Come on I’m a happy clapper apparently , still getting over the Cardiff result. Let’s just get behind the team. There’s plenty of time for arguing and moaning all summer. 😇

[Lee On Solent Saint]

They got a light show too

[Lord Duckhunter]

Just need to be brave.

And get over the scar tissue.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Brave and aggressive, according to Martin. Because, that's definitely the key.

COYR!

[Lighthouse]

How do you manage to be offside there, you plank?

[Mr X]

Not much to play for, for us thankfully 

[Mr X]

A gift straight to the opposition there! 

[obelisk]

Saints not having much possession currently.

[Killers Knee]

We cannot handle their press

[maysie]

Anybody got a stream? Unavoidably not at home.

[Mr X]

Leicester already showing that it isn't going to be goalless 

[saintant]

We look very sloppy here.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Martin is a coach.

Martin is not a tactician.

This is why we are shite in the 2nd half of every match

[sandwichsaint]

Shapeless mess, can't keep the ball.

[obelisk]

Saints started the game in the style of the way they normally play the last 20 minutes. Just not in this.

[Saint NL]

Lol at Vestergaard studding Che then pushing him over, ref gives a free kick and gets told to fuck off 😂

[Mr X]

No chances for us so far 

[Sheaf Saint]

Why are our fans singing the song of a player who's not even on the pitch?

[Block41 Saint]

Midfield non-existent.

We’re shite in the first half too this week. 

[stknowle]

Thoroughly 1 star so far.

[Turkish]

Absolutely shit so far

rothwell hasn’t had a kick yet 

[coalman]

I see we've learned from the Cardiff game. How to invite pressure and hope they don't convert.

[Mr X]

Very poor start from us

Showing support for an injured player who has been great for us for several years and won’t probably play for us again, perhaps?

We’ve started horrendously 

[macca155]

Playing a team with as much quality as Saints and who play a similar style. Plus they really need to win.

A small window on what the Prem would be like. Good test of Martin's style.

At the moment Saints have been pressed hard and kept in their own half.

[captainchris]

Is Rothwell actually playing? 
As usual totally anonymous, like playing with ten men.

[Lighthouse]

With McC in goal we can’t build attacks from the back, the defenders are having to drop deeper to give him an option and Leicester are winning the space in front of them. Say what you like about his shot stopping, this is what we lose without Bazunu.

A coach who can't coach a defence, despite playing his entire career as a defender.

We look all at sea here. We simply have no control of midfield without Downes in it.

[tdmickey3]

We look awful and simply cannot get up the pitch, a matter of time before they score

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Our new approach of not having a midfield and lumping it anywhere seems to be having problems.

[RedArmy]

Bored of his obsession with playing the best RB in the league at LB (or CM) 

[Gingeletiss]

Same shit, different day.

[Killers Knee]

Struggling to retain possession in the opposition’s half.  Leicester press forces us into error or long ball as we are too slow.

OK, but meanwhile the only player currently on the pitch who actually has his own song is Aribo, who isn't exactly a club legend is he.

Seems more likely our 'lads' are singing it not for the reason you say, but because it's one of the only songs in their repertoire and they can't be arsed to come up with songs for other players who perhaps deserve one.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bit of a niggle between The and Mary Shelley's Vestergaard going on.

[GDog07]

Every other team lately have been stalling Leicester, taking points off them for quite a while.

We turn up, 4th place in a must win game and for 20mins can’t even get in their half.

It’s typical Southampton, can’t compete when it matters. The play-offs are going to be such an anti-climax, inevitable semi-final loss to WBA.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bereft of ideas. Backwards sideways backwards we plod on. Shit football.

[Saint Matty 76]

Rothwell and Charles aren’t good enough really, huge drop off 

[Turkish]

lol Rothwella first touch ends up with him falling on his arse

[Saint NL]

Leicester hitting that long diagonal towards Bree a lot. Everything down that side so far

It could that reason too, yes. 
 

our support is fucking shit like the team 

[saintant]

Good job there's nothing riding on this game. We look hopeless.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Physicists will be investigating that sudden gravity well that caused Rothwell to collapse, at half time.

[LGTL]

Any midfield containing Charles and Rothwell should be nowhere near 4th place.
