Before our recent streak of good form; I thought the time was right for Ralph to depart. I do admire the loyalty the club has shown him to date, it will be interesting to see how the new owners will take to this piss poor run of performances that we're now on. For the last few games we've been little threat up top and frequently exposed as a defensive unit, it's no real surprise that we've had a couple of thumpings.

ITK?? Close confident? Skilled at presenting opinion as fact?

Nail on the head.

The blue Rank Xerox is my favourite away kit.

Is Forster proven "quality"?? His quality is proven and many would say we should be looking for better. Anyway, this could all be irrelevant as Fraser might decide a change of scenery is what he wants.

If the reported wages of £80K a week are true, he has to go based upon the value received for his services.

I'd say average Premier League defender and I think he's as good as he's going to get.

He's insignificant

Gifted them the result. Overall a decent performance going forward, piss poor by the 2 centre backs. Djenepo coming on felt like we’d gone down to 10 men.

TonnerreBastard!!

His second half performance last night was infinitely better than his first half performance. Great to see his confidence in dribbling the ball out and I thought his decision making looked much more assured. Overall, a big step forward last night.

Valery looks utterly lost.

Ffs. A smack in the face for the supporters.

I think I spy a minor flaw in your plan... Romeu is only 3 months older than Jorginho, other than that it looks sound to me.

No bloody changes. We go again! COYS

Thunderbastard!!

We should win, doesn’t mean we will. Assuming Perraud is available for selection I think it’s only the fullbacks that Ralph has to make a decision over, the rest of the team picks itself.

And let's be fair Fraser's made a couple of cock ups

I'm not so sure it does fall into that category and here's why: - Southampton are not unique in employing this tactic or similar tactics - The tactic can suit both teams involved in the match, both are able to take on energy and chat with their respective coaches. - Players go down faking injury all the bloody time, a lot of the time to take some pressure off their team or to try and force the ref to stop a promising attack. It is infuriating. There is so much positivity that could be reported on the Saints currently, it must be disappointing that a non-story is the one that has received the most traction - or maybe that's just a sad reflection of sports journalism / society in general, after all there must be a reason why lil ol' Southampton are winning games. Fair play for signing up here though, hard hat on and good luck!

No analysis is required here. I appreciate subjectivity is your idea of hell but it's all around us or so I believe. It's clearly a tactic, we are not alone in applying it. Klippety and others have been doing it for ages.

What do you mean exactly by impact injuries? Can we objectively define if the impact is sufficient for the need of medical attention? How certain are we that the player is not already managing an injury that the impact was on and if so, what is the scale of that injury and what value of impact is required for it to then require medical attention? With that in mind, if the answer is 10 how the f**k does that help you, exactly?

Record attendance and total catchment area are independent of each other.

As a fan I’d recommend staying in the present. We can’t change the past and can’t control the future. Enjoy the football whilst we are performing well, everything else is just noise.

I think you’re mixing your Harrys. Most premier league strikers make Maguire look like a cart horse.

According to the BBC…
