On my son's socials southampton fans are readying for Bree's return, much to the pleasure of my son.
Can't see it myself am sure he'll stay with us

I agree, but the point is it's not like we're only out of the relegation zone on goal difference or something, for us to drop in after the next two games it would need three pretty ropey teams to find a hefty bit of form and do something two of them haven't done all season, which is win two games in a row. I recognise that we need to improve but equally we should live in the real world; we can lose the next two games and remain the same number of points above the relegation zone if the teams below us also drop points. No need for posters to overstate the position.Southbank said:
Once you are down there it is hrd to escape. I hope the management team are taking this into ccount if they send us into the next few games with two fit defenders (and Gillesphey)Garrymanilow said:
Well no, should we struggle in the next two games and Pompey beat Wednesday and Watford AND Norwich beat Wrexham and West Brom AND Blackburn get two points off Ipswich and Swansea then we'll be in the bottom three.Berkshire1970 said:
We need to win at least one of the next two games. At this rate it’s going to be difficult & should we struggle we’ll be in the bottom three. Not sure if we’ve got time on our hands to fix a few deadline loans.swords_alive said:dmccart32 said:Can someone please explain the Roussillon situation? From memory he's played half a u21 game against Preston U21 on 2nd December and then 70 minutes against Ipswich U21 on 22nd December.
He's 33 and last played for Guadeloupe in June!
He was on the bench for 4 games and didn't play a single minute!
Not featured in the match squad since Oxford!
I presume we are paying him right?
Now I understand he might not have been fit, but WHAT is the point of all of this when we have been crying out for a left-wingback throughout December!
Now we are nearly half-way through the transfer window and unless something changes in the next couple of days we are going to have to deal with Apter or TC at left-wing back on Saturday.

Surely we will announce at least one signing tomorrow?0

We’re leaving it late to announce it today if he knows his stuff.Callumcafc said:On the other site, Reams says “Dykes signing today apparently”1 -
Well you say that, NJ did say he’s sleeping at sparrows lane, they might be cosying up with a bag of popcorn binge watching supergran to make Dykes feel at home.CafcSteve said:

That's what we should have done in the summer (I know, I bang on about this every few weeks, but it's true) & yes it's not my money etc & we had a budget but if we want to end up back in the third division we're going the right way about it because we just don't score enough goals & where the defence was the backbone of our early season "success", because of injury we are wobblingLewis Coaches said:
Brought from Dutch second division and what a crap league that is.ForeverAddickted said:

Did you say that when Polish Pete joined ?Henry Irving said:Nardin played for our sister club in Slovenia, Maribor.
Would be an excellent addition to our squad.
Can We not buy someone that is fit and has championship experience ,and still have a few years left in him .Please Nathan.

I get the comment re: creativity, but I think Jones’ whole game plan is based around keeping us tight compact and pressing, and as games progress, hoping we can nick a goal. This puts a lot of pressure on the front two as they have to do a lot of closing down and as we’ve seen with Leaburn in recent weeks, player’s tire. The Dykes signing makes good sense to me as he’ll be asked to play that hold up role and hopefully lessen the amount of running the others have to do.I appreciate Leaburn and Kelman also try to hold the ball up to, particularly Leaburn, but a lot of their game is pressing. If Dykes can be that foil up top then it could enable the likes of Carey to make more runs forward etc, bring in Campbell.His goal scoring record doesn’t excite me, but big picture I can see it potentially working.Got to get that LWB in though3
-
With Bree, his recent form must give us a chance of keeping him. Southampton would have him back in a heartbeat if he mainatined his early Charlton form. The other big question is whether we might want to look elsewhere. I don't get it, his delivery was top notch and now it is bottom notch. Is it an injury issue?1

Id like two LWB, one on loan and one understudy for Edwards1

I really don't care about centre forwards or midfielders. Just buy a flipping left back and centre back before the next two massive home games.
Expecting Campbell to have another good game at lwb after Chelsea is madness and expecting Bell to rise from the injury table is also not happening... So if Gillispey is anywhere on that pitch then we are in big trouble.
Two weeks into the window and we only have one right back signed with zero appearances.... That is a very poor return and shows that our our owners (at the moment) appear to have closed their wallets.
No point in scoring goals if we concede as easy as we do.

Would have been nice to have had a LWB in at the start of the week to get used to the team. Concerned we’ve got another couple of games patching things up down the left.1

How many championship teams have signed more than 1 player this window?

It’s much better to sign the right player than to panic and just sign someone that we can get in before Saturday7 -
I think the issue is that we have been desperate prior to the window for that left sided player and maybe a lot of us would have thought something would have been lined up, which I don’t think is unfair to expect considering how much we are suffering due to it. If that player was the one we had signed I think people may have been more patient. Truth of the matter is we haven’t got a clue what’s going on.NabySarr said:

It's no good continuously saying get a LWB in, if you think it's so easy suggest several examples that are available that NJ could choose from, if not leave it to him and his fellows. Left sided players of all types are notoriously the most difficult to find. You all talk as if they've done nothing until January 1st, this process will have started long before then. There have only been a few Champ to Champ transfers so far and a couple of those have been out of Southampton who need to reduce the size of their squad.4

Maybe we should drive them out and get some spivs back in, or a Fake Sheikh, or Matt fucking Southall? Get a grip you pillock6 -
Which obviously the club were very aware of and will have been working as hard as they can to get sorted. Do people honestly think that we haven’t been doing all we can to sign a good left wing back asap? It just isn’t that easy. I’m sure we could have had a LWB in on the 2nd of January but if it’s not a good one that’s a lot worse than waiting and signing a good one 3 weeks laterSword65pf said:

If we all know we need a LWB desperately so does every club we do a deal with. That makes it hard to not get massively ripped off and waste money5

Would rather wait to find a Jay DaSilva or Ian Maatsen of loan left backs as opposed to a Matt Penney or Juan Castillo.8

I don’t think everyone thinks they haven’t been doing anything, obviously they have because NJ, gavin carter , jim rodwell and Paul Elliot have all at some point mentioned they are looking,I certainly don’t think they are all fibbing.But I understand why people might be a bit concerned also.NabySarr said:

With the current state of play I would expect Ramsay to fill in at LWB to add some solidity on Saturday.Burke / Jones / Gillesphey in the middle perhaps1

Hasn’t Bree played LWB in his career? If so it’s an option with Clarke now in the building.DamoNorthStand said:With the current state of play I would expect Ramsay to fill in at LWB to add some solidity on Saturday.Burke / Jones / Gillesphey in the middle perhaps0 -
If every championship team had made 3 or 4 signings and the market had really started moving then I’d be concerned. But it hasn’t, it’s barely started. Pompey, a team of similar level to us, have way more injuries than we do at the moment and have only just made their first signing todaySword65pf said:

That's assuming he and Burke are fit.DamoNorthStand said:With the current state of play I would expect Ramsay to fill in at LWB to add some solidity on Saturday.Burke / Jones / Gillesphey in the middle perhaps
It sounded like Burke was close to fitness on Saturday so I'd expect him to start. Ramsay...we'll see. Hopefully fit. Can do a job at LWB.0 -

I just don’t think that offers us enough going forward, we’d be so easy to defend against. Unless you play TC further forward (which would mean leaving out Kelman or Leaburn) then we will have no threat from out wideDamoNorthStand said:With the current state of play I would expect Ramsay to fill in at LWB to add some solidity on Saturday.Burke / Jones / Gillesphey in the middle perhapsI’d play Ramsay at LCB to cover TC at wing back1 -
This would be my choice as well but it again does assume both are fitNabySarr said:

Trouble is, that team with more injuries managed to turn us over. I’m not disagreeing with you, but we have a big glaring hole in our squad that would make us a lot more competitive if it was filled because the patchwork isn’t working. Expectation has been risen with the comments about the club being active in the market and the way of the world says we want it now!!NabySarr said:
