Despite him not playing much this season, a brief look at Soton fans online comments show the overwhelming majority are not happy at all that they’ve sold Edwards. Always a good sign. [Post edited 8 Jan 16:12]

I’m furious that Ashley Trujillo hasn’t been included in that squad. WTF. |

I’m confused … are we blaming the pitch or Ben Williams this week for the injuries? Just wanna get on board with the currant perceived wisdom. Thanks.
Everyone was moaning about not having an injury update, now they’ve got one and it’s given them another opportunity to moan like drains. As someone recently said on this forum, ‘Misery loves company’. |

I’m not that fussed about making any signings this window but I’d make an exception for Castledine on one condition - Being a gentleman of a certain age I’d only ask that his Mum regularly turns up at Loftus Road to watch him. 😍 #LucyAlexander #HomesUnderTheHammer |

I thought exactly the same about him being loaned out. He could definitely do with regular men’s football and there was some noise about him going to L1 clubs. A loan out might still be a possibility later in the window depending on the injury to Burrell. |

With Burrell being injured Bennie is now first back up for Kone and Kolli (I’d play him ahead of Frey) With 8 goals in 10 for the DS he’s deserved some minutes in the first team. He seems better suited to being a striker than a winger because he clearly knows how to score.

Among several misjudgments that JS has made over Christmas the continued selection of Varane has, to me, been right up there with the best of them. Despite having, as you say, all the physical attributes, it is clear that he’s just not that good at football. I also think his injury was much more to do with the fact that he tried to tackle using the wrong leg rather than the pitch.
Field did well when he came on but I really hope Morgan gets a run in the side. He’s been very patch to put it mildly but I’m sure he’ll get better the more minutes he gets, especially if played in midfield because a defender he ain’t. [Post edited 5 Jan 20:56]

I like Kieran Morgan but apart from his last minute goal he’s been a big disappointment this season. Yes I know he’s only 19 but he’s been pretty awful in the last couple of appearances and was just getting minutes again after his disastrous game at Coventry. I’d be surprised, having seen the comments from the manager at 3:00, if Morgan got on the pitch again other than as a last resort. You could sense his absolute disappointment with Morgan and that he almost felt let down by him. JS seemed very deflated. Unusual for JS to name players in his post match interviews.
I actually think Morgan could do with a loan out for the rest of the season to get regular games rather than a few minutes here and there. He’s not going to progress at all if we keep him here. |

So why would you hope that, by your own admission, our best midfielder leaves the club? |

Judging by comments on this site and on SM Madsen seems favourite, at this stage, for Player of the season. |

Don’t get me started on the House of Lords which aggravates me far more than it really should. Such a phenomenally abused institution being filled with so many undeserving, under qualified friends, family and political nonentities. It’s so utterly corrupted that people call for it to be abolished which is the complete opposite of what should happen. Who’d want the legislation of some cretinous Govt to be un scrutinised?
The place should be filled with, as far as possible, non politically aligned experts from every profession imaginable. If ever an institution needed truly radical reform it’s the HoL.
Knighthoods/Damehoods etc are the same; awards for the undeserving financial donors and two bit entertainers. These awards should be decided by a panel of randomly selected members of the public. |

Aged 20 Jimmy Dunne was on loan at Barrow in the National League. I think Centre backs are more akin to goalkeepers; they take a bit longer to ripen. |

I think the fact he doesn’t come out with the tired football cliche’s is one thing that I like about him. Interviews from other managers (no names) are boring, have an almost defensive attitude and you’re never able to penetrate past that to see any kind of personality. That is definitely not the case with Stephan; a man that seems very comfortable in his own skin. That kind of genuine, open personality is far more relatable and the players appear to get on well with him (from just a few snippets admittedly). |

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him speak and not be impressed with his communication skills, his football acumen and his personality. I think we’re very lucky to have him. Definitely the best communicator since maybe Warburton? |
