Matski was far better

Somewhere in Krasnodor there is a little man in a gaming chair enjoying this display. How could he not get on this bus?

CLOSE THE CHEQUEBOOK LADS. We've got our squad.

Lovely goal from Archer, fair play. We needed that to shut up the whiners and the moaners. The manager needs time FFS

The time has come to write Will Still off.

If anyone is familiar with the 90s wrestler El Gigante / Giant Gonzales then that is very much the look Ross Stewart is going for.

Beautiful little dummy from McCarthy there. Absolute class 👏 😍🤩

I know its not going to happen but another vote from me to keep/use Edozie. Honestly he was not half bad in the Championship season and he can start and wear out a full back or come off the bench and create 15 mins of chaos. I liked him. If we went out and bought someone with his exact age/stats tomorrow I think most fans would be happy with it.

We're going to win this so fucking bad

absolutely hyped for the next few days. This new wood we are going to be bringing are going to be awesome 👌

It's times like this I wish that Southampton Football Club had a Sporting Director and a Player Recruitment Department.

I think that is what Spors was supposed to be working on since he started (when we knew, for sure, what division we were going to be in weeks before the other teams). Still time of course but I genuinely thought we would have signed some gems from Germany or Scandinavia or wherever by now. Players like Damion Downs, but, you know, good.

If you think this forum/the fanbase would have accepted signing the Rotherham goalkeeper for a million quid as our Bazunu cover and front line Premier League goalkeeper then you are out of your fucking mind.

Now we have the Dibling cash, who is volunteering to track the outbound flights from Krasnador airport?

"Look, we were determined that we would not just sign anybody" ####we don't sign anybody #####

Well done Spors and the recruitment team, absolutely fantastic work, well done for getting this one over the line 👍👍👊✊️

In fairness we definitely would do that and more likely than not we will do that this week.

Nice to see we continue to be efficient at getting players put of the door. Less so in signing anyone, at all, who will actually improve the first team. Tick tock.

😂 OK then.

No-one has written him off. No one.

The point is, as covered by benjii above, is that he isn't so hard done by, the squad is not that "deficient" as you're making out.

A manager has inherited a squad of players signed before he arrived? Fuck me. You mean like every single football manager since the dawn of time?

They will beat Celtic.

Why doesn't Man City or PSG or Real or Barcelona just hire Russell Martin then? He'd be cheaper than whoever they have now and he'll get success "simple as that really". Or, maybe, just work with me here, it is not as simple as that really.

You missed the part where he achieved two consecutive promotions and made a better fist of Premier League promotion than we did. But yeah great point
