Squad size will be ok no doubt but quality remains a question which is the thing concerning me this window. Yes, we've signed xyz but they are all squad players to add depth and options. But none with any "star", game changing quality. We are just hoping based on their stats and their previous experiences that they come good for us in the first team and that they will develop into the stars we hope they will be for us. But that is The Saints way. I suspect anything more would be considered unsustainable!

Messi has gone back to sulking today

Superb match so far.

Squeak

Decent stats. Hopefully he and Armstrong can make the transition to the Premier League. At least we have some new options.

I hope he stays. Regular playing time will have given him a real boost last year. We have to take a decent look at him before moving on surely. Feel he's one of those players who will always give 100% which is what you need when you are fighting relegation / promotion.

Departures don't worry me. It's the arrivals we struggle with. Tadic needs to be replaced.. lets hope the club agree.

Just my opinion but I don't think he is consistent enough or necessarily what we need. Is he better than Tadic?

Would be worth a gamble for 12 mil. But we don't tend to waste money on maybes.. except the 19 mil on Carillo.

Yes it'd be great for us if he can find some form again and have a good run with Portugal. So low on confidence last year.

I'll be surprised if we sign 2 CBs. Reed probably thinks what we have is enough already. Plus we've spent £36m on two strikers recently. Probably look to sell Bertrand and promote Targett

I think that's what happens when you promote your 3rd,4th,5th choice CBs to first choice. No matter who is in charge.

So glad that wasn't the goal that relegated us. Doesn't bear thinking that it could have been. Enjoyed the whole game but the ending sums up the problems this year. Disappointing we can never hang on.

We deserved more. But it's mistakes at the back like that which sums up our defence. Someone said it was Stephens? Unforgivable. Unfortunately I think Les will consider him first choice next year.

And there have have it.

Sane.. thought that was it then

I'm sure they'll be granted whatever extra time they require

May have more to do with not worrying about safety but yes. Hughes has done the job with hardly any time left

What a difference in the team. Playing without fear!

Austin has had a poor couple of weeks. Really has no pace and movement at all.

I'm actually enjoying this We are on back foot second half but.. wow no stress !

BBC reckons the Stoke fans are chanting we want 10 !? No pride.

Now we are safe we can all look forward to a long drawn out transfer window where we fail to sign a CB and adequate replacements at the laat minute and go into next year frustrated with the same squad Reed probably thinks this survival proves we have enough.

McCarthy and Gabbi the heroes!

2 wins out of 3. Surely we are saved!
