Match Day Thread Southampton vs Wolves Saturday Jan 18th 3pm

But it makes them look slightly silly.

 

What I saw today was a full blooded contest between two very good (possibly top ten) teams and the result could easily have gone our way today. Their first goal changed the game and full credit to them for the comeback and I suspect if this was an away match we would've probably got at least a point.
Bloody Wolves have now cost me over £300 in the last two weeks as my acca was worth £182 if Saints had won...

 

In some peoples eyes .

 

Welcome back Jasper

 

I guess. I wouldn't ever let a game of football take control of my emotions like that. But that's me.

 

Ditto...

 

Exactly . Each to their own

 

We're all different. I wouldn't bother at all with football were it not for the emotional side.

 

Actually, I take that back, it’s unnecessary. Sorry.

Just as I don’t think we were anywhere near as bad a team as many thought at the beginning of the season, I also don’t think we’re as good as our recent run would suggest. This was coming and we nearly won this one too.

We’ll settle to a mean and finish 12-14th I suspect, which is pretty good really.

 

Some good news today at least.

 

I'm quite relaxed about the result. Probably because I didn't go to the game

Thought we would lose to Leicester and beat Wolves. Bad to lose after winning 2-0 but not going to make or break the season. It is the run after the Liverpool game we need to do well in.

I suspect another defender to be signed in the transfer window

 

Not yet.

 

I love it for the skill. The shouting and bawling I can leave completely alone.

 

Brightside? At least we’ve killed the Europe idea. That was ****ing nuts.

 

That's the thing, its different for everyone. Results used to hang over me for days, I found it really hard to shake sometimes. As I've gotten older, and other life responsibilities have taken control, I can't let it dominate me as much, & I feel better for it. But I still get such a buzz from it, but on the flip side I was thinking the other day, as we accumulated some big points, that fear factor was going, like winning wasn't as big, as important. How weird is that! Couldn't understand my own thinking. I don't want us to be fighting with the line, but I get a strange sensation when we do........and beat it! So hard to explain.

 

Just saw the highlights. How was their 3rd goal not chalked off for a clear handball by Traore.

 

And that’s ok isn’t it?

 

This was my fault entirely. I don't know why they haven't stopped letting me in the ground yet!

Good game. Shame we couldn't hold on, but Wolves are a very good side when they're on it and they came out fired up second half. We were good value first half, but couldn't live with them second half as Traore started bossing us around and JWP couldn't be as committed due to that yellow he picked up first half. I keep thinking IF we'd have held out for another 10 minutes momentum wouldn't have carried them through, and they would have started to drop off again after their midweek game. Or IF Ralph had brought on Romeu to sit in front of the back 4 he might have been able to stop them cutting through us. But ultimately I don't have any complaints. We've been on a fantastic run and we played well for the most part today, against a team that turned it on second half and their superior quality shone through. On to the next one (which we have a chance of winning because I won't be there!).



Also, small point. Well done to Boufal for dealing so well with the young Saints fan that ran on the pitch near the end.

 

Very true!
