Give it to Ron

According to MLT there were 150 applications so I’m sure there were some in that lot and better than the abysmal lot we have had in last 2 years.

Simple a decent proven target man to replace Adams which we didn’t do and it cost Still his job. None of those you mentioned are that type of striker . Spors was responsible for recruitment it was clearly stated why are you ignoring that? As for Tonda knowing Barnaby well and trusting that’s some stretch given he didn’t join until end of July!!! So you don’t think we need a forward to be a target man in January?

Who said I was moaning? I just said it seemed odd that both Sesay and Matsuski who both had decent pre -seasons were left out for someone untried and played above them might help you actually read what’s written

??? Gambling on his fitness was down to the DOF and recruiting isn’t it? it was made clear who is in charge at FF or are you ignoring that? Do you not agree that the failure to recruit a proven CF is costing us and probably Still his job? A manager recruited by Spors?

But gambling on a 6m German 2 plus Stewart is down to him that is a massive clusterfuck of a decision. Im not certain about dressing room but I would love to know what Matsuaki and Sesay have done wrong so much we risk playing an untried 18/19 year old ahead of them…..and Aribo!

Spors performance is a worry for me and said as much after the fans forum - because it sounded like we were giving him way too much authority and reliance on his recruitment. So far it’s 50/50 because Scienza, Fellows and Jansen are good. But as you said Stephens 3 year deal and no keeper or Cf really irritates me.

Roeslav is a full back not a wing back that’s why not getting best from him. Looking back at QPR when under cosh and he played there was very good

Jury out on Fellows that’s bloody harsh he was excellent on Saturday it’s not his fault the manager has been playing him in wrong position and he was still one of best performers for me!

It’s a joke of a site Footyinsider is as much use as a third nostril

Completely irrational but my big concern with GON is the game in January- I still have that twitchy bastard thumbs up to Mandaric in my head 4-1 debacle

Where has the Viera thing come from is that just wishful thinking or managers available? Wasnt there a report we were looking at Germany for next manager?

Christ I think totally the opposite I think jander has been decent. Reads it and nullifies attacks keeps it simple and ticking over. Whereas Downes is nowhere near his level before but I wonder if that’s caused by illnesses and injuries. opinions 🙂

One very good defensive header plus lots of nearly getting a touch…why bring him on they ask…..because we don’t have anyone else and this wasn’t a game for young Nick. He tried a bit harder for me but still his work rate at times not making the angle for a pass frustrates. We have to live with it until January .

We just lost 3 on bounce confidence is very low we need to battle and our quality will shine through. It was a tough watch but we stuck at it as usual being in ground wasn’t as informative as on here . Whether you like THB, Wood and Stephens they stood up tonight . no pop at you Thripp just read the match thread clueless twats sat on computers not going And seeing how hard we fought tonight.

On the coach back Christ that last 20 was hard but the 3 centre halves won so many headers. The togetherness at the final whistle was so good to see at least a bit of fight in team. Subs made us weaker but we know that a fit Romeu in centre guiding and cajoling we will be better. Get Leo and Fellows 20 yards up pitch we will be better go 4/4 f king 2 and put pressure on them rather than us we will be fine until January when we get big striker to link it

Crafting barrels=Cooper but he is at Brondby

Played 30+ games last season and the Championship is a league at least lower. 34 isn’t that old Welbeck still going strong and papers want him for England ! Milner is 41 still getting game time at Brighton

Yes when I saw the subs

Would seriously consider it if they re-appoint Martin. I dislike the smarmy prick so much and his football style bores me to tears. After Rangers debacle he won’t change a thing and blame their mentality not his.

We haven’t looked like winning one so he will be a miracle worker if he does

Did you realistically expect us to be 20th under him?

Exactly yet some want him back unbelievable! Have they forgotten what it was like at that Spurs game? Why are they ignoring what happened at Rangers? The players got Mondays off and couldn’t run 100 yards without collapsing on knees! Yet some want back …..madness!

You do realise who is doing the appointment? You have more faith than me! Although would have him over Lego head rolling out the Rangers mentality line here

He is mates with Bristol manager

Hope you are right and not a contender as stated - 🚨 BREAKING: Southampton part ways with manager Will Still. 33yo appointed in May on 3yr contract but goes after 4 wins in 16 games. U21s head coach Tonda Eckert takes over as interim + contender in #SaintsFC search for permanent replacement @TheAthleticFC
