RM needs to make a decision on Jack Stephens and remove the captaincy from him. I have always felt that given a run of games Stephens settles in but we don't need him at the moment and can't risk giving him cameos like yesterday as that could have back fired. Would he have come on if he wasn't captain, I think not. So strip him of the captaincy and keep him on the bench PLEASE.

Talk sport radio have said that the club is willing to listen to offers around £20 million for Che Adams, can only hope this is because we have someone coming in and he wants game time, Otherwise seems risky if we are trying to sell him to free up funds to replace him with only a couple of days to get deals done.

Che Adams is one of the most intelligent footballers I’ve seen. reminds me of Ricky lambert but without the finishing . would be gutted to see him leave


2.) 31 Jan 2023 11:24:08
There is no way we will sell him unless we already have a replcement


3.) 31 Jan 2023 12:23:10
What has happened to our usual transfer philosophy. We’ve never been one for last minute chasing around and panic buys? We normally do business in good time . apart from a striker of course.
Che must stay

Listening to the first half and I don't see how Nathan Jones can stay. How can we still have no clear way of playing. He's had his chance let's admit he's not up to it and move on. If we do go down how much will Lavia,tino, Bella be worth then,not as much as if we stay up and they will all want to jump ship. If big Sam still wants to manage give it to him a few shroud signings and we might survive.

Joe needs to be benched so many passes going backwards sideways also slows the play down all I can think is the players have downed tools and there is a bigger problem in the dressing room than we know about

I don't know much about O'Reilly but is he another Aribo? He had a great season for Rangers the year we signed him scoring goals in the league and Europe for one season. Then nothing for us.Is O'Reilly going to beany different? He hasn't had two or three good seasons in Scotland just one.

SaintKenny

1.) 21 Aug 2024 17:49:01
Honestly, He seems like a good fit has played under Russell Martin so and it's noted they have a good relationship between each other so things shouldn't become tense in the team. He is a good CAM which is what we lack in midfield imo.

However you did raise a good point. Scottish Premiership is vastly diffrent to Premier League O' Riley might be the best midfifleder in the scottish premeirship right now but in the premier league who knows if he'd be good?

I don't know if it's worth to drain 30m on a midfielder I'd give Fernandes a chance and find our next pelle as i don't beleive Ben Brenton or Archer will be scoring goals for fun. I'd keep them on the team but do we have a striker that we can rely to have a goal at least every few matches idk.

Think we should try and sign Kelleher from Liverpool. He did really well last season and Liverpool are in talks to sign Mamardashvili as their number one next season, so they are not thinking about him being their number one.

SaintKenny

1.) 22 Aug 2024 00:03:20
I think they had plans to loan him out to Bournemouth though to keep Alisson for another season. If we can get that loan deal that would be really good for us on the case biljow doesn't join us for some reason

Personally I haven't seen any news yet of the signing yet it's still in discussion

I would pay the extra 16 mill if I was russ to get mamardashvilli over biljow but hey that's my opinion

Is the writing on the wall already?
2003 fa cup
2010 jpl
2017 elf
2024 play offs?

We need to change to make the playoffs .
I think we will, because we have had such a strong run, but no one will fear us now and everyone will try and beat us…
Martin wasn’t earning his money against lesser opposition, now we are playing some really good clubs, and clubs like Millwall, who found us out.
He needs to have a little chat with Buddha

Love the fact that I've just seen the starting 11 for today, then looked at the subs bench, and bar the defense thought it wouldn't have bothered me if any of them were starting. Real squad depth for the big push. COYS

SaintKenny

And it was the depth of the squad that turned the game on its head, Saint Kenny.

We were deservedly behind at the break - a throw back to our pedestrian and purposeless football of 30 games ago.

Then the second half and like most of St Mary’s I was mesmerised by the transformation. And it was the subs that done it!

There’s a lot to digest from this match - some of the worst and best crammed into one of the games of the season.

On my journey home I was mulling over whether Aribo would get back into team when he returns from AfCON. You see, unlike most fans I’m not sure he is effective at this level and I certainly don’t see him as a shoe-in. Technically his first touch isn’t great and I’m not sure he sees a pass quick enough. Maybe it’s me, but another selection conundrum for RM.

Great to see Sulemana back and going back to Saint Kenny’s point, to bring him and Odozie on from the bench is any Championship manager’s dream.

Time for a celebratory cold beer (or two) after another 200 + mile round trip!

It was an another good learning curve for Saints coaching staff when Huddersfield took the game to us. They were aggressive, ran at our back four with a very high work rate which is the first time any team has taken that approach against us. Since October. That would not have happened if Downes had stayed on the pitch as he wins so many challenges in front of the back 4, he also makes professional fouls which stops players running at our centre backs. Bringing on 60+ million quid worth of subs does help! The players could have capitulated but credit to them they hung in and ground out an impressive win. For me the biggest improvement is that every game recently we have looked capable of scoring at least 3 goals, except Watford cup match, that should get us promoted either automatically or in the play offs.


3.) 11 Feb 2024 12:16:19
You’re right 2408 and also different types of goals from different players.


4.) 11 Feb 2024 22:34:50
For so many seasons, we’ve had weak player (s) in the team. The starting line ups were suspect, the best players not on the pitch .
and those days have gone!
It is an absolute pleasure to see quality all over the pitch, with the bench looking incredible!
Youngsters like Mara and Edozie, playing for fun .
Smiles all over the pitch .
Everyone attacking, and everyone wanting to score.

What an absolute pleasure to watch

Ticking over nicely now. Happy to keep winning one nill. I know there are some on here who are not happy with the goal difference, but who was the last team to be promoted on goal difference?, points get you promoted. With Leicester losing a few important players to the African cup we could close gap to them.

SaintKenny

1.) 24 Dec 2023 23:27:48
It’s not so much the goal difference,
But the fact that we are one up and such a huge percentage of our games.
But I have to hold my hand up and admit, we do seem to be getting away with it… apart from the old game, where the opponent scored later on.

Compared to previous seasons, there is an amazing feeling for us to be winning and competing.

If we are going to be promoted, this is the season it needs to happen, the championship is quite weak compared to previous…
And something I only realised today I’ll allow game of the season is against Leeds!

And to the Ed’s… happy Christmas to all, and thank you for all the work you do, especially putting up with our rantings!
Merry Christmas to you

{Ed001's Note - thank you south hants! Merry Christmas to you and all the posters and lurkers.}

Sky sports reporting Yuri highly unlikely now. As for Jwp perfect fit for our pass sideways and backwards style. Should be great counting how many passes we make before the opposition score! Jwp not for me. And as long as Stephens plays it doesn't matter who we have in goal.

Never thought I would say this but Neil Warnock has his last game in charge of Huddersfield tonight, and has says he's not retiring yet. He ticks all the boxes you have mentioned.

The downside was proved last year. If we keep buying youngsters with no leadership the team will not flourish. As for the u21 players you mentioned, I went and watched the u21 Vs villa u21 last night and it was not a great advertisement for football at that level.

I feel until we get a solid CDM and goal keeper in, it really doesn't matter who our center backs are. At the moment they have no protection in front of them and very little behind them.

1 goal and 2 assists in 17 games. Sounds ready made for us!

People have blown to much smoke up Jwp arse for to long now. He has one area that his free kicks are effective from and hits the first man on corners so many times. Also how many free kicks will we get near the box? Playing football in front of the opposition. You commit a foul when someone tries to run past you or a quick pass around you, neither of witch we do at present. Maybe he is as good as what we have but why pay his wages to get someone the same.

Maybe you've hit the nail on the head with his injury record. Have the medical team seen something they are concerned about in the future and want to get rid while we can? . Let's not forget he has failed a medical this summer.

So you basically think SR are going to fund a complete new team. On Lallana he could prove to be a good backup to Downes, if we manage to sign him.

You tend to find the championship strikers that make it in the premier league, are ones that got promoted with a club. So fingers crossed Armstrong may be able to continue some sort of scoring from.

Are you happy now? It's not like we were losing the game. And possession football has nothing to do with not hitting the target.
