If you had said at the start of the season that at the beginning of 2017 we would be in 9th place and in a cup semi-final, I'd have been happy with that, and I think most fans would have been too. Nothing rose tinted about that at all, those are the facts. Too many are losing all sense of perspective and want us to be like Swansea who sack our manager after every 10 games.

Unfortunately there are too many people like him on here who desperately want Puel to fail. They are not true supporters of Southampton.

The fact that two teams (three if you include West Ham) had European football whereas Liverpool and Chelsea do not, has helped their league positions and has possibly had an impact on ours. Anyway, it could be worse, we could be Watford

Some of you are really clueless. We will not be sacking Puel anytime soon. Our key players didn't perform on Wednesday and were dreadful in the second half. Tactically, we were set up fine. We were well on top in the first half, and they got lucky. Second half was dreadful, and I blame the players, not the manager.

That's b*llocks and you know it is. We're not a sacking club, and we won't be sacking him anytime soon, especially since we are in the top half of the table and in a cup semi-final, so get used to it.

PUEL IS NOT GOING TO BE SACKED AND HE IS NOT THE PROBLEM Our key players need to start performing. Sacking Puel is not going to solve those problems.

Forster has been poor for quite some time now.

Considering how deep West Brom are defending, we've created quite a lot. Pulis won't be happy, that's for sure. They're very fortunate to be level.

I think we either need to look at replacing the goalkeeper coach or replacing Forster. Something clearly isn't right.

We've been so superior to them. We will get the win.

Nigel Adkins is at St Mary's today

Steven Davis against Bournemouth?

Turkish on tour

Rotated squad entirely necessary and sensible from Puel. Good team, we will win.

Win tomorrow and we'll go level on points with them

Top nutjobbery tonight at Yeovil

Hull currently winning against Everton

Behave. We will control possession, that's the easy part. The problem is converting that into chances and goals.

I saw a couple on the West Brom forum. They genuinely think that we are going to try and park the bus against them

That last one was a joke in response to all the negative posts

We will win by at least three goals.

Presumably people want us to be like Swansea who sack their manager every so often. That's really working out for them...

Pulis will park the bus. I think we'll win this 1-0.

If we lose on Saturday, then I'm afraid we won't allow you to ever attend a match again... Just kidding. Always great to see new fans, especially from so far away. I went to an MLS game in the summer (Timbers v Sounders) and the experience was very different from an English game. Also, I was very surprised at just how knowledgeable the fans were over there. Unfortunately due to money I can't go as often as one would like, but for me, one of the best feelings is walking down Britannia Road with the wafting scent of the burger vans hanging in the air.
