Personally not too bothered we lost, but all these people slagging off the club for 'disrespecting' the cups make me laugh. If everyone cares so much about the cups, where were they for the Burnley and Yeovil games where the ground was half empty?

I have no problem with that lineup. It's a squad game and the league will rightly always be the priority.

We will finish 9th at the very worst. Next week is irrelevant, we have had an excellent season for our second year back, I'm more interested in seeing what happens in the summer and whether we show intent to push on again next season.

Am I the only one who would be happy with this? I thought it was cool how we had our own brand, and they can't be any worse than the Adidas kits. Most important though, I really hope we get our stripes back.

He had a slightly below par game today, that's all, everyone has them. Considering he's just 18, it's scary how good he could be.

The League Cup has become a pointless joke of a competition as nearly every team just play their reserves in it now, and the FA Cup is rapidly heading the same way. I find it very hard to get excited by these games, and tbh couldn't give a toss that we went out last night. Even in the very unlikely event that we did win it, it would feel hollow. I am pleased that we go into a far more important game on Saturday with a mostly fresh squad, who haven't just played a game 300 miles up the country just two and a half days before. All I care about is finishing as high up the league as we possibly can. Sorry if that upsets anyone, but it's how I feel, and clearly the club agree. As a side note, huge respect to those fans who travelled up last night, but I'm sure they knew what kind of team we would be fielding.

Don't agree with your views on Southampton, but you are spot on with this. Miami is a fantastic place. 90% of the parts of London I've been to have been disgusting, can't stand the place.

If I ever had the chance to live in America and claim US citizenship I would do it, regardless if it meant giving up my British passport. While there are many worse places to live in the world, there is so much I hate about this country.

Completely agree with this, apart from that five minutes yesterday I have been bored silly at every home game so far. Obviously 4th in the league is great, but I'm not really feeling that buzz yet. We just seem to be lacking ideas in the final third, one goal all season from open play all season. Hope it clicks soon as the talent is certainly there.

No goal threat yet again, this type of performance is becoming the norm. Far from convinced by Pochettino.

A bit cringeworthy.

Adkins was the best Saints manager in my lifetime, and I certainly will never forget his time here and wish him all the best. As for MP, he still has much to prove. We were rubbish for the last two months of last season.

Well I have ordered one and will wear it to home games.

What does having an opinion on a player have to do with support? I always give plenty of vocal support and certainly don't join in with any booing at matches, I hate any negativity like that. I just simply don't think Fox is good enough to play in the PL, and given Shaw's poor record with injuries, we could be relying on him quite a lot this season, which worries me.

I am amazed at how many people think Fox is "perfectly good enough" at left back. His positional sense is non-existant, I thought he was our weak link in the Championship, and is nowhere near PL quality. Fair enough it's a game of opinions, but mine is that if we have to start with Fox for a number of games we will be conceding plenty of goals.

I remember his comments very well upon leaving, they were much along the same lines as Redkrapp's when he returned to the Skates about not really wanting to be here and couldn't wait to get out. It was a real kick in the teeth for the fans who payed his wages after having to put up with such an awful season and thus I have given him plenty of stick when he's returned. However if those comments are genuine then fair play to him, it was all a long time ago now and should probably be left in the past.

Liverpool for so many reasons, and Brighton for their moronic fans.

Looks worse every time I see it. How have they managed to make such a mess of it??

He's good on FIFA!

Full back should be our No.1 priority imo, Clyne and Shaw won't play every game and we need someone capable of coming in and doing a good job. Fox is nowhere near PL quality, Targett hasn't been taken to Spain so can't be that close to being ready for the first team, and the likes of Cork, Maya, Chambers would all be playing out of position. I don't think we necessarily need to spend millions, and although acting as cover, whoever came in would still get plenty of game time. We don't seem too worried about overloading in midfield so I'm not sure why this would be a problem at full back. It is a squad game these days.

Because he's a filthy skate.

One of my favourite players during our time in the lower leagues, whilst the club progresses it is sad we have to say goodbye to players like Chappie. If it wasn't for that injury at Bristol City and he had maintained his form he could easily have been our player of the season in the Championship. Thanks and all the best in your future career!

Can't freakin wait, will be the best game ever I think.

Home kit is terrible on every level imo. Away kit looked ok in the mock up yesterday, but seeing it today with that huge V neck has even made that look horrid. And charging £50 for a generic design?? Feck off Adidas. Stripes again for me next season.

Awful. It'll be the Championship promotion shirt again for me next season.
