At least 2? They haven't won by more than 2 in any game this season so not sure why they think an away game at a team that has only lost once at home all season is considered their easiest game of all.

I dont live to to far from Southampton and the couple of saints fans I know are absolute deluded morons so much be something in the water round here
We ran Ipswich closer than pretty much any other team. We missed a pen, they scored a worldie, and it took us ten minutes to start playing. Any of those don’t happen and we’d be hailing a tactical masterclass.
Sadly sounding a lot like their close friends from Bournemouth.At least 2? They haven't won by more than 2 in any game this season so not sure why they think an away game at a team that has only lost once at home all season is considered their easiest game of all.
i'd argue all of that was in the 2nd half after making 3 subs at half time and changing formation, we lost the first half 2.0, and shouldve won the 2nd half 2.0, had we started the way we finished the game could've got something out of itWe ran Ipswich closer than pretty much any other team.

i'm not saying we were horrendous, im just saying i think we could have done things differently and got a better result if we had played our game as opposed to adapting to suit - hindsight is wonderful, but tbf when was the last time MR made 3 changes at half time so he clearly knew he had got it wrong as wellIpswich haven’t scored less than two goals at home all season. And it took a GK error and a worldie to score against us. It really wasn’t the terrible performance first half some are making out. They scored their second well against the run of play.

Work rate ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
They’re a decent and inoffensive club on the whole, I wouldn’t like to judged by some of the posts on here. Naming no names!
Tbf we only had to nearly go up for some to get delusions if grandeur, expectation, and desire to hang for losing to Ipswich.They were. Then like so many before them they got PL promotion and decided that makes them Real Madrid.
So'ton fans are so full of themselves. Just tried reading their forum..
WTF do these two think they're talking about. They don't have season tickets at Barcelona or Milan

Wash your mouth outWe beat these Wednesday
Get whacked by Leeds
Draw to Sunderland
He has many good traits but that doesn’t include workrateI don’t think Palmer’s good but he works hard in attack for us, he may not be a great defensive player but he runs at defenders and can dribble well enough with the ball. I think he gets too much stick tbh, I don’t rate him personally but there’ll be a role for him in the team and I think we should try and make him a better player before we right him off.
(I’m not saying he should start or he’s amazing btw, I just think he’s a good bench or rotation option to have for when the likes of Allen or O’Hare need a break.)
Have we beaten a Russell Martin team yet?
They are decent and inoffensive in as much as they're never really in the news because no one gives a toss about them.They’re a decent and inoffensive club on the whole, I wouldn’t like to judged by some of the posts on here. Naming no names!
Of course you have mate.I've seen in him many league games .
Are you kiddin’?Yeah I don’t know what they were watching, we were all over BirminghamO’Hare scores 2 premiership-standard goals and they think we’re worse than a bunch of paraplegics, really hope we smash these guys on Wednesday now.
The way we’ve played recently certainly deserves a big result, Southampton are susceptible to a goal or two in most games and Bazunu looks shakier as their games go on. I think if we concentrate all game and keep ourselves in it we can win this one.
Think it will be something like thatEccles has to come back or else Sheaf and the defence is too exposed with only one holding midfielder. Southampton are not Brum and I suspect we could be hammered without the extra defensive cover.
It seems to me there are two options
1. Straight swap Eccles for Allen.
2. Replace a striker and switch to one up front. I'd keep Wright, but I don't think it matters that much.
As the variant on 4-3-3 has been working, I'd go for option 1.

O’Hare had a great game and took his chances well but in the premier league he wouldn’t have got past the first man let alone the fifth. If we had conceded either of those goals we’d be hanging defenders

Correct, but at best arrogantly assuming victory leaves you with what you expected, at worst looking like a tit.Exactly.
A lot of our support went from "just glad to be a proper club again" to absolute delusion, almost overnight.
We aren't the worst offenders (take a bow Sunderland), but if we were comfortably in the playoffs and playing a team in mid-table, we'd be expectant of a victory, rightly or wrongly.
However the point is irrefutable. Were we in Southampton's position with their squad playing a team in our position, regardless of recent form, the majority opinion on here would be for an easy victory. And the mood would be just as nauseatingly cockyCorrect, but at best arrogantly assuming victory leaves you with what you expected, at worst looking like a tit.
If Allen is fit he will play. If Eccles comes in, it will be Simms dropping out, and Wright switching to up top.Eccles has to come back or else Sheaf and the defence is too exposed with only one holding midfielder. Southampton are not Brum and I suspect we could be hammered without the extra defensive cover.
