die Mannyschaft

The quality at Southampton is an outstanding high level, The only thing at high level are the shots in row Z

Sheffield United xG is higher but Preston winning 3-2.

Interesting there are no stats on Expected back pass eXbP or Expected sideways pass eXSP to highlight a coach that these actions are Expected to produce no goals. Saints have the highest eXVD Expected verbal diarrhea. I am having a curry takeaway but normally on Saturday if Saints win. I'm expecting a Saints win based on past, present, future and historical data.

They are not a bad team, we were lucky to win up there. MOTM was Stewart and the Ref.

Expected Post Goal Threat (xT) is a soccer metric that measures the likelihood of a goal being scored from a player's actions, by considering the location and quality of passes and carries. Unlike Expected Goals (xG), which focuses on the quality of a shot, xT evaluates the threat a team or player creates over a series of actions. It is calculated by dividing the pitch into a grid and assigning a value to each zone based on how likely it is to lead to a goal, with areas closer to the opponent's goal having a higher value.

Maybe he can come back as a player, a striker as we are desperate for anyone who can wack the ball in a straight line to goal.

Or Saints players stop on edge of box look left and right the pass sideways or back. If your a professional footballer in any position including goalkeeper you should be able to hit the goal from ede edge. We don't play real football its some middle of the pitch keep ball. Strikers should never pass they are there to hit the goal.

Its a lose lose situation as we are so far down table. Preston win then its another team we are further away from in top 10, Sheffield win and another team catching us up. A draw is best but as long as we better that. We get a draw and still stuck in 17th 18th 19th

Only on -6 . If people think Saints can still get playoff place end season the Wed can make up the ground. Should beat Oxford.

Has the allocation sold out yet at 8 away games?

Scienza looks class so he will be off end season.

He's must be be of those managers who don't watch opposition games on video or the tv screen is broken.

Agree on paper its a win. But our style of play is too ridged, robotic and predictable. Its time for more creative play. Its double pressure on the players as its a six pointer plus a must win game (unless we play for a draw)

Can't our coaches at each game in dug out just make notes on opposition players and complied a list of who we could buy in transfer windows. They all look decent enough players to me. No need for consultants or even PS5, XBox data. Its not difficult. Or I can do it from Northam end.

At least we cant go down with 12 points again.

The slow pace and approach is not helping fans to get interested in the game. I watch Eastleigh and Winchester city and the pace of the game is faster and more intense, certainly for longer periods of the game. If I rate entertainment value for Saints its 2/10 Winchester city 8/10. To me Saints are are just so boring to watch. I think if we were in leaque 1 would games be more exciting, would we play better football and score more goals, spend more time in opponents box? It's really terrible football.

2/10. 2 players will be off next season as won't develop at Saints, too many Fernandes situations where anyone any good will want to leave or clubs with money will pay what we want and cant turn down £20m plus. The window confirms my suspicion that players are brought on stats and data basis. No one goes to grounds anymore and watches how a player plays in a real game situation.

Too many new players brought in too late which has rules out top 2 finish. Top 2 finish was expectations for the club and fans who now realise its anything from midtable, to we are i bottom 6 survival to it could all fall in place in May for 6th. The football on the pitch is not anything near expectations and the price we paid for players will have fans comparing value spent vs points gained. We are the Man City of championships this actually helps other teams to motivate to win v the most expensive team. A lot of fans just want to be entertained, watch football and that not there on the pitch. Some want points. The 10 mins block of decent football doesn't help as most of game is possession sideways and that reminds fans of other managers tactics so that's not helping. Too many subs, no starting 11 and what has actually happened on pitch us Saints have been out played all season so far except Boro and Swansea. It all contributes to a massive reality check. Fans need to accept and expect a draw at best each week until Saints can play for 90 mins. Or just hope for a Wrexham 5 mins 2 goals or 3 goal smash and grab. Its going to take time is saying the next 2 months is likely to be the same football with trail and error so that's half season gone. The cost of season tickets is high and the club's love of profit with not 10% off shirts just helps the narrative the fans are there to make money from and looks like profit first football 2nd.

Russell Martin is the real deal, we have had too many fake possession managers. We could have no manager and just let fans pick team and tactics similar to EA25.

Excellent supporter, I'll give it a miss as save on 3 longer trips is almost a season ticket for leaque 1 next season. Although Saints will still be very expensive. Wanted to do Blackburn as last time there won in cup 1984, huge support and great football. Plenty empty Blackburn seats back then

Exactly, easily summarised so why can the club see that. Or don't they watch the reviews , PowerPoint, read the data stats. File Save As managers trying to emulate Russell Martin.

1 x goal keeper 3 x defender 2 x midfielder 2 x forwards We need players in as not impressed with some of the new players. Unless the club has planned for relegation then don't need any in window.

Our sub have been rubbish, players should have at least 45 min and only 3 subs. If the team are that bad you have to do 5 subs a match we are in wrong half of pyramid. I think he only touched the ball 3 times, or was I totally bored and fell a sleep.

I couldn't belive what I was watching at Bristol City, no highlights video clip of 2 mins,this was the entire performance in real time. How long is it going to take to get this eam playing football
