Don't particularly agree with those who make out that RK was honest and upfront in this interview ! Yes, he admitted that mistakes were made and we had a very poor season ( kinda difficult to defend the indefensible really !) He prattles on about communication but he himself is not good at it, ie. his jargonistic claptrap does not allow people to know where they stand and his refusal to answer direct questions, for me, shows weakness, not strength ! Frankly, Mark Hughes is a better communicator than he is ! Big Adam basically asked the right questions but I reckon he could have pushed a bit more on the owners intentions/plans and perhaps asked if we would ever get to see or hear from them ! As always, we are left 'reading between the lines' and on that score I reckon that Les may not be here for long but perhaps I'm being overly optimistic !

Lots of talk about us defending at all costs but remember that for every goal we score Swansea’s task becomes much harder ! Without going ‘gung ho’ I reckon we should concentrate one bagging a couple regardless of how many they might put past us ! Easier said than done, I accept, but it might just be a better approach than sitting deep and letting them come at us !! COYS

Saints will beat Man City

I don’t buy that one iota ! Hughes is his own man and won’t take any sh”t from the likes of Boufal ! Listen to the player interviews and you will clearly understand who is calling the shots right now !

Just watched Cresswell go well over the top on McTominay ! Very clear yellow at the very least but not given ! The ref is Jon Moss, same guy who clearly deemed Yoshida’s challenge (1st yellow) as being worse ! Inconsistency rules, I’m afraid - or maybe just incompetence!

Refreshing to listen to someone you actually understand what he is on about ! I’m sure that the players see it the same way and know what is required of them, especially compared to both Puel and Pellegrino who turned gibberish into a fine art

Clearly the players have reacted positively to Hughes’ style of management (well, apart from Boufal) ! It would be a travesty if he doesn’t get the job with a 2 or 3 year contract IMO ! Personally I don’t want another foreign manager who talks a load of sh!t and nobody can connect with !

In some ways I'm glad that we are playing away as home fans get very nervous in these situations and it can easily transmit to the players ! Swansea have to take the game to us and if they don't get early rewards the pressure might well get to them, let's hope so anyway ! If we are still in it late on then Long/Redmond will definitely unsettle them ! Obviously I have no idea how it will all pan out but we do have a good chance ! COYS

Do we also assume that Mike Dean will be taking a good look at himself after bottling the decision to send off Alonso ? Oh and the ref who missed the Watford handball in the last minute ? I guess we can’t blame him either??

I’m sure that Moss made a number of ‘questionable’ decisions in this match but allowing them to quickly take a free kick from the wrong place was not questionable, it was incompetent !

Don’t get your logic ? If he does not give a free kick to them (which it wasn’t) then we have possession in their half instead of the other way around ! His Lino was right next to the alleged foul and never gave it yet Moss decided from a distance to award it and then allow them to take it from the wrong place ! All this in the last minute when we could have run the clock down ! So it was a problem to us and that is down to an incompetent referee !

Got to go ‘**** or bust’ in 2nd half, I don’t agree that a point is good enough!

Well that’s them in the third division for yet another year ! Lost to the mighty (and already relegated) Bury ! Oh dear, how sad !

May we assume that you have not seen a Saints match all season ??

2/10

Always seen him as a ‘show pony’ who is much more interested in himself than the team ! Absolutely sure that he won’t be here next season in the Championship!

I’ll be reading his book, looking forward to it’s release !!

Even managed to spell 'Liebherr' wrongly !

I think our best prospect (albeit slim) is to finish above Stoke and Swansea ! Chances of catching the rest is pretty remote IMO !

Never thought I’d cheer an Andy Carroll goal ✅

Well and truly fecked now.....

He played well today, Worked hard and was up for it during the game. Don’t see the problem TBF !

My brother is a Leicester ST holder and reckons that the natives have turned against Claude mainly because of his brand of 'sterile' football ! The sideways and backwards, possession game is not what they are used to up there and it does not seem to fit with the likes of Mahrez and Vardy ! Apparently at their last home game (1-2 loss to newcastle) there were calls for his head and boos at the end ! Sound familiar ???

Would have thought that Bednarek is next in line as replacement CB ! Not saying that he’ll change our fortunes but it would save others being played out of position !

When Celtic won the European cup in 1967 every player was born within 12 miles of Glasgow city centre ! Those were the days, eh ?
