Southampton vs Aston Villa Match Thread

We really miss Doug.

This just smacks of desperation.  It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.

So you would rather he brought on a defender???

Nope aaron ramsey who seems to be able to score goals

[Legion]

Not exactly playing to Watkin's and Archer's strengths.

[OzVilla]

Long throw to a packed penalty area, back to Targett 40 yards out, shite floaty nothing 50/50 ball, poor flick on, out for a goal kick. That’s us.

[wince]

God this is terrible

[ozzjim]

I see we are all having Bradford moments. He's lost the plot. Nakamba was retrieving the ball well. No need to change him. Ghazi and Bailey were the poorest players put there. Bidace or Chuck and Archer. Davis smacks of desperation.

[levico]

Watkins a shadow of his normal self.

[cdbearsfan]

Why don't we ever smash one in with an absolute screamer like the opposition do at least once a game?

[Jon Crofts]

‘Another big turn out at St Mary’s’ says the dimwit as the empty seats are there for all to see.

[KevinGage]

Is this the first time ever that we've had numbers 1, 11, 21, 31 and 41 on the pitch at the same time?

Two fat ladies - Richard Dunne.

[Demitri_C]

Watkins whats happened to him. His finishing has utter garbage

Wish we did sign tammy as i wa aharping on about in the summer

[ozzjim]

Smith appears to have channelled Pulis and Lambert tonight.

[Risso]

Smith appears to have channelled Pulis and Lambert tonight.

All season.

[cdbearsfan]

This is a stupid rule. They get an uncontested drop ball now, even though we stopped for their injury.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

I'm only listening to the radio, but it sounds as if the players know Deano has gone out of the door.
