they've tried that move a number of times in recent games - it was the third time on Saturday that it resulted in the goal - a great move straight from the training ground

a return to the Premiership - with an FA Cup or League Cup Win! keeping hold of players like Lallana so we can see them play for Saints in the Premier League spending the money in January to make us odds on favourites for automatic promotion doing the doube over Portsmouth - with Cortese putting Cotterill and Pompey in their place in the press!

never quite got that far - but it probably would have been the elected chairman of the Saints Trust. At one point that was Um Pahars but its true he didn't want the job

Cork is a lot better in the middle than at right back. Abd We still need a young pacey striker with power to lead the line. The whole team switched before half time but the substitions in the second half allowed us to play out the game for a win. We were great going forward at times but not great defensively - particularly down the flanks. Boobies looked good - but didn't look like he was used to dealing with so many high balls - his distribution was great though.

He was terrible against Millwall - Bouazza did him for pace, strength and power repeatedly - he nutmegged him a couple of times as well - and was given 3 clear shots on goal. Frasers positioning was terrible throughout the game. Sounds like he had a similarly bad game at Leicester as Cork was moved to right back to plug the gap. Saying that he was brilliant against Leeds and marked Gradel out of the game.

Yes we do - and one in their early 20s with potential

Surely The Only Way Is Essex for him isn't it - he's the younger brother of Mark and Jessica Wright of the TV isn't he?

It will be interesting to see how they police the Notts Forest game as the last few times we've played them there has been trouble somewhere in town - although it has been while. Didn't they smash up the Lizard Lounge's windows many years ago?

Sanchez Watt? Jonjo Shelvey?

They can only be 3 month loans can't they?

Richardson and Guly are a real weakness defensively on our right flank. Fraser was shocking against Millwall. Bouazza could easily have had a hatrick. And it sounds like we were just as bad there against Leicester. I'm not sure how we solve this problem apart from playing Cork at right back - but we need him and Morgan in the middle to keep the ball.

I hope it's not Andy Johnson - he's injury prone, passed his best and a right old diver!

Richardson had a nightmare against Milwall - and we were lucky to get away with it.

Is that apart from Forte?

Maynard has a better record at this level than Long - Rodriguez I'll give you his record was pretty much the same as Long. Reality is Long was very overpriced. He didn't look that special until he hit a purple patch in the second half of last season

have you got the blinkers on or what!?!?!?!?!? Forte was not a great signing - yes his two goals were probably invaluable - but the reality is we are stuck with a player for the next 2 or 3 years that we don't really want and who is probably past his best and not really going to improve. I hope I'm proved wrong - but I dont think I will be and that is part of the reason we are supposedly looking for another striker. At the time it looked like a panic buy as we couldn't get anyone else. As a 6 month loan it would have been a great deal! the Elliott Ward deal was done and dusted by all accounts - but then we dropped it and went for Seabourne. For me Ward would have been a first choice partner for Fonte and would have made the difference between finishing where we did and getting us in the play-offs. It also made the club look a bit stupid and a bit unprofessional - which will come back to bite us and maybe already has done so Seabourne was the cheap option - and he's been OK - but that's it The Fontaine and the Billy Sharpe situations haven't done us any favours either with agents or other clubs Jaidi was great last season - but at 37 he probably should have retired - as it is he's carrying an injury so it will be some while before we see him play again - and a long time before he hits the levels he did at the end of last season. It's also why we're supposedly looking for another left sided centreback. I expect Adkins and Cortese probably think it was the wrong decision to give him another year now - unless he's on a pay as you play deal. Must admit I was 50/50 on whether to give him another year at the end of last season by the way we don't need to worry about Plymouths third keeper - we've got Forecast! the Do Prado, Jack Cork and Steve De Ridder signings and renewing of Schneiderlin's and Lallana's contract's were all brilliant bits of business! Particularly the signing of De Ridder before selling Oxlade-Chamberlain (which in itself was a masterstroke of business)

Jonathan Forte? Failure to sign Elliot Ward? Renewing Jaidi's contract? Just thinking. Not saying it's all bad but it's not all good either. More good than bad to be honest but like most things in life it's not black or White.

At 36/37 he was probably too old to play on. Problem is players lose match fitness over the summer and at that age it takes them a lot longer to regain it. And they get injured more easily. It took him two years to get fully match fit - and we saw the best if him at the end of last season. However I don't think we will see it again. I think we should have let him retire on a high at the end of last season.

Phillipe Senderos!?! Just a guess bases on the Swiss connection. But I have a feeling it's probably Kilgallon - who at least has a cool name! The Jack Cork and Steve De Ridder signings were great - but I have to say the Billy Sharp fiasco, the signing of Danny Fox and the Fontaine debacle suggest are transfer strategy is in a bit of a mess. Fox didn't exactly look great against Millwall - certainly no better than Dickson or Joseph Mills. Why did we need 5 (now 4) left backs. Richardson also struggled against Millwall so perhaps we need a 4th right back (counting Jack Stephens) now as well!

Nothing to worry about there - Martin O'Neill is waiting for Steve Bruce to get sacked before taking the Sunderland Job. Mark Hughes will probably end up at Leicester once Sven's got the sack. Who will be the new Ipswich boss though?

We were very very lucky to get the win today. If there number 8 could finish he might have had a hatrick. Not mention the goal lone scrambles. They were probably the best team we've played so far.

have you been to Holland - its not all like Amsterdam! Rotterdam makes Southampton look beautiful - and Eindhoven makes it look like a city of culture!

he was terrible for Leeds against us at St Marys - all he had was pace and little else apart from the arrogance and the selfishness of a goal hanger! he offered nothing to the team which was losing a game a needed to grind out a draw - he just just sulked and wined, dived and complained to the ref a awful lot

he was great at Leeds United in the Championship - before they got relegated and he left for Sheffield United. Things seem to have gone a bit off track since then though!

Dickson, Harding and Fox are all better at attacking than defending it seems! Either one of the three is going to be leaving or one is going to be playing as a left winger. I would guess that either Harding is leaving or Dickson will be playing as a left winger. I am guessing Holmes will be on his way shortly along with Forte. With Lallana and De Ridder capable of playing on either wing I think it will be a case of Fox being first choice left back, Harding second choice left back and Dickson second choice left winger. I would love to see players like Forte and Holmes leave to make way for players like Maynard and Rodriguez!
