Southampton have reached the the quarter finals of either FA Cup or League Cup in 7 out of the last 10 seasons #Saintsfc

1976 - When playing outside of England’s top-flight, this is the first time Southampton have reached the FA Cup quarter-finals since 1975-76 (lifting the trophy that year for the only time in their history). Marching.

Portsmouth vs Southampton might just be the best derby in English football. With the help of Sunday's game, I tried to explain its magnificence in lovely list format. inews.co.uk/sport/football…

Southampton are a club staring at their own incompetence, left to rue repeated mistakes while nothing really seems to improve. Column ⬇️ inews.co.uk/sport/football…

It’s just not good enough is it? #SaintsFc A fundamental lack of nearly everything needed to be a good side in the Championship How can you test the ‘keeper so little when you’re a goal down with 20 minutes to go … …the season is becoming mediocrity personified

We so desperately need a centre forward so we can play a more direct style and cross the ball with purpose #saintsfc

The game management from our players and manager is terrible #saintsfc

And then he watches the Coventry player in the box put the cross in when he should have been closing him down #saintsfc

Terrible clearance from Manning into the middle of the pitch keeping the pressure on. In that situation you just clear it down the line and off the pitch. #saintsfc

Playing Ryan Fraser at right wing back certainly didn’t work today. With Fellows missing I was expecting a change of formation today. Let’s hope we don’t make that mistake again. #saintsfc

@solentsport @BBCRadioSolent @BBCSounds No. But he is another symptom of the problem - Sports Republic. Recruitment of players and managers has been terrible since they took over.

Is Will Still solely to blame for the poor results on the pitch?🤔 #SaintsFC have won just two home league games in the last calendar year... Get your thoughts in between 5pm and 6pm on @BBCRadioSolent and @BBCSounds⬇️ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

The manager is out of his depth and needs to go but the squad is full of broken players with a gaping hole up front #SaintsFC

All they had to do was bring in a good manager with experience of the Championship - and plug the 2 big holes in the team at centre forward and goalkeeper - they failed to do any of those things #SaintsFC

I don’t think Will Still is the cause of our all problems but its starting to look very much like he is not the answer to any of them either #SaintsFC

Summer recruitment left us with gaping holes in the team - height, physicality and a proper centre forward - but Will Still seems to have no idea what to do about it #SaintsFC

There is no point in playing 2 small strikers together - our only way forward is to play 3 attacking creative players behind 1 of them and two holding midfielders and no more of the line stuff when we keep giving the ball away #SaintsFC

There is nowhere near enough physicality in that team for the Championship - it’s a battle from start to finish and we don’t seem to have any fight #SaintsFC

What I would give for a centre forward!? #SaintsFC

Just showed in the space of a minute why are most important signings this summer should have been a first choice keeper and a centre forward #SaintsFC

Anyone else think we should just keep Edozie and Smallbone and play them in the 3 behind a striker along with Fernandes? They scored 6 goals a piece last time we were in the Championship #saintsfc
