Says he doesn't know about his situation, but knows he was told by Ralph that this was his only chance to play....until he was called back because of McCarthy's season-ending injury. Jaidi praises him for his attitude in the time he was with the U23s. Seems he's a good lad...I hope things turn round for him. I know lots of fans turned on him....for being highly paid and not playing, but none of us know what was going on. And very few of us would walk out on contract with guaranteed wages either. As a side issue...must have been tough on the usual U23 keepers, but that's the problem with a playing in a position with no other options.
Not sure people turned on him for being highly paid and not playing. My point was it sure softened the blow, with the wage and support he received from the club he is very privileged. All us ordinary folk struggle with more ****, considerably less money and less support and just have to get the hell on with it.
Ralph has just invited me to watch a Saints training session on Wednesday night! Very decent of him. Snapped up 4 tickets...

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/17...-by-youngsters-as-part-of-big-issue-campaign/ Latest edition of the Big Issue features articles written by Southampton youngsters. There was recently a series of photos released with Ralph taking part in various events that interested the young....no doubt these feature in the latest Issue.
Saints goal of the season contenders released. I would list, but I’ll leave it to someone that cares a bit more than me.
