Decent fight from him to beat 2 defenders and poke it in at the back post from a cross
And we are Southampton in the same league as Millwall not Liverpool.
9 times out of 10 away fans are held on the walkway. Was about 30 police lining it when I left.
You might have got out just in time but I'd be surprised if they let the bulk of Saints fans join the platform same time as them. Especially as a group of Saints fans were kettled beforehand.
Absolutely and he now has an opportunity to show that he can successfully get the team back on track, if he can (I think he will) then he gives SR a decent nudge!!
Did he? We should never have got rid!
Manning set piece. THB (who else?) header on goal, keeper parried, Azaz followed up.
Disappointed with the lack of proper meltdowns tbh
Was wondering how long it would take? Match day supper nights feeling happy? Come on there must be something to be grumpy about, it’s in the DNAof most Saints fan, yes? Or has something changed!!
Hi there
Was interested to see how it would go without Scienza whose form i think is the major reason for our recent performances - with credit to Tonda for helping to enable it.
For me we looked a bit lost going forward without him. And Millwall really benefited from not having to think about how to handle him.

12 from 15pts is still a good haul from the last 5 games.
We're not far off the promotion mixer
Portsmouth are in the bottom 3.
Just need to ensure the loss doesn't become 2 or 3 and we have a week to recoup and get Leo healthy again as he seems to make everyone around him tick.

We just couldn't handle Millwall's press at all today. A bit too casual in possession unlike previous two games and this meant we resorted to hoofing it far too often. This issue was compounded by the fact we won barely any second balls so we'd constantly be under pressure.
Think Leo being out contributed massively in this regard as if he'd have bri playing I doubt they'd have been able to be so aggressive.
Also think a couple of old habits crept in today which contributed to our poor performance. Namely players taking one touch too many while in possession and being half a yard too far away from their players when defending.
Overall not too down hearted though, conceding so late is gutting but it was always going to be a tough match today and came within a whisker of nicking a point.
Also worth noting that we scored twice as many today as Millwall have conceded in the previous 5 home matches so it's good to know we can still carry a threat against a good side while playing poorly.
All about how we respond for me. Got 3 very winnable games coming up before we play Cov.

Definitely agree about Scienza and their press. He finds it so easy to beat a man and break the press that it we would either have been countering at will, or theyd back off a little.
I feel like he also makes players like Azaz and Fellows better because the attention defenders are forced to give leo means the others get an extra few yards of space.
So earlier in the week he was the messiah and now after this defeat he isn’t. Most good managers suffer defeats so I think we really need to chill
By the way what a save from Baz in the first half.
Lincoln wake up! We are the Saints and we are no longer playing against the likes of Liverpool.
Quite frankly I do get pissed off when we loose but I don’t loose it. Life is far more important than a game of football. You just need to accept that Saints will never amount to much. We might win the odd game against a big club in a cup game but it is now so rigged against a club like us and most clubs that you really need to accept that for your health.
