Comment | Southampton At Coventry City The Verdict
at 18:07:23
Not since RoKo have we had a manager/coach with this much savvy.Tonda and his team sussed the Lampard way and selected a team and a formation to counteract it
Thanks to Peretz we were still all square at the break and couldn't have made a better start to the second half
Young Cam Bragg playing a lone role in front of the back four had an outstanding first half
Downes and Azaz covered every square inch of the pitch between them and were playing unplayable
Larin does so much good work holding the play up to bring others in It's a pity he isn't what you could call a natural goal scorer
If we can rinse and repeat in the two upcoming home games we can enjoy a relaxed international break |

I just hope the referee keeps a tight grip on this one As we saw in the home tie Coventry take no prisoners.
With Leo out it could be a big opportunity for Edozie who is quite capable of providing assists to players in the box. Add Matsuki and Bree on the other side and it shows we have a fair amount of fire power
With their pace up front I wonder if he will play Wood in place of Stevens.It worked well last Sunday
Just a plea to our travelling fans Please don't waste your energy slagging off Lampard. Save that bit to the end7 |

I almost felt sorry for WBA but that's what happens to struggling teams We should know
Against Fulham I struggled to pick a motm because they were all good Last night I struggled because they were all beloe par. Not what we had hoped for They looked leggy so maybe 48hrs off training may be required
Of our remaing games only 3 are against teams above us so 7 against lower opposition against whom we have generally been poor They certainly looked as if just turning up would guarantee 3 points That mind set has to change |

From here on in every game is a crucial game,every week is a season definitely week.For SR getting promoted is the priority I'm not sure it is with the fans Most it seems would prefer to stay for one me year in the championship If you could give me an FA cup win I would take it over promotion
Having said that if we get into the playoffs I will want to win them
I'm trying to enjoy every game as they come and not think of the consequences
Thinking optimistically if we lose tonight we are no worse off with regards to Wrexham |

Good Friday isn't a possibility because of players coming back from internationals
Likewise Sunday because of their possible involvement in the championship league
Saturday 5-30 ko would be my guess |

Comment | Tonda Eckert Praises Southampton Red And White Army At Fulham
at 14:43:37
Fulham obviously believe in the 12th man syndrome That's probably the reason they wouldn't let us have the extra block
Will watch the draw and expect to get either Man City or Arsenal away The other one of those will be home to Port Vale
Of course it's not fixed but sometimes you do wonder |

Posted to soon
I struggled to pick a MotM yesterday because there were 15 possibles For Ross to step up in a pressure cooker atmosphere and hit it the way he did was absolutely top class
Tonda has got his squad playing as a unit from back to front If it continues we will win the play off and be back in the pl and because he is so flexible we could even stay there |

To clear up one incident.Peretz took a quick free kick and it hit Manning on the back and dropped to a Fulham player who slotted it home.That player had not left the box therefore he is not allowed to play the ball In addition the ball was moving so the kick was illegal End of
When we scored5 against QPR recently it was because we took the chances that were created It could have been 5 again yesterday if we had been as clinical.But what a great defensive performance They 24 shots but only 6 on target That was entirely down to a well drilled and organised back line I know you have been critical of Peretz Nick but for the first time in years we have a keeper who I can hear from my seat in block 8 When one shot was deflected for a corner you could see him yelling and directing |

PL teams who look like finishing 8th to 12th start to take the FA cup a bit more seriously because it gives them that money making place in a euro comp Hopefully Fulham will believe that their best chance is via a strong league finish
A day out at Wembley is always welcome but I would still prefer a neutral ground for the semi finalh |

Comment | Caspar Jander Predicted To Be Hot Property In Summer Transfer Window
at 12:20:21
I want Jander to stay because he has some good moves and apart from the Leicester 45 minute fiasco I've not seen him have a bad game
If he leaves however it opens the door for Cam Bragg to become a first team regular and another youngster to come into his place Sesay for example |

Comment | Southampton At Sheffield Wednesday The Verdict
at 20:25:05
My first point is the way Tonda managed the squad for this one He sensibly left Downes out to avoid a yellow card suspension,gave Bragg some well earnt minutes and took no chance with Stewart This could well improve our chances in the next 3 games
I've only seen highlights but everyone seemed to play a part.Unusual to have all our goals scored by defenders but their reputation is growing and future opponents won't know who to mark at set pieces Cyle was given a couple of good chances by Azaz and could have given us an even better result
Most of us are probably hoping to catch Wrexham but a softer target may be Hull.Their next 3 games are pretty tough and all potential losses.Therfore our next 3 become must wins if we are to take advantage of any slip upsy |

On the field there is no room for sentiment or complacency Only 3 points will do Another boost to the GD would be a bonus
In the stands and the bars around the ground I would hope that our fans will show empathy with their opposition Let's not forget our own demise some 15/16 years ago |

Comment | Southampton V Queens Park Rangers The Verdict
at 13:48:58
The stadium announcer got the correct pronouncement of his surname In Japanese the U in a surname is not pronounced
The game between the first and second goals was in danger of becoming a bore fest That goal at a perfect time gave us unbelievable freedom for the second half The result this time was never in doubt and never at risk
It was the epitome of why we go to football matches.I enjoyed every second of the 2nd half and we need to do it again because this league is so tight GD could well decide the final positions |
