Give it to Ron

Do you think we will replicate last seasons run in? I am not advocating the sack just a change in style, play and tactics. He needs backing in this window to do that but not easy in January. Cut out rotation and only make changes where necessary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The semi final was only achieved against a shocking Palace side, a worldly Boufal goal in a game of dross and Arsenal juniors so let's see if we can do better than last season 6-1 hammering before lauding that. The Europa campaign was a shambles and disgrace to throw away the start we had. I agree this squad is poor and the bonus has been McQueen and Sims and praise Puel for that and losing Pied and Austin hasn't helped plus abysmal form of Forster,Long and Jayrod . It was about 5 years before I saw us win away :-) I have seen some dross in 50+ years and we have been spoilt in last few years but to me we are underachieving and I think that's the rotation and tactics of Puel and staff.

So last night after leaving Giddy Bridge nipped into Tescos to get lottery. In there was the beggar who sits outside in Saints hat he had dropped his bottle of JD and pulled out a £20 note buying another one he expected Tescos to give half price because he dropped it outside their store.

Jamie Carragher hasn't had to sit and watch the dross served up versus Be'er Sheva, Prague, Hull, Palace, Boro, Spurs and WBA second halves from a fans point of view. Puel may look good on the outside because of what he has had to contend with but honestly are you enjoying our play? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To one striker and if lucky a midfielder 20 yards away because we don't want to be caught on the break! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don't blame Puel for that performance? Who picked that team? Whose motivating them? Whose tactics mean we have one in the box 80% of a game? Can you name me any successful side that changes 3 of its back 4 regularly? So Romeu and VVD can play every game but Bertrand and Cedric international players can't? Players take the responsibility on the pitch yes but the rest is down to the management to give us a chance if winning we had 1 shot on target! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Simunovic looks more Jos than Virgil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But you got relegated last season?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fine I have no problem with that its very much me too however, I don't see the balance in your posts - I must look harder :-). We all want to win and play great football, yes we may be 8th but IMO we could be top 6 and that why I am frustrated watching that poor display last night coupled with Hull, Be'er Shiva, Palace, Prague, it won't need much to put it right but similarly we could slip down to 10-14th with a few bad results.

Or appoint you next time we need a PR guru...Comical Ali was modelled on you - try a balanced view every now and then it works better rather than your blinkered everything is rosy approach. Forums like this are for people to vent spleen and air their frustration - last night was not an isolated case was it? Just maybe we could be doing better?

Do you think we are getting the best out of Boufal out wide? Does Redmond deserve a start over Long...how does Long rediscover any form sat on his arse? Can we play a midfield trio that 2 can't tackle and one can only take free kicks and corners? Do we have to alienate the striker every game? Answer to those questions is change the formation to 4-2-3-1 for a few games and IMO Puel will see better performances is he willing to change though? That is not rotation - last night we changed 3 subs - all played exactly the same position as those that came off.....

Its not so much the rotation WC its the formation I have issues with and the reluctance to change during a game or at half time - Bournemouth and Davis being the exception. Spurs flexible 4-2-3-1 5 man midfield battered our 3 with Davis/JWP hardly winning a tackle. How can a team get used to each other if constantly changing? Rotation has its place but we need more flexibility in formation not rigid 4-3-3

Was that you riding the bike up Shirley High Street last night.....bowler hat, face paint, Saints onesie?

There is no such thing as reliable gossip....its either true or bull**** agents touting players about

Get a grip ....we get battered for 25 minutes and we send out same team same tactics!!! WTF did we think we would do we were outnumbered in the middle. Should have put Hojberg on at half time and put Boufal in the hole. Redmond was poor all night and JWP only contributed free kicks and bottled so many challenges it was atrocious. The score didn't flatter at all and we only got going when they missed penalty. We are ok against poor sides but when we play top sides get overrun because 4-3-3 gets battered by their midfield 4-2-3-1 if we didn't have energy Claude why didn't you change it?

Well if you were by the Bargate on Christmas week at 7pm you would have seen that a silver ladder was handy :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Old Terminus is much closer than St Denys WC if you use Ocean Village as a distance guide its a straight line track less than half a mile I would say. As others have said its irrelevant and no goer anyway as why would anyone build it for such short use although it would ease the stress on the footbridge after a game which is really bad.

Well there used to be one when I was a lad because I used to use it regularly - although that was days of steam engines! I am not sure why we need a station more of a stop - similar to Falmer for Brighton stadium have - just somewhere to turn the trains.

So Virgil misses 2 sitters we can't hit a cows arse amongst the rest of the team yet it's Romeu fault for one pass? Come on that's ridiculous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes how many seasons has he played in the Prem? How many goals did he score last season to get us into top 6 To add he has played for 4 teams in the Prem so yes in my eyes he is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

6m for a proven Prem striker? Who could we buy for 6m you would swap for? Yes he has had an injury hit season but think your valuation is too low. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He looked quite happy stocking up for Christmas last night in Costco. Lovely family. Was funny watching rumour go round store he was there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not better than Romeu in my eyes.

Simunovic from Celtic. Semedo or try a punt on Ake Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
