Is Rodriguez really worth all this money and drawn out effort?

Poor show.

Up the Queen! Magnificent.

350 for 5 - at last we are getting batting points! It is very cold weather for cricket.

Katich is going well on 159 - and thank God for that given the earlier scores!

No i would not - i want better than this and I really do believe we will achieve it.

I continue to have my doubts about NC. I would be appalled if we lost Nigel Adkins after all he has done. Back to back promotions is an extraordinary achievement.

It was shame the two captains could not agree a target. Still we got ten points from the match which is a step forward.

316 for 6 now - at least we're getting a few batting points thanks to JA and the new bloke.

Yes a bit hit and miss on the transfers - and now comes the big test in who we buy for the PL. We want people who fit in and don't want any dressing room big egos and trouble makers. We don't want to pay very silly money but we do want some real talent especially pace - the current Saints side does not have enough pace for the PL in my view. Comeback AOC - all is forgiven!!

259 for 3 - that's a bit better!!

The match has started - do we look a bit thin in the bowling department?

Getting in the England team would not be a good thing for our players I fear.

Two more days lost to rain - will our season ever begin??

Well I hope you're right but they are not delivering at present. It's a great shame.

I am hoping that several will break into the squad next season including Luke Shaw about whom I have heard great things.

Another dreadful batting display - is there any proper leadership - do they lack concentration? There is something going badly wrong.

Is he really worth it??

The FA is absolutely hopeless and run by silly old men who are motivated by money and greed. What has happened to the greatest cup competition in the world is a national disgrace.

Not looking good - pray for rain (there is lots around).

Well I know the weather is bad but this batting is just awful. If I had the time I might volunteer myself!

And here we go again - 42 for 3 at the close. Why can't we bat??

I thought Delap was OK - but it was a long time ago now.

I have very real reasons for thinking that Begbies Traynor are a dreadful organisation - they handled the administration of our working men's club and did it very very badly indeed.

ITV are not interested in Southampton.
