 | News Comment | Southampton At Sheffield Wednesday The Preview at 11:07:53
This is just the sort of game where we could come a cropper. An early goal is really a must. Hopefully the great defence splitting passes we are seeing from Azaz and THB can pay quick dividends. I would also like to see Stewart used sparingly. As with Reece James at Chelsea strictly managing the minutes and even the position played is a must to successfully rehabilitate players with long term injuries. |

Great to see Terry Hurlock mentioned. This current Saints side is starting to have that solid late 80's early 90's feel about it. Solid pros doing a job. Bree. Downes, Larin ,Matsuki, THB Peretz all fit this mould. Add on a bit of flair in Scienza and Azaz and it's a potent combination. COYR |

Yet another demonstration that we should sign Stewart to that one year extension straight away. Downes was lucky to stay on as well after getting drawn in by Coady's shthousery. Azaz had another frustrating game when nothing seemed to come together. Bree was excellent. Should have got that header in the second half tho. We were well on top. Still on an unbeaten run. COYR |

Given that Stewart generated 2 assists and a goal it's a tragedy that we have barely seen him play. Looks a real talent when he plays. Just hope he can stay fit and earn a new deal. Now won 2 games out of character - bullet header on Saturday and now a comeback. Things are looking up! COYR |

The problem is that although it's only 4 points to catch Wrexham, it's 6 points from Wrexham to 5th place. There are now an awful lot of teams playing for 6th place. Making up 10 points in 15 games is a lot to ask. Just got up keep playing well and see where we can get. COYR |
 | News Comment | What Do Southampton Do With A Problem Called Edozie at 08:40:21
It's always been the way to berate footballers for perceived faults particularly when they earn far more than the most of us. It can be a very short tough career though and some may be blessed with the physical skills but just not be able to cut it mentally. I hope Edozie moves on from whatever this is - attitude, form or other difficulties. The guy has talent but whether this is the club or career for him, only he knows |
 | News Comment | Can Tonda Eckert Get Saints Promotion ! The Stats Say Yes He Can at 09:34:30
Next 5 games are the key. If we can get close to maximum points in them then we we should be very close to a play off position. However even if we achieve promotion, unless there is going to be serious investment in the squad in physically big, capable PL standard players, any promotion season will be a bloodbath again. |

Based on what I have seen of Peretz he is athletic, shouts a lot and distributes the ball well. He is liable to make the odd mistake though. I agree that he is an upgrade. I agree that the players returning from injury/ loan are very valuable additions to our playing squad and probably exceed the value of any new player that could have been brought in in January. |
 | News Comment | Southampton Confirm Adam Armstrong Departure at 22:25:00
Great striker for us in Championship but couldn't seem to make the step up in the PL. Always put a shift in but oddly never seemed to really connect with the fans, even after scoring the goal that took us back up. Hope it goes well for him at Wolves. |
 | News Comment | Has The Southampton Revolution Started at 10:01:02
If it's true about Arma, I think Wolves are being quite switched on Selling off PL players at top prices and buying in proven Championship experience for next season - Manager and now striker to have a great chance to go straight back up. I still think we are too wedded to buying young players with resale potential. You need a mix of players in any squad. Regarding Arma, perhaps he sees it like we do. A club quite muddled in its approach and has had enough. We loaned him out last year, which tells a story. |

Lovely pass from THB to Fellows for that first goal. Confidence seems to be up and 4 at the back seems to be working. Peretz seems to have something about him despite the odd howler, missing the ball completely with an air shot almost gave Stoke an early gift but then redeemed himself with a fantastic diving save a few minutes later. Stewart has such a great footballing brain, plays some lovely lay offs and tries to get in the right position to receive balls. Fingers crossed he can stay fit until the end of the season. COYR |
 | News Comment | Southampton Put In Bid For Defender But Is He What They Need at 11:55:30
Part of me thinks we should be going all out for promotion this year - parachute payments, stronger championship league next year but part of me thinks we need to build a far better squad before we get anywhere near the Prem. If true, this news falls firmly under building for the future. |
