Could be one point behind them by Wednesday....

If we don't go up we will inevitably lose players but we should still have enough about us to do a Leeds. THB, Scienza, charles and Jander will likely go as a minimum. Possibility we don't sign Peretz either. New gk Bree Stephens wood/new signing Manning Downes Bragg Matsuki Azaz new signing Stewart/Larin Is still a decent team and with a couple of smart additions should see us in the hunt for promotion.

Yep. They deserve big credit for getting Spors and then letting him do things his way. They can say all sorts of guff and they have done. What matters is results and performances and on that score they have finally got it right after Will Still and the signings this year have largely been decent.

I'm not sure it's an either or really is it. I'm really against a lot of the tactics they use and some of their falsehoods they've peddled have been attempts to wreck lives Not sure why Douglas Murray is a cunt either.

Not physically violent but they have emoyed some absolutely odious tactics to try to ruin people's lives.

Does he? Their forum doesn't seem to think so.

Who wrote him off? Lots of people said he APPEARED to be a shit signing and it was underwhelming. It was an initial judgement based on the available evidence. That judgement changed once the evidence did. I'd be interested to see how many posters actually wrote him off by saying he was guaranteed to be shit for us.

Agreed we have to be hard nosed about it. The likes of Tadanari Lee and Lee Barnard were good championship servants but not good enough for the prem.

I said Cyle looked like a shit signing on paper when we signed him. That initial assessment was wrong clearly and I'm very pleased that it was. I sti think it's odd that some posters on here don't expect other posters to have initial reactions to signings before they have played for us. We've had plenty of signings I thought would be great who turned out to be shite and vice versa. Nothing wrong with that, it's a message board.

And me. Southampton leadership hadn't earnt any trust and seemingly made one mental decision after another. Appointing the assistant seemed like the cheap option because he was a yes man and when we lost all those games over Christmas whilst continuing with three at the back it seemed that was true. We praise the players for being brave but this was a very brave decision. Had this failed the club would have been ridiculed but as it happens, spors and the hierarchy deserve all the credit for sticking to their guns.

Best thing about today was the use of the squad and how everyone performed. So valuable to have Edozie looking lively, Wellington getting an assist, Stewart coming off the bench to score, even archer having a useful run and pass.

Who was moaning before the game about lack of attacking options? Have more faith!

He's absolutely awful. I'm missing Adam and Jo tbh.

Bit doom and gloom on here. Personally I think ita a decent team. A settled defence and Stephens back which is great, a pretty fresh Charles after largely being rested last game, fresh Downes and Matsuki and Larin was always going to play over Stewart. Fellows unlikely to start after playing for so long on Saturday and Scienza has just come back from injury and we will need him on Saturday as well. Great to see Edozie get a start as well, he should get some joy with his direct running and I like his style-certainly a great squad player in this league. Compare the 11 we have out to the one from the first game. Night and day!

Are we judging prime ministers on their footballing abilities now? It was bad enough when Milliband got pilloried for eating a bacon sarnie like a spaz.
