While many of us agree with you, sadly there are elements of our society who no longer behave in the rational and restrained way that most are comfortable with. There are growing divisions in our society which seem to be reaching a point that beyond its ability to repair.

That's a bit unfair on Adam.

Many high profile nay-sayers on here have badly misjudged Cedric Soarer and quite a few will choke on their porridge rather than admit they were wrong. Many of these are the same posters that also slagged off Sofiane Boufal as a useless dilettante and have to eat humble pie once again. It seems to be a disease amongst a faction of the vocal fanbase to write off players and heap abuse on them just because they do not make an instantaneous impact. Time one thinks for a more measured and circumspect attitude towards new players.

Every other side in the League seems to be taller, more athletic, fitter and faster than any of our players

Strangely, a very similar thing happened last season when Bertie and Maya were left out early on and fans were clamouring to get them back in. As soon as they returned results improved.

...and so say most of us!

You may be over-egging Ralph's cake, another explanation as voiced by a growing number on here is that he isn't turning out to be a very good manager at this level.

This really was a disaster in every respect. Unfathomably lousy team selection first half, an inability to break down their defence and get between the lines and **** poor finishing. Where we go from here is anybody's guess, buggered if I know!

I assume you didn't go to watch the game at St Mary's then. Cedric & Bertrand were superb in their proper positions second half. You need to stop hating these players and see what is really happening rather than what your blinkered vision wants to see. You are right about Vestergaard 'though.

Sorry, who set up Adams' shot that hit the post then?

Wow! Three Saints players in The Times' Team of the Week today; Gunn, Bednarek and Boufal. When was the last time that happened.

Not according to the ref it wasn't so I'll take his judgement over yours any day. Like me you've only seen it on MotD and it's impossible to judge it from that.

Do you think Redmond should get back in automatically or should he have to await his chance? Difficult to drop Sofiane or Moussa now.

SO!

No chance matey!

So sad and so unfair. Leon was such a lovely man and generous to a fault when it came to his beloved SFC. He helped save us from extinction just those few short years ago. Surely a man who deserves honour although he would never think so. God bless Leon you will be remembered always as a True Saint. Come on lads if any man deserves a statue outside St Mary's it is Leon Crouch. Let's make it happen somehow.

I wonder what he is so very good at that he can't be dropped 'cos it certainly ain't football

Are our lads training at SMS today then or on a 25 mile jog through the Nw Forest Strachan style?

Nonsense

Who's going down? Newcastle, Bournemouth & Sheff U

Quite ridiculous for you to start panicking yet, as long as we pick up a point per match we'll be fine and we are doing that already.

Will be some serious questions about Jaidi's ability, we can do better than this with these kids.

Sheff U are a very limited side from what I've seen on MotD. Having momentum from last season is fine but will only carry them so far. Our high press and non-stop effort style will not suit them at all and as long as we turn up for the first half on the day it should be a comfortable win, even 0-3 perhaps.

I guess the attraction of playing alongside stars such as Ward Prowse diminished over time.
