    Ha! Love the fact that JWP is doing the ****ty job of lying behind the wall! Normally that job is given to a less senior player!

    Slightly worrying that we have only scored 1 goal in 3 friendlies. Always backed Adam and Che and bemoaned the chances the midfield gave them but even with a couple of attack minded midfielders brought in we still aren't giving them a lot of chances. Backing Ralph but we need to find a way in training to teach our players to find attacking throughballs or our wide players and wing backs to play 1-2s. We used to do it brilliantly under koeman

    Watford commentators purring about Stuart Armstrong. Just described him as head and shoulders above anyone else out there.

    FT: Watford 0-0 Saints

    Positives: New guys looked decent, defence looks like their confidence is rising with a proper GK behind them, a clean sheet and nobody injured

    Negatives: Didn't score again

    I'm not too concerned. We'll add a couple more attacking players by the time the season starts and we've already got Mara on the way too.

    The main positive for me is I didn't waste £5!

    If you enjoy reading too much into pre-season, then it could always be worse. :)

    Lavia is probably the stand out of pre-season so far. Playing his way into the starting line up for Spurs.

    I’m looking forward to Everton going 0-3 tomorrow afternoon too.

    We clearly have a problem going forwards, but the board already know this and have already started on addressing it.

    We already have 1 forward coming in, add another and another 10 and we'll be fine

    This. I'm not shocked we've struggled to score so far in pre-season - we haven't addressed our striker problems yet. Or at least we haven't signed anyone quite yet. It's happening though and I'm liking what I'm seeing from our new signings so far.

    So far, Saints are managing my expectations for next season very nicely

    Southampton Football Club is starting their own pay per view TV channel.
    The offer is £5 per game but they only pay if you watch to the end.

    Yes it is not like they are blind to the issue. If anything these games highlight it

    That Pedro bloke looks way too good for the Championship
