Would an out and out striker actually make any difference - other than Gabbi's goal against Wham - i dont think I have seen either Long or Gabbi have a chance to miss. The problem is Davis , Romeu and Lemina are so deep and dont support the striker and Redmond and Tadic are out wide so no a threat on goal we really need to sort out positioning to make more chances

When Gabbiadini joined us I was reading that one of his former managers said he's best position was on the left not as a out and out striker - Therefore I dont see it as such a risk to play him wide instead of Redmond - with Charlie up front then we at least have two people on the pitch that can score goals without upsetting the structure of the team

I thought Tadic was miles better than Redmond today - what did Redmond do to keep his place ahead of Tadic

BREAKING NEWS Virgil Van Dijk has left the Southampton training ground in the back of a blacked out car. Where’s he off too? According to Sky sports

Give me a computer that tracks every league player in the top 40 leagues, a team of analysts and half an hour and I would come up with some names

whats happening with Hesketh?

You are aware we are not allowed to win the 1st game of the season

anyone know if there is a live stream

Combination of bloody spell check and poor spelling

Last seasons lack of goals was not just down to Puel and lack of chances - there were games were it was painful watching Long when he missed so many quilt edge chances (arsenal away in the cup springs to mind) - the same with Jrod Why anyone wants to bin our top goal scorer and replace him with a totally unproven player in the prem league seems a bit of major gamble

not entirely sure people are jizzing themselves - it seems the mood ranges from deeply disappointed to wishful thinking that he'll surprise us like pottichino

Great summary - although Im not entirely sure a Puel Mk 11 upgrade is what this forum is looking for

I know nothing about FdB - is he as negative as some people are making out - can you tell us why you think he would do alright as I enjoy reading your opinions

we could never compete with that watch

We were hoping you would tell us

Your going to be disappointed - he's earmarked as the next Pompey manager

Not the most gifted of footballers but appeared to be a lovely guy, never kicked up a stink - I wish him well and hope we get more players with his attitude

I think that JWP is good at whipping in Free kicks and corners but I would nt say he is great at taking free kicks as direct shots and his open play direct shooting is woeful

lolz - i'll give you that one:lol:

you knock yourself out and enjoy then

i'd rather have a go and lose than watch this turgid boring cr*p

how many more games do we need to concede 3 or more goals before he gives caraces a chance.

because they are struggling to fund the purchase of the club so where is the extra investment going to come form

There is a whole host of things in between thou that will cause contention - if a player was on the edge of the box and carried on for a few seconds - at the moment they would get booked if they carried on an shot - however this change will ensure that they carry on just in case - Im all for it but think there should be two challenges per team like in cricket

I take it that anyone who watched it are now asleep hence no feedback
