Yes, three very different goals. The classic striker back to the goal turn and shoot, dribble past players before excellent finish and long range inch perfect lob. Maybe being pre-premier league era is a factor as well as being little old Saints means it doesn’t get more coverage.

Amazing to know that the best Saints player in my lifetime, my boyhood hero, was loyal to our club throughout his career and then scored the last ever goal at the Dell. As David Baddiel would say, Matt Le Tissier is quite simply unbelievable.

Yes, I seem to remember something about the in-laws. And we had someone on here, a Luton fan from Southampton (or something like that), who gave us great detail about Jones , how good he was, how tech savvy he was that he used a PowerPoint to woo players into signing.

We drew his first home game. Can’t remember if he was in charge for an away game before that.

Wasn’t some of it homesickness and he changed his mindset after being released though?

We managed to sign someone on loan that couldn’t get into or improve the worst team in the league. Ridiculous.

Because he’s not a good enough coach/manager. The team don’t look physically fit and seem to have no idea of the game plan, what they are supposed to be doing and his substitutions make us worse.

Even Juric beat Swansea and Martin as well 5-0. I don’t think it’s a huge ask for a Southampton manager to beat them.

Play 4-3-3 to add another striker and we’ve got “score a goal Neil Shipperley”

I remember having that feeling with Pellegrino very early on. When things just don’t feel right, likewise I’m happy to be wrong on this but like Jones did, Still has had a long time to prepare the team and we’re not seeing any sign of things improving. The players don’t seem any fitter, they don’t seem well drilled on roles, set pieces not well planned, where is the high press we were told about. Pochettino came in at a time when nearly every fan was baffled by the appointment but we could see what he was trying to do in his first game. It would look terrible if the club got rid of another manager so I can’t see them doing it but if the players aren’t responding and we know how good a number of them are at this level then it’s got to be the manager unfortunately.

One being that we went to the top of the Premier League.

In 3 games: Sunderland have got half, Leeds a third and Burnley a quarter of our 38 game points tally.

Remember the away end singing "we're only here for a season," when we took the lead against Luton. Can't recall us ever really troubling the promotion spots that season. Were we ever in the playoff picture?

Apologies if posted elsewhere but does anyone know how Ipswich sales are going?

Stephen O’Halloran was a strange one, from Villa, seemed to be linked to a promotion for the U21s game ROI England at St Mary’s.
