I heard this a couple of weeks ago, from someone high up within the club . I'm not sure if they believed it but they were sure that Solak was very disappointed with the way it's going! |

Were you there?
First goal was down to Bednarek & the second was Harwood Bellis? |

The two things I liked the most were, "I expect every first pass to go forward" and " you adapt to win games and if we have to win ugly then we will"
Not exact quotes but near enough to encourage me. |

Think we have all got what we deserve after selling our souls to Sky tv!
It's all about the money and anyone that fails to see that, is going to end up disappointed and upset? |

Apart from a song Aribo has given us nothing, he's far too one footed to be a central midfielder and certainly not a CB, Mr Juric!
However maybe the one one Juric did get right was the need for Smallbone to develop physically, he's far too easily dispossessed. Although that seems to be a theme throughout the side particularly up front. |

Family business on Wednesday afternoon but if I can get home in time I'm there.
However I'm not so keen that I'm going to risk flying down the motorway, to get home in time! |

I think his success is not being involved with the dross that we signed after he left! |

He's a football journalist working for The i newspaper. He has also written for The Telegraph, Daily Mirror, BBC, The Guardian & Sky Sports. Seems to me, particularly with this article, he knows what he is talking about! |

An article by Daniel Storey of the i just about sums it up perfectly :-
"Another four goals conceded, another superbly damning xG scoreline: Southampton 0.13-4.01 Brighton. When the good news from your Saturday afternoon is that your team probably should have lost by six or seven goals at home and didn’t, it must be tempting to take the rest of the season off.
"I’m honestly getting sick of watching Southampton and writing about them. They are a joke because they play as if they are in mid-table comfort. I understand that heads have gone down because relegation has looked a certainty from October onwards and it must be hard to play in front of supporters who are going out of habit and grim loyalty rather than expectation.
"But my goodness: try to give them something to be proud of. Nobody is calling for prison-rule football, but my goodness it is frustrating to watch how easy opposition teams have it against Southampton, and I’m not even a supporter. There seems to be no plan for creating chances or stopping their opponents creating them, but worse than that there seems to be no ambition to make life harder for the other team.
"Nobody tracks runs. Nobody seems to want to sprint to put a tackle in. Nobody wants to defend for their lives other than as a tardy reaction to a mistake, either in technical prowess or concentration. Everybody seems to act as if ugly football is beneath them, rather than a typical ingredient of a promoted club battling to stay up (or, in this case, avoid points records).
"I can take my club losing most weeks. I cannot take my club looking like they accept defeat without putting up a fight nor having a logical strategy to avoid conceding three or four goals in every game."
Most of us have been thinking along these lines for a while, what concerns me is why doesn't the club hierachy see it? |

To be fair to him, he's 47 now & been injured for 16 years! |
