Thank you for pointing out what I don't realise. Your analysis is clearly far superior to mine.

We are bottom of the fouls league. Says it all. Perhaps we are focusing on getting into Europe via the fair play system, if the League Cup route fails. We have comparable scoring records to the top two teams either at home or away and have scored as many as anyone outside of the top 8. If we can just survive this year NA can buy a whole new defence and keeper so that we can really challenge for a top 6 spot. Seriously, going forward we are as good as I have seen this year, except Arsenal on their day. Imagine how confident our forwards would be knowing they had a solid defence to play ahead of. Exciting times.

Cork will be class at this level and will start. Lee is not good enough for the Prem but will be given chances off the bench like Mayuka to please our growing fanbases in far flung parts of the world.

You didn't watch the united game then? He was superb.

The biggest mistake for me was Mayuka not holding the ball up but instead insisting solely on balls he could run on to. Lambo holds the ball up so well and brings others into the game - he was a massive loss when he went off. JRod, sorry but whats the point?

We did not get the balance of the team right today. Wigan had weak spots and we didn't take advantage of them. With the squad we currently have I would line up like this (those players I would like to replace with Prem class players are marked with a *): --------------------Davis*------------------- Clyne----Fonte*-------------Jos---------Fox* -------------Davis-----Schneiderlin----------- ----Guly*----------------------------Lallana--- -----------------Lambo---------------------- -----------------J Rod-----------------------

Ward-Prowse and Clyne will be full England internationals sooner rather than later I think. Good to see Fox getting a call up for Scotland too. Who else do you think we currently have who is uncapped but could get an international call up?

First time I've seen him. About time we developed a good central midfielder. A little bit Steven Gerrardesque anyone?

When we were in the Prem I would often find young guys across from the continent on days or weekends out, keen to take in a bit of Premier League football. We have well connected airports at Southampton and Bournemouth and of course ferries - if we can get top names to play for us you will see quite a few people coming from Europe to watch us play. I'm sure Nicola is well aware of this. I know people here in Southampton who regularly go and watch Barca play because it's quite cheap and easy to get there.

Are you including on-line sex?

That's made my day! Not seen that before.

Tricky one. Between Ricky and Jos for me. I would vote Jos - 8 important goals from central defense and we looked vulnerable whenever he was injured. Surely the best signing of the Championship season. We may have struggled to make the play-offs without him. Fine player who will make an impact in the Prem next season.

ooosh, whod have thought wed be cheering on Leicester at this stage of the season.

Out of the current squad who do you think would hack it in the Prem? For me: 1. Kelvin - has at least two more seasons left as a top keeper 3. Fox - Has a wonderful left foot when he has time on the ball and set pieces 4. Cork -still young, fantastic heart and will only get better 6. Jos - Best central defender we have had since Killer IMO 7. Lambert - one of the best English forwards around right now 8. Schneiderlin - not a massive fan myself but he has got better and better this season. 11. Lallana - been Prem quality for years. Inconsistent and not the biggest build probably the reasons why nobody has made a massive bid for him thus far. IMO we would need to replace Fonte, get a top quality RB, a ball winning CM, an out and out pace merchant up front (in the Henri Camara mould) and RM. Discuss

If we go up automatically it will not be because of our form over the next 5 games, it will be because West Ham bottle it. I think we have problems.

Schneiderlin made it very clear that he was going to make a full blooded challenge on the Pompey player (Varney?), who saw it coming and went over the top of the challenge into his knee. Somewhat naive perhaps on Morgans part and sly and dare I say smart on the part of the Pompey player. Morgan will learn from this. He was down in front of us and was beating in the ground and covering his face in a lot of distress. Was surprised he even tried to shake it off for a few seconds before we brought Cork on. I would be surprised if he's back to full fitness this season and therefore it's very encouraging to read the above report from someone who spoke to him. For me Morgan has been our most improved player this season.

He was clearly frustrated with the support and play around him. As others have said, we needed a player like Lee along side/just in front of him. He just doesn't link well with Sharp. Lambo came out second half and was quite a way off of being fit. There were several occasions when he never ran and avoided challenges. Still, at this stage of the season an 80% fit Lambert is is still far and away our best forward option. My gut feeling is that Lambert will not be fit enough for Palace on Monday and we may rest him for Friday.

No, not at all. I've seen him play quite a few games for us now and whilst he's clearly not firing on all cylinders for us at present I fail to see the potential in him. I am very confident that we will go up this season and I don't see any place for him in a Saints Prem team. When we go up we will need a couple of good forward signings.

Not a Prem class player, not in a million years. Has fluffed loads of chances for us, doesn't look dangerous in any way, slows our play down and today showed he can't take penalties. When we go up IMO we need to get rid. Discuss.

Typical SDR performance. For much of the game he looked like being the player who would give us the breakthrough but his final delivery leaves quite a lot to be desired.

Not usually a fan of Morgan but I thought he was very good today. Along with Cork they dominated the midfield and allowed the forwards and fullbacks to play. Donny had some very good individuals but by 'eck Saint's don't 'arf play superb as a team.

One word of advice - don't take the stuff the Tories do at face value. This is about preserving country pubs and community pubs.

My man-crush on Jos just gets more and more unnatural. Love him.

I've not seen a better centre half in the Championship all season. For me he is the best we've had since Killer. I've no doubt he'll do a great job in the Prem too.

Ah, Bamford, yup that's the one. The9 - did Sturridge not play in their youth team? I know they pinched him from City when he was still quite young.
