Get a good fee for THB and move on. Frankly I won’t be broken hearted. |  | |  |

It’s a huge blow We now need TWO proven CBs in asap or that’s us done for You can’t get promotion with an error prone back 4 |  | |  |

Rather depends what your definition of moving on is Grumps. Move the money on to buy a proven replacement or move the money into Sports Republic’s bank account ? I hope it’s the former but wouldn’t be in the least surprised if it turns out to be the latter, given that last season’s tomfoolery cost us promotion and the parachute payments are fast approaching their end.

Have you tried looking at Villa's squad? |  | |  |
| Saints V Stoke Matchday Thread on 14:37 - Aug 22 with 3813 views | dirk_doone | To be fair to him, he's too good to waste another year of his career in the Championship and I'm sure his father-in-law would have told him that. But, we'll struggle to replace him. He's not only our best defender but he's also our main goalscoring threat at corners. He scored as many goals as Scienza last season. |  |

| Saints V Stoke Matchday Thread on 17:01 - Aug 22 with 3372 views | 1885_SFC | Left it late - very late - but well done Saints. Off the mark and that points deduction is almost gone. Just hoping we get at least two or three quality additions before the window closes now & move on the dead wood if possible. I'm putting all my faith in you Mr Spors! Gotta love a weekend though when Saints win. |  |

| Saints V Stoke Matchday Thread on 17:06 - Aug 22 with 3348 views | saintpaz | Much better 2nd half, Stoke didn't have a shot on target I don't believe and great to see Mubama on target too. Hammers, Leicester and Midds all lost too, which is nice. Bring on West Spam and Millwall this week and hopefully some signings as we all know |  | |  |

That’s how I feel. Always makes a weekend when we win . Even better when WestHam lose as well, bragging rights for me 😀 |  | |  |

We've now gone 7 months undefeated at Fortress St. Mary's. A characteristic of top teams is that they often score late goals. Mubama's St Mary's debut was like Larin's: a stunner. He comes on and scores with just about his first touch. [Post edited 22 Aug 18:56]

I remember when we were a team that nearly always lost, we looked good for much of the game then collapsed in the final minutes. Eckert knows how to win games. |  |

| Saints V Stoke Matchday Thread on 19:00 - Aug 22 with 3033 views | Southamptonfan | Just back from the game. Thank f@ck we won that. So important to get that first win off our back. Great goal from Mubama. Not a perfect performance, but good signs that we piled on the pressure in the final ten minutes and won the game. Need to get a replacement for THB and a midfielder. Saints fans were superb today. [Post edited 22 Aug 19:01]

Yeah, we saw that today. Good subs and Eckert gets the job done. |  |

This is true That’s a game we would have only drawn in times before Another error from stephens resulting in a goal though diving in and getting left for dust I liked the way fans all cheered when the cheating Chant came out that’s the best way to respond Another win next week but that will be a tough game |  | |  |
| Saints V Stoke Matchday Thread on 19:40 - Aug 22 with 2910 views | shotters | Really enjoyed the last 5 minutes, can't say I enjoyed much of the rest of it We looked rather disjointed and a work in progress which is understandable due to the current circumstances As the game went on I was expecting Stoke to win it Subs changed the game and some Divin intervention, great finish Nothing better than pinching the three points late on and the penalty in injury time was icing on the cake 3-1 to the cheating scum UTFS |  |

Saints fans were superb, there wasn't much noise in the first half and the team seemed disjointed. Come the second and the crowd really upped the noise levels which definitely fired up the team. More intent, more pressure and the goals came. Good substitutions from Tonda made the difference. |  |

Quality at the end , thankfully . It did feel like we would get a late winner the way the game was going as many a time you could feel it going the other way (in the past) I was moaning about the ref and some of the decisions...but i think he more than balanced it out with not punishing captain jack for the goalkeeper incident, (which in years gone by would have been a red for him) the penalty and sending off . which baring in mind i was in the northam , it looked offside AND outside the box .But obviously we will take it as it makes up for one of very many that have gone against us over the last few seasons . Its just a shame we couldn't "bank it" and use it next Saturday instead |  |
