If we continue with McCarthy then the gameplan should be just to fucking hoof it if there is an opposition player within 30 yards.

Indeed.

However…

Southampton manager Russell Martin on adapting to a style of play to succeed in the Premier League:
“We won’t change our principles.”

Missed the game as at festival. Have we improved our goalkeeper/scoring issues yet?

Not exactly!

Thought we’d get exposed with our possession based game, but actually it was like last season. Most of the ball, good passing, canny positioning and frustrating the opposition. Just a bit lightweight in attack and prone to defensive howler which costs us the game. But on the whole we played really well. Positive for Saturday. Need to find a bit more urgency in the final 3rd and hopefully that will come. Encouraging.
