Comment | Southampton At Portsmouth The Verdict
at 11:44:14
I quite enjoyed the game overall
It's not difficult to see why Pompey are in a big relegation dog fight Norwich,Blackburn and Oxford have all looked better than them No quality and no class
Again missed chances cost us We could have been 2 up at half time I hope we will soon see Stewart and Armstrong in the starting 11
Azazz showed that he can be a very influential play maker Two brilliant passes should have both led to goals
Charles got some good minutes in When fit will he partner Downes or Jander as a holding pair?
Will we keep Bree or take a small fee from Charlton?If he stays he needs a new contract
Over the 2 games honours even I think We can do it again next year probably/possibly |

Comment | Portsmyth Or Portsmouth Innit ? Take Our M27 Derby Weekend Quiz
at 20:39:30
Nick there is a more modern argument between Southampton and poppy dockers
In the early 1970s ship owners wanted to take the chanel island ferries away from Portsmouth and bring them to Southampton
As Michael Foot han introduced the National Dock Labour Scheme Southampton dockers said no and under the scheme they had to stay in Pompey
The only regular ferry service from Southampton at that time was to Santader and when the employers wanted to take it to Pompey they said yes
That caused a lot of animosity |

Pluses where the clean sheet,3 points and a back 4
I enjoyed the link up between Wellington and Scienza It looks like a pairing to develop.Other than that the defence,the m/f and the forward line where like 3 separate units
Nobody had a poor game but nobody stood out for more than the odd move
I hope it has given confidence to the team for Sunday but to me they didn't look cocky enough |

Comment | Southampton V Hull City The Verdict
at 12:06:30
There is something inherently wrong in our club.I read about many conspiracy theories some of which seem plausible but none of which are provbable. I have wondered almost since SR took over why so many back room staff turn out to be short term appointments Is it all about money?
I believe that we have a reasonable,but bloated squad.We should reduce it in this window but not by shipping out experienced players OK Baz isn't the best keeper in the world but he has been there and done it Likewise Fraser
We are surely now at the point where the players personal pride should kick in.Just go out there and play to the best of your ability |

Comment | Southampton V Hull City The Preview

I will go to the game more in hope than anticipation
I would prefer a back 4 as we started with it at Donny using fringe players My cb pairing would probably be THB and Capt Calamity who in fairness does get a good score on headed clearances Just hope the don't run at him
Remember RoKo dropping Boric unfavourable of Forster when AB hadn't done anything wrong That didn't work out bad and got us a top 8 finish I don't see Peretz anymore of a gamble than that Against Donny I saw him shouting orders,I saw him trying different ways of getting us to go forward .A little gang ho at times but give him a break

Comment | Bazunu Leaves St Mary's ! Are Southampton Really Going To Gamble On An Inexperienced Keeper
at 22:06:16
Bazunu was where our tippy tappy started Perhaps this the SR way of breaking up the cartel of tippy tappy
He was partially impeded for the first goal although should have done better with the second
Shoot from around 18yrds against Baz,low across the keeper and you stood a good chance
I'll wait a half dozen ga.es before making a call on Peretz but agree the SR track record is not good

He finally tried a back four with fringe players now let's try it with first choice players
Either Roeslev or Jelert was touted as a player who could play in either full back position so when fit that would solve that one THB and which other cb is the question I'm loathe to suggest it because I don't rate him at all but captain calamity is probably the best bet Unless of couurse they surprise us and buy a 32 year old cb with EPL experience
Looking forward to seeing Charles playing with Jander as the holding pair or with Downes if we go 4 3 3
If we play out with pace we can score goals From the cup tie Peretz was a bit gung ho at times but he didn't always want to play tippy tappy That's a big plus |

Comment | Gavin Bazunu Tipped For Move From Southampton To Stoke City
at 10:50:21
I would like to think Rambo is coming back but I very much doubt it
I thought Peretz was coming as No2 to Bazunu because AM is out of contract in the summer I wasn't surprised to see him in the cup game and thought he did OK The second goal maybe he should have saved
In recent games Baz has kept us alive a few times and I was hopeful that he was getting better than ok
On the positive side ourr newbie did try a couple of different ways of getting out of defense One time he tried throwing the ball to Fellows but didn't quite get it right and there was less tippy tappy
As per normal I'll judge him after more game |

Comment | RIP Martin Chivers A Southampton FC Legend
at 19:48:14
Chivers was the first named player to be sold by Saints after I became a Saints fan
I can also remember him playing for England alongside Channon
Imagine a striker that gets 95 goals in 174 games His value today would be in the hundreds of millions
Thanks Martin. RIP |

Comment | Daily Echo Hint At Player Power Issues In Southampton Squad
at 12:41:16
I posted after Tondas 5th or 6th game that I believed senior players were dictating the style of play to a young inexperienced coach And I have stood by it subsequently.
I know many didn't like the tippy happy under RM.but it worked and got us promoted.
The difference then is that the whole team played that style Now it's just the keeper,Stevens,THB,Manning and Downes They are the same players who were an automatic choice under RM
I remember posts on here criticising their selection at different times A new position was even created for Stevens who is still IMO our worst player
Spors as DoF should be all over this and laying down the law |
