Saint Garrett

Gaston to knock us out after we sell him this Jan. Barry Sanchez and Alpine having a go at Cortese wondering why the **** we sold him.

Hopefully Demichelis plays...not convinced by him.

Sure Davis will play, Poch likes him and he suits our system. He played well on Weds too, hes just not someone to break a team down.

Yeah that was my point! You've done pretty well, and need it to carry on !! Next 6 look awful as a set of fixtures with all our players injured.

I very much appreciate your optimism...can't say I share it though!

Gotta hope we get results out of the next two !!

Fonte struggling too. Maybe Hooiveld and Lovren at the back - wouldn't play Yoshida again after last game. So thats Boruc, Davis, Clyne, Fonte, Fox, Wanyama, Schneiderlin all missing from our defensive positions.....Noonoe will expect us to not lose tomorrow so might as well just get out there and have a go at them.

Oh brilliant. Going to be a very tough few weeks.

Gives me a bit more hope.... Gazza; Chambers Fonte Lovren Shaw; Cork Morgan; Lallana JRod Davis; Osvaldo Still not an awful team by any stretch.

Send it back to them. Our club is sh!t at these things sometimes.

Can't see them having one of them this week!

Lots of positives, but also still a long way to go. We've played some brilliant football at times this season, and some real dogged defensive displays. But we just don't have the strength in depth. Are teams working us out? Maybe....but on another night we would have won 3-0 last night and said it was a great performance. Just a bit of a freak result due to poor defending. The back centre 5 (Boruc, Lovren, Fonte, Wanyama and Morgan) are so so impoortant to how we play. Without one or two of these, we're really struggling as the backup is just not good enough to step in. It's not really changed since the start of the season attacking wise - we haven't been potent up front at all all season - but we'd still get a 0-0 or nick a 1-0. Now we've started letting in goals, and we're losing games. Need to get back on it and get our players fit.

Barry Sanchez - don't need to explain why.

Martinez is a top manager. Fair play to him. Not Saints related though - and they've used the loan system to their benefit. Be interesting to see what happens next season. They also have some cracking players of their own though.

It is worrying and we could easily lose the next 6 too. (Not that I think we will) Man City Newcastle Spurs Cardiff Everton Chelsea

BS spouting BS. Standard.

A loss. Starting to show our lack of squad depth. Bring Fonte back in though. Gazza; Clyne/Chambers Fonte Lovren Shaw; Morgan/JWP Wanyama/Cork; Davis JRod Lallana; Osvaldo Injuries permitting....

Nope, as thought he was decent tonight.

Thought he did pretty well for someone who came back in the side.

It's no different to the start of the season, just now we're conceding crap goals. 8 goals conceded in 3 games is not good enough. On another day we would have won 2-0 tonight and maybe nicked a point or more at Arsenal or Chelsea.

Anyone see what happened? couldn't see from where I was....

COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!!!!!!

What a strange thread.

@SouthamptonFC: Mauricio Pochettino says the majority of #SaintsFC's players will be fit by next week: http://t.co/44uEIJDMck http://t.co/KVDrThMDP1 @SouthamptonFC: Pochettino: "By next week we will have 90, 95 per cent of the squad fully-fit." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "Guly do Prado and Artur Boruc have longer-term injuries, so it may take a bit longer to get these players back." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP on @PauloGazza25: "We have full confidence in him. We're really happy with the work that he's been doing ever since I arrived." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP on Gazzaniga: "We do think he's a better goalkeeper [than last year] - he's progressed and he's learnt a lot." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP on Gazzaniga: "He, like the rest of the the squad, has the full trust of the manager. We're very happy with him." #saintsfc

Chuffed for them. And drags WHU back into it after a good win vs Fulham at the weekend. Palace play Cardiff at home on Saturday - could draw level on points with them and West Ham on Sat.
