Are you sure the "kids" go? The sad thing about the last five or six years of this mediocrity is that Southampton are in danger losing the young generación of supporters in South Hampshire to the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and coming down market Chelsea and Liverpool. For example, does Lincoln's son really want to see this shambles? He might be asking his dad to take him.to Forest instead. It's nearer for starters, to his part of the world!
Said to my boy, 'Son, you don't have to sit through this misery, go and chill out doing something you enjoy'.
Laughable that Fernandes and Dibling are still out there. Then again, won't be Martin's problem if they get injured.
Look if we’re going to lose and it’s going to be Martin’s last game it might as well be 9 or 10. It’s easier to laugh about it afterwards if it is. Or at the very least reeeeally test SR’s resolve
Just taking a step back and what I am seeing is a team with absolutely zero organisation. We defend as a rabble with everyone being drawn towards the ball. We attack (rarely) in an equally disorganised way with little cohesion. We lack physicality across the squad - my one wish in the summer was for us to build a stronger and quicker midfield with power and pace but that was too much to hope for. We really are ****.
I bet Martin really got stuck into them at half time. He must be absolutely furious. That was unacceptable. To spend all week training and working towards this fixture, to only have 34% possession at half time is nothing short of a disgrace.
My lad is a bigger Saints fan than me mate! At the moment he's playing an online game with friends from school who all support the big 4 clubs. They're literally talking about the game and the lad is getting dogs abuse from his friends. He's taking it all in his stride by reminding them he's been to their grounds more often than they have! Although he's just stated he'd happily fill Russell Martin in personally so that's something No subs from RM for the second half. Tactical genius, he really is
For all this is appalling, and we’ve not even given them our free goal yet, Archer would have had a couple, possibly three.
