die Mannyschaft

New manager and 8 new players jn Jan window

What if we play 10 defenders next game!!

1-1 that's better I almost thought Saints had improved and were going to defend solid and organised.

Don't know why we got him

Why take Saints best players off. Crazy

As expected exP

Any one watching game are Saints better than v Bristol City?

Come on Saints let's have 2nd goal

At Eastleigh v Morecombe. Having season tickets for Saints and Eastleigh I get to see computer data football and proper football. I think half Eastleigh are Saints fans, plus few Saints stewards allways here.

Saints have attempted to buy the Championship this season and failing .

Agree have to win today as running out of easy teams to beat.

For those who understand today's football tactics failed to score at home plus conversion rate is interesting

And even if the game is as boring as bbc news our xG will be fantastic.

Its was very odd watching that game. If we play well then it only lasts for chunks of the game. Why can Saints play all 97 mins the same way if its successful. Got to change for no reason and keep reverting to slow defence football. No urgency vs sideways vs attacking.

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.
