Match Day Thread Southampton v Derby County FA Cup Round 3 Replay Wednesday 16th January 7:45pm

[Qwerty]

Oh no we're out of the cup .

 

[Osvaldorama]

They did play well, you’d have thought they were the PL side for much of it.

 

[San Tejón]

Didn’t VAR go for them for their first goal?

 

[timatoketchup]

It's all about the league.

 

[OddRiverOakWizards]

Tonight again showed how vulnerable we are with a back four.

 

[LincolnSaint]

Absolute **** again. There doesn't even appear to be any hope of new signings on the horizon so nothing to even look forward to in that respect. I think the board are once again gambling on there being 3 worse teams than us

 

[SaintsForTheWin]

Can’t wait to see Pierre back. Makes a difference. They passed it through us with ease today.

Need a striker, and a creative midfielder.

 

[Lovelocum]

Hope Redders shakes that off quickly.

It’s not a drastic change of affairs for him so he’ll be fine.

 

[Schad]

Well, I think that we can officially say that we need actual improvements defensively if we desire our defending to improve.

 

[Velcro Roy]

Really ****ing **** how we can't hold a 2 goal lead against Derby twice. Should have played Bednarek over Stephens.

Why?

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

Why?

Because we've got to have someone as a scapegoat.

Stephens turn tonight.

 

[SaintsForTheWin]

It wasn’t our defence’s fault on the most part.

Ramsey fell asleep for the 2nd.

But they were getting between the lines well and causing us problems.

Hum, I have a very vague recollection “someone” has said that before, and for a few seasons!

Yeah, and it doesn't help when only 1 of your regular defensive line is playing. Vestergaard is good in a back 3 along with Maya and Bednarek. Stephens just isn't good enough. I'm not basing that just on tonight. I haven't seen anything from him that convinces he is a PL defender. Should have brought on Targett after we went 2 up, or maybe even Bednarek and go with 3 CB's. Ralph really should have shut up shop.

 

[Lovelocum]

Ramsey and Stephens were to blame for the first goal. Neither were close to their man.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Anybody want to buy a ticket for a room at Travelodge in Marylebone for a weekend in May?...

 

[San Tejón]

Credit to Derby.
They work hard, move the ball quickly and get forward in numbers to support the frontline.
They are a good team.
Difficult to understand how a team (albeit a changed team) can keep the lead with 10 men, at Leicester, yet get pulled back twice from 2-0 by a team from a lower league.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

If we only win games, when we have a full weeks prep, then Frankie boy might well have just saved us.

Just **** the **** off Saints, ****ing useless ****s.

Simply not good enough.

 

[tomw24]

If Derby or Accrington draw Man City in the 5th round then that will make me feel a whole lot better!
