This was quite insightful in the Echo https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/opinion/24980768.rohl-southamptons-top-target-new-manager/

Shortage of games in March might save us from that , (earliest being calendar date or matches played?)

Hope Juric is watching their game v PSG closely tonight , look for their weaknesses, hopefully a PSG win so Liverpool need to save everything for the 2nd leg next Tuesday

It has everything doesn't it Cup night drama under the lights ✅️ The Dell at its best packed out, great following midweek from Bolton ✅️ Classic commentary, can't remember his name but very familiar ✅️ Top admiral kit ✅️ On the pitch bounce around goal celebrating from the lower West ✅️ Should have bloody beaten Norwich in the quarters we still owe them for that

I'm hoping we'll have enough turnover of players that the negative losing mentality won't be such a weight around our shoulders. Players returning from loans like Edwards, Edozie, Charles and perhaps A. Armstrong will have spent enough time away from the club combined with a couple of new signings and a few loans it should feel like a fresh start again without too much "scar tissue" , a few positive results will be enough to get fans back on side so a good start will be important

One of the best FA Cup nights at The Dell, magic, great memories, it was same season we got to Wembley in ZDS, it wasn't *all* bad under Branfoot

He's down the pecking order behind another ex-Saints legend Dan Nlundulu

I dread to think how much has been spent on match tickets and travel going away this season, crazy really

Also, at least we're not the only team making a mess of things

It will all depend on recruitment, get that right , especially some good loan signings, and it could be an enjoyable season.

Agree, top flight pretty much a closed shop , makes championship lack competitiveness

Feels that way to me, initial boost in interest after lionesses won the Euros, England ladies got good crowds at St Mary's giving them something to build on but it's never really taken off. Main thing is beating the skates later this month

I can predict now our bunch of losers melt at fratton and we lose there, also predict Ruben Selles Hull will beat us, plus chance Charlton will come up from league one, if that happens I'll put my house and life savings on Nathan Jones beating us

It's a bit of a collectors item though as not many were produced? I think the trip to Bucharest was iconic , the shirt worn not so much

It's a shame as Gao was very passionate about Saints and his daughter Nelly had struck up a lovely friendship with Kat.

Need someone with good connections to play the loan market well

Liverpool look excellent, fair play, however discussing fixtures clearly PSG over two legs and league cup final a week after our game will be priority now they are so far ahead in the league , title is done

Top man is Nigel

I'd like to see that Lawrie Macmenemy given the job til end of season , he'd sort them out

Plymouth beat them, why shouldn't we

Just read about that, got to laugh you really do , I remember going.there twice 1991/92 season, think 7k at ZDS cup game and 9k crowd at league game

He's a local lad but 'fan' might be stretching it a bit, if anything he's a Sholing fan
