YES!!!!

Glad of the win. Hope RB coming off was a precaution. Any feedback from people who saw the game - as opposed to hearing Dave Merrington's view of it?

Wouldn't work in chrome, but working in Safari. Try another browser?

Great news! Can't wait to see him in action v Brighton

I'll take that all day long

A lively start. Come on Saints!

So you were ringing alarm bells about relegation the years we finished 7th, 6th and 8th out of 20? Nuff said!

I agree. After 3 goals in 2 games surely he has to start?

This. The kind of player that's happy to join a team in the relegation zone is not the sort of player we want!

Excellent posts - a rarity on this forum at the moment... I was there too and Shroppie describes the atmosphere accurately. glengarryleads sums up my feelings perfectly. Spot on both of you.

Yes! Looking forward to lots more Saints goals right in front of us this half[emoji3] Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

I'm with you lot. Hoping I see Long and Gabbi start, Saints score 3 and restore some pride..

This. I hope we play our strongest side. It's a better opportunity than training or a friendly to give players a run out and see what they can do.

Disappointing. Depressing even, but I'm not resigning myself to relegation just yet with 16 matches still to play. It's going to be a painful ride either way....... Going to first game this season on Saturday, and dreading it now

Because it's what the market will bear, and Southampton is an affluent part of the country? Look at our history. then look at our trophy cabinet. We are a small club.

Blimey! what a difference one good performance makes - even Dalek is sound more optimistic. Don't care if it's VVD finally going, Kelvin inspiring the players, MoPo giving more players a chance to prove themselves or my 1 point from 6 prediction, let's take this into the Palace game and give them a drubbing Please? Come on you Saints!!!

The same "reputation" that you and you and a few other OTT posters on here gave him?As you did to Puel? And to Koeman?

Well said. I'd like to be the second to wish him all the best and hope it goes well for us.

I hope to God that PEH, Gabbi and Boufal start.

I hope it works out for him just like it has for Shaw and Schneiderlin. Has Erick Black been replaced yet?

Yes, I'm with GL and the other professinal pundits and ex-players on this. Reckless play yes, trying to flick the ball out of his hands. deliberate kick in the face? No. Claiming he must have done it deliberately cos he looks mean, and has a beard and tats is just sad.

Very disappointing We looked awful at the start and Tadic and Redmond were as bad as they've ever been while Davis, Lemina and Yoshi didn't cover themselves in glory. Hoedt, Targett, JWP, Charlie and Forster did well, in what seemed an odd starting 11. Such fine margins - Yoshi's header hitting the goalie head after the post was such a fluke......on any other day that would have gone in off the keeper, and we would have the win. I can see us getting 1 point [more would be nice] out of the next two games, and it will depend on how badly others do as to whether we stay safe. Realistically the manager isn't going anywhere and there aren't any better options. Maybe a new coach can make a difference?

Well we started well against Leicester and look what happened there. Maybe this cringe-inducing start will lead to a win? Worst start I can remember

Yes this really winds me up. Why do they do that? Often there's space in front of them and no pressure, but they choose to play the sideways or backwards pass, instead of driving forwards with the ball. Boufal is the only exception to this.
