And yet another game completely past by Reed.

At least he is allowed on the rides at Paultons unlike his midfield team mates.

The half a dozen or so posters on here who just blindly trot out that it's the only way had probably never even heard of such an extreme approach to this strategy a year ago. Along comes Claude and all of a sudden it's the only possible way we can get through a season. The only way. It's not the rotation that's the issue it's the degree he takes it to. Still he's got some youngsters some game time. I'm sure they'll be thanking him for giving their confidence such a boost.

Arsenal are putting out a weakened team too so anything is a possibility that's for sure.

It was a pretty straightforward question. I'm interested why you are happy but it doesn't seem you know why. Fair enough.

In what way are you 'happy' with that team? And Wycombe, the team who just lost?

We're keeping the CB signing well off the radar. Stealth mode. Keep an eye on the Potters Heron bookings.

Mandarin?

Don't the clubs toss for that?

Any news today? Poor guy's slipped right down the page after last nights shenanigans!

That's what I was alluding to. Not a stadium as SKD interpreted. That indeed would be a lodgistical nightmare.

Jacksons Farm. They've had it years. Lots of development taking place just up the road at the former Botley Park Golf course and a new app just gone over the road from the farm for 142 houses plus a newly approved development on the other side of the road from the golf course starting at Boorley Green railway bridge. Basically development everywhere and Jacksons Farm has a better chance now than it ever has.

Seems she's in it for the long haul. Lots of forward looking statements.

The roller coaster ride continues. Buckle up.

Immense team performance throughout. Romeu however, that was some display.

Immense.

You're stressing too much. Keep calm and let Les carry on. He's got it in hand.

Words I never thought I would read in this forum. Game time has really helped him this year to find some consistency in his performances. All of a sudden he's become a key figure with departures and injuries. How long does his current contract have left to run?

I think even you realise the forum has been operating for more than a week. I'm sure you definitely weren't one of those who said we don't sell in January.

First midfielder to score 100 Premier League goals. 212 career goals. Seems he probably does.

He's continued to be our captain this year unless 'rotated' or until his fall out and is a current European champion. I appreciate your efforts to rewrite and downplay his status to fit the circumstances but he really is / was one of our 'top' players.

We never never ever ever sell our top players in January. Absolutely no chance we will. When they do eventually go it is only ever to top 6 clubs. Two more Southampton Way SFC forum myths dispelled it would seem.

Bilic said first thing this morning that Fonte was not having a medical today. BBC Solent a bit slow on the uptake.

I don't believe he was happy but he said he was and therefore it's being used against him. I am certainly not blaming Puel for everything, far from it.

Puel said at the start of the season that he was happy with the depth and quality of his squad or words to that effect. So either he was genuinely happy or he was talking corporate PR to reflect the clubs reluctance to bring anyone else in. If it's the former then he misjudged it. If it's the latter then that's understandable but leaves folk asking the questions they are asking right now. I'm still surprised we haven't further exploited Puel's extensive knowledge of the French leagues to recruit than we have to this point.
