Sheaf Saint Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Just read that again and absorb it... 6 clean sheets in 9! Last season we only managed 7 in total. When was the last time a Southampton team could boast that kind of defensive record I wonder? If memory serves we had a really good run under Hoddle while we were still at the Dell but I don't have the stats for that right now. This is the absolute bedrock of our success so far this season. We just look so solid and composed all the way up the pitch, with not the slightest hint of the schoolboy errors that cost us so badly last season. Lovren looks to be the signing of the century (after SRL, of course) and the improvement in Fonte this season is just incredible. With a top quality goalie and two full backs with the potential to play at international level as well, teams must really be starting to fear playing against us, and it's not as though we have to 'park the bus' to defend effectively either.

saint lard Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Ok we did not have Lovren last season........but my god Adkins ballsed up our defence and goalkeeper positions last season. indecision by him would be a huge factor. otherwise he did ok,in his tenure.
