The Official Southampton FC Thread
Discussion
Living in Yorkshire I’ve seen more hudds games his season than saints. Hudds started so well and thiughbhey lacked finesse, they were tough and then worked well for them. They seem to have lost the toughness now, or other teams are just playing around them, either way I can see them messing this up.
Saints, well. A win tomorrow is essential. But a win at Man City is not impossible, last day of the season, saints playing for survival, city for fun, most of their players on holiday or resting for World Cup, if we went there needing a point I reckon we’d get it?
This seasons been such a shame, sitting at Wembley seeing the same boring pass pass pass pass pass lose it tactic they’ve played all season. If you can’t play your best in the FA cup semi final, when relegation is looming, when can you? If saints get relegated, it’s unlikely many players will find a 1st team premiership position again, the next trip to Wembley will probably be for play offs, that might be the high point of their career, such a waste.

I'm worried, we have an inability to kill off a game, how many times have we thrown away a lead recently. Anything less than a win will see us in the Championship next season, and Swansea are going to be up for this, knowing a draw works a lot better for them than it does us.
And even if we win I'll still not relax, it wouldn't surprise me if Man City put 4 or 5 past us at the weekend.

Cup-final for both of us tonight, I have very few nails left and my productivity at work today has been 0.32%.
I would be pretty positive if I were a Saints fan as we have relegation form at just the wrong time. If you score early you'll win as we have no tactics / players able to break down a resolute defence holding onto a lead.
Look forward to discussing tomorrow - bad luck!

A draining game to watch last night, and what a relief when the whistle blew (smack on 6 minutes, it has to be said.)
Hughes' gamble in putting a third striker on when Bednarek was injured was exactly the sort of decision that Puel or Pelligrino would never have made - and how it paid off.
Not out of the woods yet, but feeling happier about things than I have for a little while.
And did have a laugh at Saints' review of the Marriott after the booking fiasco..

All this crap about the Marriott is a joke - front page of the BBC Sport website. If the Marriott hadn't cancelled and half your team had picked up the virus Hughes would be fuming he wasn't warned!
And I guess it must have been tough to be a passenger for an extra 40 miles on a top-spec air-conditioned coach for the poor players.
You won, Hughes needs to stop being a minge about it.
