Thanks for giving me another cr4ppy nights sleep Saints! I live in Australia, and I am so happy we are playing a refreshing brand of football after years of dross that I had been looking forward to this game all day yesterday and ended up waking up at 4am (7pm UK time!) and then stayed up to read the reports on the internet of how the game was progressing! Great result and it's great to see so many positive comments for a change. Roll on Saturday when the Blackpool game is shown live her at 9.45 Saturday night!

You better hope you miss us in the cup, we would wipe the floor with your team of washed up old men.

Philips got stick because he bad-mouthed us when he left. I\'ve no sympathy for him. Not only are Saints playing well, they are playing well with different people in the side. That bodes well for the future when injuries mean the regulars might not be playing. Consistancy will be key to a successful season.

Being the first to post on this subject at 9.51pm I bet that you were not at the match last night. You are all talk and no do.

Having been \"cautiously optimistic\" since seeing three friendlies, and now two competitive games, it is great to see the positive momentum gathering. It is disapointing that people who clearly did not attend last night still want to look for negatives. I would recommend that everyone who still has doubts to \"take a gamble\" on Saturday and go and watch this young, enthusiastic and truely exciting team develop. No one knows just how far they can go, but beleive me it will be a joy to watch them. So stop moaning, get behind the team and tell your mates what they are missing. If we don\'t get behind the lads, then guess what, the moaners will re-emerge when we are forced to sell our young stars because of insufficient revenue. Saints Forever and \"enjoy the moment\", who knows - Premiership within 2/3 years??

People have been asking Lowe to give us our club back for a while now. Well I confirm he's given us our club back – at least in terms of pride and passion. The spirit is back and you've got to credit him for it, even if results will be up and down this season. People who called Jan a Dutch Donkey are being made to look like donkeys themselves – anyone taking a passing glance at the way he organises his teams (with resources managers like Arry wouldn't touch with a barge pole) and talks about the game can see this guy is more astute than any manager we've had in years. No questioning that it will still be a year of highs and lows, but the heart and soul is back at St Marys and our new policy is a breath of fresh air. Don't expect smooth running and do expect some of these guys to leave us, but the proof already suggests that we've got plenty of promising youngsters ready to keep the conveyor belt running. The excitement of thinking our club could become the source of much of England's young talent in the coming years is fantastic. Keep the faith everyone – this is something worth sticking with long term and the amount of progress and plus signs already is proof of that, even if we will have our bad days as well.

Really good posting. Really exciting times but let's all proceed with caution and hold those smiles back for a bit longer. Dammit, I can't. I'll just smile until 5:00 p.m. Saturday

this was my first chance to see the new look saints in the flesh and i liked what i saw. i\'m a big fan of european football and saints were neat and tidy on the ball and kept it well, even when they couldnt go forward they went back and started again (much to the annoyance of a few people sat in the kingsland with me) but i dont mind seeing that becuase as long as saints have the ball, that means we\'ve got control and birmingham haven\'t, we can score and they cannot. i really liked the look of schneiderlin, gillet and wotton in midfield, gillet was my man of the match as i felt he ran midfield, dictated the direction of play and put some nice \"beckham like\" passes out to the wings. i really enjoyed the game last night and if saints can keep that up then we\'ll have no problems in the championship this season, and even though the attendance of around 12000 is a really poor one for us (especially since it was reduced ticket prices) there was a good atmosphere inside the stadium.(although i didnt really like the songs about kevin phillips, even though he left us, i still think the guy is a class striker and deserved better but i suppose thats how football is these days!). all in all, a good game, good result and i like the way saints are trying play!

Brasil should have played in red and white all the time. I am married to a brasillian and the founder of football in Brasil was Charles Miller whos only club was Southampton. Brasil recently had their 100 anniversary celebrated on the day exactly 100 years after Charles Miller arrived from Southampton in Santos. For more information and a history of early Saints and of Southampton read "GOD IS BRAZLIAN" by Josh Lacey. i got my copy in West Quay its a great read for all saints supporters. In conclusion the world owes Saints for introducing fotball to Brasil and not a lot of people know that!

Agree 100%. I said wait until Christmas before making judgements. Jan is doing a great job and I reckon things can only get better from now on. The style of football will get the fans back at SMS. Can't wait for Saturday COYR

But it's only what most fans have been asking for - a bit of passion. Fortunately this lot have passion and a high level of skill too. Bodes well for the future.

jack, I disagree mate. The positive posters on this page today are always positives. The result has brought a few new posters out but in general the consistently negative people haven\'t got anything to say so they\'ve stayed away. I heard 68% posession mentioned, I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen such a high proportion to one team at this level. A 60-40 balance of play is usually really one sided. The future is bright with this team and staff. Who needs a takeover! Well done Rupes, always thought this would work and at the end of the season I\'m hoping to be able to say told you so to quite a few mates.
