No one is shitting the bed the squad is poor and is likely to be relegated like most teams which are promoted from the championship Our recruitment has been dreadful since we sold VVD

There is nothing positive to say I have been following Saints for over sixty years and this squad is dire with no outstanding players

I often meet Saints fans although I do not live near Southampton they all seem quite positive and hardly ever moan unlike members of this forum. Apart from a nephew I have never met another forum member. I also support Hampshire at cricket and it is a much better experience as we are one of the best and regularly experience success and it costs very little

I think you have missed the point I was trying to make Although Charlie Taylor is a PL player he like Jack is probably not top class as I have never heard of him I like Jack and I think he has been an asset to the club but in my opinion he has been a first choice CB

He maybe a PL player but so is Jack Stephens and how many had heard of him before he joined us

I thought it was something to do with Fraser wanting some pay off which Newcastle do not agree with

should be family wedding

I agree I just went to a family where my wife's family members who were closet Brentford fans are now going on about Brentford and watching games instead of supporting Chelsea like they used to do

It would really be nice if we signed not loaned a top class player with no connection with the club Does not seem to have happened for years

Seems to me that the Academy players are just not up to it many go out on loan and rarely perform particularly well perhaps Jayden is just another one

Are you suggesting that the right players are not the best Lets hope they improve

At the moment how many decent PL players do we have in our squad who would improve teams like Brentford not many in my opinion but of course I could be surprised with results in the next few weeks

Apparently West Ham are in advanced talks to sign English right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 26, from Manchester United. (Teamtalk)

I think with our current squad it is unlikely many would want to come here

Sounds pretty underwhelming and hardly better than team finishing fourth in the Championship

So what should he have done about Neco Williams one of the top players of the tournament

I think you over estimate the quality of our players and underestimate the quality of Spain's players we had no one as good as their LB and LW In the first few minutes we hardly had the ball and when we did have it we lost it.

We have some very good players but I just do not think we have any fucking great players which Spain seem to have

Not only the play off final but also in the FA Cup Final of 1976 where Man U were beaten 1 0 The newspapers were not expecting us to win either including the Salvation Army and its Warcry paper which was sold in many London Pubs on friday nights their article said the Red Devils were going to win on May 1 but in real life Saints were always going to win over the devils in the eyes of the Lord.

Alan Ball played for the Saints and helped us to get promotion to Div 1 and eventually became manager I doubt Bellingham will do that

As you say Dumfries went in high, studs up and late, was nowhere near the ball pretty reckless

But are unbeaten and controlled the game yesterday against a strong Swiss side

The difference today is that in 2012 we had some decent youngsters that we have developed so lets hope Smallbone develops into a top PL player

Of course if the Championship player becomes a success that is great We have bought in loads of young players in the last few years but who has proved to be a success in Saints colours and enanced the team regularly

But the first XI is hardly better than last year so far
