Southampton At Ipswich Town The Preview

I think Wood has continually improved and deserves to be in contention for a start. He was our best centre back against Northampton.

Will Still's attitude to this and any other competition is well known and well documented - he has made clear that he wants to win every game of football which is very refreshing. He will treat this match seriously and not throw it due to picking a ridiculous side a la Russell Martin.

Will Still Confirms Harwood- Bellis Return But How Long Will he Be Here
at 09:54:27

What a load of rubbish to say Wrexham could have been 4-0 up - you conveniently overlook all our chances plus the two stonewall penalties. They could have scored more goals, so could we but let's not exaggerate. The stats show we had more chances than Wrexham and I only recall Baz making a single save.

Pretty sure he'll be leading the team out tomorrow. Also pretty sure he'll make at least one absolute howler.

Southampton Board Said To Have Set Deadline Day For Russell Martin
at 10:29:08

Yeah, Everton and Wolves are teams we should get points from but we are going to chuck away the opportunity by leaving Martin to continue to prove he's way out of his depth. Madness.

RM needs to set the side up with a double pivot like the majority of top sides do. Play 4-2-3-1 and we will be more solid at the back and more flexible going forward. His version of 4-3-3 leaves us predictable and wide open at the back.

Will Fate Once Again Force Russell Martin's Hand
at 14:09:35

Clearly if a manger is regularly relying on fate to show him the way he is not much of a manager which mirrors my views on RM. Championship is his ceiling along with his coaching staff.

The Knives Are Out For Russell Martin In The Media But Do They Have Substance
at 10:49:57

Whether there is any truth in this story or not the fact remains that we have lost 3 games in a row and they weren't the most difficult fixtures. Newcastle down to ten men should have been a win, Forest at home they clearly created the better chances due to our line up and tactics, Brentford was a fairly even game handed to them by two monumental mistakes. RM has never been able to set up a team to stem the flow of goals against and this will never change unless his philosophy changes which he continues to tell us it won't. I don't rate him as a manager although he achieved promotion. His level for me is the Championship because he isn't smart enough in terms of tactics when starting games and making tweaks during games to change things. From what I'm seeing unless he is willing to make a substantial gear change in his style of play which is so possession based we will continue losing games so it's inevitable he will be sacked sooner rather than later. Hi is too welded to his beliefs for me and I think that's his biggest weakness rather than a strength. Maybe he's like that because he has no other ideas much like a one-trick pony. I'd be delighted and amazed in equal measures if he showed us some different strings to his bow but his history so far tells us it's not happening.

Southampton At Chelsea The Preview
at 11:12:50

Even if we beat Chelsea and Potter is sacked to think he is going to rush straight into the vacancy at St Marys is a stretch. He'll have a huge pay-off from Chelsea so will be in no hurry to decide what he wants to do next. Even when he's taken that time I doubt very much we'll be on his radar. Cloud cuckoo land.

Southampton V Newcastle United The Verdict
at 10:19:28

You continue to give Ralph a get out of jail free card and now you are blaming the toxic crowd. Wake up and smell the coffee. This club is rotten from the top and Ralph has been a large part of the blame for some time. Yes, we competed yesterday but without any real shape or sign that the players knew what they were doing - it was all off-the-cuff from us. Newcastle weren't that great but they were a unit where every player knew his job at all times. We need someone to come in and drill the side into a well organised team. That will take time because much damage has already been done and morale will need to be raised. I wish Ralph well but his departure was needed and long overdue.

If anyone seriously thinks we'll zoom up the table simply by signing a good striker in January they are deluding themselves. Haaland would struggle for goals the way this team is coached and set up to play sterile football. We can blame Adams all we want and he does miss some chances but so does Haaland. The difference is the chances Adams get have to be converted because we create so little. Strikers in other clubs can get away with missing because their teams typically create far more chances than we do. A new striker is needed but don't expect him to convert every chance because it wont happen. Our biggest problem right now is not creating enough as we don't play swift, attacking football and get men forward in support.

Here's a tip for you Ralph. Football matches last 90 minutes. There are two halves. Go for a win from the first whistle of each half. Might not work but at least you aren't left wondering why you only bothered for 50% of games.

Southampton At Manchester City The Verdict

Son you thought we tried to play football against Villa. I must have watched a different game as all I saw us do was pass sideways and backwards then hump the ball forward to nobody in particular, rinse and repeat. If that constitutes football then I'm a Dutchman. It was an insult to all who love this great game but it certainly wasn't a team trying to play football or anything remotely resembling it.

Zonal marking doesn't work unless the opposition has a player named Zonal. Mark players not zones. If we mark zones next week Haaland will have an absolute field day.

Watt View- Future bright but deadly finisher will accelerate pace of progress
at 10:18:24

I think the partnership of Salisu and ABK is very strong and will only get better. To introduce a centre back to replace Salisu (which is what you appear to want) would, in my opinion, completely upset the dynamics and lead to player unrest. By all means get someone in for cover if Bednarek leaves but I don't think we should be looking to replace Salisu with an incoming signing.
