That's why it will happen. Saints don't follow convention. Just ask Rasmus

After his histrionics on Sunday I can see Fernandes getting sent off in this one. Then us going on to be dominated by the 10 men left on the pitch.

Is it time for the team sheet meltdown yet?

Yesterday's result doesn't mean Selles is rubbish in the same way the win at Chelsea didn't mean he's the Messiah. We've had one good game and one shit game. As Selles said in his press conference - the only game that matters is the next one. It's a process. Question is whether how we learn from Saturday and what we do next.

Their model gives us those odds. 34% chance of staying up. Which seems about right. Like you say if we beat Leeds that is going to change.

He also said it's not about him - it's not about the whole squad and coaching staff. And that he only cares about the Leeds game so no point talking about beating the drop.

That's not my most embarrassing onlyfans subscription...

Is it wrong to be looking forward to the pre game presser this much?

Gracia has a work permit. Leeds are just using the Nathan Jones psychout playbook.

It counts if you win it. Apparently he only lasted 10 minutes before he pulled up which means his minutes per assist stats are the best in any league in any European division. Let that sink in.

Eddie Howe says Pope doesn't deserve to miss the final. Which is funny, because after that studs up lunge from Guimares at St James Park I thought he didn't deserve to make the final.

There is an experienced Premier League manager that's newly available. Assuming that his injury playing in the Dorset League isn't a deal breaker.

100% win rate in Dorset League. 100% win rate when Jones starts. The stats don't lie.

I wouldn't say he's great (yet). I'd say he has communicated well, the players put in a shift for him and I enjoyed watching Saints yesterday. After the Nathan Jones induced fever dream of the last three months that feels like having Pep in charge. From what I've heard from Selles I want him to do well beyond the usual wanting any Saints manager to do well simply because he's positive, articulate and excited about the opportunity in front of him. But, Leeds is next weekend. We are Saints and it can all turn to shit in a heartbeat. Nice to dream though.

Just watched his post match on the official site. https://www.southamptonfc.com/ Things that stood out - he talked up everyone - all his players, his coaches, the fans - he's clearly enjoying his job - he said he's excited to see how good his players can be - he's excited about being alive in the relegation fight It's only one game but I can't help but think this is a style of leadership that is going to get the best out of people. Roll on Leeds.

One thing struck me particularly is Selles said we needed an identity before the match. He certainly delivered on that promise. We didn't look like eleven blokes who'd met on the coach for first time unlike the rest of this season. If we continue and evolve that identity we're not going down without a fight. Whether we've left it too late us another matter but for the first time in ages it feels like we've got a chance.

Selles PpG 3.

Selles in

I assume you mean either when he makes it or what kind of howler. I reckon he'll punch into his own net on 70 minutes for the equaliser after we go 1-0 up.

Can't say I'm thrilled with Moi and Janny B but I'm not going to have a proper strop until at least half time.

Or a Jones Jump if you will

By the same token I wouldn't even go shopping in Portsmouth.

Totally agree. Leadership is about clarity and he communicated his views really well.

I wish I could speak that well. Loved the honesty and the attitude.

We're living in opposite world so and I can't see anything else than us igniting Potter's Chelsea career. So 2-1 to Saints courtesy of Lavia and Ballard.
