I hate to say it but I thought J-Rod was far more effective when he came on against QPR. I don't think it helps Lallana being Captain either, give it back to SRL!

Because of QPR's position and Harry been involved it's got to Saints fans more than it otherwise would have. Norwich away is a big one, 3 points will get those fans wavering back on side and more importantly give the players a boost of confidence. QPR will be forgotten!

And again, getting involved with spats with skates is giving them and their wind ups credence, which they don't deserve. And let's not turn on each other, the bigger picture is survival an improvement, not civil war!

Up the Saints!

I mean, Messi is quite often mentioned in the same breath as Adam and to be fair he's a decent player, but do Barcelona make him captain just because he's their best? No, they give that job to the great big Brian May-esque centre-back. Likewise, we should give the captain's armband to Morgan Schneiderlin. I don't mean to be all Lady Di about this, but he is our rock.

Heh - to be fair Carles Puyol has always reminded me of that drummer from the Stereophonics that died a couple of years back. Stuart Cable he was called (his mum's called Mable Cable, which is the greatest name ever). But I thought that might be a bit of an 'esoteric' reference.

WHAT a player, though. (Puyol, I mean - not the former Stereophonics drummer.)

QPR was a freak result and should be treated as such. It was like that bit in Pulp Fiction where that kid opens fire on Jules and Vince with a massive gun from almost point blank range and somehow the six shots go straight past them and into the kitchen wall.

What did Jules and Vince do? Did they spend a week navel gazing and questioning their defensive positioning? No, they shrugged and, without even speaking, unleashed both barrells on the kid in question like it wasn't even a thing and shot at him until he was dead as f***. That's what we should do to Norwich. We should hurt them ie a lot.

He is the defenition of a rock for sure. You would always want him in your team and imagine the stability a player like him would bring to Saints.

You would so get your hair cut though, dont you think? He even puts 'product' in it too..

Too right! Give it to them with both barrels. We have some real class, especially in midfield. The QPR match hasn't changed that. We have players who for half the season were playing a completly different style to what they are now being asked to play. It will take time and have it's ups and downs.

If in the summer if we can well and truly get the back sorted and with the players having got used to this style of play, next season has a lot of promise.

Well said BbB..

I still say that at the end of the season it will be about whether we can in our last few games take a much higher % of the chances we create...

...the defence is what the defence is...borderline shocking most of the time..

...yet we can really string some moves together..indeed it is usual for us to create more chances than the opposition and still lose that speaks volumes...

..in short our opposition create little and still win...

Conversion of chances will decide our fate, said it since september..sooner or later we have got to get some serious scores on the doors..have'nt we?

I totally agree about a rock being the captain. IMO a centre back or a ball winning midfielder with experience is the way to go. Jimmy Case was so perfect in that role. A tough customer with a wealth of experience who was vocal. These positions also offer the perfect vantage point to see how things are unfolding in a game.

Precisely. If you want to see a team that wins every week then go and support Man United (who literally never, ever lose - honest). We are always going to lose some games, and sometimes it'll be against teams we expect to beat, but I firmly believe we'll win more than we lose and we'll do it playing a better style of football than has ever been seen at this club. These are happy days.

I can see MP bringing someone in to command the game from the midfield both creatively and in terms of being MPs voice on the pitch.
Just hope he doesnt need an interpretor running alongside him.
Like you said above BBB, with a few wise purchases this summer we could have a hell of a side.

Is it me, or is this thread refreshingly positive and free of Wums and Skunts?

I do see your point but I'm pretty sure the ref wouldn't allow us to shoot people - and with the TV cameras on, we'd never get away with it.

You may be thinking we could sneak a small handgun on with a silencer attached and then shoot their goalie as he attempted to save from Rickie. That's certainly possible.

However, if we are to get away with it, I think you need to think much harder about how exactly we could get rid of the body.

The Skates have devoured our freak loss and coupled with their freak victory they have had a spring in their shifty step. That was until the grim reaper came a calling yesterday with a new court date. Nothing will pour them a taller glass of reality than the reaper's calling card, in this case court papers!

I think we already have someone who can boss the midfield. Seriously, I don't think we'd get anyone better than Morgan for under £20m this summer. Plus, I also think Forren is going to work wonders for our defence, once his Saints career eventually gets going.

I reckon what we really need is a fox in the box type player to feed off scraps created in front of goal. I'd quite a non-racist Luis Suarez.

We need to make sure Cork is back covering for Clyne when he's going forward and Forren/Yoshida are covering for Shaw/Fox. We've been caught out far too many times with balls into the empty right and left back positions in the last two matches. Cut out those paths and we'll reduce the opposition chances by half atleast.

I think we already have someone who can boss the midfield. Seriously, I don't think we'd get anyone better than Morgan for under £20m this summer. Plus, I also think Forren is going to work wonders for our defence, once his Saints career eventually gets going. I reckon what we really need is a fox in the box type player to feed off scraps created in front of goal. I'd quite a non-racist Luis Suarez.

I rate Morgan and maybe he could do the job, but his consistency will need to be top draw. I think Poch is going to get a player in the summer like Suarez but playing in more of an attacking midfield role. We need sb with a good shot and finishing skills like you said.

You are right, we are getting caught out in that hole.
Of late, the likes of Yosh and Cork have attempted to cover but not stayed on their feet or not got to the man quick enough.
That might be one of the reasons that both Fonte and Fox headed to the goal with that second newcastle goal - they were told that if someone gets behind the defence they need to get back and cover..
Our defensive play is still very reactive in my opinion, we need someone who can read the game better - has anyone seen the Forren youtube clip?
He seems to be the man..

Heh - to be fair Carles Puyol has always reminded me of that drummer from the Stereophonics that died a couple of years back. Stuart Cable he was called (his mum's called Mable Cable, which is the greatest name ever). But I thought that might be a bit of an 'esoteric' reference. WHAT a player, though. (Puyol, I mean - not the former Stereophonics drummer.)

He is the defenition of a rock for sure. You would always want him in your team and imagine the stability a player like him would bring to Saints. You would so get your hair cut though, dont you think? He even puts 'product' in it too..

I totally agree about a rock being the captain. IMO a centre back or a ball winning midfielder with experience is the way to go. Jimmy Case was so perfect in that role. A tough customer with a wealth of experience who was vocal. These positions also offer the perfect vantage point to see how things are unfolding in a game.

I can see MP bringing someone in to command the game from the midfield both creatively and in terms of being MPs voice on the pitch. Just hope he doesnt need an interpretor running alongside him. Like you said above BBB, with a few wise purchases this summer we could have a hell of a side. Is it me, or is this thread refreshingly positive and free of Wums and Skunts?

I personally find watching your giddiness over securing a victory highly amusing. It demonstrates just how far your club has descended when a victory over Crewe causes you to break into a joyous jig. But alas now it's t time for t Cinderella to return to t stove in the t kitchen. and remember, there isn't a happy end to this t fairy tale!

I was at the game and out of the corner of my eye I believe the qpr defender DELIBERATELY TOOK HIM OUT with an elbow to the face and then fell on the ground himself.
IMO the ref bought the "con" and didn't take any action. However I would have liked to see it again on the bbc or sky. If the normal picture didn't see anything, I'm sure the picture from behind the goal would have seen something.

But as usual the MOTD/sky didn't even mention the incident or than he had gone off.

Specifically, does the death of the president spell an end to the programme of nationalisation and resistance to the neo-liberal ideals of the IMF, or will his legacy survive in the actions of his successors?

spot on but current tactics mean this won't happen. MP has abandoned flat back four in the proper zones and the so-called 'pressing game' that some call the 'amateur impatient game' means the whole back four are too far up the pitch too often relative to the midfielders, its only the full back that get highlighted because as basic maths suggests they have further to run to cut off crucial runs-in-on-goal.... Its pretty basic and if MP persists with those tactics then games may as well be decided by the roll of dice. The reason using full backs works like that in spain is simply because there is almost always a deep mifielder acting as a sweeper sometimes and team usually play the loan striker, so it all fits together nicely. MP needs to think this one through. Others will disagree of course !!

The QPR game is done and dusted. We didn't play well but let's not sweep under the carpet the good performances we've seen from the team before that. Rome wasn't built in a day! Some of you allow the skates to get under your skin, which is crazy considering their plight. They shouldn't even be acknowledged, as soon they may not even be an entity.

Because of QPR's position and Harry been involved it's got to Saints fans more than it otherwise would have. Norwich away is a big one, 3 points will get those fans wavering back on side and more importantly give the players a boost of confidence. QPR will be forgotten!

And again, getting involved with spats with skates is giving them and their wind ups credence, which they don't deserve. And let's not turn on each other, the bigger picture is survival an improvement, not civil war!

Up the Saints!

QPR was a freak result and should be treated as such. It was like that bit in Pulp Fiction where that kid opens fire on Jules and Vince with a massive gun from almost point blank range and somehow the six shots go straight past them and into the kitchen wall.

What did Jules and Vince do? Did they spend a week navel gazing and questioning their defensive positioning? No, they shrugged and, without even speaking, unleashed both barrells on the kid in question like it wasn't even a thing and shot at him until he was dead as f***. That's what we should do to Norwich. We should hurt them ie a lot.

I do see your point but I'm pretty sure the ref wouldn't allow us to shoot people - and with the TV cameras on, we'd never get away with it.

You may be thinking we could sneak a small handgun on with a silencer attached and then shoot their goalie as he attempted to save from Rickie. That's certainly possible.

However, if we are to get away with it, I think you need to think much harder about how exactly we could get rid of the body.

It can be done. I think we give Jose Fonte a rag with chloroform on it and get him to sneak up behind Grant Holt when he's up for a corner and instantly 'neutralise' him. Then we get all the fans to pop off to the pie kiosk and pick up a few sachets of Colmans each and we literally dissolve him in a bath of mustard. Admittedly, there's quite a lot of Grant Holt to dissolve, but we can do it. Together as one.

And for us as what, 37 or something( can't be arsed to check the exact details, although I'm sure someone will correct me) Depends what you consider success eh? Buying a cup in a season when the other 3 semi finalists were lower league, or getting into and staying in the toughest league in the world? Know what I think is bigger mush.

Ah, FTBU, I'm glad you're around. I've been thinking a lot about the future of Venezuelan economy post-Chavez and I reckon you're the man that can help me make sense of it.

Specifically, does the death of the president spell an end to the programme of nationalisation and resistance to the neo-liberal ideals of the IMF, or will his legacy survive in the actions of his successors?

I predict a riot!

I don't think anyone was surprised by Savile, but I think people might be slightly taken aback when they hear what Ted Heath got up to on his boat. But he was merely the tip of a very large iceberg of senior Tory and establishment pedlos. A big, big story is going to break on it at some point this year.

Exactly! People are talking about strengthening the midfield but it's not necessary. My understanding of the system we play is that centre backs move to cover full backs going forward. Both Fox and Shaw were caught too far forward for the goals but cover should have been there.
Get this right, improve on the finishing and we will really be hard to beat.

Up the Saints!

QPR was a freak result and should be treated as such. It was like that bit in Pulp Fiction where that kid opens fire on Jules and Vince with a massive gun from almost point blank range and somehow the six shots go straight past them and into the kitchen wall.

What did Jules and Vince do? Did they spend a week navel gazing and questioning their defensive positioning? No, they shrugged and, without even speaking, unleashed both barrells on the kid in question like it wasn't even a thing and shot at him until he was dead as f***. That's what we should do to Norwich. We should hurt them ie a lot.

I do see your point but I'm pretty sure the ref wouldn't allow us to shoot people - and with the TV cameras on, we'd never get away with it.

You may be thinking we could sneak a small handgun on with a silencer attached and then shoot their goalie as he attempted to save from Rickie. That's certainly possible.

However, if we are to get away with it, I think you need to think much harder about how exactly we could get rid of the body.

It can be done. I think we give Jose Fonte a rag with chloroform on it and get him to sneak up behind Grant Holt when he's up for a corner and instantly 'neutralise' him. Then we get all the fans to pop off to the pie kiosk and pick up a few sachets of Colmans each and we literally dissolve him in a bath of mustard. Admittedly, there's quite a lot of Grant Holt to dissolve, but we can do it. Together as one.

spot on but current tactics mean this won't happen. MP has abandoned flat back four in the proper zones and the so-called 'pressing game' that some call the 'amateur impatient game' means the whole back four are too far up the pitch too often relative to the midfielders, its only the full back that get highlighted because as basic maths suggests they have further to run to cut off crucial runs-in-on-goal.... Its pretty basic and if MP persists with those tactics then games may as well be decided by the roll of dice. The reason using full backs works like that in spain is simply because there is almost always a deep mifielder acting as a sweeper sometimes and team usually play the loan striker, so it all fits together nicely. MP needs to think this one through. Others will disagree of course !!

Amateur impatient game eh?
What you are talking about pressing high up from the front, just like Barca play..Or how AVB is taking Spurs to the next level?

the next time barca loose the ball in the attacking 3rd and it gets played long against them, freeze the picture and look at the formation..... its very very basic stuff.... Also watch home many times Messi will spin his back away from goal and play a 30 yard pass into midifeld, its a midfielder who picks up the ball and he won't have two centre halfs up his backside....Norwich will be a replay of QPR if we dont keep our defence deeper in what is bound to be congested midfield...

The match was certainly physical.What else would you expect from Arry. Howard Webb I felt should have handed over the whistle to Harry Webb who would have probably been more effective, or could have at least entertained us. One clear cut penalty denied.
Such is footie!
LALA needs to enjoy the opportunity now afforded by the new style of play.
The style is tailor made for him and Ramires and spider, it would be great to see Corky score, I don't see why not. Ricky makes as much as he finishes and is essential either way.

Dont tell any bicycle jokes or people will think your a cycle path.

Now we have got round to it i am feeling deflated in tandem with others..

..keeping track of the correspondance nice to see no skates peddling nonsense..

...If we get a grip and don't put the brakes on then we can push (bike honey while singing a song) on.

Trick cyclist's would question whether our brains are in gear..but there it is..

Up the Saints.

I wish I could predict the end of the season league table with Southampton with 40/42 points and are safe, I think Saints need 13 of the 30 points available to stay in the Premiership, what are the thoughts of others on here?

Much as I love Adam, I don't think he should be captain. The captaincy belongs to the rocks in a team - not the creatives, who should be free to roam and weave magic without the burden of captaincy. I mean, Messi is quite often mentioned in the same breath as Adam and to be fair he's a decent player, but do Barcelona make him captain just because he's their best? No, they give that job to the great big Brian May-esque centre-back. Likewise, we should give the captain's armband to Morgan Schneiderlin. I don't mean to be all Lady Di about this, but he is our rock.

spot on but current tactics mean this won't happen. MP has abandoned flat back four in the proper zones and the so-called 'pressing game' that some call the 'amateur impatient game' means the whole back four are too far up the pitch too often relative to the midfielders, its only the full back that get highlighted because as basic maths suggests they have further to run to cut off crucial runs-in-on-goal.... Its pretty basic and if MP persists with those tactics then games may as well be decided by the roll of dice. The reason using full backs works like that in spain is simply because there is almost always a deep mifielder acting as a sweeper sometimes and team usually play the loan striker, so it all fits together nicely. MP needs to think this one through. Others will disagree of course !!

Amateur impatient game eh?
What you are talking about pressing high up from the front, just like Barca play..Or how AVB is taking Spurs to the next level?
Yeah, very amateur..

the next time barca loose the ball in the attacking 3rd and it gets played long against them, freeze the picture and look at the formation..... its very very basic stuff.... Also watch home many times Messi will spin his back away from goal and play a 30 yard pass into midifeld, its a midfielder who picks up the ball and he won't have two centre halfs up his backside....Norwich will be a replay of QPR if we dont keep our defence deeper in what is bound to be congested midfield...

I don't see it the same as you then, although my watching of Barca and Real everyweekend on TV is probably not enough to judge...
Barca play high up, but they leave one, or occasionally two defenders back, usually Puyol and Pique( apart from when he makes one of his 3 or 4 forward runs in a match), and the two fullbacks are really pushing up -admittedly Alves more than Alba, but Alves plays mainly like an extra midfielder.
They have players like Busquets who will drop deep and hold the space in front of the defenders of course, like Morgan does for us.
The real difference is that Barca don't lose the ball so easily in dangerous positions, those being somewhere between halfway line and opposition's last third-when we lose the ball there, it means teams can get their head up and play the early ball in behind us. And, our two centre halves aren't that quick, so they get pulled out of position trying to chase it down. It's ok losing the ball in the final third, but I think it's that middle third that keeps catching us out.
I agree that playing this way, we can't also be trying to play offside, so at least one of Fonte and Maya needs to drop back into a sweeper position.

I'm still not convinced Poopey are any more succesful than Preston North End or Bury etc.. How many seasons in the last 50 have you been top flight? 10 or maybe less? And for us as what, 37 or something( can't be arsed to check the exact details, although I'm sure someone will correct me) Depends what you consider success eh? Buying a cup in a season when the other 3 semi finalists were lower league, or getting into and staying in the toughest league in the world? Know what I think is bigger mush.

boring stats

what is bigger mush. marouane fellaini's hairdo or kevin keegan's,

Exactly! People are talking about strengthening the midfield but it's not necessary. My understanding of the system we play is that centre backs move to cover full backs going forward. Both Fox and Shaw were caught too far forward for the goals but cover should have been there.
Get this right, improve on the finishing and we will really be hard to beat.

STID

wrong wer have scored goals improve the defending .will be enough to keep us up .as we did under nigel adkins before nc sacked him.we have taken a backward step .we kept playing the same 5 borac maya fonte shaw clyne .then fonte and clyne got knocks .in reserve cover not good enough .which was nigels problem he did not sign a decent left back or half .i think that cost him the job in the end .but if we get those 5 back in .we should improve fonte as come back .just shaw now .we need to adapt how we defend with this new pressing game .were pushing up newcastle in qpr both hit diagonal long balls .teams are watching us and doing the same thing.we need to be less predictable teams can suck us up the field when they have the ball .and hit a long ball over the midield leavung the defense unprotected

Was Bergerac based on a fictional character, or was it adapted from one of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's lesser-known biographies?
f the latter, surely the prestige, but old vehicle, was a "poetic licence" 20thcentury update to the original story?

Some of you who have followed Saints for a good few seasons may well remember the last time Lallana was off injured for some time I can't remember if it was in the Championship on the way down or when we were in the depths of the First Div. either way when he came back it took 4 or 5 games before he got his confidence back and played like we know he can.

As for Norwich I think this is going to be a real tough one, they have always been shall we say a robust team (that is being kind) I think they will try and out muscle us, as were the tactics of QPR and if you have a ref that turns a blind eye as did Mr. Webb I am afraid there is no plan B available to deal with that we only have 2 maybe 3 who can dish it out we are renowned for playing football and do not have enough hard players to rough up the opposition. Realistically I will be happy with a draw and over the moon if we get 3 points.

I do recall Adam being out with a groin strain last season. When he came back it did take quite a while for him to get back friring on all cylinders, long enough that I became concerned that he might have done something more permanent.

So I guess he may just be a player who needs match fitness to buildup over time; he's certainly been a little below par since he came back after the knee injury.

But eventually he did frir on all cylinders, isn't that right!
