Tadic was very good when Pelle and Mane were here. I think he needs confidence, an arm round the shoulder and better options ahead of him.

I feel a bit sorry for him actually. He didn't ask for that pricetag. Damn though. Even Ali Dia had a shot!

Our fans sounded great today. Did us proud. Safe trip back guys!

Nice touch from the players heading over to the fans. Relief and smiles all round. We can build on this.

Good to see how many were forward for that break.

Good goal.

Good save that.

Good movement and forward pass there. Nice.

Redmond coming on. But....but.... aren't we meant to sit back now?

Look at the relief. Beautiful. Now let's have 3.

It's coming.

Good voice Saints fans!

A long way from being a £19m player!

I do wonder about our general fitness. We don't look sharp at all.

Good game to learn from this is. Glad we've got this one before any league matches.

Looking a little better going forwards.

Testing moments these.

Already more forward passed into the box than we've seen in a while.

I like that. We do have a slight lack of pace in the side...however Gabbi is quick off the mark and clever with his movement, and Boufal has a bit of pace with the ball at his feet, so should be okay. And 2 strikers! Hell yeah (no wonder Gabbi is smiling in that picture!!!) If we can get the midfield closer to the front two, with Gabbis movement playing off Carrillo, and assuming the rest of the team have been reminded how to pass forwards, we might see an actual goal or two.

Safe trip to all you guys heading up.

Exactly. No-one has thanked MoPe for his positive contribution to their development, or wished him well. The silence is extremely telling.

Jay-Rod scores against Bournemouth!

I have a good feeling about Hughes in the short term. Feels a bit like Strachan to me. The new style of communication and apparent honesty seems to have resonated with the fans....hopefully it will do so with the players. If he can instill some basic discipline and a more positive attitude to games then we've got a very good chance now. Really looking forward to seeing how we set up and play against Wigan.

Has anyone yet posed the "has he signed yet" question? If so, can I be the first with "What's taking so long, typical for Les to cock it up at the last minute."

Must be because the liked him SO much. Because they did, we were told this.
