Ralph is still much better than the average manager we would replace him with. He's not a world class manager, if he was we'd lose him. We're much better with then without.

I love Ralph but I really don't get not bringing in Djenepo. Or doing anything to change it.

I don't know what's happened to him, he was quite good about a year ago. He's been absolutely awful in the second half.

Exactly and we had given ourselves a really good chance of getting something.

Utter idiocy. That's drop-able from McCarthy.

Bloody hell that was good, both touches.

Can we un-rescind the red card?

He might not get the move he wants if he doesn't pick back up at some point.

Redmond's looked good #clutchingatstraws

Maybe if we're a couple of goals down and the game is essentially over. Can't see such a gamble if we're holding on for the win/draw.

Yes. He's probably been our main/best playmaker this year. And the threat from set pieces is a big part of our game. It's probably not a great reflection on some other parts of the team though.

As long time sufferers of Southampton Football Club, I think us fans appreciate the job Ralph is doing because we know what a mess he inherited. The 9-0s hurt, but nearly any other manager would have us relegated or battling against it, he's lifted us up to solid mid table with further aspirations, incredible job.

As an aside, how highly do we rate Ramsey? Quite the opportunity opening up for him.

Pompey fans will love him for getting sent off. Afraid to say most of the racist abuse will have come from our own fans, don't have to have spent much time in St Mary's to know we have some dim supporters.

Some of it will be, but there will be plenty of young fans in the UK who are willing to be racist. Unfortunately social media is the wild west and you can get away with abuse anonymously fairly easily if you're "smart". Anyone doing so not anonymously should be named and shamed, and banned for a time.

I'm a 60 odd year old MP and this is rough, can't imagine how it is for the youngsters. I remember a couple of heavy defeats when I was a kid, doesn't make for a pleasant time in school the next day.

Good post. It's difficult to remember after last night but there are worse owners out there than Gao, since he's been in charge we've brought in Ralph and Semmens and our transfer quality has improved. Most of that is because he's fairly hands off, but there are definitely worse options out there.

God I hope so. I actually dont think Gao is the worst owner but he doesnt have the cash. Someone to come in a properly back Ralph would be great.

Long enough to clearly remember the spring of '05 :sick-emoji:

Yeah. I always thought it was a bit silly to make a blanket statement like that. Valery clearly has the ability to be have a career as a professional footballer somewhere in the top two divisions, a successful loan could easily see him rekindle his Southampton future.

I needed this, really brings a point of perspective. Things really aren't that bad.

Isn't he purely a right back? Or can he play both sides?

He's been a victim of his own versatility and being a good pro at Arsenal, can't blame him for forcing his chance at CM at this stage.

King would be a decent signing but no chance. He will be able to get himself a cracking move on a free in the summer.
