Bazunu Leaves St Mary's ! Are Southampton Really Going To Gamble On An Inexperie
at 18:00 13 Jan 2026

You could be right, perhaps he wasn't prepared to fight for his place or be a bench warmer.
We'll never know.

I don't know but perhaps Peretz is on less money than Baz & possibly his parent club are paying some of his wages.
That's the way SR work, it's all about saving & making money rather than winning football matches.

Agreed, historically we've had some success bringing back old players, but not under the ownership of SR.
Their record is abysmal.

No more Baz (for now)
at 13:04 13 Jan 2026

Baz has been loaned to Stoke for remainder of Season.
Hope it's a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the Season.
I personally don't want to see him come back.

"Romeu, Romeu, Wherefore Art You Romeu".
We all got a bit excited when Oriol came back but it was very obvious that his lack of match practice & lack of pace made him look very exposed in the few minutes he's had on the pitch.
So, was it a desperate mistake to bring him back.
We haven't got a very good track record when bringing back golden oldies.
Must learn from our mistakes & NOT even consider bringing JWP back.

Do we have fitness problem
at 14:28 11 Jan 2026

We keep on falling apart in the 2nd half of matches.
WHY.
Are we lacking in stamina & not fit to last the 90 + minutes.
Or is it that the half time team talk has an adverse affect on the players.
I must admit I do find Tonda boring but not as boring as Will Still was.
Other teams come our fired up for 2nd half knowing that we will fall apart.

Doncaster v Saints FA Cup Matchday Thread...

Nail on the head.
No matter what formation or what players you play we just ain't good enough.
We've lost & replaced lots of players over last couple of years & none of the incoming players have been as good as the ones we've lost, it's going to be a very bumpy ride this season.
I wish I could enjoy supporting Ssints but it's no fun anymore.

He only played 1536 minutes for us & most of that was made up with just a few minutes from the bench late in the game.
The point I was making on previous post was that with Fellows & Scienze playing he' would have had decent balls into the box he would have been a handful for Championship defences.
He was also a big unit to use as a target man capable of holding the ball up we just don't have anyone like that in the team.
That is exactly the sort of player we are missing & we'll probably go & waste money on some unknown striker for the future not rhe present.

That Turkish Pub lge is probably similar level as Championship & he's scoring for fun in that lge.
I wasn't saying he was good enough for Premier lge but he was a good fit for Championship particularly if he had Fellows & Scienze providing decent crosses for him.
For sure he'd have been better than Downes or Archer.

We did the same to Paul Onuacho.
He was never really given a chance, he would have been a revelation in Championship
If we'd kept him & Janny B we'd have solved two of our problem positions.

I don't think Woods is good enough & THB just ain't as good as he thinks he is.
I think that THB is one of our biggest problems.
Seems to want to do everyone else's job instead of concentrating on doing his own job properly.

The players haven't relaxed says Stephens

If getting stuffed 4-0 when giving g 100% I dread to think what will happen when we don't give 100%.
He's not called Slack Jack for nothing, it's because he doesn't convince us fans that he's giving his all, he's slow, he's pedestrian & is only comfortable when they are playing walking football,, he would be happy if the ball never went into oppositions half.
He's not the only one, we've got too many of them.
Slack Jack has also come out & said that he fully support Tonda, well you would say that if you wanted to suck up to the Manager / Coach.

"Just write off this season" players already have.
With just a couple of exceptions (Scienze & Fellows) the rest of the squad already have written off this season.
They are perfectly happy picking extorioate salaries going thru the motions in Championship.

Shea is decent.
Anyone that watched him play for his country against the Germans would say that he's a very competent midfielder.
He was Man Of the Match against the Germans & that's says that he's half decent.

No, not all the time that Agents are in the equation.
It's the Agents that are calling the tune.
Professional football would be so much better if Agents weren't involved.

Head Coach vs Manager
at 17:24 6 Jan 2026

It's common in Business.
It's called "MicroManagement:.
Meaning the top dogs don't trust their managers to manage.
So why appoint Managers ?.

Slack Jack is rumoured to be the best leader of men at the club.
That doesn't say a lot about the rest of them.
Also Adam Armstrong spouting off again about the teams lack of effort, he is Captain when Slack Jack s not playing.
Its the Captains job to motivate & make sure his team mates put in a shift.
Adam Armstrong is no more a leader than Kier Starmer.

No good talking about other Managers.
We're stuck with the one we've got.
As is with the squad of player we have, We're stuck with them.
Same with owners, We're stuck with them.
Taking all this into consideration, nothing is going to change,
We're in for a bumpy ride.
