I meant playing on his own, without support ie from the 2nd Striker as 433 / 451 when he is often lift isolated. Has he scored any goals with his head at the back post in the pre-season? Also a lot of the time he likes to come deep for the ball leaving the other forward to take the markers etc.

I think most of us expect it to be a tough season but we might us well be as fully prepared as we can be and make the most of the players we have and play them in their normal positions?

Sounds like it to me, as he says what is the point of playing JRod on the wing? Or wasting RL talents on his own though the middle?

Good Blog from Adam Blackmore http://bigadamsport.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/is-it-southampton-way-or-highway-for.html#!/2012/08/is-it-southampton-way-or-highway-for.html Makes me feel a bit worried too to be honest. I haven't been to any of the pre-season games (don't think many have giving the crowds we have had) but it seems like we still have a long way to go before we are ready for this season in PL. Hope I am wrong.

Me too. Haven't watched MOTD since we got relegated.

Oh yeah sorry you're write.

All four were ex-Saints, Fash played on loan too.

I really like that one!

I think the gk kit looks all black on the vid

Also need a 3rd

Yeah totally agree.

Yeah nothing like Liverpool .....................

Im open minded but I ******* hate it.

Aren't the stripes thicker? I like the slighly thicker stripes rather then the pin stripes. Is it copied off here? I don't know.

I hope so!

I haven't had a season ticket there before (had one in block 4 and family sect) but I have bought one in block 2 now and looking forward it. Whenever i have been in block 2 there has always been a good atmosphere sitting or standing.

I moved from the family section to block 2 in the Itchen. Daughter not interested anymore and I can't wait to back in that little corner on a regular basis. No problems with the Ticket Office at all - get yourself in the Itchen corner mate.

CHELSEA will loan Kevin de Bruyne to Southampton to gain Premier League experience. Midfielder De Bruyne, 20, joined from Genk for £7m in January.

Would be happy with this!

I'm liking this one - nothing "gay" about it! If we're going for the mainly red shirt this would be a lot better then the Forest / Arse / Scouse shirt. Would look good with the large White "V" collar with Black shorts and red / white socks.

I equated it to when we signed Niemi. Jones was a decent keeper and gave us good service, but Niemi came in a took us onto a whole new level with some of his brilliance. Jones was a liability - we should never have got rid of my Maik Taylor - Dave Jones didn't have a clue. Agree about Niemi - another level when not playing at Fratton Park.

Glad Bolton went down, as mentioned before as QPR is another easy away game to get to. Shame Wigan didn't go down as well. Also glad the Moan U fans had to suffer today - still remember the ****s when they sent us down 7 years ago.

No thanks - I'd rather Bolton went down and QPR stayed up - It's another easier away game to get to. Also want WHam to go up too.

Yeah someone like Jordan Rhodes at Huddersfield 36 goals this season?

Wish I was!
