Saints Season Review (so far!)
- Published
Southampton's start to the season has underwhelmed after a few unwanted results away from home, but "it's not all doom and gloom" says Daily Echo journalist Alfie House.
"Of the top of it, you have to say [Southampton] are slightly off pace," House told BBC Radio Solent.
"But when you consider the Spygate stuff that was still hanging over, players leaving - I'd say Taylor Harwood-Bellis was a big loss - and the squad is a little bit thin. When you consider all that, they are doing alright."
Southampton are currently five points off the top spot in the Championship in seventh place.
