Saint Garrett

Vokins has come back, couldn't get in the Woking team. Not really sure where his career goes from here.

However you can just go onto this website and buy tickets in the home end...! https://www.livefootballtickets.com/fixtures/southampton-v-newcastle-united-tickets-efl-cup.html

Personally i'd go with the following: ---------------Bazunu------------------ Lyanco-----DCC---Salisu--------KWP ---------Lavia--------Diallo----------- -Elyounoussi---JWP--------Armstrong --------------Adams------------- Id be relatively happy if any of Edozie, Djenepo or Orsic (if hes ready) start. Nice to have some options rather than just trying to find 11 that won't be shite. Confidence plays such a big part.

Guess that means they’ll postpone the game then.

They’re a decent side now, and it will be a tough game, but we’re coming off the back of 3 wins and confidence is growing. Similar team for me and hopefully we can nick a win and get off the bottom. You look at where Forest are now, it hasn’t taken that much.

I thought it had already come in. You can only have a certain amount of players out on loan. So the days of Chelsea having 40-50 players out on loan are long gone. These structured deals with buy backs seem to be the way forward these days.

Apparently that’s to get around FFP rules. They amortise the cost over 8 years.

That money for him looks mental tbh. I’m hoping we’ll go after someone else, rather than being part of this bidding war.

Looking at the table this game seems to be a bit do or die really. If we can manage to get a win it is game on for the rest of the season.

Both fixtures are confirmed as Tuesday. Booked flights from Heathrow, £140 so not so bad really.

Normally it alternates so highly likely to be weds

From who? The club? My guess is that it will be Tues 24th and Weds 1st

I saw a few tweets from the french media, basically saying that every January there is a forward that plays in Ligue 1 that half the premier league are after, and this year it's Moffi. Also said the money being discussed is way more than what it should be but it's being pushed up by a bidding war essentially. I can't see us signing him if everyone else is involved, when did we last win a transfer race like this ?

More like Meow Felix

Absolutely gutted for him. Fingers crossed he can be back in contention for pre season. I'll try do some digging and see whats happened.

Ah yes! of course. Given he basically went for bugger all, I would expect us to have some kind of kickback even if its % of profit or something. Probably minimal regardless.

Didn't he just go from us to Nice?

Just what I was told.

It was instead of.

I think the discontent has largely come from The original underwhelming appointment The really woeful 5 at the back performance against Lincoln to then go to 4 at the back and score twice, and then refer back to 5 at the back against Brighton We were at our best in the Brighton game when we went to a 4 at the back, and atrocious long ball shite for the rest of it. they completely outclassed us and we didnt compete. Fulham we started 5 at the back and we were appalling. We then went to a 4 at the back, got it back to 1-1, were on top, then he went to a 5 and we conceded. We then played Forest which was one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a team, and only changed to a back 4 with 5 minutes to go, and played apparently 80 long balls to their centre backs At this point there was absolutely nothing to be positive about because he wasn't learning at all and was just doing the same thing, with a team of players who seemed to have no idea at all what they were meant to do. We then go to Palace and change up how we play, played 4 at the back, and started playing with it on the floor (apparently JWP had words with him after the Forest defeat, and there was a big bust up at the training ground the day before the palace game) JWP took the team talk at HT against Palace Then we go 4 at the back against Man City, and the players suddenly look completely on board and giving their all. I think it was fully justified for the fans to have a go at Jones up until the Palace game, as there was nothing to suggest he had any idea what he was doing. That City performance was nothing short of sensational, and he deserves full credit for that. If we can go to Everton and play like a proper football team at this level, and win, then I think all will be forgotten and we all have to move forward. If we go there, set up 5 at the back and play long ball for the best part of the game and don't change it, then he deserves pelters.

I think the main issue under Ralph was squad depth, and the tactical change after we would be awful second half because we were knackered and ended up throwing leads away. We then curbed the high press a bit to help us to be able to get through a full 90 mins, but it took our effectiveness away. There is no doubt that that performance last night was up there with some of the best under Ralph. Just makes you wonder what the absolute clusterfuck against Forest was all about when we were the opposite in pretty much every way.

Hopefully we got a sell on %

Yup, fuck that.

Do we know which day the away game is on yet? Been keeping an eye on flights and they are pricey to say the least. Might have to be a slog of a drive…!

Alex Crook (yes I know) just said on talkSHITE we’re after 3 more, a total of 5 including Orsic and Alcaraz… Will be interesting next few weeks for sure…
