Viking Saint

Drove past the stadium this morning and the team coach was parked up there. Am guessing they're jetting off to Spain today then?

Out of interest, anyone know what he's done in terms of moving out, leaving the country etc? Wonder if he'll take an early retirement now or go for one more job....

When Adkins came, we weren't in the relegation zone and gambling on our Premiership survival

Depressing that keeping us up right now would seem like a hugely successful appointment. Couldn't be more underwhelmed if I tried but you're here now so don't fuck it up.

There have been brains in the background???

WTAF??

I'm feeling fucking inspired already

I read a BBC article earlier where he seemed very non-committal and gave the impression that it was a long way from a done deal. I'm still hoping this is the case. Don't want a Stoke failure anywhere near us (and yes I know Strachan took Coventry down but he had Premiership experience and actually a playing career of note). Are our band of internationals going to be looking at Jones and thinking 'he's the guy to help me advance my career'? I couldn't be more underwhelmed and it feels like a throwback to the cheapskate RL days. Wholly depressing when you consider the proven calibre of manager that Villa and Wolves have managed to attract. All for giving young homegrown talent a chance at the right time, a la Nige, but our Premiership survival is at stake. This is not the time to be taking a risky punt and hoping for the best.

I think we all do...

Can he play up front??

He's not been the only one

Absolutely dire. Whole of midfield gone awol. Cannot see where a goal is going to come from based on this. Making Palace look like Brazil

Ralph looks absolutely clueless and out of ideas

Bet Zaha is looking forward to going up against Lyanco.....😆😆😆

This. He's grossly inconsistent and while he was very good yesterday, we need him to turn up far more often. We can't afford to carry passengers.

Ely MotM? Granted, that was his best game for us but Lyanco all day long

Walcott. FFS

GTFI!!!!

Just danced his way out of trouble again.....

He actually looks like he gives a shit and doesn't like getting embarrassed. I'd take that from most of our underperforming XI atm

It's not just an appearance, unfortunately

He hardly touched him. You'd be embarrassed to go down like that

Good finish but non-existent marking. JWP and Ely invisible so far

'The Southampton Way'
