  1. Also very unlikely that Chelsea would have sanctioned a move directly to Man Utd. At least with Saints they know they can insert a buy back clause etc, and I assume a sell on clause if we sell to anyone but Chelsea.
  2. Looking at the positives. Diallo is starting to look like a player. Ward Prowse and Bendarek look like they should (PL Players) N’Lundulu building some confidence. Watts looks like a prospect for the future. On the other side: Valery is all over the place. He’s obviously got some talent, but sharpness and decision making seem missing. Long is past it. Stephens confirming what we already knew. Vokins doesn’t look great (but a better back up than Valery) Chauke bit hard for him to get into this.. we’ll see in the future

    Don’ think it’s a coincidence that he’s not played well in last few games and overall team performance has gone a bit stagnant. We need him to get his touch and confidence back.
  4. I don’t understand why we can’t have progress, WiFi, some comfort etc without changing the character of football. I.e. As poster above says, the catering service at St Mary’s is appalling. It all starts with the club having a customer first approach. I.e. Some stadiums seem to have nailed the whole buy your half time drinks before the game, so see no reason why Saints can’t sort this, without the need for a Champagne bar. I’d be v. happy if they put in great WiFi, but only turned it on at half time, so I can see how badly the skates are doing...
  5. Positives from the game: - we won and are in the 4th round - we rested most of our key players with a tough run of games coming up - Smallbone took his goal really well and hopefully should have some confidence built - Vokins look pretty decent (alright he didn’t exactly have a PL player up against him) - Vokins took his goal well (albeit with a deflection) - Long took his goal well (albeit VAR disallowed).. Negatives/worries from the game - Vestergaard is truly awful. Slowed everything down, starts form the wrong shape, which means is he’s always going to be negative and pass inside. Passing awful - Danso again played out of position. He did ok.. but body language wasn’t great, and looks a bit beaten down. - JWP didn’t get rested. Played ok, but more worried about PL - Romeu looks off the pace - Che Adams looks lacking in intensity and very low in confidence, but service was shocking - Boufal looked like a petulant child from about 15 minutes in and didn’t do enough. - Smallbone didn’t do enough (other than his goal) We looked like we had changed 10 players. We struggled to break then down, play with any intensity and strolled along like it was a reserves game (maybe it was).. ..thankfully Huddersfield were truly awful, so made it comfortable.

  7. Jack pulled a lot of shirts last year... not sure he’ll know how to defend if VAR is checking for them. I would love Jack to step up and improve, but fear he thinks he’s better than he is and will never be more than backup. Would love it if I’m wrong though..
  8. Surely it also depends on timing. Cheer on the team until the final whistle... then make your feelings known depending on the attitude and the result
  9. Please let the ‘player from France’ be a goalkeeper...
  10. Is he an upgrade on Long? Yes. He will only come if he can play striker.
  11. I’ve only been to one other Saints game at Old Trafford. (The game where Charlie scored in the dying minutes).. so hoping to keep up my 100% record. My daughter’s first away game as well.. so hoping we pull a rabbit out of a hat.. an think that’s all we can hope for right now..
  12. We’ll find out now.. if the players were really ‘over-coached’..be interesting to see who they bring in. If he was so good.. and the condition wasn’t ‘serious’.. why is he not just taking a break and coming back to Saints when it’s fixed..
  13. Don’t think Walcott would come back to be a wide player, as he’s seen himself as a striker for quite a few years. He would be an upgrade on Long as our run around and not score much striker...
  14. Agree. Boufal got nowhere near.. clear penalty... but think he should have still have given the yellow card, as the lad had both his legs together going for his triple pike, so deserves all he got there..
