Southampton's midfield fan favourite Steven Davis advised an important thing to Russell Martin about Rangers fans which was on the cards in yesterday's miserable outcome.
Southampton conceded eight more goals than Chelsea across last season's double header, and why it's important is because Kyle Walker-Peters stood through those scenes as a starter. Now, the 28-year-old is set to face the same opponent in a West Ham outfit.
The first ninety Premier League minutes at his new team has been nothing short of a headache, and Walker-Peters will now feel content to fork out some points as Southampton fans used to in the prior campaign. Not saying the grass is entirely greener at St. Mary's but Besiktas don't appear regretting a KWP miss.
The Turkish team is on a roll with league wins and a European spot to play for. Simply put, Walker-Peters has a long way to go before he can justify his transfer choices on the pitch.
Russell Martin pays the price for not giving enough importance to Davis' words
Another Saint with a summer regret building up is Russell Martin, who might have paid less attention to what the iconic Steven Davis had to say about not disappointing fans. The newer ones may be turning an easy eye upon his dwindling winning streak but now a defeat has made its presence known.
The result was a booing-fest with the Glasgow Times quoting Martin's thoughts: "Yes, I think they're all entitled to their opinion. Although, I do think we're going to need them, so much."
It's still early days into the season but Martin must gather pace and form soon because his new job doesn't tag matchday wins as an optional checklist, unlike Southampton. Hopefully, the Scot switches to better and bigger things from now on.
