I liked the look of Ryan Doble. He was our number 10 and I thought he looked confident and comfortable on the ball. Also I think the defensive partnership between Lancashire and Saville looked very promising.

If you look on the Saints website profiles it says Forecast is widely tipped to be a future England No 1!

It was the first time I saw Pulis in a Saints shirt and hopefully the last!

The team put out in the first half contained many first teamers looked ordinary against Eastleigh! At least the kids in the 2nd half looked interested!

Hoping to see a better game against Bournemouth next weekend!COYR!

I was impressed with Pulis.

He looked confident when he got on the ball and made some nice passes.

He might have a big role to play in league 1

agreed about number 10 too, liked number 2 as well, think he was geting a bit peeved at the Eastleigh number 17.

was refreshing to see a saints team player with some fire in thier bellies.

Kudos to Matt Patterson for getting the goal too.

Yes, they all looked promising against quite a good Eastleigh side. Now i know who the number 10 was!

Positives today:-
The seemless changeover at half-time they all seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet, = good management.
The move and finish for Matpats goal.
The fact that the youngsters were willing to try different moves, they will work better with practice.
Negatives:
Lack of progress down the wings, shortage of quality crosses, but they need a decent target man anyway.
The schoolgirl spat between Jake and Lloyd in the middle of the first half, they need to grow up a bit and play for the team not for their own egos.
Isn't nice to be talking football, not politics?

Had a lovely afternoon in the sunshine. First half football was woeful, Rasiak, Holmes and Wotton were simply aweful. Second half was much better with the kids showing us what they have got. Dunford will be a very good player as will Doble and it was good to see Ollie Lancashire back again. I really cannot see Pulis ever playing first team football for us. Great goal by Paterson - I get a feeling he is going to be a very important player for us this season.

How good it was cheering on the Saints once again.

I thought Paterson, Gobern, Saville, Lancashire looked good.

I think Paterson, James, Gillet & Mills (who wasn't there) will have a good season.

Was strange to see Pulis in a Saints shirt after a year of signing him. Thought he looked ok, but will have to see more to really pass judgement.

You could tell Rasiak just didn't want to be there, he's just waiting/hoping to be snapped up.

Fingers crossed the Swiss Billionaires buy us next week & we can secure the services of Stern John, Murty & others.
