Saints V Yeovil The Verdict
at 16:59:45

Cork was the best player on the park yesterday - he got stuck in and used the ball really intelligently. I hope MP can find a way to keep him in team when Wanyama returns.
I thought Yoshida looked solid yesterday and I would pick him with Fonte on Tuesday night. Finally there is no doubt that Guly was up for it and gave 100%. It was good to see the crowd get behind him and he earned his applause, however I felt he often slowed the ball down in possession and took us down blind alleys. He has been a decent squad player since our arrival in the Prem but like a couple of other players who were great for us as we moved up the leagues, he has reached his ceiling. If we are serious about challenging for top 6 / any kind of silverware it is these kind of guys who will need to be carefully replaced over time.

Out Of Their Depth ?
at 14:10:27

Been a Saints fan since the mid 80's so have seen all sorts over the years. Finally thought I would post a comment after the Spurs game and all the talk of a crisis. For me a crisis means the return of Jan Poortvliet.
There is no doubt that yesterday was disappointing as Spurs were there for the taking - however it's worth bearing in mind the size and depth of their squad in comparison to ours. We've made huge strides in the last few seasons and until the Villa game we were on fire. Unfortunately yesterday showed the Prem League and every Saints fan that our squad is simply too thin. Fox and Hoover are solid Championship players whilst I am not convinced Gazza would even get a regular League One start. These players need to be replaced ASAP.
Despite all this we are not in crisis. The Villa game was poor but losses to Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs are not the end of the world. We are extremely lucky to have MP and NC - they are both sharp guys and will see exactly the same problems that we all do. MP has to publicly back all his players to maintain morale. If there is money in the pot then I am sure there will be some activity in the window to add quality to the squad.
