Match Day Thread Southampton V West Bromwich Albion Saturday 16th January KO 15:00

Who would have called that

 

So nearly three!!

 

TARGS

 

To be fair, JWP was the last player I would have backed for a hat-trick. I'd have put Forster ahead of him but come on son! It's just what you need.

 

JWP on a hat-trick.

 

I believe that's 2 JWP set pieces!

 

World would blow up.

 

Needs to score direct from a corner for a proper deadball hat trick.

 

Looked like a clear penalty to me, Targett embarrassed him with a quick side step. Quality.

 

Oh god that would be amazing.

 

As news trickled out, teams across England would abandon their games. Soon, pitches the world over would go silent. All would know that there is simply no reason to continue, for the pinnacle has been reached.

 

Would like a third please before Ricky comes on...

 

POSITIVE POSITIVE no relaxing in the second half!!!!

 

I think it was a penalty. Not a sidestep, Targs tried to block the player from getting to the ball and in doing so the brom player went through the back of Targett's leg. You could say it was a coming together maybe, maybe is the luck we need

 

Its amazing what can change in a few days. Thinking back to a week ago and the pervading mood amongst saints fans compared to now, with Austin signed, a solid win against Watford and us looking comfortable so far. Lets just bring this game home and then we can go back to making hugely optimistic predictions and looking for ways to bestow titles on Ron/Les/Ralph/Kat.

 

West Brom have been better first 2 minutes of this half than the whole of first half

 

So, Long's passing today has been incredible. It's quite possible that they were all mis-hit shots, however.

 

Need to take a little more control of this - we are looking less assertive. (Great counter-attack by Long/Mane - pass from Long could have been better).

 

West Brom back to being dreadful

 

Tadic coming on.
