St Louis

Who doesn't? I think they look a better side than most of the other bottom half, dont concede many, have a bit of fight, etc and have given themselves a chance.

Is one or has one?

.

Out of interest, why do people assume that Davis and Watson aren't decent coaches? Not suggesting they should step up if we lost Ralph BTW, just wonder whey they get bashed on here when no evidence I've ever seen or heard that they aren't up to their jobs at the club.

Valery & Vokins arent great, but surely we are better off having some (average) backup at fullback, than none at all!? I can only guess that we thought we had at least one in the bag (Williams, AMN or Tanganga) and the departures were already far down the line or signed-off. Im sure the club arent best pleased with how it panned out.

Definite Yes from me at the minute. Brings experience and a great attitude, which cant be underestimated in a young squad like ours. He is so direct and takes us forward every time he gets the ball (we've played it sideways for far too long), I know we haven't scored many goals of late, but I definitely think he brings us more of an attacking threat and we create more chances when he plays. We threw him in and played him a lot, and he'd not had regular game time for a while, so not surprised he looked a little jaded in the last few games (especially with our high energy press), but I think he's coped pretty well. I guess a lot will hinge on this injury he has, and if he's out for a few months then that wont help his cause. I'm not convinced we would take him and Minamino in the summer, so a lot will depend on how that one plays out too.

I feel that Leicester might be the next destination for Danny, 'if' they qualify for the Champions League and have some extra money to spend. Vardy is 34 now, and his back up not good enough for the Premier League, let alone the Champions League. They will certainly be on the look out for a striker this window or next.

I got to see the new kits for this season 3 months before this season kicked off (and 6 weeks before club announced them). No idea when the 21/22 season is scheduled to start, but I should be able to see the shirt 3 months(ish) beforehand again, so will share what I can, when I can.

How do you know he wasn't? Transfers don't always get over the line. Im not saying Crook is a trusted source or not, but a bit harsh to judge him on that.

Can Theo play next week against Everton?

This is basically it. Apart from its a slightly darker red, the black part of the collar continues down into the V (but white stops like you've done it) and the badge/shield is flat along the top and sides. No I didnt notice, sorry.

No, the badge position is more like this.

Thats it. Our badges arent so high on the chest, but thats the template.

Thats very close. The badge isn't so triangular and the collar is slightly different, with a break in the white piping at the front, but good effort. Im not so sure on shorts and socks.

Is Forster back training with us now the SPL has finished, I havent seen him in any pics? May be worth looking at between now and the end of the season, he's come back after a strong 6 months, maybe some confidence has returned. Even if it's just to raise his fee?

No, its plain red on the back.

Near on perfect, a couple of tiny differences... - White sash goes from the top of shoulder down to bottom corner of shirt - The top of the shield around the badge is straight (like this one, but a bit larger: https://classic-shirts.com/product-eng-57643-2003-05-SOUTHAMPTON-SHIRT-S.html) - White piping around 95% of inside collar (with an inch gap of just black at centre/bottom of V) - White detail on the black arm cuffs (a bit like this: https://www.footballkitnews.com/22754/new-az-alkmaar-jersey-2019-2020-under-armour-az-home-kit-19-20/) - Virgin Media logo (in white) on (crest side) sleeve. Personally I don't like it at all, its just not Saints. The red is also slightly darker than your mock (think Man Utd). Your mock actually makes it look nicer than the real thing.

That is very close! Sash goes the other direction though (with UA badge on it), the badge is now on a white shield, and theres white piping at top of collar and sleeves. I've heard that we may have a blue third kit.

I havent seen the away, but I've spoken to someone who has. They said 'its white with a red stripe' - that's their description. They arent into footie, so didnt pay as much attention as I would have! No idea if its a reverse of the home (sash) or a red hoop, or red stripe down middle, etc.

Sadly, its not sponsor free (the blue LD & ball is now black, to match the logo text and collars/cuffs, as is the UA logo) @hypochondriac - Kudos to your ITK status, or congrats on a successful guess

This is the last post I can make for 24hrs... Its just not Saints... at all 😢 I'd give it a generous 2/10 But each to their own I guess!?

Affirmative... to protect myself and others, lets just say 'Yes, I believe so' 😳

Think the reverse of 2010/11 shirt... but poorer quality and with a god awful sponsor on the front! 🤢

I agree in part, but I think he could have added value in the dressing room with his leadership and I've no doubt he'd have helped with the transition of bringing through the younger CB's we have playing now. I'm sure alongside a younger CB in some games we would have seen better results.
