Played very well yesterday.
Got stuck in and was a threat going forward.
Clearly spurred on and motivated by a bit of message board critique 
You can all thank me later. |  |

He has been much better for a while now.
Good to see..
Maybe he is a bit fitter but whatever it is he is winning me round. |  |

THE VERDICT still seems to include the usual dig at fans towards the end of what was otherwise a very reasonable summary of events.
No digs from me or anybody else at Manning, Mara or any other player; but there is still the undertone of criticism at some of our fans, which The Editor seems to struggle to wind in. | |

I didn't have a dig, it was a hope for positivity, in the article I merely mentioned that I hoped some of the Cynics who have criticised Bazunu, Manning and Smallbone this season will notice how they have become vital cogs in the wheel.
Given that they did receive stick, it is only fair to point out that they deserve some praise for how they have knuckled down and got their game together.
Given you had written your post before I had published the article, you have been generous enough to have acknowledged Manning and hopefully perhaps the other two. | |

Smallbone was excellent and was my man of the match.
I can’t recall criticising him before.
Bazunu was fine on Saturday. He still has a mistake in him, as we saw at Watford in the League. Overall he has improved on last season, but then he has a lot less to do.
Manning has been very good for a number of weeks. Links up well with Fraser and deserves to stay in the team. He will win fans over if this continues.
Maybe he needs a song, Nick.

I wasn't having a go at you personally, I can't remember you criticising Smallbone although some did.
With Bazunu yes he made a mistake at Watford, but that is the case with all keepers, the better ones just make fewer mistakes.
Having a lot less to do is right in terms of saving shots, but that is where you see a keepers class, he has to concentrate and be on his toes whilst the ball is up the other end, Bazunu though did the basics well and also his distribution is key, he almost gives un another outfield player when we have the ball.
I think Manning's problems came from who was in front of him for the early part of the season, now he has Fraser he has someone who can work well with him so that helps.
Oh Ryan Manning, he used to pass to the opposition but he's all right now | |

Baz is having an easy ride at the mom and we are head and shoulders above the rest of the league. I wouldn’t want Baz or Adam Armstrong any where near the first team if we go up |  |

I’d be tempted to take a punt on the Rotherham keeper if we go up and cannot get a keeper in with a decent PL CV. Might be a bit of a punt but I rate him as a better keeper than Baz and he looks less likely to make silly mistakes. Talking of silly mistakes, have a look at the three goals Preston put past Ipswich on Saturday - please let their GK play like that against us in a few weeks time! |  |

The criticism of anyone is strange at the moment. Even if you don't like the style of play surely no one can complain about the results. I don't think the team could be do any more than what they are doing. If only we had played like this from the start of the season we would be level or above Leicester.
Talking of Leicester they seem to be having similar issues. I've seen lots of reports of their fans having a go at their manager and their style of play, and they are 11 points clear at the top! Im not sure what some modern day fans want anymore. |  | | |

It did occur to me that with Bazunu, Manning and Smallbone all being Republic of Ireland internationals, a ditty for the 3 of them could be concocted paying homage to their Irish heritage.
Maybe "What's the craic?" could be the new "Qu'est ce que c'est"......
Not sure how well an Irish-themed song would be received by our fans, mind. | |

My only criticism of Manning is that he often tends to drift into a more central position - leaving acres of space for the opposition's right winger.
I am not sure whether he is coached to do this, or simply drifts across.
Anyway, he came with high expectations, what with making the Champ Team Of The Season last season, but has only really started to consistently show what he can do, since Bree briefly took over at LB but got injured. Keep it up and lets have a few goals and assists please !! |  |

You're right about Ryan Manning drifting inside.
He tends to follow the ball after he's played it which does leave us exposed down his side.
But I think Russell Martin encourages both full backs to drift into central positions.
I personally don't get it but what do I know.
But Manning definitely has improved in recent weeks, I think it's because of his partnership with the other Ryan (Fraser).
We need partnerships all over the park, JB & THB have developed a really good partnership, now I would like to see Che Adams & Adam Armstrong do the same.
Perhaps if David Brookes becomes a regular starter (which he should) him & KWP could work well together. | | | |

For a respectful homage to our Irish contingent, perhaps we could get the Chapel to do some group Riverdance-esque tap dancing, which could quickly become the English league equivalent to Dortmund's Yellow Wall.
The Itchen North might also sing Sunday Bloody Sunday during Sunday games, which would additionally encapsulate the frustration of TV tinkering with the fixtures. |  | | |

And perhaps a jig to the top Irish combo B*witched’s pop smash “C’est la Vie”.
This could double up as a nod to Supersub Sekou. | |

He's taken some stick from most of us earlier in the season so how about this chant to encourage Ryan Manning.
"We love you Manning
Oh yes we do
We love the way you play
And the things you do.
We love Manning
Oh yes we do
Oh Manning we love you".

Is this the first recorded use of the word “satisfactory” in a football chant?

realistic football songs are the way forward i reckon, we could rework classics like
And it's all Southampton
All Southampton FC
We're a middling sized provincial team
and less successful than we should've been
or maybe
We all follow southampton
To away games depending on our ability to qualify for tickets
Possibly even
When i was just a little boy i asked my mother what should i be
a charted accounted is a good career that will give you stability she replied | | | |
