Cheers all. Merry hijacked, Pagan winter festival thingy.

In the past it has been hard to see what his best position is..... now it's even harder to see how he could fit in anywhere. Time for him to move on I think.

Good stat from the commentator...... We've scored 3 goals in back to back games under Ralph.... ...we never scored 3 goals in a game under Hughes.

YES!!!!! Obi. Go on son. Good lad.

We're not as intense and assertive as we were first half. Test for us and Ralph here......

****. Goal from nothing..... and my stream is well behind!

Great save McCarthy. First bit of shakiness at the back for us today.

And got an assist.

Appreciate the insight as always. A shame... he looked such a good purchase in his early days with us, but it's never kicked on for him. Wonder what we'd get? 10-12M?

Better than Hoedt?

Expected an improvement, never expected that. Brilliant. Brilliant. The passion shown by the players and manager at the final whistle: fantastic. Feels like "our Southampton" is back.

Get it done Les!

#pathway Glad we're back doing this.

Very good post. We need to snap out of the mundane attitude that has gripped the club for the past few seasons. I remember a comment from Puels season where apparently players were frustrated about standards slipping.... Bertie if I recall correctly. Time to reset.

Yep. And I for one believe we will stay up.

The squad is about as good as last season. We have a FAR better manager. Who has some time to assess before the January window. We don't have Les, being Les. We have more time to escape than last season. The squad lacks confidence..... but that is a state: it's not an unchangeable fact. We will stay up, and do so fairly comfortably.

Pele. His debut: rabbit in headlights.

Dave Grohl.

Pretty sure whatever he is saying starts with an 'F'.... And is that JWP lacking focus and struggling to find his place with the rest of the photo?

He made an interesting point about how his approach requires serious time on the training field to instill, and how we have a lot of games over Christmas, so not so much time to spend training. So it will be interesting to see how quickly and in what areas he changes the team in the short term. Will it be more evolution or revolution in approach to games? Poch made some seemingly major changes quite quickly..... I wonder if it is possible for him to do the same? Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds.

A man with a plan. Very clear. Gonna be tough on the players I think.

He comes across very well.

Doh! How did I miss that?!

Um..... where's Romeu? Is he injured/suspended?

The gift that keeps on giving!
