He's not that great really, wouldn't be too bothered if he signed for them and played against us on Saturday.

Take a draw?

I'd put him in the top 10 keepers in the Championship.

Such a good penalty and the other 2 were good as well, even if the 1st was down to the keeper. Looking forward to reports and ratings from those back from the game.

I think people would be a lot more positive and confident about this one if the other teams around us hadn't have won in midweek. It's about our own form and performances and we were great against Derby. 2-0 Saints, Lambert to get back on the score sheet.

Only real questions in terms of line up can be who plays right back and Puncheon or Guly. Everything else should be the same. I'd rather see Lee come off the bench than Connolly though.

I think their team should demonstrate by scoring 10 own goals. This would really send out a message.

I'm sure you'll be fine. If you're concerned just explain to a steward what it is before you start 'smoking' it.

In October 2007 Birch left Derby County. He was lined up to be the new Southampton Chairman heading the new regime if the proposed takeover from Daniel Williams had materialised.

I think Chris Owen has gone to the toilets for a cry.

That was a rather blunt tweet...

'Most of which'

Love Puncheon's celebrating when we score on the highlights.

Soccer AM is sh*t these days. No offense like

How about a midfield of Puncheon, Morgan (or Cork), Lallana and Guly? In a diamond or a variation of it I think it could work. Puncheon was pretty much playing in the middle last night.

There's not a CB in the league I'd have over Jos.

Was right behind the goal where Sharp had his chance, and saw it again on the big screens at half time. Won't get a better chance all season. Still can't believe he didn't score.

2 things- Our key man in this game has got to be Hooiveld, he was outstanding in the home match and with their striking options he needs to do the same again. Also, Lallana is just starting to get back to form, and he wasn't even playing when we beat them at SMS.

How many tickets have we got?

You obviously weren't at Ipswich.

If one of the strikers was going to play slightly further forward than the other I'd say it'd be more likely to be Sharp. Lambert seemed to be playing a bit deeper against Millwall and it would allow him to pull the full backs wide (as he likes to do) whilst leaving a danger man, in the form of Sharp, in the middle.

I'm still trying to work out what the blanked out swear word is. Is it bugger?

They tend to just go on what the club tells them so wouldn't read to much into that.

If I was Howe I'd be telling my players to press us high up the pitch and not let our midfield play. If I was Adkins I'd be trying to work out how to play when this inevitably happens.
