One key thing this Saints team has been lacking—season after season—is strong mentality and real leadership. It's been our undoing. We fold like deckchairs on the Titanic whenever we're under pressure. One goal against us, and the heads drop—it’s been the story for too long. When you look at this team, the glaring issue is physicality. We’ve got a squad of absolute midgets, and it shows. Forget everything else—next season, the first priority has to be building a strong spine. We need two absolute units at centre-back, with height and presence, and a no-nonsense, tackle-first defensive midfielder like Romeu. The real tough calls come if we’re aiming for promotion. We need players who can hit the ground running and perform at Premier League level right away. It won’t be easy. Take Adam Armstrong—he’s great in the Championship, but we need a ruthless streak. Once promotion’s secured, we thank them for their service and upgrade to proper Premier League players. If we make it to the Premier League, enough with the tinkering and trying to be clever. We need to be ready to spend £20-30 million on quality each signing, not scraping the barrel. Either we invest properly and make a solid push to stay in the Premier League, or we yo-yo, break up the squad, and rinse and repeat. It's that simple. If promotion is the goal—and you'd assume it is—we're going to need to invest heavily to establish ourselves as a Premier League regular. There's no other way. Shortcuts and being clever won't hack it.....

Rafael Benítez what's he up to?

Rohl or Still I'd be happy with get it done.

Good morning, Saints fans. Who should we realistically be targeting for next season? Who would you love to see come in? For me, it’s clear we’re crying out for some height, strength, and a proper no-nonsense Roneu-type character to give us a strong spine. I look at players like Smallbone—technically sound, but he just feels too lightweight at times. So, what do you think? Where do we need to strengthen most, and which realistic signings would make a real difference?

Tell Rasmus to fcuk off to Goztepe sharpish!

You gotta Rohl with it!

Get Rafa in

So why isn't Lallana playing? Is he injured? Past it? Surely he could offer us something

Yep some of our business has been ridiculous....

Keep: Bazunu, Edwards, Charles, Fernandes, Edozie, Manning, Archer, ( possibly Onuachu ) Recall Amo, Buy: Two centre backs, no nonsense tough tackling with height and presence. Def Mid: destroyer Romeu type Wingers: two pacy prospects Striker: Someone who can finish Sell the rest

Couldn't give a shit to be honest Bring on the Championship

Was a stupid move letting him and Meghoma go......

50 million or piss off it's that simple

Bring back Ralph and Rohl and give them both free regin over transfer decisions and tactics.

Agreed 👍 Reset the whole squad, get maximum amount of money we can. Tyler dibs wants to go get the best deal done. Same for Ramsdale, KWP, Bellis,Etc Stephens, Beds, Kotchap, Time for a change. Tell the likes of Smallbone either buik up or piss off.. Armstrong If be wants to stay keep for championship only. Tell Ross Stewart to retire. New manager in Cooper, Rohl, Rosenior. New coaches First point of attention building a spine, We want a couple of absolute tough tackling no nonsense units. Attributes such as height, physical presence and strength. Next a proper Romeu replacement, again no nonsense straight in with the boots no pissing about leader. Midfield wise again, get some height and straight in the engine. And a new striker, possibly keep Archer.

One of the best talents we have had for a while. Be mad to let him go for less than 40 million.....

I'm gonna go with Rohl in: Ings on a free Tyler Dibs to Spuds

Positive most of this shit squad will be sold, hopefully the manager will f##k off aswell....

Yes let's get battered 10-0 each week 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Danny Ings ?

liam rosenior or Rohl I reckon

Watched the game yesterday. Saw the lineup—and was utterly baffled. It felt like we waved the white flag before a ball was even kicked. Yesterday against Wolves was the perfect chance to take a step away from that dreaded Derby record—but instead, we bottled it. What’s with the insistence on not playing strikers? Why do we keep hiring managers who refuse to play players in their best positions? What’s the explanation? Am I missing something? Feels like we overcomplicate everything for no reason—and we’re paying the price for it. Why are we playing five at the back against one of the worst teams on paper? Why the overly cautious approach? It’s Wolves, not Real Madrid. We set up like we were terrified—and it showed. Why is the manager laying into Mateus? One of the few bright sparks yesterday—and one of the shining lights in an otherwise abysmal season. Targeting him feels completely misplaced. Focus should be elsewhere. How many times was Sulemana dispossessed with ease or caught running into dead ends down the channels? Yet it’s Mateus getting the stick? Make it make sense. That’s what happens when you don’t play strikers. The fans saw it. Why didn’t the manager? He should’ve been thinking “Whoops, what have I done?” and got a striker on immediately. But once again—too slow to react. Where do we even go from here? I’ve seen enough of this clown at the helm. Week after week—same mistakes, no accountability, no progress. I think we have got worse……… 30-odd years supporting Southampton—and I’ve never felt so detached from a squad. No pride. No heart. No passion. Just a group of individuals going through the motions. Honestly, I wouldn’t care if we reset the whole lot and started from scratch. Something has to change—this isn’t our Southampton.

Well, you have to hand it to Sports Republic—they’ve managed to appoint a coach as bad as, if not worse than, Martin and Jones combined... You really can’t make this up, can you? I’d seen enough of him five games ago. Baffling squad selections, a stubborn refusal to start strikers, in must win games… what an absolute twonk. 🤡 International break now—time to send him packing. Stick Rusk and Lallana in for the rest of the season, at least build some cohesion, and make sure we don’t touch that Derby record.
