As I told you 4 months ago, Saints are trying to sign Sverre Nypan but are facing huge obstacles to completing a deal. Nypan is the next Odeggard, fingers crossed we get him.

According to David Ornestein Southampton think it's the players that is the problem not Russell Martin. And he won't be leaving anytime soon.

Imo it's both about what about you guys?

One look at RMs history of team performances and results, will tell you it’s the clown himself.
Players are we being asked to play a style that they are totally uncomfortable with, it’s draining the confidence out of them.
RM will never change because the team is playing how he always dreamed of playing .
What a clown . an absolute cocky fool

Rafa back in the country, on MOTD2 sitting next to Theo. Is this a sign?

Not sure who was in charge, but this Paulo fella could have saved a lot of money for a goalkeeper. 25m for a proper goal scoarer?

Living in Milton Keynes, I've watched Martin from the start of his management career, Murphy.
You are spot on that he will only play a certain way and it is only successful if he has the best players in that league. He'd actually be a great manager for City when Pep leaves but useless for a promoted team who are fighting to stay up. His players will continue to get caught out time and time again messing around with it at the back. It's so frustrating to watch when you keep falling in to the same trap EVERY week.
Lovely bloke, great to watch when it goes well but just too wedded to his ideas to change and admit that it won't work with what he has got.

If and when we get a new manager is there any chance that we could please play our best players in their right positions it is unbelievable that KWP AND BELKA KOTCHER can't find a place in our team whatever differences they have with the manager must be put aside for the good of the team

No excuses RM had most of pre-season to formulate his strongest x1 (and obviously still doesn’t know today) .Perhaps he was also blindsided by persistently shoe-horning Stephens in the starting line up.Anyway perhaps Russell will engage Jack to carry his bags to a new destination! Keep On Marching!

Well, last night was a total embarrassment.

The rest of the Premier League must be laughing at us and calculating that 2 matches against Southampton this season will probably yield 6 points. I will be watching our away games at Arsenal and Man City from behind the sofa.

Hopefully RM will be sacked before November but he will be ok. In his world he is doing a great job.

Actually he is ruining our club and not helping a generally honest but uninspiring bunch of players.

He didn`t recognise the team last night. Well, if you play 2 of our brightest young talents out of position at the top of the team and 2 doubtful loanees out wide what can you expect? Over £65M worth of forwards on the bench.

Maybe I am a dinosaur but what is wrong with playing a wide player who can cross a ball/a tall centre forward/quick small striker alongside. OK Le Tissier/Beattie/Pahars not available but Dibling / Onachu / Armstrong are.

Oh and perhaps most important of all stop fiddling around at the back. Pleased to see Ramsdale is looking to play longer balls - just needs a centre forward to aim at.

Something has to change pretty quick otherwise we will make history as the worst PL team ever.

I Can't believe that any Manager worth his salt would have sent that team out tonight , to try and win a Derby game with no strikers is beyond belief, and yo compound this we end up with 3 so called strikers on the pitch .you couldn't make this up

I think that RM has to go now. Not sure that we'll have many unemployed managers knocking at the door but something has to change and RM only knows 1 way to play and it doesn't work against premier league sides.

No signs of improvement, if anything it's getting worse. We face Leicester, Wolves and Everton in our next five. Who says no to Potter joining by the end of the week except for the Board.

Absolutely disgusted by the performance tonight. RM needs to go.Once again, the same delusional game plan that is making our club a laughing stock.

So after some time reflecting over the last couple of days this is my humble opinion. We have had a fantastic end of the window with some good quality players joining the squad which gives me some hope for the season ahead. Hopefully Archer can fill the void of a top quality goal scorer as I feel this is the only position we didn’t really fill but I was ecstatic when I saw that we had stumped up the cash to get Ramsdale in.

Now for the tactics, I get what RM is trying to achieve in his philosophy of total football and when it works it looks fantastic and is a real pleasure to watch. Beginning of last season felt very familiar to now and it took time for players to bed in to what he was trying to implement on the pitch. I fear that simply we do not have the quality in the back three currently to play this way at this level and continuing to do so is suicidal for any manager.

Work on it more in training and implement it later on the pitch. Focus on getting the ball into the midfield and go from there. If that had been the case in the opening three game we would have only conceded one goal so far as all the others have stemmed from silly mistakes from the back three. I would love to see us be able to play this way and given time to work on it more possibly it may be possible but I fear that if this continues now RM won’t have the luxury of time and will be gone within the next ten games as we will continue to lose due to silly costly errors at the back.

It doesn’t matter how good your keeper is, no keeper stands a chance keeping a clean sheet with mistakes like the ones we have seen in the edge of our own 18 yard box. The possession style can stay but it has to be played in front of the defence not amongst it on the edge of our own box if we/RM are to stand any chance of survival. I hope RM figures this out quickly as I think he could do really well for us if he gets given the time and adapts as all truly successful managers do.

Rambo is the distributor and decider. He sees what’s in front and where the opposition is. He is very experienced. Trust him, If he mixed it up a little and gad his preferred outlet say KWP and works on comms with his back line we will be ok: McCarthy mixed it up in the final. What’s RM going to do if some are kicks out? Nothing he ain’t going to drop Rambo:

Football insider reporting exclusive RM fighting to survive. Looks like he may only have until end of Sep. Not rocket science is it. But he will not change imo so suspect Potter waiting in wings

JWP getting closer, on loan. Yuri will be a purchase, Flamengo in serious financial trouble and must raise several millions before end of September. If JWP doesn't sign then Yuri will be a 2.5/3.00 loan with option to buy. Don't be surprised to see Fraser or Willian signed after closure of window.

Do you mean Corinthians in financial trouble?

Sky sports reporting Yuri highly unlikely now. As for Jwp perfect fit for our pass sideways and backwards style. Should be great counting how many passes we make before the opposition score! Jwp not for me. And as long as Stephens plays it doesn't matter who we have in goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2024 18:04:51
I think max cornet is more likely to fill the loan spot, although I would love to see JWP back, lesly and flynn with mattheus/aribo/smallbone/dibbling competing for places would only be a good thing.all though we do seem to be linked with just about every player at the moment!

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2024 18:46:01
Where’s the out and out striker we were promised? Why Yuri not coming? If we don’t get the goals we are down simples

I think archer will get us goals.still have tall pall and sicknote Stewart.

Sorry, Corinthians!

Mac Cornet will join today. There is no doubt. JWP won’t.

Not sure. Parish getting stuck in for Palace as they want him too

JWP looks like he's going Nottingham First so unlikely now to grab him as west ham rather would gain money over a loan

Looks like we have beaten Palace. Cornet en route to us👍

Forest are paying a huge loan fee and all wages for JWP, even more than Ramsdale wages! It’s all last minute and a rush, can’t understand the logic. Get your squad sorted before first game of season! Anyway, looks like a few are leaving and 2/3 coming in.

You think Yuri Alberto is likely to happen? Saw a few articles saying its unlikely now

Report says JWP rejected us. His choice. Hope he doesn’t live to regret it. No worries we will be fine without him.
