I think the game will go ahead as long as the club get their arse into gear like Arsenal did last evening there was no overnight snow in Southampton and the temperature is set to go above freezing today and improve tomorrow. The club needs this game to be played and should make every effort to ensure it happens

Light weight! Saturday not going to be as cold.

You were there, I wasn't so I have to respect that but what worried me listening to Sky (I know) was our apparent lack of urgency or passion. It is that what worries me most and why I think MP must go even at this ridiculously late stage.

I gather the squad are off to Marbella for three days. Let’s hope there’s no taxis involved.

And yet Redmond who is not fit to lace Gabbiadini’s boots, waltzes back into the starting 11?

The most depressing time of the day to be a Saints fan is 2pm and another unfathomable team selection from MP! I mean seriously Redmond ahead of Boufal?

Gardos has gone back to Romania (Clubul Sportiv Universitatea Craiova) on loan but as his contract is up in the summer I think we can safely say au revoir - 12 starts + 6 as sub. Good Luck to him.

Ye Gods, there’s a turn up you in two minds. Do you ever come off your fence?

‪The negative reaction to the FA Cup draw just proves how uncompetitive football has become as the elite clubs pull further and further away due to their wealth, a lot of it ill-gotten!‬

Pellegrino in we need to concentrate on the Cup now

Normally I would agree but these are strange times and a run in the Cup might not be a bad thing

Well, I don't know one person outside this forum who wants him to stay. I live in So'ton am partial to a beer so I meet and mix with quite a lot of fans and to a man/woman they want him gone. All those on Facebook I am acquaintanted with (with the exception of one) want him gone, everyone who follows me on Twitter (except one) want him gone. My Dad, brother, uncle and son want him gone. Are you getting the picture Trousers? And who is my lone Facebook friend who won't commit? Who is my lone follower on Twitter who dithers still? I think you know him.

A lot of Saints fans have a real problem with C) Good post Guan

Sometimes you have to take tough decisions in life. You may get it wrong you may get it right but in the name of Allah at least have the courage of your convictions. Tbh I’d rather you voted for him to stay than not vote at all. Gawd this is so depressing.

Jesus I find it utterly depressing 16 people actually voted for him to stay.

While supping his shark fin soup?

I am told Reed was absent yesterday too! No wonder the players gave up!

I think it was the complete lack of fight that is concerning everybody. I've watched many a relegation battle with Saints going back to 1967 and at least then we had scrappers.

I am not a Hughes fan, Roger, but I do think he could lift us an inch which is all we need over the next 12 games. Needs must and all that. That 2nd half was so depressing.

This is becoming farcical. Everyone wants him out, then we win v WBA and everyone goes quiet, now we lose (pathetically) v Liverpool and it all starts again, no wonder the Board are undecided. So are most fans. He should have gone before Xmas. We need (ed) decisive leadership on and off the pitch, but at the moment the fanbase and the Board are pandering to the latest result with no long term concentration on the bigger picture.

You have got to be joking. I am afraid I am 100% behind my nemesis CB Fry here, he is talking sense but Nick you are way out of touch

I’m still wondering why Fonte never played European football for us last season. Fans are told the bare minimum these days, that’s football for you. They love our money and the atmosphere we create at stadiums but we are viewed as an expendable nuisances otherwise.

Even a broken clock is right twice in a day (and night)!

Are two goalkeepers allowed?
