Southampton At West Bromwich Albion The Preview
at 14:01:07

Agree Bowlercow, basically every single game is a cup game from now until.the end of the season.

Another advantage of winning will be that it will add pressure to the teams ahead of us, which will affect some of them.

We are in good form and really need a steady win tonight to keep up with the pack.

Matsuki and Downes are both one booking away from a suspension. If one gets a yellow card tonight it would be sensible to take the other one off.

Similarly I would start Larin tonight but if there is an issue play Archer. Need to manage Stewart's minutes very carefully to give him the best chance to lasting right through until the end of the season.

Play Off Spot Now In Southampton's Own Hand's
at 12:41:09

atm looks like it's going to go to the wire. Our extra FA cup fixture is going to have some effect as it now displaces 2 key games to midweek.

We must keep Stewart fit and try to get key player suspensions out the way ASAP We are now going to see the benefit of having a big squad and also Tonda's good work in keeping everyone in the squad on board by short rotations.

Hopefully it's going to be an exciting end to the season. Which is a big step up on last year.

Caspar Jander Predicted To Be Hot Property In Summer Transfer Window
at 10:19:20

To me, he's looked good but not outstanding.

If the interest is coming from the Bundesliga, it's doubtful the fee would be that high.

However, it's good a good situation to be in having players in demand and no time pressure to sell.

Saints Have To Sit Back And Watch The Championship With Fingers Crossed This Weekend
at 10:52:29

It's all quite simple really, if we win all our remaining games we will get a playoff spot. Anything less than that and we might not.

Case closed.

Southampton At Sheffield Wednesday The Preview
at 11:07:53

This is just the sort of game where we could come a cropper. An early goal is really a must. Hopefully the great defence splitting passes we are seeing from Azaz and THB can pay quick dividends.

I would also like to see Stewart used sparingly. As with Reece James at Chelsea strictly managing the minutes and even the position played is a must to successfully rehabilitate players with long term injuries.

Southampton V Queens Park Rangers The Verdict
at 11:25:50

Great to see Terry Hurlock mentioned. This current Saints side is starting to have that solid late 80's early 90's feel about it. Solid pros doing a job. Bree. Downes, Larin ,Matsuki, THB Peretz all fit this mould. Add on a bit of flair in Scienza and Azaz and it's a potent combination.

Southampton V Charlton Athletic The Verdict
at 11:48:05

Yet another demonstration that we should sign Stewart to that one year extension straight away.

Downes was lucky to stay on as well after getting drawn in by Coady's shthousery. Azaz had another frustrating game when nothing seemed to come together. Bree was excellent. Should have got that header in the second half tho.

We were well on top. Still on an unbeaten run.

Yes Wellington is out. I'm guessing Manning in then. So Charles on for Jander imo, to add cover.

Can Southampton Get Into The Play Off Positions By Beating Charlton
at 11:32:38

Agreed just got to stay in touch. Where you are now really doesn't matter as it is so tight.

Chasing a playoff place may actually be psychologically easier than trying to hold onto one with so many teams in the running.

Will Southampton Invoke Extension Option For Ross Stewart
at 11:28:19

From what we have seen he is a very good striker. Just need to manage his playing time.

If it's an automatic 1 year, yes take it up and see how he does fitness wise before any further contract.

Southampton At Leicester City The Verdict
at 12:18:11

Given that Stewart generated 2 assists and a goal it's a tragedy that we have barely seen him play. Looks a real talent when he plays. Just hope he can stay fit and earn a new deal.

Now won 2 games out of character - bullet header on Saturday and now a comeback. Things are looking up!

Southampton V Watford The Verdict
at 10:57:04

The problem is that although it's only 4 points to catch Wrexham, it's 6 points from Wrexham to 5th place. There are now an awful lot of teams playing for 6th place. Making up 10 points in 15 games is a lot to ask.

Just got up keep playing well and see where we can get.

What Do Southampton Do With A Problem Called Edozie
at 08:40:21

It's always been the way to berate footballers for perceived faults particularly when they earn far more than the most of us. It can be a very short tough career though and some may be blessed with the physical skills but just not be able to cut it mentally. I hope Edozie moves on from whatever this is - attitude, form or other difficulties. The guy has talent but whether this is the club or career for him, only he knows

Can Tonda Eckert Get Saints Promotion ! The Stats Say Yes He Can
at 09:34:30

Next 5 games are the key. If we can get close to maximum points in them then we we should be very close to a play off position.

However even if we achieve promotion, unless there is going to be serious investment in the squad in physically big, capable PL standard players, any promotion season will be a bloodbath again.

Are Saints Arguably Stronger At The End Of The Transfer Window Than They Were At The Start
at 11:52:52

Based on what I have seen of Peretz he is athletic, shouts a lot and distributes the ball well. He is liable to make the odd mistake though. I agree that he is an upgrade.

I agree that the players returning from injury/ loan are very valuable additions to our playing squad and probably exceed the value of any new player that could have been brought in in January.

Southampton Confirm Adam Armstrong Departure
at 22:25:00

Great striker for us in Championship but couldn't seem to make the step up in the PL. Always put a shift in but oddly never seemed to really connect with the fans, even after scoring the goal that took us back up.

Hope it goes well for him at Wolves.
