Comfortable really, should've done better in some situations and still going backwards from good positions too much but decent overall. Think Peretz is a step up in keeper but not by as much as we'd hoped, but hopefully still a bit rusty...like him talking to his defence more. One moan...stop having everyone back for corners. We're causing our own problems by congesting the six yard box making it more difficult for Danny to come out and claim. Keep people forward forcing the opposition to keep people back!

Utter garbage! Not much more you can say. The Saganowski effect seen here again...bright, flowing football, contract given and back to the risk adverse, slow plodding backwards themed football. So glad I'm too far away to ever be tempted to get a season ticket.

So glad I decided to spend the afternoon playing darts in the garage with my wife than watching this tergid dross. Time better spent I think!

Similar thoughts as everyone else I suspect... 1. THB and Wood marking no one for the goal 2. Stop faffing around at the back, play forward 3. THB, stop falling over, play football man 4. Stop the attempted sh*thousing Manning, play football man 5. Why take so long with throw-ins, just allowing them to get into shape Overall, shocking from Saints! 🙁

Bart? 😁

Genuinely, midfield steel at 34, 43 or WGS would improve this shit arse squad. Has he really, genuinely signed?

Wish there was a decent Manager SIM on PS4 🙁

Just go out, attack, put the ball in the ole onion sack and have a bit of fun...go enjoy yourselves!

Oh for Ralf...or Ronald...or Mauricio...or even Claude!

Perfect night in!

Preston are a top side and we're lucky to be playing them. Should be able to grab a draw, unless they go down to 10, then we're fooked! Bring back the 4-2-4 and just outscore them....please!

I know a decent blog that starts with that. Can't remember the last bit though. 😁

On a train back from Manchester currently, sorry, did I read that we took Scienza off for Stephens here? A joke surely?! 😲

My thing is washing up, suspect that's Jacks input as well.

4-4-f'in-2....though I'm not sure who the 2 could be 😂

I wouldn't be so sure...think they're still likely to catch us 😉

Dyche already taken now, only trendy and fashionable left....unless Big Sam fancies it (he won't) Whats Wee Gordon up to?

Same here. Utter atrocious. Losing Stewart and Quarshie has really hurt us. THB should be dropped, mouthy and a horrible/nasty streak that means he'll always get cards and just isn't any good. Lucky to stay on the pitch after leaving his foot in on Twine.

Macca MotM for me, some excellent saves, good punches and good kicking. Great performance! Scienza is not right for this team. Too forward thinking, too positive, always looking to shoot. That's not the Southampton way. You always, always look to the side and/or behind you first. Driving forward and shooting is an absolute final, final option. Nothing will come from it. We march...backwards or sideways, usually!

Just F'in smash it! You're not MLT, more Lambert material. Hit it on target with power, make the keeper do something as it flies at their head.

Think people are being harsh on Quarshie. For me, he's better than THB and Stephens and thought their goal was hit so well in the only place it could go for a goal, giving their player some credit. Came from losing the ball further up the pitch, and Quarshie forcing the player wide, which is what you'd expect. But, I've not seen it back. Shout out to Wee man who came on, looked great up front on the right and then dropped to LB and was tenacious in everything he did. Superb performance! Wood MoM for me by a mile. Just good to be heading home with 3 points (& 4 pints tucked away). Obviously pleased for Ross as well, first looked scrappy (who cares) but the second in real time looked class! Stills decision to take off Fellows and Azaz at HT were questioned in the stadium, but...it worked! Maybe, just maybe... Up the Saints

Wood immense, best player on the pitch, Quarshie not as good but a great pairing. Nervy but deserved!

...and throw it away with goals in the 91st, 92nd and 94th minute? 😉

What's Big Sam up to these days 😉

I'm hoping to get to the Sheff Utd game. Live in Nottm so gutted the Derby one has sold out (expected) but fingers crossed that we can get general sale tickets for Sheff. Likely to be the only game I can get to and I'll be able to get tickets for this season in the Midlands.
