we have defensive coaching ???

Did Ralph pick him in order to win a bet? Among our totally inept 5 central defenders he is the worst by a long way.

I know Jimmy Case is in his sixties now but **** me he would still **** all over our current midfield. JWP is a fraud of a footballer living off of this fabled dead ball delivery skill that every pundit in the world seems quite happy to perpetuate. He trots around like a bloody ponce.

This is Ralph’s vision, he wanted a small squad to work with and he’s got it so why do so many of you expect wholesale changes?

well 2, I’m not counting Valery and Stephens

I dont disagree and im not being funny but who else is there ? Slattery ? Dont think so !

exactly. Should have been a weeks wages, they wouldnt miss it and they could have split it between four or five charitites inc the Foundation.

yeah please name them. This talk has been going on since Puel so who’s still there ? Bertrand, Redmond, Yoshida, Cedric, Long, Romeu, Hjoberg and Davis on the coaching staff. I can’t see it being Yoshida, Romeu or Long....

Does she still go ? If so I really hope she was there Friday night

The Krueger bit is interesting. I wonder why they got rid all of a sudden? Was he questioning things they wanted to do, or not do mores the point ? Im still not getting what Gao is getting from owning this club. If its to get a foothold into the city of Southampton there must be easier/cheaper ways to do it ?

Why do so many want Vokins to make his debut away to City? Seriously? Look how Danso has had the confidence ripped out of him. Now some of you want to do it to another kid? Ffs. Let the ****s that played, sorry, were on the pitch Friday night take it on the chin.

Give me strength Lee Todd, Scott Marshall, Stuart Ripley to name but three of his great signings !

The manager wanted a small squad to work with. Well he’s got it. Problem is it’s a small squad with limited ability. Take the full backs, if Cedric is out for another week and with Bertrand suspended who the **** plays right and left back next week? Not Valery after last night surely? But who else is there ?

I’ve said it before but is Kelvin Davis really fit to be anywhere near a Premier League or Championship side even as a coach? He has zero experience, how the hell do you get to where he is on a wing and a prayer. As for Watson..........

They can’t sack him even if they wanted to for the simple reason there is absolutely nobody at the club at boardroom level who knows a single thing about football. They wouldn’t have a clue where to start the job of finding a new manager.

How was Dave on Radio Solent after that shambles then?

Not only are we playing 3 centre halves but we have another two on the bench just for good measure. So five centre backs, all average to crap in varying degrees, in the 18 man match squad.....at home !!!!

Good to see JWP getting yet another chance to shine, more importantly the Sky commentary team can wet themselves over his tremendous dead ball skills

Got home from school a couple of hours after the announcement and my Dad said "you'll never guess who Saints have just signed" I remember my guess was Trevor Francis

At present VAR is currently a tool to check offsides and possibly catch an elbow or high tackle that the ref doesnt see. This business of not over ruling the ref makes it a complete farce, what was it Shearer said last night ? Over 90 matches so far this season and not one single penalty decision overturned and not once has the ref trotted across to the screen to check his decision. And lets face it some of them have been blatant errors, the Watford one yesterday being a case in point. So if you arent going to use it to correct the ref then it might as well just be renamed "offside checker"

Well in the system played yesterday he doesnt, simple as that. And less likely when Djnepo is fit simply because he is a better attacking option before any smart arse looks up and says "hes not a centre forward" !

absolutely this. Has anyone ever put in a bid for him? I very much doubt it.

To be positive at least Jack Stephens hasn’t been tried again. Apart from that, it’s a poor team again.

I want to see the team sheet before feeling hopeful about that. I wonder where JWP will be squeezed in this time? The bench hopefully.

you want us to carry on with this **** in charge ?
