FT: SOUTHAMPTON 2 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Dorcus]

With no fresh blood this side will be mid table easily enough and deffo safe

But if I was the boss I would be looking to change the forward line and get shot of that keeper

Definitely give the keeper back.

Imo O'Dowda will be a huge improvement on Grant when he returns if Bulut can end his love in with Grant.

Like you said, Meite and Ugbo can go and I wouldn't be sorry to lose Robinson. I might be tempted to keep Etete for another season.

We also need some stiffening up in midfield anf full back cover.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Yes, I love a 53rd minute Colwill sub. Gives him some time to try stuff. Otherwise it's the same blunt "attack" after blunt "attack".

[Bald Barry Bastad]

Do not understand why Meite is first choice. He offers nothing.

[MacAdder]

Bowler flatters to deceive.
He and Robbo off it today.

He’s great when he’s on it but it’s not often enough.

Without Ramsey we lack a quality 10 and I think that’s a position they will look at in January.

Agreed.

There was one game (can't remember which) where I thought he played really well and then Bulut took him off instead of an underperforming Grant. Ever since then I think Bowler's been poor.

[bluebirds17]

No one helping Colwill there.

Preston? Although Grant did end up scoring.

Commentators say the fog is worse live than it show son video....

[Taffy Blue in Berkshire]

Well I just went up the shops and got some provisions and come back and it seems feck all positive has happened which I can't say is surprising. The most exciting thing is the fog!

[Dave Blue]

Was horrified when some suggested we missed Grant on Tuesday. That said everything.

[bluemoon]

is rambo any good in goal...

But he runs a lot...

[Taffy Blue in Berkshire]

But he runs a lot...

so does diarrhea which is what we are right now!

[NYCBlue]

Time to throw caution to the wind now.

[Maurice Swan]

I knwo they are at home but have to say they seem one of the best teams we have played...way better than WBA....maybe Leeds/Leicester better.

[Maurice Swan]

Bit late to bring on Ralls.....for Siopis(?)...know he hasn't been outstanding...but should be for Wintle....Etete should be on sooner......

[Maurice Swan]

Collins not be great today...from memory maybe should have got closer to his man for both goals...instead of standing off?

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Yep! Does my head in when we stand off from them inside our own box. Literally rolling out the red carpet for them.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

**** off Russell Martin.

[D. Advocaat]

Southampton toying with City now- huge gulf in quality between the sides and City are not even competing.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Colwill - Ugbo - Etete linking up better than any of the starting XI did.

[NYCBlue]

Etete! Jesus.

[Maurice Swan]

Consolation is we avoided being embarrassed...
