Charlie Wayman

What's ever right with him? Always nursing an injury even when playing. Surely we can opt out of the "buy" clause in his loan contract. The lad is looking like a long term liability and we can ill afford £20m on a player who is only fit for one match in every four or five.

Jobs for the boys. Bet he's not doing it for free either. What possible value can this be to the club? Amazing that we have enough money for this find of extravagance but none for new players? Is this to appease fans when we reach Day 31 of the transfer window having sold three or four of our only valuable assets but failing to recruit even one new player. Sounds like an unnecessary distraction to me at a time when all our effort should be spent on staying in the Division.

Clashes with another event that we've signed up for so this one gets a miss. Not sure I care that much really after the dire display at the weekend.

OK I'll bite, who is this guy Nixon? Not the one who nearly got himself impeached?

Keep an eye on Will Ferry.... just saying.

Good luck Steven. See you back here one day as manager.

You're like a stuck record mate playing to an audience of one. Cedric played very well yesterday.

Interesting but muddled thinking.

Borderline sexist mate. Try to be fair minded. What about excitable morons like Wright and Dixon?

Meanwhile the U23's beat Stoke 2-0 last night to go top of the PL 2/2 which when you consider the depletion of the U23 squad as a result of Ralph's raids on their youngsters ain't bad at all. Several U18's were picked and looked good enough. Promising indeed.

What!? Are you for real. The player is injured FFS.

Derby will not want to jeopardise their play-off chances so will likely field a weakened (sic: rotation) side. Their reserves v our reserves. As Ralph said, respecting the FA Cup and its traditions... Who wants to lose most?

People having fun? What kind of moron utters drivel like this, ask yourself that!

Why do you suggest that MaCarthy wants to leave? He's been called up for England, he's No 1 at Saints so why on earth do you imagine he'd chuck all that away to sit on a bench somewhere else? What would be the point of him going anywhere except to a top 6 side with guarantees of a first team place and that's not going to happen is it.

So this is where we are now. Are we supposed to rejoice because we held Chelsea to a 0-0 with the high pressing tactic of putting 11 men behind the ball? We are losing touch with even Palace and Brighton now. Only six teams left in the dogfight really. For all Ralph's bombast, I can't see a way out of this mess unless by some miracle we buy a couple of fast wingers of world class in January and that is about as likely as snow in August in Southampton

Yeah but apart from that?

Difficult when everything is missing from Ploddy Prowse's game 'though.

Usual frenetic level of January transfer activity at SMS then? How many in's and out's has that been in the first two days? Uh None!

Contracts or no contracts why can't we just fire some of these useless clowns for failing abysmally to reach the standards of play expected of them when they signed on as any company would. FFS surely there are goals and performance standards implicit and written in any contract. Bugger compensation just kick the useless sods out on their backsides. Sack them in short and get the keys to the first team loo back before they leave.

New Year's Day and the optimism has gone, lose tomorrow and we are back in the bottom three. Three worse teams than ours? I don't think so, Huddersfield maybe but we are no better than the shambles at Fulham & Cardiff and nowhere near Burnley, Newcastle or Brighton. Everton here next, hold onto your hats another drubbing is on the way.

I just hope that Hasenhüttl's team selection had more to do with giving all his squad a run out before the transfer window as part of a structured evaluation process rather than an expression of ego and authority over players by yet another manager with crackpot ideas about how to run a football team. What was on offer on Sunday was an insult to all long suffering fans who turn up in the hope of at least seeing our best team giving it's all in the hope that they might steal something from one of the big boys. Simply appalling.

Sorry lads but I did warn you about Valery. Being chucked in at the deep end is never a good idea and the poor lad is hopelessly out of his depth.

I've watched him a lot in the Junior teams and am still unconvinced. In my opinion Marcus Barnes and Ty Johnson are better prospects with better technical ability, more clinical finishing qualities and every bit as fast as Michael Obefami. In my book he has always been a bit one-dimensional but am open minded as to what he can do under the tuition of a coach that cares about young players.

Collect your hat on the way out and don't leave a phone number

Shush, we don't want anybody else in our secret. If we beat WHU and ManC you can bet he will not be renewing his contract here in 2021.
