Based on what exactly. Are you really a Saints fan? Why so quick to slag off our players when they've been here only for five minutes or so?

In your opinion but not mine. He runs and chases far mor ethan any other player in a Saints shirt.

The fact that we have brought in Azaz pretty much confirms that Fernandes is gone, so it's three from three

A trifle premature?

See what happens without Shoehorn or Armstrong Will. Tidy performance in the end, shows what a couple of well taken open play goals can do for team morale and confidence. Will has earned a couple of weeks grace from us lot as well.

Has anyone managed to decipher the Sky website info to find out if the match will be shown on TV tonight and if so can we watch it on NowTV? It's all gobbledegook to me. Asking for a friend.

So many "if's" but your optimism is surely misplaced? We've had 10 weeks of this transfer window and have failed to shift any of those players or bring in anybody of any significant quality. What on earth makes you think or believe that anything will change for the better in this final week? It won't! It suggests very strongly that SR aren't that interested in Saints plight this season. I wouldn't mind a small wager that SR are close to pulling the plug on Saints, in the meantime raking in the cash from whatever assets they can sell beforehand.

Old Canaries going cheap! Always our yesterday's or tomorrow's, never our here and now's?

Oops! Reply to SW_Saint: His own words! "People say 'oh you need to play this way, or that way...' like the Southampton way or like with Sam Allardyce, the West Ham way. But what is the West Ham way? What is the Southampton way? You got relegated, so obviously there's something that doesn't work in it. Our way now is win, because that's all we have to do."

Will Still appears to be disdainful of systems of play but his alternative looks to be completely haphazard relying on his players to play by their instincts, almost like making it up as they go along. Most will have recent memories of Russball deeply engrained into their psyche so it's not surprising they revert to that in the absence of anything better being taught them. We don't have a team full of Messi's and Salah's who maybe could be left to innovate and get on with it Will. I have not been impressed at all by what you have served up so far, not quite as incoherent as Sunday League kick and rush but not that much better either. Can anybody be surprised that we have gone behind in all four matches played? In my view the players might actually prefer a system of play that they can relate to, learn and adopt. @sortitoutWillfhs

I'm not that optimistic. In his pre match presser he said that the silly defensive errors leading to give-away goals were easy to eliminate through (his) better coaching and awareness. There was't much evidence of progress in that direction yesterday. Some players let us down badly yesterday, notably Fernandes who cannot be statisfied with that performance, his heart just was't in it. Manning especially infuriates me, rinse and repeat all afternoon. This week will be telling, if the club fail to get the right people in to improve us fans are in for a very disappointing season; that's a big "if" based on who they've brought in so far in this window. No way Saints will be going up with this squad of unimaginative journeymen.

link please

Not his only blind spot though is it, he also keeps picking Shoehorn. Not sure even Willy Will can carry two passengers. No Sugar on the bench, does this mean he is defo off?

They're going down, no question. Fernandes would be mad to go there. We'll wave as they pass by in the other direction

Now we know why we can't move out any of our players. Not one Saints fan on their forum had a good word to say about any of them.

Yes but can they do it on a warm and dry, sunny afternoon in Southampton!

What a horrible thing to say about anybody. Reflects badly on you. Shameful!

I am cautiosly pessimistic. If we lose our 'star' players next week, unlikley to be strong enough to sustain a challenge at the top. A couple of defeats can deflate Still's balloon quickly and then it will be a struggle. The remaining squad is probably only good enough for 14th especially if a few key players get injured.

It's not really Aribo's fault if nobody comes in for him with a sensible bid so why the need to punish him for not leaving?

Would be Ironic though if Palace got relegated and we went up.

I wonder if we could make a crafty bid for Kyle Walker Peters

Top of the league though so must be doing something right? I've no wish to pre-empt Wade's in depth forecast but this will be so one sided it will be embarrassing. We'll beat the cracked pots 3-0

You mean he didn't kick our man in the cajones after he had floored him?
