Working stream: https://soccerinhd.com/live/southampton-vs-rotherham-united

My stream died at kick off. Anyone else found a working one?

This is working really well for me: https://enjoy4hd.site/100/ehd-101.php

Has been good but Spanish commentary: https://hdfungames.xyz/hd/ch6.php

All of the streams I've tried have either not worked at all or are buffering like mad. Has anyone found a good stable one?

When they last played in the Championship, both Arma and Che scored a hatful. In theory they are both stronger, fitter, more experienced etc. So, do you think that they are both 20+ or even 30+ goals a season strikers in the Championship? A limiting factor for both of them last year was the lack of chances that we created for them, albeit Che's chance conversion rate wasn't great. Do we think this new way of playing will result in more chances? Overall, do we think that these two have the goals in them that we need to get promoted? No evidence yet that Mara is really in the mix to start. Tall Paul lacks the mobility to make an impact at Championship level I suspect and I can't see him being the answer, but not since Ricky and Pelle have we had a CF who you thought would win a contested header in the box. So maybe that's where we are lacking? It's notable that both Tella and Edozie are pulling it back along the ground, as did JWP for Che's winner. Then again, what would a forward with 'it all' cost, and why on earth would he sign for Saints...

Finally - this is stable for me: https://weakstream.org/soccer-streams/premier-league/southampton-vs-aston-villa/103488/?sport=soccer

really struggling for a stable stream today - anyone found one?

I find it hard to believe that we *won't* sign a striker. But, to sign a good one at this stage of the season will probably cost a fortune. So, we'll either spend a fortune (not likely?) or we'll get a not-very-good striker to join the collection that we already have at the club...

Can we afford to not sign a striker? Can we afford a striker?

...and he isn't on the bench. I'm not surprised after hearing that interview!

Ralph in the press conference said a lot about AMN and also said a lot with what he didn't say about him... Those putting him in their starting XIs should have a listen to the interview...

I think it will depend on our league position. I can see them spending more if we're remotely at risk. Striker most likely...

Bazunu KWP ABK Salisu Perraud Stu JWP Diallo Moi Che AA I don't think any of our new signings will start. Bench: Mccarthy, Lyanco, Maitland-Niles, Aribo, Djenepo, Edozie, Mara, Larios, Redmond I think he'll probably favour Stuey if we play some variation on 433

If we're flying high by January, maybe we'll be an even more attractive option than this summer?

Sport Republic have heralded the new era under their ownership with an extraordinary window. What will their second window look like? Will we see a top striker / attacker brought in? Will Redmond and Walcott finally go? Will they try and cash in on Stuart Armstrong, Elyounoussi or Djenepo if our new young players are already flying? Will some of the big boys try to poach Lavia or ABK?

I think three or four players will come in before the end of the window. I think we'll sign a lots-of-goals-a-season striker (or a versatile 'across the front line' attacker who we'll deploy up front), a DM or versatile player who can play DM, a fullback and possibly another CB. I think Romeu, Bednarek, Redmond, Walcott and Stephens will go, though some maybe on loans. I think one of our goalkeepers will be off - maybe Lis on loan to our Turkish sister club? Simeu on loan to a Championship club? Oh, and I think we'll finish in the top half of the table this season.

Quite a few people referencing Ralph's comments after the game about new signings, but I can't find the interview. What exactly did he say?

If we sign a top notch striker we're going to be needing a lot of Kleenex... 💦 🍆

The problem with the whole philosophy of 'ball orientated defending' is that unless it's done perfectly it leaves us wide open. There was an interesting interview recently with one of the players - can't remember which - saying that one of the reasons that it takes time to adjust to Ralph's style is that it goes against everything that you've been taught in your career to date to leave your man and rush towards the ball, leaving your man open. Against good opponents they so often seem to be able to get past our press with a nice turn or quick 1-2, and then we're wide open. I also think all of the mad rushing around leaves virtually all of our players knackered. I've backed Ralph for a long long time and we've enjoyed some good times with him in charge (runs of games, rather than whole seasons...). I find myself comparing the way we play now to how we played under Poch and Koeman and we're now so much more vulnerable, and yes the average calibre of player is probably lower, but I also think the tactics play a big part. Some might say 'brave', others would say stupid. It's like that season that Norwich went down while convincingly losing virtually every game. Yes they had an 'identity', but they were also very easy for half decent teams to beat...

I'm always surprised when people post proposed lineups in a different shape to the one/s that we actually play in.

This has sound (in Spanish): https://poscitech.com/southampton-vs-villarreal/?sport=soccer

This is working (with ad block). No sound currently but working on that: http://yg.freestreams-live1.com/elevensports1portugal/

Goalie - check, x2 Bye Shane - check New CB - check (might we still get another?) Broja - suspect not, now Returning to my crystal ball, I'm expecting: New number 6 (Lavia is close to being confirmed I think) Versatile full back (possibly a loan) as cover At least one new 'number 10' Some or all of Theo, Djenepo, Redmond and Moi to leave. Only Stuey is nailed on to stay. Two new strikers I think we'll be signing between 5 and 7 more, including Lavia.
