Comment | Southampton Midfielder On Leeds United Radar.

A Sheffield Wednesday fan told me Shea Charles was not just Player of the Season, but the best player in a Wednesday shirt for several seasons. Saints should make him captain and build a team around him. |

Comment | Can Southampton Poop Everton's Party
at 07:48:42
Everton blatantly cheated the financial rules when they claimed a bigger loss from Covid than the big 6. They should have been relegated then but just got a small points deduction and even then got it reduced on appeal. Please let Saints spoil their party, it's the least we can do to the cheaters. For those of us watching on TV, put a pillar in front of your chair to get that real feeling that you are at Goodison. |

Comment | Southampton At West Ham United The Preview
at 17:39:33
Nick, I agree it would be wrong to make wholesale changes until Saints pass Derby's record, but we could use 1 or 2 youngsters such as Robinson. Rusk thought Stephens gave a Captain's performance so is unlikely to be dropped, after all he was only at fault for the second goal and the second penalty. As for letting 2 goal Armstrong go out on loan, he was a liability, his first touch is abysmal and his main ploy was running past the defender in the hope that he would make a mistake, something PL defenders don't do that often. Even with him, Saints would still be toothless up front. |

Hopefully Bednarek hasn't recovered, the back 4 looked good for most of the Liverpool game, with ABK and THB. It was the stupid penalties that were the problem, drop Smallbone and don't bring on Sugawara. Bring in a striker, doesn't matter who, they are all equally poor. |

Comment | Who Killed The Magic Of The FA Cup for Southampton
at 05:39:52
Nick, you missed one other nail in the coffin of the FA Cup, when they stopped the losing finalist from entering Europe if the winner had already qualified. Don't forget Saints qualified this way despite losing the final to Arsenal. |

Nick you are obviously a fan of Armstrong but 6 goals in 72 Premier League games, including penalties. His first touch is appalling, his tackling below this league's standard, heading ability poor. What does he do well? Impersonation of a headless chicken. |

Comment | Southampton V Brighton The Preview
at 06:41:06
We do stand a chance of winning at Brighton, play a recognised left back, bring in a CB, move Downes into midfield, drop Stephens, play Tall Paul if he's fit, play safe at the back and hoof the ball upfield when under pressure. Simple. |

Comment | Southampton V Liverpool The Verdict
at 10:11:00
We bought CB's Edwards and Wood in the summer, we have a German international CB Bella-Kotchap, we have Taylor who has played CB in the Premier League. Instead of utilising one of these, Martin takes our most mobile midfielder and plays him at CB. Uter madness. For those that will argue that Edwards and Wood are inexperienced, transfermarkt has their value at nearly double that of Stephens, and how are they supposed to gain experience if they don't play? |

Comment | Central Defensive Injury Blow For Southampton
at 04:41:14
McCalamity in goal, Stephens at CB. Top of the table playing bottom of the table. What could go wrong? 1-0 to Saints. Pass me some more of that wacky-backy. |

Comment | Southampton V Manchester United The Verdict
at 10:56:51
You are all being too soft on Stephens. The tackle was typical of a Sunday Pub League, studs to knee, no where near the ball, so late the ball was over a metre away when contact was made. Martin had a clear view, only a few meters away from him, but gets himself booked protesting about a red card that was as clear as any you will ever see. Stephens must be stripped of the captaincy, sent to train with the under 18's, and only reinstated if we lose 9-0. The team at Everton should be an opportunity to see what ABK can do, and please don't risk our best players in a meaningless cup game. |

Comment | Southampton Put In BId For Feyenoord Keeper
at 21:04:26
Any keeper's price has gone up a few million thanks to McCalamity, everyone can see how desperate Saints are now. Should have made goalkeeper our first signing after gaining promotion. |

Comment | Adam Armstrong Signs New Southampton Deal
at 15:56:50
What short memories you have. Armstrong has a terrible first touch, in the Championship he can get away with it but in the Premier League to let the ball bounce 2 metres in front of you means you have lost it to the centre half. He doesn't have the pace to outrun the faster Premiership defenders. Maybe Stewart can make the grade, but as he was missing from the squad against Eastleigh don't hold your breath. Saints need 2 strikers, so let's hope they learned not to leave it to deadline day when they lost out on Gakpo. |

I would add that Bednarek is not Premiership standard either, he lacks the pace necessary, as was demonstrated in our relegation season. |

Comment | Saints May Have To Cash In On Star Defender
at 05:16:50
Some people have short memories. He was consistently caught out for lack of pace in the Premier, that's why no Premier club bought him last year and why he flopped at Villa. THB and KWP are the only 2 defenders we have who are good enough, we need to buy a goalkeeper, CB and left back. |

Comment | Keep It Simple, Play Your Best Players, Change Little ! Is The Message To Southampton
at 08:28:45
So Nick "we played in a formation that the players knew how to play" well where did Stephens fit in to this? He appeared to be operating as a third centre-back, a formation I don't recall us playing before. If you consider he was a midfielder, you have previously told us he is not suited to that role. I am not a supporter of his, but the team did look better balanced against Leeds. |
