Agree, I prefer to judge what I see with my own eyes which is a disjointed, disinterested bunch of players too willing to coast through training and matches because they are lazy shits who prefer an easy life. There's no sign of pride or passion when this lot take the field - they're all meek and mild with no backbone and crumble at the first sign of adversity. It's been like this for too long and I suspect there is a clique of players mainly from the Russball days who are unsettling the group rather than knuckling down and leading by example. Just my general observations and could be way off the mark but it's the sense I get. Whatever the problem there is certainly something far from right with this group of players - maybe it's just that they are shit.

Also only 4 goals in 6 I think which is pathetic.

I smell an upset.

Has there been an official announcement on the Southampton FC website or interview? Can't see anything other than on the men's team tab where there is a blank photo frame with his name under it. Maybe they are too embarrassed to make an official announcement 🙂

Too old and too short for us.

He'll be sacked by Chelsea within 12 months.

Well he was a decent footballer - I'd be more inclined to ask him to list his achievements since quitting as a player. Wilcox is yet another who talks a good game and interviews well but is all fluff and no substance. Not convinced he was much help to us.

Solak, Ankersen and all the idiots running SR.

Nah, most of us know how this ends and we'll be proved right. Ankersen and SR have been here long enough for us to realise that most, if not all, of their decisions make us weaker rather than stronger. They have form and the smart money says this appointment will be another unmitigated disaster.

Or more likely it is a load more nonsense made up by a bloke who has no idea and has been spouting crap ever since he first became involved in our club and long before that. As the saying goes, 'Rubbish in rubbish out'

Is he just repeating the recent quotes from Alfie House? Seems strange that Illingsworth has written this now.

Maybe it's a coincidence but I track the decline back to the date Adam Lallana left his role with the first team and took over the U21s. Probably no connection but it does coincide.

If the answer is ben Garner what the fuck is the question!

Well, not when replacing Bazunu.

Yeah, thought Billy Smart would be all over this.
