disconnect

Looks like a 0-0 draw last night. These guys seem to score even less than us!

Sadly you've listed the 5 most likely players to leave as the ones to retain. I think we'll finally see Bella-Kotchap and Larios go, both to have good careers elsewhere. I doubt Downes will leave unless we get our money back, and would like to see Edozie and Archer given another chance in the Championship. Cornet left in January and now plays in Italy I think.

Last season he was incredible for them and saved them from a very bleak situation. This season they've also done well, having splashed a massive £4.75 million on transfers and the club having constant off the field issues (including not being paid) and sit comfortably mid-table. I think he deserves a shot at a something a bit bigger.

Afraid we're stuck with him (and Stewart) until next summer. As we know, Walker-Peters' contract is up this season but at least we finally get rid of Lumley. Of the youth players, I'd expect we'd offer new deals to one of Derrick Abu or Lewis Payne, Will Merry and possibly Princewill Ehibhatiomham?

I liked his honesty and thought the switch was good to at least mean that we weren't playing favourites with certain players (and completely alienating others). Obviously some like Downes, Armstrong, Fraser and perhaps one or two others didn't like not being besties with their boss anymore, but bringing back in Sulemana and Onuachu were decent moves as two of our better players. However, the damage was already done and you could see the lack of confidence in some of the players since only getting 5 points in 16 matches from Martin's reign of arrogance which completely killed us. Would've taken a superstar to save us from that point.

The great escape begins tomorrow night!

Larios is actually playing regularly with the under 21s at the mo!

He was actually pretty good for the first few games, until he settled into the Southampton way...

"Southampton Football Club are pleased to confirm the signing of Japanese youth international Rento Takaoka on an initial pre-contract agreement. The 17-year-old forward will remain in Japan with his current side, Nissho Gakuen High School, until he turns 18 in March and will officially join the club." Havent seen anything more from the club on this - is he here now?

Good luck tonight. Any more impressions on Traore? Still only 18 and playing regularly, so hopefully good for his development, even if I doubt we'll see much if any of him at Saints.

Who's it been better for, Exempt or Saints?

Problem for me is his fearless style has evaporated a bit in a losing side. On Saturday his confidence seemed to massively increase later in the second half, but only when we started playing better as a team - he doesn't have the confidence to do it on his own at this stage in his career. It could well of been that he started playing better and the rest followed (we were obviously trying to attack more at that point, so probably goes hand in hand). The difference between him and say Fernandes, is that Fernandes continually looks good (or at least more positive), whereas Dibling can disappear a bit. Tyler is a very talented prospect but think he's been hyped a bit too early which may have gotten to him. We'll miss him when he's gone.

I noticed that we've only had 2 penalties all season, but Liverpool have had 9. I wonder how many of those would be deemed 'soft'?

Fernandes? However, I could see him doing an "Alcaraz" 🤣 Remember Archer did a really poor one earlier in the season which threw him off a bit, but is probably the best finisher we have. Not sure if I'd trust Onuachu personally. Not sure why, just doesnt strike me as someone who'd be good at penalties (cue someone bringing up stats of him scoring all 30 of his taken penalties or something).

Any streams? For better or worse have really struggled to find this season. I don’t have IPTV or know how to sort that sadly
