Unless Princewill Ehibabibomham from our academy should turn out to be ready for championship football. He was an unused sub today.
Mubamas hold up play looks to be half as good as Larins and his balance and anticipation in air duels looks questionable so far. But I may be wrong and I strongly support Mubama to succeed, of course. |

Good question @ES
God forbid any injury to Cyle.
I hope Danny Ings keeps himself in good shape, should we get in serious striker injury trouble. Better than having NOBODY to give a phone call..... |

Comment | Saints Looking To Take Young Defender On Loan From Nottingham Forest
at 23:57:31
Difficult this situation. I blame Villa for stalling! Offering less than 20 mill. for THB and being d*ckheads about it for several days if not weeks.
Meaning THB ultimately leaving us on deadline day when Villa FINALLY offered a decent amount of money - meaning only a quarter of a p*ssy's hair time left to get his replacement in.
At least we got a player in who sound MUCH better than Quashie.
Welcome Abbott. All the best to you. |

Good luck to THB. I like him and thank him for staying last season but he is not the finished article + he was error prone on occasions. It was frustrating to sometimes see him take things, that he was as responsible of as anybody, out on his team mates.
Now, hopefully we will seriously consider bitting for one of those juicy Norwegian CBs and a decent striker with experience, while I hope things get sorted out with players like Ramsdale, Roerslev, Downes and Archer.
Sugawara, I would personally probably keep as cover for Bree. Roerslevs wages are too high (double what he got at Brentford I've been told, 40 Ks per week). |

I liked the comparison with James Beatties slow start. Man that was slow.
Damian Downs should be given a fresh chance. Maybe Tonda Eckert can make him more confident.
Elsewhere I can see Ross Stewart finding it hard to find the grass greener than it is at our place. |

A much delayed and short comment from a Danish Saints fan.
Thanks for a fine report to Nick and for all of the above comments.
This was clearly the best performance for years by a Saints team.
We have to give TA a lot of credit for this.
I really, really needed this type of performance and victory.
My winter depression almost dissolved. |

Comment | Will Still Can Now Wing It In Formation Change
at 00:00:54
With Fellows and the other new winger in + Finno Azaz - AND Sammy Edozie still with us (and fully committed to Saints, I hope) - we have some decent break through players, don't we?
But do we have a decent target man, a proper no 9 of f.i. Che Adams quality?, who can help others score 25 goals in the Championship? with his physicality?
I hope so. Let's give Downs and the LN Drogba some support. If they fail I hope we find a proper no 9 in our academy or buy one in january - hopefully not too late.
COME ON YOU SAINTS <3
Let's burn off the effing championship, Leeds- Burnley style! |

at 17:09:23
I hope Damion Downs has played for USA in this international break. And scored.
Or will play and score.
Has he played? Scored?
I see his potential as a big strong no 9. We will see.
He did not play particularly well in his first games for us, but hopefully he will come good and he did get an assist for Stephens very late winner vs Wrexham on his debut. |

Comment | Jesse Marsch Is Not Nathan Jones Mk 2.
at 18:52:51
I'm neither warm nor cold on Jesse M. I like his passion and he has a good record with working with young players as I understand it. His technical area behavior - some times almost arrogant - worries me a little, but at the same time, if he can galvanize our strengthened squad and find our best 11 quickly and get points on the board with whatever behavior, I'll be happy.
Jones was a huge risk and big mistake in hindsight.
What a strange season this has been - buying so many youngsters in the summer but no class striker which we needed the most, -> then we sack RH and get Nathan Jones in and use a January Saints record fortune, splashing the cash, to get 2 exciting attacking players in (+ a championship right back for 750.000 pounds) + we recall Bednarek from loan in stead of Tella, who does so well in Burnley.
'Good' and 'bad' question marks all over the place.
Now, with 16 games back in the PL, bottom of the table, we are in a situation where we - with a far better squad than when the season took off - could be clever and lucky enough to sign up a new manager who will actually get us out of the bottom three with 48 points to play for.
Is that manager Jesse Marsch? I'm not saying he isn't. I hope he is, if we take him.
But what about Nigel Pearson?
Anyway, all the best to Saints and my fellow Saints supporters from a Danish Saints fan since January 1980 <3
Let's hope we can still turn this around in the PL and get as far as possible in the FA Cup.
If we could do a 2014/2015 Leicester City like relegation escape miracle, it would give me great happiness. With or without Nigel Pearson. |

Comment | Southampton V Blackpool The Preview
at 17:48:15
My verdict is a deserved win based on our first half dominance.
Don't know why our (much changed but) ok playing team let Blackpool back with approximately 15 minutes to go, 2-0 down, when they scored to 2-1. Before that they actually had a great chance to equalize when our offside "trap" was non-existing, but Padeva didn't hit the target with Willy Caballero out of position (after Willy had bravely saved Padevas first attempt)
8 changes from the line up vs Newcastle was expected, and the only player i.m.o. who really didn't perform particularly well was Maitland-Niles at right back. Too sloppy.
2 fine goals by Perraud - the first a direct freekick through the wall and into the far corner - the second after fine opportunistic ball-carrying by Perraud towards and into Blackpools penalty area before a one-two with Mara and then a fine first touch by Perraud before he hammered the ball in the net. 2-0.
A very good performance in defense by Lyanco i.m.o. and a ditto in attack by Edozie, who twisted and turned well, especially in the first half.
The rest did ok, though Mara disappointed me apart from getting an assist. I think Nathan Jones (NJ) - overall - will be ok satisfied with the performance and the WIN :)
On to round 5 in The FA Cup and on to the second leg of the League Cup vs Saudi Arabia United in 3 days time.
Come on You Saints <3 |

A win tonight by 1 or 2 goals would be brilliant for Saints. Even a draw gives us a chance.

Comment | Southampton At Everton The Preview
at 11:50:23
I agree with most comments. Good article Nick.
I hate Goodison Park as much as any, but there are some positive circumstances before we go to Goodison today. One of them is Evertons players', managers' and fans' questionable mood...
I'm afraid, unfortunately, that Romeo Lavia is not fully fit, so I expect him to be replaced.
Elyounoussi played ok when he came on vs City - in a deeper role than usually, but maybe Aribo plays from the start (in a deeper role) or why not Alcarez?
This is the 4th match in 14 days, so maybe Arma gets a rest and Orsic starts? I expect Adams to start in stead of Mara, who ran his lungs out 2.5 days ago.
There will and should be changes in the team that beat City 2.5 days ago to add energy to the team.

Good job NJ, good job Saints.
I understand and accept decent critizism, but fook the "supporters" of this club who gets a hard on from critiZising everything about Saints, 24/7.
They are not real supporters and I don't like these people.
Saints 2 - 0 M. City :) -> bring on N'Castle in the semis.

Comment | Late Rush For Tickets For Manchester City Clash

110 % behind Nathan Jones (NJ). Let's give the guy a chance and see what he can do in the next 6-7 matches. Watching Che Adams putting his arm around NJ as the two of them began to walk off the pitch at Selhurst Park gave me an indication that NJ could be in the proces of getting the players' trust. I hope I'm right. |

After watching the pre-match conference for tonights game I actually thought Nathan Jones did a good job answering all questions. The man is certainly not stupid, and I thought he was pretty humble too.
Please, let's stay together as fans and support both our team and manager.
Tonights game is in many ways a free hit, so let's save the nail biting for saturday when we meet (a very mediocre) Neverton and just give our players and manager some good, old noisy support as we - in my opinion - did so well at Selhurst Park. |
