I would be putting Sims on the bench at least. Fulham’s defence is awful, pace and plenty of crosses into the box should give us a bloody good chance.

I’ve said it before but Stephens would probably be a decent holding midfielder, he is NOT a central defender and probably never will be.

:lol: Brilliant

thats because they are awful

Sorry but you have to blame the manager for picking Stephens. When Yoshida went away with Japan RH talked about losing “one of my best players “ ......so fkin pick him over that clown.

Has Ralph not got the fkin message about Stephens yet ? Third game running !!!!

I can only assume he is doing what he did against Man City at Christmas with his eye on the next game.

wish I could see why RH is sticking by Stephens

I'm pretty sure he would have gone earlier had it not been for that terrible helicopter tragedy Leicester suffered

We aren't good enough in defence to park the bus against a team like Arsenal for 90 minutes, especially if Stephens plays and decides to put his arm up to hail a fkin taxi in the penalty area !

Yes to both points, what we have now isnt choice its circumstances.

It would have been vital had Cardiff won Friday night. A point would see us out the bottom three, that would be a bonus.

It’s a good, honest interview that. What with Forster’s situation as well it shows footballers are only human as well despite all the trappings that go with it. Not my favourite player but fair play to him and hopefully he will continue in the right mindset.

It’s us or Cardiff for that 3rd spot, simple as that. We need to take one more point than Cardiff, that’s all, that’s the goal. Surely we can do that.......can’t we ?

It was yes.

Umm, not exactly, he's said if you get relegated you can expect to lose your job. The rest is down to interpretation IMO

yep

given its the Cup Final at Wembley a couple of hours later i'm surprised it isnt earlier as well to be honest.

He was yeah. Pretty sure he ended up at Newcastle at some point - possibly in Keegan's days there?

Oh I don’t know about that, he wasn’t that bad. He’s no Ollie Lancashire, Lee Todd, Allan Bennett.......

This is assuming we stay up of course....

I look forward to that starting then - would help if he communicated with the fans for a start !

dont ever stop cleaning the windows of your ivory tower will you ! supporters treatment of him has been no worse, or better, than his attitude on the pitch most of the time. I’ve never ever seen a player wearing a Saints shirt who has been so quick to blame everyone but himself when he screws up. He’s having a good spell, he had one under Puel as well. But it has to last more than a couple of months

its the getting past Spurs and only being 3/4 points behind Cardiff, Burnley or Brighton that concerns me most otherwise yeah fair enough.

Thats true, having said that pity Stephens hadn’t gone more gung ho and launched the bloody thing instead of that almost square pass to nobody in a red and white shirt.
