Aston Villa Away
In a week when Aston Villa lost two players to internal discipline and two board members to a row with the Chairman, would they also lose a tenth consecutive match? The signs were there from the start that Southampton would not play their traditional role of fall guy in these situations as it took nearly […]
Everton Away
Southampton’s own web site, no less, reminded everyone of the club’s woeful record at Goodson Park: two wins in thirty two attempts, and most of the thirty that got away were defeats, including a couple of embarrassingly heavy ones. Ronald Koeman is only responsible for one of the losses, but the latest game at Everton […]
Newcastle Home
Davis was unavailable for the home game with Newcastle and with no obvious like-for-like replacement beyond Tadić, who was likely to play anyway, that meant a choice between a more attacking or more defensive midfield: manager Koeman chose the former with Long playing in front of a back four. It soon proved to be an […]

Leicester Away
Manager Koeman seems to have fallen into a couple of defensive systems, one at home and one away. So it was that the five at the back ploy was chosen to take on Leicester, and they were needed to keep the league leaders at bay in the opening exchanges. Saints survived thanks largely to the […]
Regie Tours to Halifax
Reg, John (Nice Pint)., Tony (T Rex) and Eric (Halifax) journey up to see Halifax V Altringham via Sheffield and Leeds. Halifax win 1 – 0 despite having a man sent of (one for the team). Scores 9.7 and discovers some great pubs including a Brew Pub in Bradford.
Liverpool Home Won 3 – 2
Obviously Ronnie had to restore Fonte to his starting line-up after suspension, but Saints were otherwise unchanged to face Liverpool. This rare selection stability might have produced early results when Long outpaced Lovren only to collapse under a challenge from behind when well-placed to either shoot or pass to an unmarked Pellè – a clear […]
Stoke Away
I can’t say for certain when Saints last had to cope with two players suspended for sending off offences, but I suspect you’d have to go back to the days of Osgood and Williams and the aftermath of a notorious match at Ewood Park. This year, though, Ronnie had to go to Stoke without the […]
