Nolan

this bloke is a realist...

Its stripes. You cant make a deckchair look good, or original. hey ho.

If he came for £7.25m or less, buy him If it was more than that, don't.

I think more important is that we find players who fit the system in the close season. KWP needs back up. We need a fourth DM. The problems don't come from the system, but the lack of ability to remove tired legs.

That's for to be three at the back with Tella and KWP as wing backs surely. Armstrong and JWP in cm. Walcott as a 10 and Adams and Ings up front.

Given Southampton FC Women have played pretty much sod all competitive matches in the last 12 months, and to play against a team playing regular football... To progress another round is bloody impressive.

Most things in excess are bad for you. We cant ban most things. Good for Saints on getting a lot of money.

Allardyce has not beaten us since leaving West Ham.

of course I saw the first 30. stats remain: >4 days between games P18 W10 D4 L4 ppg 1.89 3-4 days between games P12 W0 D2 L10 ppg 0.17 (NB looks like I attributed a draw in the wrong place on my original calculations)

Vs Burnley. Lots of preparation 3 PTS.

I think the only people who were involved in international games midweek who will start will be Bednarek and Vestergaard. Ings and Redmond up front. Walcott and Tella behind.

Written in words here... It looks to be one of the two semis https://www.bbc.com/sport/56566256.amp

It's not an excuse. It's an observation. But If a pattern emerges then something should be done to change the pattern.

Still only got 1 point from games we've played 3 or 4 days after the previous game.

With Stephens and Bednarek now on long term deals, I think it was pointing to Vestergaard being cashed in on this summer. The question is how high can we push the price with a year left on his contract. 15 million was mooted by Leicester last year. 1 year left will probably be countered by his playing improvements over this season. I would hope for £25-30million considering his PL experience.

Two games ago we would have been passing back a LOT more when in those positions. I'd rather the ball being in the box, which could possibly lead to something like Adams' goal, then going back to the CB's.

I think he needs longer than to 2023 on his contract if he keeps on like this.

Let's see how well the preparation time theory pays off. Five days since Leeds. That's time for players to see videos of the opposition's weaknesses and to be able to target them specifically. I reckon we will get something from this. (I'm having the half full bit from the glass)

Its also a pity our squad depth is miniscule.

Ralph originally came with his Video Assistant. He still analyzes games and play against opponents weaknesses (in both teams and individual players) I think Ralphs already spotted this preperation time anomoly and he tried something different today. I think Tella, Adams and Armstrong today were specifically given extra days to prepare for playing Leeds. It was very close to paying off in the first half.

We have now played 10 games this season 3-4 days following the previous game. P10 W0 D1 L9 1pt or 0.1 Pt Per game Of Games we have had 5 or More Days since the previous game. P15 W8 D5 L2 29 pt or 1.93 Pts per game. Coincidence or contributing factor?

What I should've said was "insanity to Question Ralph's Job". How do you get Bertrand head back round when that happens on his 250th game for us. What needs to be sorted is the rules have to be clear. Get rid of this "clear and obvious error" crap, and officiate to the rules.

Insanity to question Ralph. We were screwed by another injury after being screwed yet again, by inconsistent Refereeing.

Highest rated player in the team according to Sofascore...

Squad number 19.... same as Tadanari Lee had.
