As predicted Wish Ralph could motivate them better

Agree. Don’t know what Perraud did to be dropped and balance made awry

Sigh. Kalvin. TalkSPORT said he starts

Yeah, something clearly up. Maybe he wants Newcastle millions. No loss really.

This is a 2-0 home win. Calvin Phillips back for them means bad news for us

This. Pay him what he wants or work in a coaching role. Just keep him. Still one of the best around. Reads the game so brilliantly.

You do realise you can sign pre-contract agreements? Easy, guys, was only joshing

We've won the race. We are monitoring the situation. How Saintsy.

Indeed, although why we didn't have our subs on in the first place still bemuses me. Ralph cocked that one up big time.

Undoubtedly will favour the bigger teams. Look at our bench compared to most of the top 10

KWP very good. Felt like the big boys didn’t want to pass to JWP much. And he was a bit passive for me. Shame. Should stamp his authority a bit more?

I hope the club are looking around because we all know that being in the England squad is prime territory for players getting their eyes a-wanderin

Went to Leeds away once a while back when invited by a Leeds-supporting mate so had to sit with him in the home section. When we nearly scored I instinctively stood up and raised my hands to my head in an 'ooo' moment, realised what I was doing, looked around, and saw a bloke making a 'slit the throat' sign whilst staring at me. Nice.

A draw if we are really on it. Fear another loss though - would see them safe and we're on the beach

Really hope this Winks thing is unrelated to any bid from Spurs for Ward Prowse. If it is it would be like swapping a pound coin for a house

He's absolutely awful

Southampton & Crystal Palace have both expressed an interest in Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks, the 26-year-old will be allowed to leave this summer should a ‘sensible offer’ arrive #saintsfc [ @AJ_Wood15 , star] Christ almighty. Really hope not. He's absolute gash

Treats Ward Prowse pretty shabbily tbh

Three subs. Mount stays on. And how does Henderson still play for England. Big club shite

Cannot understand how Mount starts ahead of JWP. Except Chelsea, obvs. Always felt Mount is overrated

Debating getting rid of a keeper who has just been picked to play for England while honouring a ropey old mistake-monger like McCarthy with a new contract instead is the kind of Saintsness I thought we had left behind. Forster must either have a very bolshie agent or we are grumbling at paying 'over the odds' but his performances over the last period are one of the main reasons we are where we are and probably worth the extra. But someone is clearly digging their heels in. All a bit of a shame. But if he has to go, again, I hope we get a new number 1, rather than muddling through on the cheapskatery.

Must be the terrible keeper some think, eh?

To be honest he should be well ahead of Smallbone. Can't understand that.

Surprised at the Font swap, though. Thought he was happy at Lille

If we let him go as I fear we might, given our mystifying decision to award McCarthy a new contract, then the new keeper we get in must be a clear number 1, not an understudy to McCarthy. In my view. We need to look abroad, I would think. Get a young keeper with good distribution and awareness as well as shot-stopping capability. Spend some money on what is a crucial position, or we will fritter points away again from blunders. Personally I would have given Forster the contract but if he's being super-greedy (which I suspect) then we have little choice. He'll have other suitors, but we won't get much.
