[quote="Trebor1":6la3kkwc]Interesting to read Piroe only 1 goal in last 6 and Aaronson only 1 assist in last 6. Pretty poor form considering our results. [/quote:6la3kkwc] Aaronson made the run in behind the defence and challenged the keeper who dropped the ball and gave an open goal to Solomon versus Sheff Wed. Didn’t go down as an assist, but it was Aaronson’s effort and bravery that gave us that opening goal. Effort and bravery are words never applied to Joel Piroe by the way. He wouldn’t even have chased that ball or challenged the keeper the big Fanny.

That was a top class performance and not one player underperformed today. What a difference having a LB who can cross with his left instead of having to cut inside. Piroe much better coming from deep and Rothwell looking good going forward. For me James and Tanaka if I had to pick our best 2. Thanks for the send off I go away Wednesday

Class today. Absolutely class. Cardiff were 8 unbeaten too. Nice 5 point gap to 3rd now also.. Interesting to see Archer absent from Southampton squad today…

Biggest home win since 1972.

Great win, proper party atmosphere at the game, could have been 10 goals, as we missed some other good chances. Firpo and James the standouts for me but everyone played their part. Really happy for Gnonto and Joseph getting on the scoresheet, both going through a dry patch. Hoping this is the game that really kicks on our season now.

That was one for our long suffering supporters. I was a lucky lad and managed to get a ticket yesterday. My first game was September ‘75 so I didn’t see the famous Southampton 7-0, so it was a privilege to be there yesterday. I said to my mate after the second it could be 4 or 5 today, but never expected 7. We seemed energised yesterday, and everyone including the subs played their part. You’d have to give Dan James M.O.M. To put the first 2 on a plate for Aaronson and Solomon, score a goal and then win the penalty for the 4th was pretty impressive, and it was game over by the time he left the field. Thought Firpo really added something yesterday, and having a naturally left footed player made a big difference when he was getting beyond defenders and crossing the ball. Byram has been a rock, but Farke has a real selection problem after yesterday for the next game. With Struijk back it also gives Farke a nice headache for centre back/midfield. I personally think Rothwell gives us the best balance in midfield, but I don’t pick the team. Anyway, happy days.

Anyone heard anything further on Archer or any other striker ? can't see much on the socials at present
