Yorkshire Saint

I'd a free that his positioning in both those goals and tracking was abysmal. But there is a lot of space down his side as a result of Cedric out of position I feel

Don't knock Salisbury and district league. Always need a ref.

Paper spin perhaps but unlikely to help the perception Hughes often portrays. Mark Hughes calls Southampton fans predicting his sack 'predictable' | Daily Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6425179/Mark-Hughes-calls-Southampton-fans-predicting-sack-predictable.html

Any inside knowledge on anything going on inside the walls at saints ? Players position on Hughes etc ..

So my first games at the Dell were under Nicholl, archers was the away end then. Where were the away fans before that, in one of the wings ?

Seen as a bit of a hard case ? Ha .. I'm not sure where you get that from but I'm not going to squabble with you i just have fond memories of Milton road and the songs we sang versus the current sterile feeling. I agree with a post above that a lot of this is in relation to being able to identify with the players as we did in league 1 and the championship.

Good call...

Every where we go .....

Ha ha .. not a bit topic then

I miss the Milton road and I miss many of the songs with retrospect. I think my favourite was: I can't drink and I cant drive but that doesn't really matter. Coz I come down from southampton and i can drive a tractor. I can plough and milk a cow and drive a great big mower. But the thing that I like most is to be a strawberry grower. Oooo arrrrrr oooo arrrr ooooo to be a Southener. I'm often surprised how many are never sung now, like wings of a sparrow. But what others so people remember and is it not worth trying to rekindle some ....

Owen

Knock knock...

The performance and perhaps the result will show us a lot about what will happen next with the club and Hughes in the coming weeks and months no doubt.

It comes to something when a recognised ITK get irresponsible with news

ITK Guan ? Because tbh I'd take Bruce over Hughes any day

Sat in a bar in Barcelona.. they have turned it over for a re run of yesterday's rugby. ****ing embarrassing.

Interesting.. fans could turn on decisions like this

Straight to penalties then

Are you Les Reed

Just back from the game. Nervous first 20 minutes trying to keep them at bay and then it was all over. Generally though there were some small glimpses of good play down the wings but in hindsight I'd have started Austin ahead of Long, what's the point in going down the wings if you have no one to hit on the middle. What worried me was some of the body language, Lemina was woeful and just kept shaking his head. Cedric's team work especially with Redmond was woeful and led to first goal. Hoedt looked petulant at times just booting the ball but tbh some of his balls out to the wing were class. Hojberg tries hard and wears his heart on his sleeve but I really thought that some of the players looked broken. Alex 5 - did nothing wrong Cedric 4 - not a team player Targett 4 - Still not premier league standard (yet) and looked a bit shaw like and over weight. Hoedt 5 - Petulant Big V 5 - Slow but made some good blocks. Badly exposed for 2nd goal. That's bad. Bertrand 6 - he's a good player, no doubt but a captain I'm not sure Romeu 5 - Tried his best but he's a shadow of the player he was. Hojberg 6 - Spirited! Lemina 4 - Just poor Redmond 6 - Better than last season but still light weight Long 5 - Just never going to out foil VVD and Liverpool's defence. Subs: Austin 6 - should have started to have someone to hit Bednerak 5 - Fine, did nothing wrong Armstrong 5 - Fine, did nothing wrong Final point, I thought we were bloody quiet as fans today and most of our songs were more interested in why Liverpool weren't singing. My question is, why encourage them. Roll on Wolves

I feel inept in asking this as I love to see my team,but is it so bad that I should not bother? That picture above looks pretty damning

But you can see the pitch ?

I've just purchased a ticket but only restricted view left. Anyone know how bad the view is row 34 ? McCarthy Cedric Bertrand Maya Big V Mario Romeu Mo Armstrong Ings Redmond

Agreed, Thank you for that. A well structured interview. The podcasts are always enjoyable.

Apparently we were excellent today ...https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-08-25/mark-hughes-post-match-southampton-leicester-city-premier-league
