1-1 ... is my prediction ... I think we will do well ... Hopefully, same defence line up as Villa.

Hope I'm hopelessly wrong but expecting us to lose ...

I can see Jose stubbornly sticking to virtually the same Team, yet again instead of making the wholesale changes which should have been made weeks ago. Therefore, we will struggle to get a draw and Roman will put Jose out of his misery ... It's inevitable I'm afraid ...

The Team needs a Team selection overhaul ... inc. playing some of the young guns regularly ... Unfortunately, Jose doesn't seem to be capable of doing it ... Therefore, this slump will just continue ... Until the board room pull the trigger. We definitely won't even qualify for Europe if the status quo continues ...

Soooo predictable ... It's over for Jose and he only has himself to blame ... Even if we pin a goal back, or sneak a win it's just papering over all the cracks.

Jose clearly wants to play exactly the same 11 players as the whole of last season and just won't let go ... Therefore, I think we will continue with the blip. I can see the two draws of last year repeating themselves. However, I'm not so sure Southampton are as strong as last year, so fingers crossed.

I think Jose's judgement is in question at the mo ... He takes our worst performing player and makes him Captain? Hence, I think our hit and miss form may continue ... Jose's still too over cautious bedding in our youngsters for me. Having said this I wouldn't want to swap Jose for any other manager. I just hope he doesn't continue to commit team selection suicide, at times ...

I think one or two players may have thought more of her than Jose? Perhaps having her on the touch line was motivating for some, esp. if u are trying to impress? Having an attractive female in a male only environment can obviously be a distraction. This is 100% human nature ... This may well have been a contributing factor to her demise? Who knows? ... we will never know ...

Nothing's gonna change because Jose's made Ivan his new (untouchable) Captain ... Therefore, the defence will continue to leak goals indefinitely ... Wake up Jose, ffs ...

Good game ... We could have lost by more ... 3-1, 4-1 even ... Yet we could have equalised too ... Some good performances. However, Jose continues to commit defensive suicide by sticking with Ivan, IMHO ...

Dropping Hazard and Matic ... Good move ... both deserve it ... Dropping Ivan and Fab would be even better ... I'm not convinced making Ivan Captain (untouchable) bodes well at all tbh.

If Jose brings in some changes I think we will do ok ... If he doesn't we will struggle as per Prem. I'd like to see RLC, Baba, Kennedy start ...

Rambo man of the match ... changed the game. Hazard a shadow of his former self ... Looks over weight and unfit ... should have been subbed. Ivan Jose's Captain ... means he won't be dropped ... doesn't bode well for the future? Jose is just not a risk taker and despite the indifferent start to the season sticks with more or less the same players all the time for Prem games.

I'd be disappointed to see Falcao start ahead of Remy.

I think we will win this ... Team freshened up ... shame it's not on TV.

I don't want to see Jose revert back to his 11 favs, once again ... they hardly deserve it ... This would show poor management, in my opinion ... Show confidence in a winning team ... full stop. And give the complacent, under performing lot something more to think about ... !

I can see Jose reverting back to his usual suspects for this one ... Bran back in ... Rambo next to Matic ... Terry returns ... etc. As a result we may make very hard work of this methinks ... a fortunate 1-1 is my prediction. I think we would fair better if Jose continues to mix it up a little ...

100% bang on, all points ... however, I just can't see Jose biting the bullet and dropping Fab because he is his own signing ... Jose is committing selection suicide in front of our eyes and it's so frustrating to see ...

Bran and Fab will be the first names on Jose's team sheet, rest assured ... I have a feeling we will come away with a lucky 1-1 draw in this one ... the general malaise to continue ...
