How about this is a forum for people to express their views freely without being ridiculed, dismissed etc. The match reaction thread is exactly that a reaction. Some people will over react others will not - its their choice. God next people will be saying we should all be earining the same amount and eating the same amount. Having different views is what keeps these forums going. It creates debate. At the end of the day all we all want is for Southampton to win. In this together, thick and thin. COYFR

Are you really trying to alienate your self as a complete prat - because it is working. You are so 2011.

Can we appeal the red card?

Mate, this is great as it works on the ipad and iphone. Thanks bud.

Be interesting to see what happens now. I m sure the clubs objective had changed from top 10. Especially after holding top spot for half a season. Can we appeal the red card? I think a few signings are required no doubt and I feel that we should do it now rather waiting.

Nuns!,

Ffs it is obvious that none of you are keepers. You can not expect the keeper to hold on to all shots. Routine ones maybe. But not all. Give it a rest. How many times has Davis kept us in a game before? Countless times

Not surprised

I wonder if we will appeal the red card

funny game is football when bottom teams beat the top teams. I hear it even happens in the Premier league some times. Blackburn away to Man Utd and win 3-2.

I personally would play Holmes on the left de Ridder on on the right and leave Adam on the bench and give home a rest. Yu can always bring him on later in the game.

I did mean RB for Holmes. No way on Gods earth did we match their work rate. They were constantly in our faces. We struggled to pass the ball around because they pretty much were like bull dogs harrasing all the time yet when they had the ball we seem to let them play the ball around. Was it even? Not even close. Check the stats and you will see how much posession they had.

Right my turn. I sat in Itchen North. Forget about league position this is MATCH REACTION post. Firstly i thought thet Brizzle fans were excellent, never stopped singing and were really creating noise tonight, credit to them. The team put out tonight really surpised me. I thought that there could and probably should have been more changes to keep things fresh , we didnt. Concidering we have game on Monday. Brizzle came out on us and didnt let up at all. they closed down, they hassled, they hussled us. and when they regained the ball, they pased it around, in my opinion with ease and we let them. We never matched their work rate from start to finish. I thought that they wouldnd be able to keep it all game, but they did and credit to them for it. This isnt the first time this has happened. Our players couldnt string passes together and therefore deserve low scores for their performance. Our defence is propbably theonly positive that I can take out of the game. KD excellent saves shame the rebound went to their player. But they made that happen because of the above. Their midfeild won them the game today wirthout a doubt and if they could score more they would be nowhere near the bottom. Lambert - I really felt for him. No protecrion what so ever from the ref I cant remember such in inept performance from a ref. credit goes to RL for not getting wound up enough to get himself booked or ven worse sent off. James - a couple of very good saves kept them in it - again! Guly - If I had had a Sniper rifle -nuff said. Subs - Way too late and why bring off AL and put on Connolly. Surely it would have made more sence ton put Holmes on as a direct replacement. Connoly i get but not for AL. And when we do bring Holmes he goes to Left Back!! Surely Harding would have been the better option!! Any way like I said at the beginningthis is not about where we are in the league this is about being outplayed and reffed tonight. Five positves NA. Not sure.

3.5 mill and Hudders turned it down. Fair play to them.

Personally i think that both of them (JOKES) have really really passed their sell by date. Whoever comes in - if any, I will get behind them 100%. COYR we have had an amazing 2011, lets kick on and make 2012 just as successful.

TBH i am amazed this has managed to get to 2 pages.

I have never been to a boxing day game with a great atmosphere.

his knee popped out again according to NA feel gutted fr him and us of course.

Sorry mate, you lost me. What did I miss? ignore - just heard it. gutted for chappers

Yeah baby yeah. Guly from a De Ridd cross

Merry Christmas to one and all. It has been an amazing 2011 what ever anyone says that can never be forgotten. We have lost a true Saint in Markus but gained a legacy that will last forever. Here is hoping that 2012 brings further celebration both on and off the pitch. COYR

Better than a free header! And there is always the chance that te keeper makes the save!

This is what NA said. ""We've got in 11 in there so go and win the header, go and win the second ball, defend the goal with your lives and you win and pick up points. "We'll learn the lessons from the game, we needed to defend that goal better and individually you've got to have the desire to go and head the football. End of
