The Kraken

Back to being a badly run seaside B&B ffs

Get Hans Gruber in. Or the Viking. Whatever.

Good luck to him. Big part of getting promoted the first time and getting us to the playoffs last time. I think he’ll do well and it won’t be too long until we see him getting another England call up.

'There is more to come' - Eckert Southampton manager Tonda Eckert speaking to BBC Radio Solent: "No start to the season is easy. "As much as we all want things to get up and running from the start, it takes time. "We've seen in moments of the game how good we can be. Even after today there is a lot more to come. "There is a long way to go. We managed to stay humble and hungry last year and that is the job. Tuesday's game (at Birmingham) is going to demand a lot from us. "Today and tomorrow it is about recovery and then we will focus on that."

That’s brilliant. Delighted for Tom, I really think there’s a player in there who can cause mayhem, just needs a bit of confidence and self belief. Also really lovely to see Leo’s reaction, he’s legged it from the sub’s bench to be there for that. A team 🙏

Great result, second half very impressive. Could have looked different had Lisbie not put on his concrete toblerone slippers, but nonetheless a very good win. Hope Flynn’s injury is just superficial. Prob would have betted on JwP coming on for Bragg who had a bit of a mare. But, fair play to the lad, he looked much better second half. JWP looked as you’d expect, tidy and willing. Think he’ll be a really good asset, he’s very much a pass and move to get the ball again player so might help us quicken things up going forward. Azaz looks like he glides when he’s on this form. And after a risible first 15 from Leo he massively sparked into life and gave Millwall all sorts of bother. Same with Schlotterbeck really. In the first 15 minutes he had a couple of wobbly moments, and was a bit sloppy with giving the goal away. But after that, gave their strikers a rough ride and stood up to the physical side of things. Same for Wood, he seemed to relish the battle. Well done Saints, put it together over 90 minutes and we’ll be purring along.

Fellows breaks the net for his debut!

Ah yes, he does.

Who has got the armband? JWP doesn’t seem to have it.

Dunno, he seemed to be going down the tunnel at some pace and there was a lot of blood. He didn’t look concussed when on the floor. Certainly hope not, we don’t have enough steel in the midfield as it is.

Terrible first 15, pretty good from then on. We look vulnerable at the back, constantly facing a 2 on 2. Hopefully Flynn just needs some stitches and bandaging up.

Doesn’t look good for Flynn.

So lucky to get away with that. Shambles at the back.

I don’t know, I think the 4th CM role was good for him. Can pick and choose his opponents, bring him off the bench to play against tired legs. We’ve seen there’s a player there but CM in the championship is a tough gig for a young kid.
