    The Cricket Thread

    Very sad news. Brilliant batsman for Hampshire and England. Loved watching him or his brother Chris winning the match for us in those big one day matches at the County ground back in the day

    Match Day Thread Millwall vs Saints - Saturday, November 29 - 15:00 KO

    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...

    all sorts of good things going on when we go forward, loving Fellows running at them every time (obviously Sciena too)

    Tonda Eckert named new Head Coach

    I dont personally believe that even SR, in the mess they have got us into, would explore all the available options and decide that appointing a guy who is a skate through and though is the man for this moment. Our fanbase could implode.

    Match Day Thread Will Still's useless XI* v Preston North End, 1st November, 3pm

    Still has made some dreadful decisions, chief amongst them his insistence on having 3 CBs on the pitch. Bar Scienza, the transfer window is looking worse by the week. As for the players I can only think of 3 who are currently playing at a level required to not finish in the bottom 3...

    Confirmed: Will Still sacked

    I have no idea why we need to be playing 3 CBs; yes we created some chances but we lack a player in the opposition box because that player is stood on the half way line. We also spend an incredible amount of time passing it between the 3 CBs because they lack an advanced player to pass it to...

    Match Day Thread Derby County vs Saints, Sat 4th October, 15:00

    We don't look like a team, especially going forward, just a collection of individuals. Derby looked a bang average championship team yet probably should have won.

    Match Day Thread Derby County vs Saints, Sat 4th October, 15:00

    Given the attacking quality we have (on paper) I dont see any plan or basic idea of a plan of how to attack. There is no plan.

    Hopefully we will sell 2 Centre Backs on Monday so he is forced to play a back 4.

    Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 1 - 10 June, 16 June - 1 September

    Everton got the better end of that deal for me. Hard to be sure how a youngster will turn out especially after being so completely different in the 2 halves of last season but he has a high ceiling. If he struggles or sets the world on fire at Everton, neither would surprise me. If selling...

    Match Day Thread Saints vs Stoke City - Saturday, August 23 - 15:00 KO

    Spot on, but unfortunately it's stuff we already know; we know 3 CBs doesn't work, we know Armstrong at CF doesn't work. We don't need 5 at the back and 2 defensive midfielders in front of them in this league. It's resulted in poor performances against Wrexham Northampton and now Stoke...

    Match Day Thread Ipswich vs Saints - Sunday, August 17 - 12:00 KO

    If we played a back 4, a settled back 4, with the extra man in midfield or up front I reckon we could smash this level. With 3 CBs we just look permanently confused when we defend

    Statue for Manning. Absolutely outstanding free kick, good crossing and got in behind for the winner. Fair play to him.
