Saints 0 Wolves 2 (Carabao Cup)

[Batman]

we are lucky wolves made 11 changes

[alpine_saint]

Boufal was an utter waste of f**king money

 

And we' ve replaced Puel with..erm, Puel

[St Marco]

We really need some better attacking players.

[Micky]

Oh my f*cking christ, he's played 70 minutes of one cup game in a formation we haven't played for an entire season.

 

 

 

Hint: the person I quoted. Don't worry, I know it's difficult.

Mate, some players don't get that long before they are written off by the resident experts on here.

We have improved since the subs but it may be too little too late.

[Heisenberg]

Lightening does not strike twice..... Right?

 

Surely old Leslie hasn't ****ed up another management appointment?

 

Early days still but signs aren't great. Swansea, WHU and tonights performances don't bode well.

[DT]

And defending

Will Boufal ever come good? Nah, don't think so.

According to some, we are OK.

Ironically I thought the performance against Swansea was fine. We dominated the game and should have had two penalties.

I agree he shouldn't be written off - Saints got one of the better young CBs in Europe off the market in that bracket - but we might not see the best of him for 2-3 seasons. Some loan spells to the right clubs would develop his presence in the air and confidence in the English game.

 

I'm more concerned by some of the so-called senior players like Tadic, Boufal and JWP. I had hopes Boufal would improve this year - and early days - but so poor again.

[CB Fry]

We are definitely not going to score.

[simo]

I know we're losing no need to be calling each other horrible names give yourselves a clip around the ear !

[Saints foreva]

Just seen the goal. Stephens beaten too easily in the air and no surprise to see our keeper doing his best statue impression.

[wild-saint]

Usual suspects to the math threads incoming.

Is there any reason you didn't post after we won on Saturday?

 

Curious to know.

Or match

[Sevvy]

Who on here said this would be an easy game.

[DT]

He always does that. Tries to pretend it's unstoppable, no matter what. Will drop us so many points

Good news is that IF we equalise and take it to penalties, we've still got Tadic on to take one.

He was being detained at her majesty's pleasure I heard.

Also, Forster will be in goal for us.

Well that's that then.

 

Put that one to bed, move on, forget it. This has been utterly, utterly shambolic for all concerned.

Golf trip mate.

 

2-0 game over..... Shocking

[Pamplemousse]

Again?

[saint1977]

The league performances have both been fine IMO apart from the weakness in the air at CB. We've put a strong enough side out to win but some of the senior players like Tadic and Boufal have let Pellegrino down big time. Wouldn't be surprised if Boufal was loaned out and we buy another winger/striker who is quicker and more direct.

[Saint_clark]

Good job lads.

[Edmonton Saint]

This is all a bit alarming. Early days, but signs so far seem to suggest we have appointed Manuel Puellegrino as our new boss. We have again failed to address the attacking play/players which have hampered our play for a year or two.

[adrian lord]

Dear oh dear.

[BotleySaint]

2-0 .. Hopefully the manager learns fast.

[Ohio Saint]

2-0, oh well.

[maxi_sopez]

exciting a season of trying to finish 8th awaits!

[CB Fry]

I miss Claude.

[Batman]

always rated Puel

[S-Clarke]

Well done to Wolves to be fair, they've come here with a game plan and have taken the game to us. Not their strongest team, but they still followed their plan.

 

It'll all be about how **** we were for sure, but they do deserve credit.

[patred44]

ah well

glad we signed Hoetd before he saw this

[Jonnyboy]

Have we brought back Puel, for the cup games!!

 

What, the Carling Cup in which we didn't concede once in the way to the final?

[mrfahaji]

aaaaand that's a wrap. Pathetic.

[northam soul]

Well we won't see rotation like last year now.

[RedWillie]

Terrible performance, wolves deserve this. Too many non effective players

[O_RLY]

so unenthusiastic about this season based on these first few games...we really were spoilt with NA, MP and RKs (to some extent) attacking play.

 

"The Southampton Way" used to be tied in to a style of play that was exciting to watch, now it has become marketing sh*t used to puff out our feathers.

[BotleySaint]

We started with an odd formation that hasn't worked out.

And left it too late to make the changes.

Wolves deserve the win.

[Saint Benali]

Getting dicked by Wolves reserves at home.

We need to get another 5 defensive players to match the 24 we already have.

[trousers]

Curious to know.

He plays golf for 48 hours solid when we win. Purely coincidental.

[Ohio Saint]

Still way too early for a meltdown

[Batman]

3 CBs at home against a lower league side who made 11 changes

brilliant

[Seaford Saint]

I am in shock....

[Wiggles31]

Well onto Huddersfield it is. Still got the FA cup.

 

We have a decent starting 11(barring a new attacking option) but the back up players are not great.

[stknowle]

Wince. Early days of course but it's difficult to take any positives from a 2 nil defeat at home to a reserve team from the division below us, it has to be said.
