Agree with Trebor that Summerville, Gnonto and Rutter were poor along with Piroe who didn`t get in the game.
Rodon probably the only one who really stood out and had he passed to Piroe when he was in the box I think we go on to win that game.
James unlucky and added the pace we lacked all game.
Whilst we had what 70+ possession most of it was from passing sideways or backwards as once again Southampton got the tactics right and our form against Norwich deserted us.
I would try and get Roberts and Rodon signed up first and foremost and look for a McLean type midfielder.
Summerville needs moving on and so does Gnonto.
We need to start making our signings early and get them all together pre season.
We missed out on promotion dues to our failings in the last 9 games and it was always going to be difficult the way Southampton play in a one off game.'"

There's a huge amount of talk on Mcatee at the moment, he was left out of cup final squad also which is final nail for him... huge talent, apparently we're a genuine option for him but there's lots of interest.. he's a Yorks lad i believe too.. didn't he come through Sheff U academy..? Either way it's exactly the sort of signing we need, very very talented, and if we went down god forbid he'd be a huge asset to sell or keep...  would be great if we can get it done.. he's only 1 year left on his deal too. Forrest struck gold with Gibbs-White, someone of Mcatee's calibre would be ideal

He'll leave, but they'll be strong competition, it will be a real coup if we manage to get him.


I've heard Tsmickas from Liverpool is likely to get done, though.
