Can't really understand why we changed the team from the last 20 mins against Hearts......Did Rasiak figure at all? I know Thomas was injured but we could have slotted Rasiak in for John and decided between Goburn and Mills on the left with Wotton on gardening leave - permanantly! Who signed and gave that bloke a three year contract or was it four years? Who ever it was should be certified!

I'm sorry but Wotton - I really do get exasperated at the thought him even in the squad let alone playing. I also worry about any manager who picks him!

You talk rubbish mate and have little understanding of football that is toilet banter not considered expertise on the game.......We had 11 young energetic headless chickens last year and look where we ended up!

God anyone would think we just signed Ronaldo himself! Straw grabbing euphoria. I didn't see the Ajax game but I did see the Hearts game - keep your feet on the ground...............

A bit harsh!

Might one be lead to wonder if Stern said he wanted to stay when he had no other offers! However as it would appear clubs are now pannicking as the season approaches he seems to have had a sudden change of heart. I have to say, and this isn't sour grapes - he looked very leaden footed and over weight against Hearts whereas Rasiak was floating around the pitch with a confidence and fitness which made me think he is the one to target with a new contract - a class apart actually.........

Yes most of the play did go up the right first half - that's because there was no one to distribute the ball wide left as Mills was too central. I'm not saying he's crap but his positional play was not helping our balance.....

Mills was for sure our poorest player playing far too centre of pitch giving us no width and compressing the play on the right side crowding out Lallana. We scored two quick goals remember as soon as Gobern came on for him and we had width and room for Lallana and Murty to operate down the right.

The coverage for the Ajax game by Solent was very boring disjointed and amatuer - what the hell it was supposed to be I don't know - bring back Hampshire quick I can't a season of 'once that players cross that white line' Merrington. Solent coverage needs a complete overhaul!!

Not a bad summing up though I would like to say that Mills looked poor. Either he was ordered to play in the centre circle for most of the match or he was way out of position. What this did - particularly first half was compress the play into the right hand side as there was no out let to the left! This had the effect of crowding out Lallana giving us no width. This 'tactic' continued until Gobern came on and he stretched their midfield by playing much wider. Result was Lallana and Murty had much more room and we started to construct attacking movements.................

God that's funny!!! Harry has had his moment of motivating Glory, expect Spurs to struggle this year!............It's over Harry, admit it Spurs is not your spiritual home Sandbanks is!! Get ready to walk your dog full time, now that's spiritual!

This is a great post well put..................

God so agree........... Pinnacle used MLT they so did!!

Great idea, lets loan him out to a div one side for experience !!!! Get a life!

If RL booted out John Mortimer there would have been uproar but because it's not him it's ok ???????? No It's not actually!!!!

Agreed ....................................

Very well put about Paul Wotten - what is that all about? He is so far off the required standard even for this league - why oh why oh why is he still picked - no where near good enough and would not get my 'local' team, surely AP will have spotted he is not up to it, God about 20,000 others can see it a mile off.........

Where the hell does all this euphoria come from over AP. He is an inescure manager who loves to big himself up. Whilst it is good to be positive and support the guy now he is here, I for one was really dissapointed when I heard the news. He always looks clueless in a crisis which transmits to the players. Man management skills are also suspect according to rumours in the press during his West Ham and Charlton days. Could turn out to be a Stachan however I don't believe for a second he is in his league. Summary: Appointment 5 out of 10 with results to match.........

Asolutely not thankyou...................................................

well said !!!

Sorry but I completely agree with this post. Your bid was far fetched and has wasted very valuable time.......

Adam Llalana has played well for Saints in one position, that which Nigel Pearson played him in up front. The Dutch coaches have continually played players out of position and Llalana is a prime example of this. Wotte is a problem I'm afraid tactically very out of touch and also cannot feel the right position for players - he has proved this already. I really hope Wotte is moved on.............

How is it, at this club we always have a minority of people saying they speak for the majority of fans - YOU DON'T ..............GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Errrrrrrrr ................CROUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?????????????????????????????? Not named ???????????????????????
