317 left. Looks like I'll be watching on the TV

Don't we all?

Yes, thanks for your contribution.

Oh, and I think Manning has some learning to do also. In league 1, if you dominated a side in the first half the opposition probably didn't have the nouse, or the players, to change things. This is the championship, the managers are better and the teams have deeper and better squads.

Yes, absolutely. Honesty is all we needed. They could easily have said that they thought Nige had now taken us as far as he could. That, with his health issue making it impossible for him to attend the training ground that it would be better to change now rather than wait. Thank him properly for what he had done and achieved since joining, and wish him well and a speedy recovery. Then maybe, just maybe, they would have had the fanbase on their side. But, as Nige would probably have said himself, we are where we are and have to get on with it. And I just think I can see what Manning is trying to do and he has made a difference in the short time he's been here.

Well, not sure this will be universally accepted but I thought the first half today was better than we were used to seeing under Nige. There was better control in confined spaces and I thought that we always had an "out" ball. We had players taking the ball between the lines and, with some better finishing could have been a couple of goals to the good. I thought the "system" was working well but that the players didn't quite have the quality (or confidence maybe) to finish the job. Second half, clearly Norwich made some adjustments to counter what they'd seen in the first half which made it more difficult. Then they equalised with a freakish own goal and then Zak got caught out under the ball and with a player like Idah (who would walk into our team but can only make the Norwich bench) was a fatal mistake. Against So'ton we could, and should, have been 2/3 goals up at half time. Fine margins and I'm optimistic it will come good and the results will come.

I hear we're likely to get a 9k allocation - will we sell out?

I thought that was us??

No, not Crosby but the AI thingy that Microsoft have developed. I asked it/they/them/her for their score prediction and they said: In the EFL Championship match tomorrow night, Southampton will face Bristol City at St. Mary’s Stadium in England. Southampton has been on a nine-game unbeaten run, recording six wins during this period1. Bristol City, on the other hand, has shared points in two of their last three Championship matches2. Considering Southampton’s recent form, I predict that they will secure a 2-0 victory against Bristol City3. However, in football, surprises are always possible!

Follow up question should surely have been why are we looking to do business in January if this squad is capable of top six?

Really? Then why didn't he say that.

I just don't understand the current question!

Bloody newbie

£12! They would lovely hung outside the Methanium.

That's because they're non-binary and so their pronouns are they/them

Why oh why do some posters on here love to rubbish our own players? We have one selected for England and immediately it's because there's no other talent available and the "conveyor belt" has dried up. No doubt young players read the forum - they wouldn't be human if they didn't. If someone, anyone, kept saying I was rubbish at my job it would undoubtedly affect my performance - even if I was able to dismiss them as not having a clue. Maybe it's one of the reasons we are destined to be languishing in tiers 2,3 and sometimes 4.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else but the poor love's need even more advantages when relegated. To me, this is creating a closed shop via the back door. How can anyone compete?

Has he been announced yet?
