With you on this one bud,one of our better talented players,now will help another team - but if he feels that he is not wanted - would anyone want to stay??? - another unnecessary move , in my opinion ......... let's hope RM .... will mould an exciting team - for all our fans to be proud of , if we have any players left that is ? |

Never been a fan of ZM - It requires certain types of defenders - to all work in unison .... and a great many just get confused, and appear to be saying " what ZONE am I supposed to be defending? Then you see arguments between defenders about WHO was supposed to pick up the oppersitions goalscorer !!!!!! .......... Pat from Poole is spot on .......... with man to man ALL defenders should know what to do , and marry up according to height - and is very simple to operate. |

Let it be true - that Ipswich are interested in the signing of Adam Armstrong..... Let's face it - every time he gets the ball - he endangers of not hitting the back of the net .... but row Z OR the corner flags - how the hell he started on friday night ahead of the others ,is a puzzle - but he did score .......... How unfair ! that was , the slightest touches, trying to get out of the way of Tellas shot's , taking the strike away from him.... basaare !!!! So small - therefore limited chance of scoring with headers but ...... One area I do applaud in him --- is that he does run a lot ......... but unfortunately , not intelligent runs to distract defenders , to open up space for our other forwards. Apparently he is valued at £8 mill , half of that would be extremely good business in my opinion. |

THANK YOU Bowlercow ............If that is fact ... then no point in discussing any further. |

I appreciate what you're saying ... But Tella is in form and scoring goals for fun NOW ! ...... For only 10 games , what harm would it do? ..... just to see ? If you're not sure, bring him on from the bench ! --- yes he could be a flop !!!! But can you see anyone in our existing team , who would be regularly score goals? We desperately NEED goals NOW His transfer figure is going up with every game - just suppose he comes back and scores a hatful of goals , in the prem ,would increase his value even further ..... A win - win situation. |

The exact situation with regard to Nathan Tella's loan contract ? If you had a choice of playing Adam Armstrong ( runs a lot ) , or including a Striker in red hot form Nathan Tella ( Latest another 3 GOALS v Hull ! He alone has scored 17 -- when all of our existing whole team effort amounts to 23 ) .............. Yes I know all about the " Championchip is not Premiership standard ) but strickers strive on confidence -- Would it be any risk of bringing Tella back and include him in our last 10 premiership games ? |

I have always thought, that a knee slide , was asking for trouble - but they will still carry on.... madness or mindless, and with you with A.A why play him? Will we ever get a settled winning side ? Who has the hat to put the names in? Anyway the 3 pooints - has given us more time. |

Correct no leadership what so ever - you know what will happen how - a 1-5-4 -1 formation , sit back - and let the foxes shit all over us ... and loose 3-1. I cannot see us being positve, which we should be doing. |

Apparently ! Maybe he sees pointers in certain players that we can't ..... so disappointed as I would love to prove those Sky sports pundits totally wrong - as everyone one of them ,pridicks at lunchtime that Saints will go down ..... things DO NOT encourage, we DO NEED a lot of luck. I can't see us improoving - but let's see. |

Same here Butty, he does talk a lot of meaningless drivel ,the last few games have drained what enthusiasm and positiveness that I had of Saints having a good finish to this season .......... is the thinking that now we're out the cup, we can solely concentrate on the league - What a Pathetic attitude ! I would not be surprised if we go with a 1 - 6 - 3 - 1 formation tomorrow - just to see if they could " nick a point ", as the players , or management do not seem , to have a clue ! I will still be hoping that someone , somewhere -- comes up with a successful formula, even by accident - to save us from total humiliation , even if we flook a win -- we now NEED lots of luck! And I will be delighted with 3 points, and for me hope Macarthy retains the jersey. |

Exactly - just had to look at O'neils situation at Cherries .. went 6 games without loosing ... give him the perminant position -- went downhill from there on. |

So RIGHT WinchesterExile , Our Players have to show that they really want to win ... It's called DESIRE - All we have seen of late is diarrhea! . to me they havn't got a clue - what they are supposed to do . And should they be told to go into negative mode like with Saturday's game - we might as well give up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

What the hell happened to our manager's approach ? getting many decisions so correct at Chelsea .......... Then turning things - upside down with many negative / defensive decisions made against Leeds. It was so obvious that our team was set up NOT TO LOOSE ! a recipe for disaster.With seeing Saints performance at Chelsea ...... Leeds fans were petrified about playing us - seeing the high energy, high pressing and totally committed team playing the week before against Chelsea. Why did we field the same starting line up.Leeds away is totally different to Chelsea away !!!!! Then seeing how our team was set up from the first 5 minutes , inviting Leeds on to us -- thinking Oh No !! What is happening ? we should be attacking ... with Elyounoussi and Stuart Armstrong playing wide - with Leeds playing down the middle - hence both had pathetic feble performances - Nothing was changed throughout and why play a very tall striker - and only play 2 crosses to him in the whole of the match ....... the sad part being with our poor defensive record , our team was set up - not to loose , and he was surprised when we leeked another soft goal. What was really disappointing was very little desire / fight / winning attitude and pathetic footballing skill - on this performance,we deserve to go down,as apex pointed out in his post. |
