Wolverhampton Home Lost 1 – 2
A feature of a Nathan Jones team sheet was that you still didn’t have any idea who would be playing where. Fine to keep the opposition guessing, but there’s every chance that our players were just as confused, as was the rest of the world with the manager’s post-match comments at Brentford. Against Wolves, Solemana […]
Brentford Away Lost 3 – 0
It’s noticeable that only one of Southampton’s five January acquisitions started against Brentford – Bree replacing Walker-Peters, who was unavailable anyway through injury. Oršić doesn’t look anywhere near good enough; Alcaraz, who has shown promise, at least made the bench where he was joined by Sulemana and Onuacho who we must assume were only available […]
Newcastle Away Carabao Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg Lost 2 – 1
The Premier League always shows due deference to really big money, so Newcastle are still allowed to stick visiting fans in the seats no-one wants. Other clubs can’t get away with this, but nevertheless there was a decent turnout for the worst view in the League in a match where we were one down before […]
Blackpool Home 4th Round FA Cup Won 2 – 1
There aren’t many occasions when purists are willing to forgive maverick selection policies for an FA Cup tie, but with the Blackpool game sandwiched between semi final legs in the inferior Carabao Cup, Jones-the-boss was surely right to keep his men fresh for the forthcoming midweek match: eight changes gave us a flat back four […]
Newcastle Home Carabao Cup Semi Final 1st Leg Lost 0 – 1
One of my earliest real disappointments in football, not just a defeat but a crushing disappointment, came in a two-legged Inter Cities Fairs Cup tie against Newcastle – we lost thanks to a late away goal counting double after dominating at The Dell. There was a chance for revenge over two legs that wasn’t taken in […]

Aston Villa Home Lost 0 – 1
Southampton aren’t the only bottom half club to have dipped into the January transfer market and it is noticeable that most have thrown their acquisitions in at the deep end (including Lemina at Wolves) while ours only get pitch time off the bench. Maybe Jones-the-boss isn’t that impressed with what he’s been given, but there […]
Everton Away Won 1 – 2
When Lavia limped out of the Manchester City Cup encounter, you’d have bet against him even featuring at Everton less than 70 hours later, but here he was in the starting line-up. No room for sentiment in Jones-the-boss’s selection as both scorers, Mara and Djenepo, found themselves on the bench where they were joined by […]
