Comment | Southampton V Preston North End The Verdict
at 15:16:17
Everyone would have taken a 3-0 win before the game, but the fact that we were 3-0 up after just over 30 mins made it a little bit of an anticlimax in the 2nd half. We all wanted (and expected) more goals to help our goal difference deficit v the Top 3, but despite a few chances, it wasn't to be and no Hat Trick for Che. |

Comment | Southampton At Blackburn The Preview
at 14:05:11
Your opinion reminds me of Spurs fans after they finished 3rd in a 2 horse race. The title was within their grasp, they missed out on 2nd place to Arsenal but still claimed it was a great season to finish 3rd and get Champions League, as they didn't expect it at the start of the season.
We had an automatic place in our own hands not that long ago, but our form over the last 7 games or so has cost us. Sure many expected the play offs (some worse) and that is what will we probably end up with, but it could have been so much more.

Harsh on Saints players to have 3 goals given as own goals.
Vergini - fair enough, superb finish from the edge of the box :-)
Bridcutt - Should have been given to Pelle and would have been his hat trick - was going in anyway, but I see why they gave it as an OG
van Aanholt - Mane's goal for sure. Yes PvA got the deflection but it was still on target before he deflected it.

Keep Bed and THB as CB pairing
Bree if no KWP
If Manning plays, put him wide left back - not central - and makensure he marks his man.
We have options in CM and up top, so I don't think scoring will be a problem.
Just keep it tight at the back, stop fannying around with it, cut out the kamikaze passing and hoof it if you have to !! Clean sheet please !!
Cheers, Brooks and Arm to score. |

Downes is a must if fit. He was missed big time in CM. Also recall S Arm.
At Bristol, with Edozie and Brooks, we were too lightweight on the wings, so Fraser and A Arm to return to the flanks and Che down the middle if fit. |

Drove to the 1-0 win in 2017 with Clasie scoring.
Parked by the excellent Vyne pub (free street parking)
Great choice of food and drink - highly recommended (but been a while !!)
Back in to watch the Grand National after the game
Saint Are (25-1) got a place !!
Went to the 2 weeks apart league and cup wins a year later by train
Great selection of pubs in Birmingham city centre between New Street station and Snow Hill. |

Comment | Southampton V Watford The FA Cup Replay Verdict

Mara was worst player on the pitch in the first half. Apart from setting up Adams, he did nothing but give the ball away, mis-pass or mis-control, slow up our break away attacks and when the goal was gaping on 30 mins, instead of shooting with his left foot, he cut inside to get it on his right and was tackled.
Fair play though, he was a different player 2nd half, took his goals well including the first with his left foot and maybe should have had a hat trick - curling 1 just wide and unselfishly passing when in a decent position to shoot himself.
Great to see all the youngsters play and contribute - a lot more than they did at Vicarage Road. Lots of intricate passing between them too, just a shame the woodwork prevented a real drubbing.

Comment | A Rough Guide To Rotherham
at 14:25:24
I went to that FA Cup game at Millmoor.
The Saturday game was called off because of a frozen pitch and as a result, 2 of us had to take an afternoon off and drive up. We went with a Rotherham fan we knew from the pub - which made it interesting going into some working mans club with him before the game, but made the journey home a very long one !!
We didn't adapt to the conditions or their tactics and we lost 2-1, despite having about 7 or 8 internationals in our squad. |

Comment | Calum Chambers Shock Departure From Southampton Cited As Prime Example
at 14:28:29
Wasn't it Matt Mills or Ollie Lancashire that got the same agent as Jon Terry and thought it would shoehorn them straight into the England squad ?
Look how it turned out for both of them. Similar in a way, but at least Chambers has only been with Prem and Champ teams !! |

Nick's favourite has a bad game and was a fault for the goal, so he picks on Stuart Armstrong !!
Goals change games and virtually all Cov's chances, including their goal, came as a result of a Saints mistake or misplaced pass.
Sure many of our players gave the ball away, but equally, we failed to take good chances and often made the wrong decisions in the opposition's box.
Most teams we play will sit back against us and try to hit us on the break, or go for it a bit more in the 2nd half. We need to learn to adapt our play accordingly.
Still. If we win our home games and draw away, a 2 points per game average means we will be up there come the end of the season. The trouble is, I not sure 2 per game is enough this season with the top 3 doing so well.
Half a season to go, so let's step it up on the adapting and scoring fronts.

Junction 15 of the M6 - not Junction 6, as that is Spaghetti Junction and is for Villa Park. |
