I guess the result is all that matters and we know it's really early in the season, but Saints were very, very poor tonight. No movement so slow passing in possession. No cohesion on the pitch, second best in most challenges and nobody going past defenders from a Div One team. Will Still has been lucky so far but we will need to improve massively on Sunday against Ipswich. |

Fair play to all those banging on about the importance of experience. Stephens our best defender by some distance.Quashie and Edwards inexperienced against the likes of Windows and Moore. Manning and Fraser both showed up well and Manning's goal was class. Thought Charles and Robinson did well and Downes worked hard. Still waiting for the strikers to turn up. |

For what it's worth. I like this shirt and would have been quite happy with a red version and a yellow version for the home and away kits. Too much time on my hands! |

I've not got it in for Jack Stephens but last season was horrific and the scars will linger on. We can only play two centre backs and Jack can't be one of them. Edwards/ Wood and Quashie should surely be our first choice.They all have enough experience at championship level and the potential to get better if properly coached and developed. |

Love watching the Lionesses. Couldn't care less whether Tuchel's over-hyped, over-paid Prima Donna's win anything. |

If you include the injured players as possible squad members we are still at 31. Only Bednarek and ABK, who have played no part in pre-season so far, are definitely excluded unless Dibling, Matzuki, THB and Downes are absent for reasons other than injury. |

I've no real idea how Saints finances look or how much they need to raise from player sales and a reduced wage bill but I'll be surprised if it's much short of £100 million. Last time we sold Livramento, Lavia, JWP and Tella for about £140 million plus Salisu, Caletta-Carr, Perraud, Lyanco, Diallo and a good few loans to reduce the wage bill. We then used the loan system extensively ourselves for THB, Downes, Brooks, Frazer. I think we only bought Manning. Maybe it won't be as bad this time but I'll be surprised if Still can keep the limited list of saleable assets evenif he wants to. |

Really hope you are right and SR make up the relegation financial shortfall by selling Ramsdale, Bednarek, THB, Aribo etc whilst keeping the younger ones with potential Edwards, Charles, Fernandes, Dibling etc. Unfortunately, if we are still £70 million short at the end of August those will be the players that have buyers regardless of the managers plans. |

Reply | Who are the players that Will Still says want to leave?
at 15:54 14 Jul 2025
I think Still said BBC and Armstrong are in his plans if they want to be. Ultimately so much of this isn't in SR's hands. If nobody comes in for Ramsdale presumably we will have to loan him out abroad whilst subsidising his wages. Assuming THB, Bednarek and Bella Kotchap want to go but if there are no offers for them but there are for Ronnie Edwards, Edozie, Charles and Fernandes we may end up selling our youngsters rather than those that have blotted their copy book last year. Apparently Dibling might opt to stay and run down his contract so a cheap sale there is possible. |

Like last year his options seem to be limited to the promoted clubs. Apparently Bournemouth are signing the Chelsea keeper for more than Ragsdale. Newcastle are after Trafford which means Pope could be a solid cheap option for Leeds. Not sure he will be on his way despite his England aspirations and Saints desperate to get their money back. |

In all seriousness, my Dad and Grandad wouldn't watch any film version or entertainment about the Titanic because of the number of Southampton working class families who lost loved ones who were part of the crew and staff on the ship, never valued or properly recompensed. |

I'm not sure whether this is true of Quarshie but I would expect Saints, like any large business, to have different strands of financial activity. The purchase and development of young players within the SR group will be one of these strands probably with ring fenced finances and financial goals just like corporate hospitality, merchandise, sponsorship etc. It's a shame all of these players are presented oo the website as if they are first team options. |

Assuming McKenna stays. Ipswich, Birmingham and Coventry to be promoted. No idea about Saints, massive overhaul needed and very difficult to achieve whilst creating a winning team. Don't think Pat is far off 6th to 10th. I think Swansea will be much better and Sheff Wed will be relegated. |
