Every bit as disjointed as you'd have expected given the line-up but we got better as the half went on and capped the half with a wonderful moment for young Koumas. Rode our luck a bit at times but it was never going to be all plain sailing.

Fingers crossed we can get the job finished in 90 minutes.

Koumas was born four months after Istanbul…

Cannot believe we have somehow kept a clean sheet here.

I think we will need one more senior in the middle if we want to keep this lead.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #6 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:48:41 pm »

Gerrin! Really needed that, hopefully get another and finish them off.

Fruity · « **Reply #7 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:48:51 pm »

bit more composed towards the end and got a goal.

Hopefully we can keep it tight and sneak another. Southampton have been good but look like they put a lot of effort into that.

Having to listen to McCoist talking shit is doing my head in, thought he was bad against Everton but he's even worse.

Comms keep harping on about Southhampton 4 HUGE chances when 2/3 were offside. Sigh

Father Ted · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:19 pm »

Not bad considering the injuries. Nowhere near what we'd be with the first team, but that's expected.

Great for Koumas to get that goal, although the deflection helped, still nice for him.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:20 pm »

So proud of the lads so far, not been the best performance but what do you expect given the lineup and the lack of rest. Brilliant for Koumas!

On a less cheery note Pawson and certainly Ali McCoist can fuck off

Love affair with McCoist is over. He is as thick as pig shit

Seebab · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:26 pm »

Kelleher kept us in this at the beginning and we started to play much better as the game went on. Very nice moment for Koumas.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:26 pm »

I said in the commentary I've been excited about Koumas getting a chance, he's been in great form recently. Lovely to see him tuck the chance away and great work by Clark for the assist as well. Perhaps we need work on the midfield a bit, but we did start coming into the game just before half time. Kelleher has been class once again.

The only thing more annoying than the commentary of Sham Butterface is the commentary of Ally McCoist

Had to laugh when they said we scored with our first shot on target, when moments before Elliott twatted the ball to the bottom corner and the keeper saved it

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:39 pm »

YES KOUMAS!!!

He's been looking for that yard of space to shoot

Very open game but it was to be expected. Young lads are doing well

Survived a couple of early scares , bit disjointed but getting better as the game goes on
McCoist doing my head in , sounds like he’s not got his teeth in

Draex · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:44 pm »

What a lovely goal, but fuck me we look shattered, can’t imagine us doing extra time.

Gakpo really needs to do more as the senior forward.

Gomez isn’t a 6.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:48 pm »

Disjointed at times and riding our luck a bit, but the kids put on a great display. If anything it's senior players like Joe (admittedly in a new position), Kostas and Gakpo who are struggling.

Up the young reds!

Zlen · « **Reply #26 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:49:49 pm »

Result better than the performance. Bring some firepower later….. oh, nevermind.

Whoop! Barely deserved, but lovely for Koumas and the wee lads

Fromola · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:50:07 pm »

Done well there overall. Important to take a lead into half time as they've got the stronger bench and we'll presumably take Virg off.

These over play at the back but we haven't quite took advantage. They've found it easy at the other end at times to get through and could have punished if they picked a stronger team.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #29 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:50:10 pm »

Poor start as expected but grown into the game as the players have got used to one another.

Zimagic · « **Reply #31 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:50:29 pm »

Looks like 2 sets of reserves/kids playing. Almost a preseason feel. We've done OK, a little disjointed. We should have enough to see it through. Well done to the young lads so far.

smutchin · « **Reply #32 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:50:31 pm »

Been working late so only started watching in the last 10 minutes. Great time to tune in. Lovely goal by Koumas, great work in the build-up.

Mad line-up. You know things are bad on the injury front when you have to bring Joe into midfield. Good on him for stepping up. He's been one of our unsung heroes this season.

MD1990 · « **Reply #33 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:50:53 pm »

good character to improve
not really a big surprise the performance we are so inexperienced.
Koumas well done to him trying make things happen & got a goal. Clark Mcconnell struggled but having Gomez as dm is odd

Gnurglan · « **Reply #34 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:50:59 pm »

Koumas with a goal on his debut. Great stuff!
Other than that I think Southampton have been better so far. They are playing a dangerous game in their buildup, but have been successful so far. Good saves from Kelleher and a bit of luck with the post is why we have the lead. I expect some adjustments for the second half. Suspect we will see a change in CM.

[new username under construction] · « **Reply #35 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:51:01 pm »

I don't think they are to out of the game, the positioning just isnt great, which is understandable with added nerves. Half time chat and I think we'll do a lot better second half

Nick110581 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:51:07 pm »

Kelleher been excellent.

Quansah is really stylish.

DTRed · « **Reply #37 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:51:11 pm »

Game as expected and great to be ahead. Must say, I've heard people praise McCoist's punditry when some games were on Amazon, I'm not in agreement to be honest.

jacobs chains · « **Reply #38 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:51:13 pm »

Get another and get the seniors off.

What an unbelievable team spirit we have.

kiwiscouser · « **Reply #39 on:** February 28, 2024, 08:51:22 pm »

Great goal for the young debutant. We have grown into the match after Southampton started better and probably should have put one away.

Southampton look a good side and the way they play out from the back is quite something. They will feel as though they are in the game and have a great chance at a win.

We should keep improving, just wondering if Sundays match will have an effect on fitness levels late in the game?
