Southampton Post Match Comments

[Jimmy Badfellow]

We always seem to have a great result before an International break. This gives 2 weeks of restful optimism that then normally resumes with a lethargic and disjointed performance a fortnight later.Like Norwich,an anomaly of a result. Anomalies won't secure Championship status.Well done to MT for changing it so early because it solidified matters instantly and the desire was never in question.It may also have saved his job which I'am pleased about because I like him and I want him to succeed.There are 35 games left and if we soon find ourselves in a position where our injury list has a rolling count of 4 instead of 8 and through this we are to establish a more settled team selection and formation I believe there will end up being 3 teams worse than us come May. This,however,means we will be still miles away from the mid table consolidation ambition the club set out during the Summer.
