With tempers high following last Saturday’s defeat to Cardiff City in what should’ve been a very winnable game for Southampton, a number of fans were quick to point to our lack of January transfer dealings in the aftermath of the game.

With the plan being to trim the group and with some late deals falling through if the rumour mill was to be believed, falling into the relegation zone for some was expected as some age old problems came to the fore again.

Taking to social media following the game, a number of fans had one target in mind when it came to apportioning blame – chairman Ralph Krueger – and whilst that’s understandable, it also seems a little short sighted given the improvements we have seen under our new Austrian gaffer.

Cardiff was undoubtedly a bad day even though we were in better control of the game, and it tastes more bitter given the way we dropped points in the last one against Burnley, but the players are capable of better and they need to shoulder that and stop the silly mistakes.
