@solentsport: Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino has confirmed that Virgil Van Dijk was fit for selection today and didn't miss out through injury... #SaintsFC

Woeful. Can't score enough to win games & too weak at the back. I have no faith in the recruiters.

Ignore me! He is!

Peter Bosz must be on their list, surely?

A change of league is most likely.

Imagine if he isn't the problem and this makes us worse (!)

I saw this mentioned a few days ago. I think Allsorts posted it.

SSN: Swansea City are interested in talking to Ronald Koeman and Slaven Bilic over replacing Paul Clement, according to Sky sources. We understand Tony Pulis is not a candidate the club are pursuing.

This. Very much similar to us (only we've had longer without addressing the situation).

Probably his right foot.

We seem lightyears behind other teams in regards to bringing in youth talent from abroad.

No, he played for the U18's the other day in the FA Youth cup.

Hesketh & Sims have been the most advanced for a while, but both hit with bad injuries. Sims has the thing I always look for in that you can tell they are far too good for that level last season. Michael Obafemi scored a hat-trick the other week & looks lightning quick, so I'll be keeping tabs on how he develops. On a side-note. Do most youth academy players pick up as many serious injuries as we tend to get?

I imagine it will turn toxic if we don't win.

They also sold all of their goals.

Excellent ambition, if true

Will probably need his transfer to act as an extra parachute payment at the rate we're going.

Saw this article at the weekend: Source: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/15774139.Saints_considering_January_signings/

Liverpool seemingly want us to lower the price for VvD which is hilarious given their 'name your price' approach in the summer.

To be honest, I could pretty much believe this entirely.

1-1 last minute

Very much in-keeping with our gain-the-upper-hand-then-shoot-ourselves-in-foot policy from this season.

Ooh, didn't know this was on. Just had a look at the starting line-up & Sims is playing his 1st game back from injury which is good to see.

Pretty much agree with most of that. In very simple terms, we struggle to score & are letting goals in. It's the perfect mix for a relegation scrap. If we could fix our goal scoring problem, we would be fine.
