Southampton 3-1 Stoke City - fan's verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's match between Southampton and Stoke City.

Here are some of your comments:

Southampton fans

Michael: With so much uncertainty hanging around thanks to the FA and subsequent player transfers, it's doubly hard for Southampton to make progress at the moment.

So a win like this is vital. A testament to Tonda Eckert's coaching skills and his players' ability to overcome such a devastating end to last season.

We stand by the Saints full of pride.

Peter: Phew! A bit lucky! Was at the game on Saturday. Thought we looked very rusty. However, glad to get the result. We need to improve!

Adam: Good win but need players in, especially in defence and midfield.

Stoke City fans

Mark: Bad game management yet again from Mark Robins, we were holding our own until he decides to change it. It went downhill from there.

There are people at our club that seriously need to take a long hard look at themselves.

David: Strange selection from the manager playing Ben Gibson and not Luke Graham, and also not bringing Million Manhoef on. Shows negativity from the manager instead of trying to win the game. The chance of winning was there but the negative substitutions worked against us, and then to throw the subs under the bus was poor. Please be more positive, Mr Robins.

Craig: Very lacklustre second half for Stoke. They fell to pieces.

Second league defeat in a row for Robins this season and an abysmal record since last January. I reckon he could well be sacked this week as a result.
