Saint Fan CaM

Superb result and fair play to Wotte...he has earnt respect from the players clearly and he deserves the same from us fans now. At last it is so obvious that those of us calling for 4-4-2 and Euell up front with Saga is the way forward...just a pity its taken so long for the management to catch on. Despite the euphoria at winning 3 on the trot, it is telling that we are STILL 3rd from bottom and serves to remind us just what a huge job there still is to ensure safety. Come on you Saints.

Come on Saints - you can do this...one more goal from Saga (or anyone for that matter) and we'll be coming away with another 3 points. Wooohoooo!

Blimey - Stead sounds a bit dangerous....trying a overhead. Half-time - home fans booing their players off. LOL. Good when things go well eh?!

Corner to Ipswich....dreadful corner apparently.

Case saying that Saints players working very hard to keep the lead. Two minutes extra time.

Ipswitch fans booing it sounds like...come on you reds!

Sheeeeeeet! Near miss from a great ball from Skacel - Saga 0.5yd short of getting on ball.

We are blessed with a little luck it seems at the moment.

Come on Saints - get into the changing room one up - PLEASE!

Euell just needed to be given a proper run in the right position with the right partner...he has quality, attacks the box and the ball...and he can defend aswell by just clearing a ball off the line! WOTTE A PLAYER!!! LOL.

Phew! We might win then!

If that's true then a big mistake has been made IMO. Schnerderlin does not appear to me to be anything other than a defensive central midfielder and certainly should not be playing left wing FFS! :roll:

I don't think Schneiderlin is correct guy for the right flank - he got pulled into the middle far too often and is more comfortable playing a holding role at CM IMO. I would keep the team the same, but give Smith a chance on the right or possibly start with BWP.

Totally agree Hypo - a really good example of 12th man / team spirit going on. Even heard someone on radio talk about 'Fortress St. Mary's' - early days perhaps, but just maybe the corner has been turned at last and a bit of that lost spirit of Southampton is starting to return.

I wonder if he was brought in as a consultant to find out what the f*ck was going on in training? It goes to show just how massively JP was out of his depth. Despite him supposedly being a nice guy, it would appear he was not particularly competent.

Agreed again - I really like Size - he is in the same mould as Killer and Claus IMO...perhaps even better as his work rate is superb. I think Perry really works well with him also. I've always rated Skacel TBF and I think he's clicked with Surman on the left now. James is really looking to be a proper RB now and every game looks a little more composed, although I fear he is too slow to make a step-up to Prem level perhaps.

Got to say it was absolutely a world-class save - he had no right getting to it, but he did and it could prove to be the save that save's our season. I was in Kingsland and there were loads of us that gave KD a well deserved standing ovation for two incredible displays of world-class goalkeeping. We are very lucky to have that guy with us still.

There have been many on here calling for Euell to be put in attack (and an equal number perhaps saying how crap Euell is). However, Wotte has managed to get some essential things right so far... 1. He's found a winning formula - Euell and Saga in attack. 2. McGoldrick actually looks good as a playmaker type attacking CM - in fact far better than a striker, although he needs to work on his fitness a bit more. 3. He has kept the winning side consistent - no tinkering for tinkerings sake. Credit where its due - he has it seems helped the lads turn a corner. I was especially pleased to see him come out on the pitch and keep the lads back for a huddle and to congratulate the fans.

Great job finding out what most have us have been shouting for months - play Euell up front with Saga. Yes, he's won us two games - let's hope for more, but he's not the Messiah just yet.

I think the primary reason for the upturn is that the players AND the coaches are now responding to a system of play and a general coaching set-up that actually makes some f-ing sense. Killer is clearly a part in that improvement.

I agree - the support today was really good. I think we needed jogging into voice a couple of times as I think we couldn't believe a 2nd good performance. When Cardiff looked like getting into the game and applying a lot of pressure, there was a concerted round of "red and white army" with clapping from most of the ground and I am positive that lifted the players as we then started to turn the tables again.

I fear this will go down as Lowe's worst managerial decision ever. Yes SOG he has gone - and we continue to live with the consequences...
