When I played football, it was said teams with a strong spine won matches.
Spine: Goalkeeper, Centre Half, Centre Forward.
The Simple Truth.

Saints V Manchester United The Verdict
at 13:05:12

As soon as Mourinho switched Rashford to the right, he began to open us up like a can opener. If me and my son could see that we needed to switch to a back four; why, oh why, could not Hughes?!

Saints V Liverpool The Verdict
at 19:21:40

I know this is a late post. But.........I have been doing some research over the international break. This season, up till before the Liverpool game we had 130 shots at goal (only Man C, Liverpool and Spurs had more). Of those, 68 were on target; which is 52 per cent. That was the 5th most accurate in the PL. Its the 4th highest shots on target. BUT.........we only scored 12 goals, which is equal 13th in the PL. So; our shots to goals ratio was 9.2 per cent which was the lowest in the league.
We are creating loads of chances.
Of course we need a natural striker, but equally important, we need a couple of midfielders who can give us goals.
That is it. Great defence. Lovely in possession. Need a striker and scoring midfielders. End of.

We have improved our league position in each of the last seven seasons. Can any other club match that, or does that make us the best managed club in England?

Saints Players You Have Never Heard Of Part 13 - David "Docker" Walker
at 11:51:52

I have been a Saints supporter for over fifty years, and a regular reader of The Ugly Inside. Until now, I have not bothered to add comments, but Docker Walker is one of my all time heroes. I remember the great story of the FA sponsored coaching seminar when the presenter was asked the difference between skill and technique. The presenter thought for a moment then said that skill was being able to control the ball instantly, swerve your hips, and change direction taking the ball with you. Technique was being able to do that on a wet Wednesday night match at The Dell with Docker Walker up your arse. The seminar delegates understood immediately!
