He will be fine. He is young and strong and will develop quickly at Saints. A spell on the bench for Jack Cork ,may realise he has to work hard to develop his atributes.

We were much the better team as stats confirmed but our first touch was poor as was Wanyamas passing, but maybe down to conditions . I would have brought on Ramirez for Lallana to try an open them up more. I think Jack Cork deserves a recall for Wanyama now.

He played like he did in the pre-season games. Well done young man.

I can remember turning to my son and saaing that I would never see Saints back in the Premiershp in my lifetime, after we lost at home to Rochdale.

Outstanding. Now they will believe us. Congratulations and well deserved Rickie.

No, no. It is whippets not ferrets, thats in vogue "op narth"

Cannot think of a more deserving call up. Congratulations and well done to Rickie. He should start!

You can be sure that Cameron will not get any Corporate Hospitaity at West Ham this coming season.

His effort was undoubted but never felt he would ever turn a game for us when he came on.

He was one of our best players whilst with us. Did not want to go and we had to sell him because of financial restraints. A good signing by Bournemouth and good luck to him.

Seem's a bright intellgent lad and played well in the pre-season games. No surpise then he was given a 4 year contract on return.Good competition for Nathanial Clyne at RT Bk. Well done Calum.

Born in Poole but my Dad used to take me to the odd match at the Dell in the Paine & Sydenham era. Moved to Devon and in the late 70's. my son started to support Saints earnestly because of Kevin Keegan. We had a friend who owned a Sports Shop seling Patrick Kit so we used to get the odd hospitality tickets. Came back to West Dorset in 1987 and began to watch Saints on a regular basis from then on. Have been ST Holders since we went to SMS. My Son lives in Verwood now and all his family and my grandchilden from my daughters family are all hardened Saints Supporters. We all sit together in the Chapel.

Tell that to Andy Murray after a 5 Set Match at full exertion and then plays 48 hours later in another!

Gareth Bale deveoped his career sensibly in that he stayed with us in the early years, to gain experience in the championship. He was something special and he had to go as we needed the money and he wanted better things. Good luck to the boy-he always speaks highly about his time with us.

I could not understand why Adam was getting preference to Puncheon over the last few games of the season. He was clearly the better player at the time.

He had a good first half against Besiktas who are no slouches.

I must admit that I did not like the Adkin's sacking but I am glad we have Nicola as our Chairman, who has brought so much success to our club in recent years. This looks to continue under his leadership as we are happy fans now.

But football is a funny old game Saint. He was great at SMS last season.

Did a good job twice for us at the right time. Even came back for the lap of honour following his Loan Period from Burnley that season. Good luck Chappers.

QPR have got more coaches than players now surely?

I shall still wear my old striped shirt to matches in silent protest.

Maybe the Ted Bates trophy will come out again.

What is the business case to consider this?

The great reception he got from the crowd when he walked to the TV Gantry with Robbie Savage for the Coventry game ,said it all really.
