Fernandes is the key for me this evening. With FD and Big Les holding, he has free roam to do whatever he pleases. He has Cornet to close their defenders down and the wingers to shut their FBs ups. He could thrive if he gets the space.

Disappointing but it’s fine margins in the Prem. Hopefully this may be the wake up call for Martin about Jack Stephens costing us again. Dibling has been quality, Ramsdale has made some great saves. It’s not all doom and gloom.

Don’t mind the pink kit that and quite like the Starling home kit but will only be getting a red vest training top when they finally become available online.

£65 for an adult shirt, £45 for junior. Not a bad kit but for some reason it looks more Sunderland than Southampton. Will look better once we all get used to it and get a few wins in it.

At times it was like watching a Nathan Jones team. The amount of long balls pumped up by Pickford was just ridiculous. A team full of top players who play at mainly possession based clubs and we are just launching it forwards in hope to feed off scraps. Noticeable that our goal came from a quick throw out from Pickford. Also, the reason Spain had the ball back to get their second was because of yet another long ball up to Watkins. They get the throw, actually pass the ball forward to a teammate and a few moments later, goal. We were lucky to get as far as we did and that was only because we got lucky with the draw.

My ticket arrived today so can breathe a sigh of relief. Will be getting the train down from Cambridge into Kings Cross.

Is the third party merely being used to dispatch the tickets and Royal Mail still being used to deliver them? Really hope this isn’t the case as some people will be still waiting next week for their ticket! Put it in a box and say it’s a tracked parcel and it would be there tomorrow.

Not the ideal team with Mara but I’ve been unconvinced by Adams and his striking prowess for a long while. Hopefully Mara can do a job till 70 mins when they start to tire and we will bring all the pace on and let Stewart fill his boots with goals. Easy!!

Clueless Martin. The two full backs failed miserably. It’s just not good enough.

I do agree that he has been ineffective but his pace may simply mean that their back line drops a few yards. Not that it matter now anyway.

Get Brooks off and Sully on. Aribo off and Fraser on. Arma drops in deeper. Get some pace on!

This makes no sense. When Smallbone is the 6 role, we ship goals for fun. Shea Charles plays against Baggies and we keep a clean sheet. Clearly the way forward for Martin is to play the team that concedes goals to run!! Unbelievable. It’s really not rocket science, it’s clear as day.

Should have been Charles’s in from the start. Rothwell has cost us. Misses an absolute sitter to put us one up and then gifts them a goal. Hill have been good but different game if Rothwell scores.

It almost needs five changes at half time they’ve been so bad. Could be Manning, Rothwell, Mara, Smallbone, Arma, Edozie. Take your pick. We need Brooks and Fraser on ASAP.

All paid up for this evening. I’m sure IPTV or a “jailbroken fire stick” is cheaper but no idea how this modern technology works.

Get some pace on. Sully and Fraser on for Brooks and Edozie. Get Smallbone off for any bugger. Not too sure what the footballing question has to be if Smallbone is the answer!

Bad first half but fair play to Huddersfield for the way they have played. Do Saints fans expect every team to turn up and just roll over?? Get Adams off, Adarma up top with Brooks down the right. Give it 15 mins then get Sulemana on for Stuey. If we get one back before 60 mins, we win this game.

Think this could be the one where we pump a team by five or six!! 🤞

A good win and we never looked in too much trouble. Lots of positives to take, the main one being we seemed to do everything a bit quicker, with passes through the lines bypassing lots of sideways boredom. Che Adams showed yet again why we should take anything we can get for him this window. If he is one of our main strikers for the rest of the season, we can definitely forget about the automatic places. I would rather see Tyler Dibling given a chance off the bench.

So obvious, so shit. RM is too arrogant to admit he has got it wrong.

Would rather see Dibling get a chance.

Very dull to watch. We don’t move them around or draw players out of position. Everything is pedestrian. The one high point was the well worked corner for the Armstrong chance. Otherwise, uninspiring. Get Stuey and Aribo off, get Charlie and Edozie on. Would be great to see a player actually take somebody on and break the lines rather than a pass back to a CB.

First game I’ve watched I a while due to family and work commitments. It’s pretty dull. I get the passing possession type game if it moves your opponents. We seem to pass and pass and pass and pass and not one of there players is dragged out of position. When they may possibly be out of position, we play it sideways or backwards. We are lucky not to be two down.

The blokes an absolute joke. Such a smug tosser who thinks he knows best. So fed up with Southampton always trying to be so clever with their appointments. Just get a manger in who plays normal attacking and defending football. Not this idiot.
