Probably did seeing as he can’t take criticism.

Makes you wonder how close he really was to heading to Ipswich in the summer. Presumably Martin convinced him in the end to come. What a complete bellend, he’s been utterly wank this season. It’s the club that pays your transfer fee and wages over a bumper contract, not the manager you odious toad. Complete disrespect to the fanbase and shows how weak willed he is.

Players, manager, coaches - all of them can leave.

I’d be flogging every game possible out of Ramsdale, on the basis he will be gone in the summer anyway. Might as well get our moneys worth.

I thought the same.

Wonder if there’s any baggies players we could use in exchange? That’s the only way I’d be able to see them affording him in the summer. Think we wanted Fellows before but he seems to have prem suitors.

Surely this was the whole purpose of the loan, for him to get regular game time and play well, ahead of next season. Job well done so far.

Did he work with Mowbray at Blackburn?

Of course, and the recruitment has massively contributed to that.

BBD - loaned out Edwards - loaned out Downes - sulking, pining, linked with move away but staying for now Cornet - loan cancelled Archer - not playing, linked with move away but staying for now Taylor - not playing, linked with move away but no one seemingly that interested Arma - new contract in summer, now being loaned out Lallana - can barely play 10mins Fraser - barely makes a squad Sugawara - pretty crap SAA - promising youngster sold What a disaster.

Agreed, hopefully the new DoF (if he ever gets appointed) will start with the overhaul of the scouting department. First stop, see what the Brightons scouts are up to after they got binned for AI.

Can’t see Spurs spending the money we’d want for TD, especially in January and on a player who isn’t the finished article.

Good point, missed that.

No Downes at all? Injured again or sulking? (Or is he suspended and I’ve totally missed that)

I’m not sure it’s a case of Dragan ‘showing some balls’, more about balancing the books which every relegated team has had to do.

In a comparable situation to last seasons teams, pretty sure Sheffield Utd beat Luton away 3-1 with three shots on target (including an Archer goal). #believe

Fck me, is this SaintsWeb or Mumsnet?!

Ipswich 1-3 Southampton. Chris Marsden to turn into Maradonna.

Errr… have you watched us at all this season?

Nutshell.

‘If it ain’t broke, consider breaking it’ has turned into ‘just be broken’

As bad as our options are currently, they are all proven goalscorer’s at a certain level. Armstrong / Archer Championship, TP foreign leagues. DB hasn’t proven himself prolific at anything other than u21 level. Not torn it up on loan in league one. Also not shown himself to necessarily be physically ready for full time men’s football (but unlucky with injuries too). Hopefully he turns into a brilliant player, but he’s also just as likely to be another Ryan Seager. As Dusic says, hopefully this loan does the business and he hits the ground running in pre-season, but nothing to suggest he should be chucked into the bear pit of the premier league.

Don’t think it matters personally. The ones that want to go will be sold because we need the cash, the ones that stay will either be because we need them at Championship level / no-one else wants them.

They’ve got a great chance of being next years Ipswich.
