Southampton midfielder Stuart Armstrong has said that he is enjoying the ‘positive’ atmosphere at St Mary’s at the moment.
Armstrong has become a key cog of Russell Martin’s side, having made an appearance in every Championship game so far this season, scoring two goals.
He recently was labelled as ‘exceptional’ in last week’s draw away at Preston North End.
33-year-old on atmosphere at Saints
Speaking to the Daily Echo, Armstrong spoke of how happy he is to be at St Mary’s at the moment, after a poor season last year.
“It’s a nice feeling. A lot of different things happened in the last couple of years, injuries and whatever, but now it’s so nice to be part of the team.
“We play in a nice way and I love to play in this style. We dominate the ball and everyone has a good understanding of what is expected of them.
“There is a good atmosphere around the place, the manager has got us feeling good so I am happy to be a part of it.
“It’s been so disappointing, last season was horrific for the fans to watch how we deteriorated and it was very tough being involved in that as well.
“I know we’re in a lower league but scoring late goals, winning games, and being at the top end of tables must be such a positive feeling for them to enjoy.”
Armstrong comments positive to hear
It is good to hear that Armstrong is enjoying life on the south coast once again.
The Scotland international has been one of Saints’ most consistent players, but his contract currently expires at the end of the season.
Martin has also recently made it clear that there has not been any talks over a new contract for the 33-year-old.
