And the majority of the 'players' on the pitch. This lot will struggle in the Championship next season.

Now you're skint!

Nathan Jones says Southampton fans should not expect a "super busy" January transfer window, but has not ruled out a return to St Mary's for centre-back Jan Bednarek. The Poland international is on a season-long loan at Aston Villa, but has only started one Premier League match this term. Jones said: "There's certain positions that we want to strengthen in because we need help and competition in those positions. "That (defence) is one position where we would like to strengthen, but I'm not going say names or anything now because there's a lot going on and it won’t be a super-busy January. "But we would like to make sure that the squad we go into January with and the one we come out of it with will be stronger and better." Can anyone translate that statement?

After last night's performance they look safe.

Rasmus Ankersen referred to in a recent Sports Direct publication as a 'transfer guru'! They ought to delete that claim as soon as possible.

"If the right offer came in for United Group, he says, he would have no qualms about recommending a sale to his partners. When it comes to Southampton, Šolak says he does not plan to squeeze the club for profit, and would prefer to build it and increase the value." Thoughts anyone?

He was whining to the local press (The EDP) before Christmas that the fans didn't like him!

'Better' players in better order please - 1 to 4.

Out of interest, how many of our current squad would be first choice for another Premier League team?

Does Mara fit into that analysis.

Good for you, a true supporter.

Whoever was involved in the purchase of Mara should be looking for employment elsewhere. Against League One opposition Mara can't be summoned from the bench? It pains me to write it but, The Saints are heading in the wrong direction.

Bordeaux, where he came from, are on a par with a League One outfit - who recommended him?

Why stop there?

Baggage handlers!

Agree, his appointment can only end in tears. Championship manager with Championship 'strikers', gravity will prevail!

You have to be fouled in the opponent's penalty area for a penalty. Our lot need a road map to find it!

Yes, how Southampton didn't get Wilson when Bournemouth were relegated in 2020 is a mystery.

Agree, how many other managers in the bottom half of the premier would go two up front away to City?

Absolute pony!

What is the point of your question - please?

Agree, certainly not at this level. Yet, some posters on here suggest that Adams, and Armstrong A. can keep Southampton in the Premier League - dream on!

A couple of, soon to be available, replacements for Ralph. Chris Wilder and Steve Bruce 🤣.

The players aren't good enough at this level.

Another game with no shots on target in an hour - pathetic!
