RM needs to make a decision on Jack Stephens and remove the captaincy from him. I have always felt that given a run of games Stephens settles in but we don't need him at the moment and can't risk giving him cameos like yesterday as that could have back fired. Would he have come on if he wasn't captain, I think not. So strip him of the captaincy and keep him on the bench PLEASE.

Talk sport radio have said that the club is willing to listen to offers around £20 million for Che Adams, can only hope this is because we have someone coming in and he wants game time, Otherwise seems risky if we are trying to sell him to free up funds to replace him with only a couple of days to get deals done.

Che Adams is one of the most intelligent footballers I’ve seen. reminds me of Ricky lambert but without the finishing . would be gutted to see him leave


2.) 31 Jan 2023 11:24:08
There is no way we will sell him unless we already have a replcement


3.) 31 Jan 2023 12:23:10
What has happened to our usual transfer philosophy. We’ve never been one for last minute chasing around and panic buys? We normally do business in good time . apart from a striker of course.
Che must stay

Listening to the first half and I don't see how Nathan Jones can stay. How can we still have no clear way of playing. He's had his chance let's admit he's not up to it and move on. If we do go down how much will Lavia,tino, Bella be worth then,not as much as if we stay up and they will all want to jump ship. If big Sam still wants to manage give it to him a few shroud signings and we might survive.

Joe needs to be benched so many passes going backwards sideways also slows the play down all I can think is the players have downed tools and there is a bigger problem in the dressing room than we know about

We need to change to make the playoffs .
I think we will, because we have had such a strong run, but no one will fear us now and everyone will try and beat us…
Martin wasn’t earning his money against lesser opposition, now we are playing some really good clubs, and clubs like Millwall, who found us out.
He needs to have a little chat with Buddha

Love the fact that I've just seen the starting 11 for today, then looked at the subs bench, and bar the defense thought it wouldn't have bothered me if any of them were starting. Real squad depth for the big push. COYS

And it was the depth of the squad that turned the game on its head, Saint Kenny.

We were deservedly behind at the break - a throw back to our pedestrian and purposeless football of 30 games ago.

Then the second half and like most of St Mary’s I was mesmerised by the transformation. And it was the subs that done it!

There’s a lot to digest from this match - some of the worst and best crammed into one of the games of the season.

On my journey home I was mulling over whether Aribo would get back into team when he returns from AfCON. You see, unlike most fans I’m not sure he is effective at this level and I certainly don’t see him as a shoe-in. Technically his first touch isn’t great and I’m not sure he sees a pass quick enough. Maybe it’s me, but another selection conundrum for RM.

Great to see Sulemana back and going back to Saint Kenny’s point, to bring him and Odozie on from the bench is any Championship manager’s dream.

Time for a celebratory cold beer (or two) after another 200 + mile round trip!

It was an another good learning curve for Saints coaching staff when Huddersfield took the game to us. They were aggressive, ran at our back four with a very high work rate which is the first time any team has taken that approach against us. Since October. That would not have happened if Downes had stayed on the pitch as he wins so many challenges in front of the back 4, he also makes professional fouls which stops players running at our centre backs. Bringing on 60+ million quid worth of subs does help! The players could have capitulated but credit to them they hung in and ground out an impressive win. For me the biggest improvement is that every game recently we have looked capable of scoring at least 3 goals, except Watford cup match, that should get us promoted either automatically or in the play offs.


3.) 11 Feb 2024 12:16:19
You’re right 2408 and also different types of goals from different players.


4.) 11 Feb 2024 22:34:50
For so many seasons, we’ve had weak player (s) in the team. The starting line ups were suspect, the best players not on the pitch .
and those days have gone!
It is an absolute pleasure to see quality all over the pitch, with the bench looking incredible!
Youngsters like Mara and Edozie, playing for fun .
Smiles all over the pitch .
Everyone attacking, and everyone wanting to score.

What an absolute pleasure to watch

Ticking over nicely now. Happy to keep winning one nill. I know there are some on here who are not happy with the goal difference, but who was the last team to be promoted on goal difference?, points get you promoted. With Leicester losing a few important players to the African cup we could close gap to them.

SaintKenny

1.) 24 Dec 2023 23:27:48
It’s not so much the goal difference,
But the fact that we are one up and such a huge percentage of our games.
But I have to hold my hand up and admit, we do seem to be getting away with it… apart from the old game, where the opponent scored later on.

Compared to previous seasons, there is an amazing feeling for us to be winning and competing.

If we are going to be promoted, this is the season it needs to happen, the championship is quite weak compared to previous…
And something I only realised today I’ll allow game of the season is against Leeds!

And to the Ed’s… happy Christmas to all, and thank you for all the work you do, especially putting up with our rantings!
Merry Christmas to you

{Ed001's Note - thank you south hants! Merry Christmas to you and all the posters and lurkers.}

Rm comes out and says we need to be better at winning the ball back and selects a midfield once again with no one in it to put a tackle in and win the ball back.

SaintKenny

1.) 19 Sep 2023 20:42:02
Agree, why are we leaving our potential match winners on the bench too, Sulemana and Alcaraz, flair and will at least try something different. Sorry to say Smallbone is just not a general, yes he had a god spell at Stoke.but my Nan would've looked good in that Stoke side. Manning is pony, Fraser not exactly an upgrade on anything we already have either. Our bench tonight apart from Charly and The Kamal is average with nothing to suggest we will change the game with subs! I thought after Sheffield Wednesday game, RM might actually do some good but sadly he looks like another Jones in the making!

You've got to hand it to Chelsea, Liverpool make an offer for Lavia and we tell them we want £50 million so they come back with two offers well short of this figure. Chelsea offer £48 million, we tell them it's £50 million and they come back and offer £55 million. Job done. Time to start the rebuild.

Never thought I would say this but Neil Warnock has his last game in charge of Huddersfield tonight, and has says he's not retiring yet. He ticks all the boxes you have mentioned.

The downside was proved last year. If we keep buying youngsters with no leadership the team will not flourish. As for the u21 players you mentioned, I went and watched the u21 Vs villa u21 last night and it was not a great advertisement for football at that level.

I feel until we get a solid CDM and goal keeper in, it really doesn't matter who our center backs are. At the moment they have no protection in front of them and very little behind them.

1 goal and 2 assists in 17 games. Sounds ready made for us!

Martin Dubravka on loan from Newcastle, they have recalled him from Man u. Then loan bazuna to a championship team.

Are you happy now? It's not like we were losing the game. And possession football has nothing to do with not hitting the target.

I was going to play devil's advocate. Whilst I agree our football and tactics are not the kind I would like to see we are unbeaten in 15. Ipswich are the only surprise team, out of the three that came down we were the worst and still are. But Leicester and Leeds kept hold of most of their squad ours was picked apart. Looking at Leeds results they're not blowing teams away either. So to be where we are at this point in the season I see as a positive.

Whilst I agree I would like to see him in a coaching roll I do question the, knowing the club, that is always spouted about. Since he left the owners have changed, the players have changed, we are in a different league. So at best he might know the kit man still and where to park!

We still need to replace Romeu, until we sign a CDM we will struggle against the better teams. As that midfield three are great ball carriers but we need someone to do the dirty work like Marsden and Chaplow used to do.

Has shown glimpses of potential at Liverpool and did ok at Blackburn.But there lyes the problem, another unproven 20 year old. Wonder weather anyone is looking at Drinkwater, bags of experience and on a free even if only for a year?
