I agree with what you are saying but in the end we lost missing chances and conceding in the last 15 mins.
Were you confident we were going to win when we went 2 1 up I certainly was not and neither was the team
Probably we need a couple of players with the winning mentality
For the last few seasons we have missed chances and conceded late goals and not had the rub of the green
How you address that I don't know but top teams manage to score late goals and have luck but not us
The squad has improved without any new signings in the last couple of months so it may well do so again in the future with the current squad plus a RB
Buying players I don't think is a priority at the moment but it probably will in the summer
Ralph did not say that Vokins was the answer he said that if a backup LB was brought in it would obviously in the long term hamper the development of him.
There is little point in having an Academy if we dont give the players coming from there a chance.
It seems to be a pretty sensible approach to me there is no point in getting in an average player just in case of injuries I doubt a decent one would want to come and sit on the bench behind two established internationals
I started watching Saints on returning to Southampton in August 1962 so I never saw him play was he replaced by David Burnside who scored that memorable goal in the FA Cup at the Milton Road End a few months later.
It was the only time I ever watched a match under the East Stand as there were so many fans there that night that we went through the first relatively empty turnstile instead of going to the Milton Road End
I read this not about Saints but about Arsenal but of course it is also very true at St Mary's
In today's game without investment and leadership we cannot expect to be a top ten club when other teams like Leicester and Wolves and to some extent Bournemouth are investing
