    This feels like a Football Manager style run! Now we just need to win the FA Cup and we’ll be Champions of Europe by 2027!

    Just a word for Will Smallbone, I feel that he is a little underappreciated by Saints fans, his range of passing was superb and it was a classic CM performance today.

    Huge shout out to Will Smallbone today. I'm glad Martin sang his praises after the match on Solent because he was my MOTM, just ahead of Fraser and Adarma. He was so good in the middle of the park today. Fraser and Adarma were also excellent, as was KWP.

    I thought manning was good also. No complaints about him.

    One of my favourite things about today is that I thought Sheff Wed were alright. I'm not saying they were amazing, but there have been many worse away teams at SMS this season. But we were just on another level to them.

    Probably the best I've seen Smallbone and Manning in a Saints shirt (but neither are contenders for my MOTM). Very pleased with both. Kyle's performance in the first half though was just a joke; like watching Virgil play for us. Different class.

    They were a lot better than when we played them on the first day of the season IMO, despite the scorelines. Think they'll stay up under Rohl.

    KWP first half was great to watch. Excellent match and great atmosphere. It was a better test than some recently but it's just different experience seeing a team together, subs included, looking and working hard for a win. A shout for Gavin too, that save from the free kick, class!

    Wednesday played very much like us under Ralph. High tempo press first half. Completely ran out of gas second half and the high line was suicidal.

    I hope Rohl has a plan B because we really demonstrated how to play against them effectively today.

    Yeah I thought this. They also defended extremely narrowly and we murdered them out wide similar to us under Ralph.

    TBF I think their tactics will work against lesser teams and it has done. The gulf in quality was too much for them today.
