Surprisingly his stats show he is 6'2" tall so not really that small.

It's a low bar but too high for the short Gavin Bazunu.

So he's like the kid at school who was no good as an outfield player so always got stuck in goal even though he was hopeless there as well.

When one of the main voices at SR is snake oil's best ever salesman Rasmus Ankersen it is hardly surprising that they have made a complete hash of running our football team.

Well of course they will make promotion their aim but I just think the rush to get back to PL at all costs is misplaced. I understand all the stuff about parachute payments and the risk of becoming a club that stagnates in the Championship over time but we are in total reset mode and need time to build something sustainable.

Can't be arsed to listen to the views of two Hull City fans for 58 minutes so I'll swerve this.

We don't have to get promoted this season and it would probably be a blessing in disguise if we don't. The Premier league is great but you need to be ready for it. Maybe a 2-3 year plan to build a side and get there is a better bet for us - I'm not desperate to get back there immediately after last season's embarrassing debacle. Be careful what you wish for. Still may or may not prove to be a good manager for us but he should be given at least another 10 games and this clamour for an instant return to the big league isn't helping.

Not excuses just pointing out genuine facts. How many players settle in at new clubs from their first game? Answer, very few and most take a number of games to get up to speed - we have 5-6 new players Will Still is trying to integrate into new systems. I'm not saying he'll definitely get it right but he needs to be given a reasonable amount of time.

Yeah, all very obvious mistakes yet this bunch of charlatans never seem to learn a lesson.

Think he might revert to 3 at the back with wing backs that don't get forward for this one.

I think he's right footed but can play on the left?

Lack of the awareness of danger and ball watching are just two of the worst faults that can rightly be levelled at Captain Jack. Even when he is not making glaring errors his all round game as a defender causes us lots of problems. High time he was binned along with the calamity that is Bazunu. Take this pair out and also THB after his performance yesterday and we'd probably be a lot more solid at the back - time Will started selecting our best players not those who have traditionally played...we are allowed to drop them and now is the time.

I love the way Slot says 'Isaac has not trained much and McCallister has been missing, I could go on and on' He's got it really hard with such a small squad and so little quality 🙂

Blimey, we're going back to lumping it long to the big guy up front - wonder what will happen to Russball when even his mate Pep is ditching playing out from the back. Lump it long, win the second ball and swarm forward in numbers is the way forward - shame we don't have a big strong centre forward at the club.

One of our manager's will spot his glaring weaknesses soon surely.

I don't see the desperation to make the play-offs never mind top two as we wouldn't be ready to try again in the PL and it would likely be another disastrous season ahead. To me we need a gradual reset and a little time to build a good side with good habits which is why I am prepared to give Will Still more time plus the new players also need time to find their feet which always happens when moving to new clubs - it's just not new team mates and new style of football it also involves relocating etc etc. However, if there are no signs of progress after another 10 games then questions will have to be asked and decisions made.

His performance yesterday ranks among the worst I've ever seen by a Southampton centre half - and there have been some bad ones. Roy needs to have a firm word in his future son-in law's ear about being combatant, committed and putting your body on the line for the cause.

Tells us all we need to know about Baz.

Have you considered Mr Hockey might have thrown the envelope down in disgust at the end of the game?

Yeah, just watched it again and I'm still convinced the scorer is offside the moment the ball is headed.

Better not watch another game until he's left the club then.

Look at the highlights. I've watched it a few times and freeze framed the moment their guy heads the ball and the scorer is clearly in an offside position - it's not even marginal.

Sink or swim time 🙂

Macca Jelert Wood Quarshie Manning Charles Matsuki Robinson Aribo Edozie Stewart Probably get hammered but let's give these guys some game time and see if any of them do enough to deserve a spot in the side against Boro - if the two centre backs can't better THB's performance yesterday they may as well give up the game.

Maybe time to give them their chance against Liverpool - let's see what they have to offer. I imagine we might see these two plus McCarthy, Edwards or Wood, Quarshie, Robinson, Matsuki and Stewart.
