We lose so much tempo and good attacking positions from constantly playing to feet. I have seen Southampton play a lot this season and their movement off the ball is different class...

....and you're right Otis, very predictable and too easy to close down. It also allows teams to play a really high line against us and squeeze up the pitch.

Depressingly in recent history we have had very few players with the movement that demands a through ball and makes it easy for the player in posession. McSheffrey does it and Thornton did occassionally...

We need a striker to play off the shoulder and force the midfielders to play them in. McSheffrey is the only player we have that does this, Nimely sshould be coming deep to get the ball and running at opposing centre backs IMO. Platt just see us default to the long ball (the easy option).

Baker tried hard, so if MOM is given for effort alone then maybe...

....they don't play balls into space to turn opposing defenders and they won't travel and attack the space when there isn't a pass on, even when the opposition back off and space opens up! These are two basic things that would change a lot if implemented, I just can't see why they don't do...

Murphy 7 - his brilliant save from the quick free kick kept us in the game Clarke 7 - Did well defensively against Zaha, got stuck in, confident on the ball Keogh 8 - One of the two quality players we have, classy and authorititive Cameron 4 - So indecisive when the ball is in the air, has 50p...

When Thomas came in for Clingan, we got a few wins, (co-incidence?) get Thomas the fuck back in! Clingan isn't staying, so has no interest in our league position at the end of the year really. i for one would not be playing him let alone have him as captain

....Clingan is an awful captain, just saying. Our recent wins were without him, look what he does today! He has no interest in being here at all, i have no interest in seeing him in a Sky Blue shirt again

I quite like the idea of SISU selling most of our players and then Hoffman's people coming in with £10 million to buy a completely new squad. We had a strong squad last year, but as a group they were weak and had (still have) a losing mentality. £10m would by you 20 decent players!

Seeing as we practically gave him away, despite him being on a long term contract, I hope we put in a large sell on clause. Ranson got a couple of million up front for Scott Dann, with a decent sell on clause, Ken Delluded was so shit he probably forgot to add any clause onto the peanuts...

Nimely = Ndlovu Well, not quite yet! ;-) It must be said though, it's been a while since we've seen a player that runs past and then accross defenders inviting the foul or them to bottle making a challenge at all! VERY intelligent manouvre, very difficult to defend against. NIMELY, well...

Deegan's scored 3 in how many championship starts this season?! If he stayed/got fit and played a whole season in League One, I could see him chipping in with 7-8 easily!

I'm sure his beneficiaries would respect their dead reletives wishes and not ask for the money back. Clutching at a lot of straws there!!!

**********************many

there is a real gulf in quality between the leagues over a whole season, the following would easily score regularly: Baker (proven in L1) R.O.D (proven in L1) Eastwood (proven in L1) McSheffrey (proven at an even higher level) Deegan (3 goals already this seaon at a higher level, not many...

Jason used to cut my hair when I was about 8, he had an amazing mullet at the time!

The Ipswich and Forest games are MASSIVE. Can somebody else manage the team for the last 15 minutes of these games perhaps?

Are we relying on him for goals do you think?

League one is pretty grim. my inlaws are Saints fans and dragged me to about 5 games last season, mid you look at them now!
