I said this on the match thread in midweek - But Still FREQUENTLY played the 3 at the back at Lens - in fact almost always so no idea where his love for 4231 came from because he barely ever played it.

 

Thus it was a WS thing; not a SR thing for anyone believing otherwise.

 

But Eckert needs to drop it - its an awful watch especially at home to Wednesday.

FFS!

Ye gods. 3at the back. Square pegs in round holes. I’m wondering how the MF will line up? Is it a 541? 3241? Suppose it doesn’t matter as Manning just does what he wants (which never seems to be defending properly).

Barnaby Williams, U-21 midfielder. He is in the squad because Cameron Bragg has a hamstring issue, as per yesterday's presser. By my calculation, the following are still injured: Charles, Jelert, Fraser, Stewart, Archer & Edozie. Welington is serving the last match of his suspension. So even using the rest of the outfield squad, there is a spare place on the bench. On Wednesday it was Bragg. today it is Williams. I am surprised that Sesay wasn't used as he did well in preseason and has been playing well for the U-21s, but he was kept with the U-21's for last night's draw with Arsenal.

Agreed, the absence of Sesay since pre season is really odd.

It'll be the same as always, 5 defenders, 2 overrun CMs, 3 up front unable to press as not enough support. I don't know why the f*** anyone at the club thinks this is working as it really hasn't been for weeks.

This is the baffling part. 
 

How can professional coaches and managers be looking at our performances with this formation and thinking “yeah more of that please, worked really well so far”

In all honesty we really need a convincing win today. Sheffield Wednesday have had heart in a difficult situation but they are working with a skeleton crew and if there's any team we beat on paper it's them. A dominant 3-0 could do wonders for momentum.

Over to you Tonda.

Let’s just hope for another fortunate three points…..give Eckhart a pat on the back and a medal of some sort, and send him back to look after the u/21s.

It's patently obvious why Robinson is not starting: he was cramping up in the week after working his socks off. 

I think some of you on here must think the players are automatons..

He only played 66 mins. He should be able to play another 60 mins today.

Been to a zillion home and away matches nobody asks me to take off my sFC tags. Fucking world’s gone mad. Told new ruling. I just said that’s not happening and went straight through. Stay tuned to see if I’m chucked out ST revoked ... For supporting saints….🤨

Pretty sure this is why there's so much speculation about Cap'n Jack or someone else calling the shots as it just doesn't seem to make any sense...

Sorry I dont understand- what is the objection to Saints stickers? Are they deemed “hate stickers” or something?????

There should be more players called Barnaby. 

Now we've completed the double barrelled surnames, we should move on to upper class first names.

Are there any Tarquins in the under 21s?

Well aren't they colour coded per match, signifying your bag has been checked and nothing dodgy in it.

I can see where the stewards are coming from. Maybe not so much if they have checked your bag and still being dicks.

Perhaps they’ll sack Mousinho, and take GON back to his spiritual home.

Oh for goodness sake.

To spend £60m+ and be putting out.... that. It's just absurd. 

I actually can't be bothered type out everything wrong with that abortion. 

And despite having a squad the size of Poland we've somehow still managed to have an appalling bench. 

Let's just say we're a fucking mess of a club and leave it at that. 

If Brendan Rodgers is genuinely interested in coming to sort out this shit show then fair play to him, and we should be snapping his arm off at the shoulder.

Looks like the new guy understands the ‘Southampton Way’:

Baz in goal

Stephen’s in defence 

Five at the back

Cm overrun 

Small guy up front on his own

My only concern is that he hasn’t started with Downs but hopefully he can get him on swiftly for a full house

Snippets from ITKs reckon Ekart is a favourite amongst some/all at Board level.

Just would be fantastic if he got the job, right?

As Trotsky once said, the Party is always right'. Tonda tows the party line, definitely an SR favourite.

Was it Valery that nearly got the OG?

Yup. Got him down as a guaranteed scorer but not expecting it in his own net.

Oh Arma - terrible dive.
