Not Saints but it's good to see Antonio doing well for Forest. 2 goals today.

Great shot JWP!

Hardly. Just noting his lack of movement.

Pelle playing like he has an anvil in his shorts. Move man!

We grew as the game went on but seriously lacking movement up front!

Doesn't seem to have much in the way of movement. Just a big lump with no pace so far. Still plenty of time to adapt to the Premiership though!

At the moment yes. We keep giving the ball back cheaply.

The game is pretty open. Both teams sloppy in possession.

Sleepy start for the Saints.

Whether Kuszcak would be happy as backup at this stage in his career though is doubtful.

@SchneiderlinMo4 21h So happy for my friend @JayRodriguez9 #hewillcomebackstronger

£12 could be worse, and given the urgency I think we can expect to pay a bit extra. I think he'll make an excellent addition to the squad.

FULL TIME: @SouthamptonFC 0-1 @bayer04fussball #saintsfc Sounds a bit like we need more striking options. We've only really got Pelle at the moment..

89: Taïder and Ramírez looking lively as #SaintsFC hunt a late leveller… [0-1]

84: Pause in play while Kießling receives treatment. The new LED floodlights at St Mary’s shining brightly this evening! #saintsfc [0-1] The lights are obviously the brightest thing happening for us

80: Chance for Kießling to double #Bayer04’s lead as he dinks the ball over Boruc but Bertrand clears off the line. #saintsfc [0-1]

77: Another two substitutions from #SaintsFC as Emmanuel Mayuka and @jackcork1 replace Steven Davis and @VictorWanyama. [0-1]

73: Ramírez heads a diagonal cross down for Davis, but his shot is blocked by a #Bayer04 defender. #saintsfc [0-1]

70: Chance for #SaintsFC as Tadić and Steven Davis combine well to tee up Ramírez, whose fierce drive flies inches over the bar. [0-1]

65: Tadić free-kick is cleared as far as debutant Taïder, whose instinctive shot deflects just over for a corner. #saintsfc [0-1]

57: Unfortunate for Pellè as he heads an awkward #Bayer04 corner beyond Boruc. #saintsfc [0-1]

It happens, he could be the next Brolin.

Van Gaal has come in and was probably expecting more for his £27 million. But Shaw has probably had his head in the sky thinking he's the best left back in the world for the last few weeks. This be a nice bump down to earth for him. A real manager who doesn't take any bull****.

Look how quickly the BBC/other media outlets have reported this turn-about in events. Probably don't believe him either.

But once they have passed the test (and they already let lunatics through) they are free to do what they want basically?
