Cheers for Adams, Ross. Fully fit squad and he’s nowhere to be seen.

Bradley Wright-Phillips is available.

All talking while dawdling once again. When’s the next fans forum, or have they now been scrapped until further notice?

Giving the armband to Ings would make sense. Southampton's his hometown, puts maximum effort in every match, one of our better performers, not just an effort merchant. Hell, he doesn't even seem to get injured anymore. (Okay, I've just jinxed that now)

How many days wages are we donating this week then? Absolute ****e all over the pitch once again. Lucky it was only 2-1. Can we fine Cedric a few weeks after announcing he was leaving in the week and then putting in whatever that was for 45 minutes.

Brentford are 13th in the Championship, let's not get silly.

We need players fully committed to Southampton following that 9-0 against Leicester. Cedric's already thinking of his life away from Southampton, which is a shame as he's a better option than Valery at the moment, but he can also definitely improved upon.

Just had a look at the reaction to tonight's West Brom line-up on Twitter, most complaining about Austin starting....

We also had a couple of years of battling relegation in the Championship... It's not all roses, you don't instantly start winning after getting relegated, look at Stoke. It's better to lose to Man City than it is Luton.

Put that effort in every week and we'll make up for the lack of quality like we did when Poch first took over from Adkins.

Guardiola’s spent more time outside of his technical area than in it.

Great game from Ings.

Fernandinho was definitely in our wall there...

**** me, what a half. 45 minutes to go lads. The defence hasn't put a foot wrong. Vestergaard winning everything in the air. Must only turn up against the Manchester clubs.

Wanyama’s days of playing in a top level league are done. He’d just be another squad member taking up a lot of wages here. Came on earlier in the season for Tottenham and looked well out of his depth. Plus he caught that big time attitude when linked with moves away. Multiple brainless sending offs in his final season, him and Mane turning up late for the 3-2 vs Liverpool, meaning they were benched before being needed in the second half and then opting out of playing the Europa League qualifier vs Midtjylland. Sadly, he isn’t the leader we are currently crying out for.

Can the next donation be made to Gao/the transfer budget? Do Coke still run those competitions that helped us to sign BWP?

Ozil does always go missing to be fair.

Would have let Tielemans go to one of the big boys too after a successful loan.

Assist for the goal*

Valery's performance last night was worse than any given by Jermaine Wright in a Southampton shirt. Too much time off the pitch with Lemina? Or, after his goal vs Chelsea, could Valery be better suited to a more advanced position?

Where are the itk's these days?

Fans were good. That is all.

Before the season started, I held Ralph in the same bracket as Koeman and Pochettino. However, this season he has had a nightmare. Tonight alone, it was worse than any game under Puel, Pellegrino, or Hughes. His subs, 5-0 down. Lets bring on Championship struggler Jack Stephens and then reduce us to 9 men later on by putting on Armstrong. I don't know what it is, but his decisions just aren't helping him. He has favourites in Fraud-Prowse, Gunn and Vestergaard and they're the players who are going to cost him his job.

He gets Carrillo for free. Works perfectly for our business plan!

January will be decisive again, and we don’t usually do anything in January.
