Saint Garrett

No surprise at £45 a pop to go to that hole.

Tadic looks a very handy player, but not as good as Lallana - and Pelle is not as good as Ricky IMO. Bertrand is a solid player but not as good as Shaw, and Gardos hasn't yet played but very unlikely to be as good as Lovren who is a top player.

Yup. That's my plan.

I am pal lol

Taider

Is he fit?

Late decision from me then. tempted as never been to Millwall and want to tick it off.

I'm assuming tickets are available at the ground tonight?

Definitely should be in there.

His pass completion was 56% on Saturday, and he won less than half of his arial duels...(5/11). Stats can prove both sides of an argument....!

Lamela is way more technically gifted than Townsend though. Plus he's not a "winger". Think he'll have a good season under Poch.

Poch is a top coach, and if anyone is going to get Spurs competing, it's him. How I miss first have obliteration of opponents!

Not seen any of them post for atleast a week...!

Banter.

Forster; Clyne Fonte Gardos (if fit) Targett; Cork Taider Reed; Long Pelle Isgrove

Wouldn't mind Calum Mcmanaman, also Forestieri has impressed me whenever I've seen him in the NPC.

A goal scorer and a wide player please!

Tbh, I'm pretty sure that if Cortese and Poch had stayed, then so would the majority of our players. Anyway, that argument has been done methinks.

Yet he was inches away from winning us the game today, fine margins....I do agree that Im not sure what his proper position is, he came on out wide a lot last season and he did well out there. I certainly would have started JWP out wide rather than Davis, I think at home we don't need one of those two. Morgan, Wanyama and one of those is probably enough, just out of interest, where does Taider play? Because I originally thought he was an attacking player but surely he would have come on instead of Cork when he came on if he was?

Everyone is willing and wants him to be amazing, he's shown nothing so far, but every saints fan would rather he was amazing than not. Just looks way off the pace and not likely to influence the game. Rickie had some shockers last year also when he couldn't get in the game, but he always caused oppo's problems.

We missed Lallana so much today.

First season in a while. Seems to be very similar to a lot of others hence the drop in attendance.

This.

WBA were crap, we were also crap. It was actually boring watching my beloved Southampton FC. Really worry about us scoring goals this year.

Good analysis. We're relying on someone who has just buggered his knee....not ideal. Just no urgency, no danger, no high pressing like we're used to under Poch, everything just looked very laboured, almost like a pre season friendly.
