End of Season Stats
Once again a season of two coaches, and very much one of two halves in terms of both results and performances. The Man of the Match analyses seem to reflect that, with Lemina scoring well under Mark Hughes (but then he was injured, of course), while six of Redmond’s successes and all of Ward-Prowse’s and […]
Huddersfield Town Home Drew 1 – 1
No new injuries, but no recoveries either, nor further experimentations for the end of season game with Huddersfield, with Romeu operating in front of an orthodox back four. Ralph (and most of a sunny Sunday afternoon crowd) would have been hoping that the squad had got their on-the-beach-already attitude out of their system at West […]
West Ham United Away Lost 3 – 0
Rumours that Yoshida missed the Bournemouth match because he’d gone home to become the new Emperor of Japan proved to be unfounded but he was still unavailable for the trip to West Ham, and we won’t be seeing Vestergaard again this season. Thus numbers led Ralph towards a back four but other changes were less […]
LSSC Report – 2018 LSSC Masters Golf Tournament
A field of 11 players took to the green fairways of the Dibden Golf Centre on the outskirts of Southampton the day after the Saints made Premiership survival a certainty against Bournemouth. Boasting a field of three women for the first time, including Irene Earls, the wife of the day’s guest of honour and former […]
AFC Bournemouth Home Drew 3 – 3
Yoshida was missing but Valery returned and, contrary to some reports, Bertrand was fit enough for the other flank in the fourth and final 2018/19 edition of not-the-real-south-coast-derby, this time against Bournemouth. Saints took the lead after 12 minutes, and it was no surprise as the team had started so much on top, and it […]
Watford Away Drew 1 – 1
Still no Vestergaard in the team at Watford where Saints nevertheless started with a back five, and with Long preferred to Ings up front. Within eight seconds, that decision proved to be correct, with Watford kicking off for a second time with only three players having touched the ball, the key ones being Cathcart, whose […]
Newcastle Away Lost 3 – 1
Vestergaard has been suffering from injury off and on for a little while so it was no surprise to see him miss out at Newcastle: time will tell if this was just a precaution to make sure he’s fit for what is likely to be a physical encounter midweek. With Valery on sick leave, Stephens […]
Annual London Saints End of Season (almost) Golf Day
It’s that highlight of your year, the annual London Saints end of season (almost) Golf Day. This year it is being held at Dibden Golf Course after being so well looked after by the staff (and eating so well) there last year. The details: VENUE: Dibden Golf Centre, Main Road, Dibden, Southampton, SO45 5TB TIME: […]
Wolverhampton Home Won 3 – 1
After Chris Houghton said that his Brighton team had been well prepared to face Southampton only for the coach to change our regular formation, it can’t be a bad thing to keep the opposition guessing. I doubt whether Wolves expected to come up against Josh Sims and in the first couple of minutes they were […]
