2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season was an average tropical cyclone season, with seven tropical cyclones and five severe tropical cyclones developing during the season. The season ran from November 1, 2010 until April 30, 2011, though if any tropical cyclones had developed between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the official tropical cyclone year, they would have been counted towards the season's total.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season
Within the South Pacific basin tropical cyclones were officially monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service's Regional Specialized Meteorological Center in Nadi, Fiji, north of 25°S, and to the south the Meteorological Service of New Zealand's Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in Wellington, New Zealand.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season
Any disturbances forming in the region were designated with a sequential number suffixed by the letter F. In addition, the United States Military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center unofficially monitored parts of the basin during the season, where any systems judged to have achieved tropical storm strength or greater received a number suffixed with the letter P. RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington both use the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, and measure wind speeds over a period of ten minutes, while the JTWC measures sustained winds over a period of one minute which can be applied to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. Seven named storms formed or moved into the South Pacific basin during the 2010–11 season, the strongest of which was Severe Tropical Cyclone Wilma in late January.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
Ahead of the cyclone season, RSMC Nadi, TCWC Wellington, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and various other Pacific Meteorological services, all contributed towards the Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlook that was released during October 2010. The outlook took into account the moderate-strong La Niña conditions that had been observed across the Pacific and analogue seasons that had La Niña conditions occurring during the season.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
The outlook called for a normal or above average number of tropical cyclone occurring during the season, with nine to twelve named tropical cyclones, to occur between 135°E and 120°W compared to an average of nine. At least three of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while one was expected to become a category 4 severe tropical cyclone. In addition to contributing towards the Island Climate Update outlook, RSMC Nadi and the BoM issued their own seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
The BoM issued 2 seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region between 142.5°E – 165°E and one for the Eastern Southern Pacific region between 165°E – 120°W. They noted that the western region had a 79% chance of being above average activity with seven to eight tropical cyclones expected to form, compared to an average of five tropical cyclones. The eastern region had a 33% chance of being above average with five to six tropical cyclones predicted, compared to an average of seven tropical cyclones.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
Within their outlook RSMC Nadi predicted that between seven and nine tropical cyclones, would occur within the basin compared to an average of around 8.9 cyclones. They also reported that the tropical cyclone genesis trough was expected to be located within the Coral Sea area near to and to the west of the International Date Line. This was based on the expected and predicted ENSO conditions, and the existence of the Pacific warm pool of sub-surface temperature anomalies in this region. The Island Climate Update outlook assessed the risk of a tropical cyclone affecting a certain island or territory.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
As the tropical cyclone genesis trough was expected to be located within the Coral Sea area near to and to the west of the International Date Line, normal or slightly above normal activity was expected for island nations within the Coral Sea. It was also predicted that the risk of tropical cyclones affecting island nations located to the east of the International Date Line would be reduced during the season. It was predicted that Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands had an elevated chance of being affected by a single or multiple tropical cyclones. Fiji and Tonga were predicted to have a near normal chance, while other island nations had a low or reduced chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
17 tropical disturbances developed during the 2010–11 South Pacific tropical cyclone year, with 14 developing into tropical depressions and 8 becoming tropical and severe tropical cyclones.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 01F
The first tropical cyclone of the season, Tropical Depression 01F, was first identified on November 24 well to the west of Fiji. Little strengthening was anticipated to occur as the system slowly tracked towards the south-southeast. The following day, after an abrupt relocation to the southwest, the disturbance was assigned with the identifier 01F while situated near Vanuatu. Gradually strengthening, the disturbance was upgraded to a tropical depression on November 25 after a slight increase in convection. Situated along the eastern edge of an upper-level trough, the depression tracked towards the east-southeast and would keep this general motion for several days. Though situated over warm waters, estimated to be 30 °C (86 °F), persistent wind shear prevented the system from becoming organized.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 01F
The system later relocated into a region less favorable for tropical cyclogenesis on November 27 but continued to strengthen and become better organized. Despite attaining gale-force winds, the depression was not classified as a tropical cyclone as these winds were located roughly 110 km (70 mi) from its center. During the afternoon of November 28, the depression attained a minimum barometric pressure of 999 hPa (mbar; 29.50 inHg). Gradual weakening took place over the following few days as the system tracked southward. By November 30, the depression was declassified as a tropical cyclone and was last noted on December 1 near the International Date Line.

Early the next day, RSMC Nadi reported that the depression had intensified into a category one tropical cyclone and named it Yasi, while it was located about 510 km (320 mi) to the northeast of Port Vila in Vanuatu. Yasi continued to intensify throughout that day, while affecting the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Early on January 31, RSMC Nadi reported that Yasi had intensified into a category two tropical cyclone, before reporting that it had become a severe tropical cyclone. During that afternoon, both the JTWC and RSMC Nadi reported that the system had moved across 160°E and had moved out of the South Pacific Basin and into the Australian region, where it became a much stronger storm before striking Queensland during the first days of February.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Zaka
Early on February 5, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Disturbance 10F, had developed about 200 km (125 mi), to the south east of Nukualofa in Tonga. During that day, the disturbance gradually organized further whilst moving towards the east. RSMC Nadi, then classified the disturbance as a tropical depression, later that day. Intensification continued and on the next day, RSMC Nadi upgraded Tropical Depression 10F into a Tropical Cyclone and named it 'Zaka'. Soon, Zaka crossed 25°S and TCWC Wellington took full responsibility of the Cyclone. Hours later, the JTWC initiated advisories on the system and designated it with '12P'.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Zaka
At midnight, that day, TCWC Wellington further upgraded Zaka into a Category 2 Tropical Cyclone. Early on the next day, the system started weakening and became a Category 1 Tropical Cyclone. Hours later, TCWC Wellington downgraded Zaka, into a low, no longer considering it tropical. Late on that day, the JTWC, reporting that the system weakened rapidly, issued their final warning on the system.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Zaka
Weather warnings were issued to the Raoul Island as the system intensified and could bring a significant amount of rain. Zaka was initially expected to move in a southernly path and impact New Zealand. However, the system rapidly weakened and passed several miles east of the islands.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Atu
Early on February 13, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Disturbance 11F had formed about 65 km to the southwest of Port Vila in Vanuatu. During the next day, the system gradually moved north and started intensifying. Late on February 16, the disturbance turned south-southeast and intensified into a Tropical depression. On the next morning, organization in the system improved, but the convection decreased unexpectedly. Early on January 18, deep convection started developing over the Low-level Circulation Center (LLCC) which is very favorable for Tropical cyclogenesis. Late on that day, the JTWC started monitoring the system as Tropical Cyclone 17P.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Atu
Early on the next day, RSMC Nadi upgraded the depression into a Category 1 Tropical Cyclone and named it Atu. At midnight, that day, RSMC Nadi upgraded Atu into a Category 2 tropical cyclone, and six hours later it was upgraded again into a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone, and then again into a Category 4 Severe Tropical cyclone. Though Atu strengthened rapidly, it weakened unexpectedly on the next day because of an eyewall replacement cycle. Early on February 23, Atu crossed 25°S and entered TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility as a Category 3 Severe Tropical Cyclone. Late on that day, the JTWC, reporting that the system was becoming extratropical, issued their final warning on Atu. At midnight, that day, TCWC Wellington reported that Atu was no longer a Severe Tropical Cyclone. Within six hours, TCWC Wellington downgraded Atu into a low, no longer considering it tropical.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Atu
Relief operations across Vanuatu related to Cyclone Vania were temporarily halted due to dangerous conditions produced by Atu. All seagoing vessels stopped operations and many flights were canceled during the duration of its passage. On Efate, 400 people sought refuge in public shelters. Between February 20 and 22, Cyclone Atu brought heavy rains and damaging winds to portions of Tafea Province. Still recovering from Cyclone Vania the previous month, Atu damaged or destroyed the remaining crops left in the province. Agriculture damage on Tanna was reported to be devastating. Fruit on all banana and coconut trees were blown off. Communications with the islands of Aniwa and Futuna were lost during the cyclone. Contact was re-established three days after the storms passage. Minor damage took place on Efate, with some downed trees and debris strewn about.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Atu
The MV Nakato provided 240 tonnes of rice for residents in Tanna on February 25 while the MV Makila was used to bring rice to residents on Aniwa, Aneityum, Erromango, and Futuna. The Government of France later conducted areal surveys of the affected areas. A month after Atu's passage, residents in eastern Tanna reported that they had received no aid from the government despite shipments reaching less affected areas. The National Disaster Management Office later admitted that they did not have enough rice to distribute to all affected areas and received misinformation from survey teams.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Bune
On March 22, RSMC Nadi analyzed that a Tropical Disturbance had formed about 70 miles NNW of Fonualei island, Tonga. Later the same day it was upgraded to a Tropical Depression, and cyclone warnings were issued for islands in the Eastern Division of Fiji. As it neared the International Date Line it continued to strengthen and was named Tropical Cyclone Bune, and as it moved generally southwards it reached category 3 by March 25.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
The following tropical disturbances were also monitored by RSMC Nadi, however these systems were either short lived or did not develop significantly. On December 31, Tropical Disturbance 02F had developed within a trough of low pressure about 930 km (580 mi) to the southeast of Pago Pago in American Samoa. Over the next few days the disturbance's organisation slightly increased in an area of low vertical windshear, before RSMC Nadi issued its final advisory on the disturbance as it moved south of 25°S into TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
A few days later as Cyclone Vania was developing near Fiji, RSMC Nadi started to monitor Tropical Disturbance 04F which had developed within a monsoon trough, about 300 km (185 mi) to the northwest of the New Caledonian capital Nouméa. Over the next few days the disturbance remained weak and poorly organized, before RSMC Nadi issued their final advisory on the system during January 7, as the disturbance was not expected to develop into a tropical cyclone.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
During March 7, Tropical Low 21U developed within the Australian region, about 1,000 km (620 mi) to the northwest of Yeppoon, Queensland. During that day the tropical low moved eastwards and into the South Pacific basin, where RSMC Nadi expected the system to develop into a tropical cyclone and designated it as Tropical Depression 12F during March 8. However, during that day as the system was steered south-eastwards into an area of moderate to high wind-shear, atmospheric convection surrounding the system decreased, before it was last noted during March 9.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
Tropical Disturbance 14F developed during April 9, near Vanuatu and over the next couple of days moved slowly south-eastwards, before it was last noted during April 11, after convection surrounding the system had failed to organize. Tropical Depression 15F developed during April 16, within an area of moderate vertical windshear about 600 km (375 mi) to the east of New Caledonia. During that day the depression moved towards the south-southeast before the final advisory on the system was issued, as it left the tropics and convection surrounding the system started to become unorganized.


2010–11 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
On April 28, a low-pressure area that had developed within the Australian region, was predicted to develop into a tropical disturbance as it moved into the South Pacific basin. During the next day it was classified as Tropical Depression 16F while it was located near New Caledonia, before it was last noted later that day as it moved out of the tropics. The final tropical depression of the season developed during 10 May, within an area of moderate to high vertical windshear, about 155 km (95 mi) to the northeast of Avarua on the Southern Cook island of Rarotonga. Over the next day the depression moved towards the southeast, before it was last noted later that day by RSMC Nadi as it moved into TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility.

2010–11 South West Peninsula League
The 2010–11 South West Peninsula League season was the fourth in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league had been formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The Premier Division of the South West Peninsula League is on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One.

2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the least active cyclone season on record in the basin, tied with 1982–83, producing only three systems of gale intensity. This was due to cooler than normal water temperatures and the Walker circulation – a broad atmospheric circulation – causing unusually moist conditions in the eastern Indian Ocean and unusually dry conditions in the western Indian Ocean. The basin includes the waters of the ocean south of the equator and west of 90º E to the eastern coast of Africa.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
There were nine tropical or subtropical cyclones during the season, including five weak tropical disturbances or depressions, mostly in the northeastern portion of the basin or to the east of Madagascar. The first of these systems developed on 25 October 2010, which had its origins in the northeastern portion of the basin. On 29 November, the first named storm – Abele – also formed in the same area, strengthening to become one of the season's two tropical cyclones – storms with maximum sustained winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph).


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The strongest system of the season was Cyclone Bingiza, which attained peak winds of 160 km/h (100 mph) off the northeastern coast of Madagascar in February. Bingiza was also the only storm to cause severe effects on land, causing heavy damage and 34 fatalities across Madagascar. Moderate Tropical Storm Cherono developed in March and traversed much of the ocean, only brushing by the island of Rodrigues. The final system was a subtropical depression that intensified south of Madagascar, becoming extratropical on 16 April to end the season.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Season forecast and summary
On 22 October 2010, the MMS released their seasonal outlook and predicted that there would be 8–10 named storms within the basin during the season. At the end of December, the MMS issued an updated seasonal outlook, predicting that only 6–8 named storms would develop.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Season forecast and summary
As the season began, strong La Niña conditions persisted across the Pacific and Indian oceans, causing an increase in cyclonic flow near the equator over the Indian Ocean. However, atmospheric conditions over the basin significantly decreased tropical cyclogenesis. The Walker circulation – a broad atmospheric circulation – caused unusually moist conditions in the eastern Indian Ocean while producing an increase in subsidence and unusually dry conditions in the western Indian Ocean.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Season forecast and summary
In addition, sea surface temperatures were below normal from 5°–15° S and west of 90° E, which limited storm formation near the Chagos Archipelago, typically a common area of formation. By the end of the season, there were only three named storms, the fewest in 50 years, although there was also a subtropical cyclone with gale-force winds that could have been named. In terms of total days in which cyclones were active, the season was slightly behind the 1982–83 season, thus making the 2010–11 season the second-quietest on record. The season also marked a global trend of decreasing tropical cyclone activity over the preceding five years, although the basin experienced a sudden shift toward increased activity in the subsequent season.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Season forecast and summary
Météo-France's meteorological office in Réunion (MFR) – the official Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for the South-West Indian Ocean – tracked and named all tropical cyclones from the east coast of Africa to 90° E. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), which is a joint United States Navy – United States Air Force task force that issues tropical cyclone warnings for the region, also issued advisories for storms during the season.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 01
For two days toward the end of October, an area of convection persisted within the equatorial trough, east-southeast of the Chagos Archipelago. With a ridge to the south, the system moved generally southwestward. Initially, strong wind shear exposed the circulation, although the system had good inflow from the south. At 12:00 UTC on 25 October, the MFR designated the system as Tropical Disturbance 01, and on the next day upgraded it to a tropical depression, estimating winds of 55 km/h (35 mph).


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 01
Also on 26 October, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 01S about 1,575 km (980 mi) east-southeast of Diego Garcia, estimating peak winds of 65 km/h (40 mph), or a minimal tropical storm. This followed a decrease in wind shear and an increase in convection over the center. Persistent wind shear prevented the system from organizing, causing the thunderstorms to be removed from the center. The JTWC discontinued advisories on the cyclone on 27 October, and on the same day the MFR downgraded it to a tropical disturbance. On 29 October, the MFR issued their final advisory on the system. The remnants continued to the west-southwest, occasionally producing thunderstorms through early November.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Abele
On 23 November, an area of convection persisted southwest of Sumatra within the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), accompanied by a poorly-defined circulation. Initially the system remained nearly stationary, although it began drifting to the southwest due to a weakness in the subtropical ridge. Decreasing wind shear and improved inflow favored further development. On 28 November, the MFR designated the system as a zone of disturbed weather in the far northeastern portion of the basin. Early the next day, the agency upgraded the system to Tropical Disturbance 02 after the convection organized further. Also on 29 November, the TCWC Perth classified the disturbance as Tropical Low 02U, and the JTWC designated it as Tropical Cyclone 03S about 1,295 km (805 mi) west of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Abele
After the storm's development, the convection pulsed around the circulation, and was initially disrupted by wind shear in the region. Despite the circulation being exposed from the thunderstorms, the MFR upgraded the disturbance to a depression on 30 November, and further to Moderate Tropical Storm Abele on 1 December. By that time, the convection had consolidated over the center, which developed an eye amid lower wind shear. The MFR upgraded Abele to a severe tropical storm and later a tropical cyclone on 2 December, estimating peak 10 minute winds of 130 km/h (80 mph).


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Abele
The JTWC assessed 1 minute winds of 150 km/h (95 mph). By that time, Abele had turned to the south and southeast ahead of an approaching trough. Cooler water temperatures and increased wind shear caused the convection to weaken, and the winds dropped accordingly. Late on 2 December, Abele crossed 90°E into the Australian region; the storm continued weakening and later became extratropical on 4 December, dissipating the next day.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 03
On December 28, the ITCZ spurred an increase in convection in the northeastern portion of the basin. An elongated low-pressure area developed by 31 December, accompanied by intermittent thunderstorms. The system slowly consolidated, and the circulation center was exposed but well-defined. Despite moderate wind shear, the convection organized into rainbands on the system's southern periphery. On 2 January, the MFR classified the system as Tropical Disturbance 03, and later that day upgraded it to a tropical depression. However, persistent shear caused the convection to diminish on 3 January, which exposed the circulation.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 03
As a result, the MFR discontinued advisories on the system that day. The remnants produced scattered convection while moving west-southwestward. By 10 January, the circulation was still observed, although it was difficult to track. Two days later, the system turned southward, and by 15 January, the convection became more persistent as the system approached northeastern Madagascar. That day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert based on the improved appearance on satellite imagery. At around 05:00 UTC on 16 January, the remnants of the depression struck Madagascar near Fenoarivo Atsinanana, and the system rapidly dissipated over land.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bingiza
A zone of disturbed weather developed on 6 February well northeast of Madagascar. For the next few days, the system meandered southwestward, becoming Tropical Disturbance 05 on 8 February. By late the next day, the system had intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Bingiza, and the JTWC classified it as Tropical Cyclone 13S. After two days of meandering without strengthening, the storm turned to the southwest on 12 February due to a ridge to the south building toward Madagascar, Later that day an eye became apparent on satellite imagery, and Bingiza intensified to tropical cyclone status.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bingiza
Early on 13 February, the cyclone attained peak 10 minute winds of 155 km/h (95 mph), and the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 185 km/h (115 mph). The cyclone moved ashore in northeastern Madagascar on 14 February and quickly weakened as it crossed the country. It emerged into the Mozambique Channel as a weak tropical disturbance, but almost immediately turned southward and moved ashore western Madagascar. The storm again reached open waters on 16 February, and briefly reintensified into a tropical storm. On 17 February, Bingiza made its final landfall near Morondava, and once again weakened over land. Late on 18 February the system reached open waters, which became extratropical two days later.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bingiza
Cyclone Bingiza was the only main storm to affect Madagascar during the season. It dropped heavy rainfall, peaking at 276.3 mm (10.88 in), in addition to the strong winds near the landfall point. In Vinanivao, located along the Masoala peninsula, the cyclone destroyed half of the buildings as well as the roads and bridges, leaving it only accessible by boat. The high winds caused heavy crop damage, including to rice and banana, which left minimal food supplies in some areas.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bingiza
Overall, the cyclone destroyed 405.23 km2 (156.46 mi2) of rice fields, as well as 101.67 km2 (39.26 mi2) of other crops. Across its path, Bingiza destroyed 25,464 houses and damaged 36 schools, and caused 34 deaths in the country. The storm's outer circulation also dropped heavy rainfall in the Comoros, peaking at 770 mm (30 in) in the capital Moroni, and increased moist air over Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Cherono
On 10 March, Tropical Low 23U developed in the Australian basin southwest of Sumatra, and proceeded to move west. After crossing 90ºE, the MFR classified the system as a zone of disturbed weather late on 13 March, followed by an upgrade to Tropical Disturbance 07 on 14 March. The system had a poorly-defined circulation but persistent convection, despite strong easterly wind shear. By 16 March however, the shear had relaxed, allowing the convection to organize as the circulation became better defined. Good outflow and warm waters favored further intensification. At 00:00 UTC on 17 March, the MFR upgraded the system to a tropical depression, and a few hours later, the JTWC initiated advisories on the system as Tropical Cyclone 18S about 925 km (575 mi) southeast of Diego Garcia, an island in the central Indian Ocean.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Cherono
Gradually intensifying, the system moved steadily to the west-southwest, steered around the northern periphery of a ridge. Late on March 17, the MFR upgraded the depression to Moderate Tropical Storm Cherono. This marked the latest date for the third named storm of a season. On March 18, Cherono attained peak 10 minute winds of 75 km/h (45 mph) according to the MFR, and 1 minute winds of 85 km/h (55 mph) according to the JTWC. After that time, the circulation became exposed from the convection, affected by dry air in the region, as well as increased wind shear.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Cherono
On 19 March, the JTWC discontinued advisories, and operationally the MFR downgraded the system to a tropical depression that day, although a post-season analysis indicated Cherono remained a moderate tropical storm for two more days. At 21:00 UTC on 19 March, the storm passed about 40 km (25 mi) south of Rodrigues island, producing winds of 31 km/h (20 mph). The storm continued producing pulsing convection, increasing over the center on 20 March due to a temporary increase in wind shear.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Cherono
However, the shear returned and the convection weakened on 21 March due to an approaching upper-level trough, and Cherono weakened to tropical depression status. The same trough turned the storm to the south and southeast. On 23 March, the system became extratropical as it curved eastward. The low weakened further the next day, dissipating on 25 March.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Subtropical Depression 09
A low-pressure area moved eastward from Mozambique over open waters on 9 April. Two days later, convection increased over the center while located about 40 km (25 mi) southeast of Tôlanaro, Madagascar, which recorded a drop in atmospheric pressure. Located in a baroclinic environment, the system was located beneath an upper-level low, resulting in an unusual structure. However, warm waters and low wind shear favored development. Late on 11 April, the MFR classified the system as a zone of disturbed weather, and soon after designated it as a tropical disturbance. On 13 April, the MFR reclassified the system as Subtropical Depression 09, about 360 km (220 mi) southeast of Fort Dauphin. The system's asymmetric structure – the strongest winds were located in a convective rainband to the south of the center – resulted in the subtropical designation.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Subtropical Depression 09
Late on 13 April, the system attained gale-force winds, although it remained an unnamed subtropical depression. The MFR later noted that the storm could have been named, but the agency decided against it due to the structure and the location. After moving clockwise, the storm began moving southwestward, steered by a ridge. The storm gradually intensified, and the convection increased around the center, although the wind field remained very large. Despite decreasing water temperatures, the storm attained peak 10 minute winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) on 15 April.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Subtropical Depression 09
That day, the system also developed a warm thermal core, similar in structure to a tropical cyclone. Increased wind shear disrupted the convection, causing the storm to transition into an extratropical cyclone on 16 April. The system turned to the southeast and was absorbed by an approaching cold front on 17 April.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
The monsoon spawned a mesoscale convective system near Réunion on 28 January, with a weak circulation forming near the south coast of the island. The system dropped heavy rainfall over the island, reaching 400 mm (16 in) in mountainous areas. The circulation moved southward away from Réunion, becoming increasingly defined. On January 30, the MFR classified the system as Tropical Disturbance 04. However, the system soon weakened after it encountered cooler waters and stronger wind shear, and the MFR discontinued advisories early on 31 January. By 2 February, the remnants of the disturbance became extratropical while accelerating to the southeast.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
On 14 February, a weak low was present north of Rodrigues island with disorganized convection due to easterly wind shear. By the following day, the convection had become more persistent, accompanied by a broad circulation. At 18:00 UTC on 15 February, the MFR classified the system as Tropical Disturbance 06 to the northeast of Réunion. Continued wind shear prevented significant development, and the system moved southward, developing intermittently strong convection. On 18 February, the MFR discontinued advisories, although the remnant circulation persisted for several more days.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
Toward the end of March, the ITCZ produced an increase in convection in the Australian basin, accompanied by a disorganized center. The system moved westward over an area of warm water temperatures, and after crossing 90ºE into the basin, the MFR classified it as Tropical Disturbance 08 on 29 March after the convection organized more. The circulation became better defined, and the MFR anticipated that the system would eventually intensify into a severe tropical storm. However, poor inflow and unfavorable wind shear prevented the system from organizing, and the MFR discontinued advisories on March 31 after the circulation remained exposed from the convection. The circulation persisted for a few more days before becoming poorly defined on 4 April.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
Within the South-west Indian Ocean Tropical Depressions and Subtropical Depressions that are judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h, (40 mph) by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center on La Réunion Island, France (RSMC La Réunion) are usually assigned a name. However it is the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centers in Mauritius and Madagascar who name the systems.


2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
The Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius names the storm should it intensify into a moderate tropical storm between 55°E and 90°E, if the storm should intensify into a moderate tropical storm between 30°E and 55°E then the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Madagascar assigns the appropriate name to the storm. Tropical Cyclones moving into this region from the Australian Region are renamed by the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius, however tropical cyclones moving into the Australian region do not get renamed. New name lists are used every year, whilst a name is normally only used once so thus no names are retired.

2010–11 Southampton F.C. season
The 2010–11 Southampton F.C. season was the club's 71st and sixth consecutive season in The Football League, and their second in League One. Having narrowly missed out on the chance of promotion the previous season, Southampton were again seeking to reclaim their place in The Championship by being promoted in 2011. Before the commencement of the campaign, Southampton were slated as the favourites to win the League One title by a number of bookmakers, commentators and fans.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season
This season marked the 125th anniversary of the club's formation in November 1885, which was celebrated in a number of ways. Firstly, the four-year sponsorship deal with Flybe ended, with shirts for the anniversary campaign designed without a sponsor; secondly, the new shirts feature a redesigned club crest recognising the 125 years of the club's life; and thirdly, a new home shirt was designed to be reminiscent of the first ever worn by players of the club, being white with a red sash. The club also released a new black away kit, also without a sponsor, designed to be similar to the popular away kit worn in the 2006–07 season.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season
On 11 August 2010, the season was marked by early tragedy after the death of club owner Markus Liebherr, who had brought Southampton out of administration in July 2009. As a result, the following weekend's match against Milton Keynes Dons was postponed, and there were discussions of plans for a major club tribute to Liebherr. The club also faced major change later in the month, as manager Alan Pardew was sacked shortly after a 4–0 win against Bristol Rovers, a decision which the club deemed "essential" to "achieve its well known targets". On 12 September, after much speculation, the appointment of replacement manager Nigel Adkins was confirmed.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season
Southampton's promotion hopes were confirmed on the last game of the season on 7 May 2011 against Walsall at home. Having beaten Plymouth Argyle 3–1 earlier in the week, the Saints had all but achieved promotion on level points with Huddersfield Town and with an 18-goal advantage in the table. Southampton beat Walsall by the same scoreline, and Huddersfield failed to win their game against Brentford, drawing 4–4; Southampton were thus promoted to the Championship for the 2011–12 season.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies
In the team's opening pre-season game, during a two-match friendly tour of Switzerland, Southampton lost 4–2 to home side FC Thun. The Saints were 3–0 down at half-time, with goals coming from Ezequiel Scarione, Muhamed Demiri and Nick Proschwitz, and went another goal down after the break when Milaim Rama beat substitute goalkeeper Tommy Forecast. Southampton finally scored their first goal of the pre-season period halfway through the second half, when Dean Hammond converted a cross from David Connolly, and four minutes later captain José Fonte scored a second consolation goal from a Jason Puncheon corner. The club's tour of Switzerland heralded another unsuccessful game four days later, when French side FC Sochaux-Montbéliard beat Southampton 2–0; both goals came in the second half, from Ryad Boudebouz and Nicolas Maurice-Belay in the 50th and 60th minutes, respectively.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies
Back in England the club had a relative improvement in fortunes, beating Conference South side Farnborough 1–0 at Cherrywood Road on 21 July thanks to a late goal from striker Lee Barnard. Three days later the club visited Sutton United to compete in a pre-season exhibition tournament for the home side's President's Trophy, fielding a full-strength lineup (with exceptions for injuries) and drawing 1–1 following a poor start and a second half Rickie Lambert strike to share the trophy.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies
Southampton were later criticised, however, after allegedly refusing to remain on the pitch to share the trophy, which was founded in the memory of the club's former president Andrew Letts. The club played League Two side Barnet on 27 July, with a starting lineup consisting of a mix of regular first team players, youth regulars and trialists. After a goalless first half, full back Joseph Mills broke the deadlock for the visitors shortly after the break, and 1–0 was how it remained until full-time to give Southampton another pre-season win.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies
In the only pre-season game at St Mary's Stadium, Southampton lost 4–2 to Championship side Reading. The visitors went one goal up within 19 minutes thanks to a "one man mission" by Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurðsson, before Lee Barnard levelled for The Saints ten minutes before half-time. The score remained 1–1 at the halfway point, and Southampton restarted strongly with a goal from captain Dean Hammond in the 49th minute. With just over 20 minutes until the end, full back Dan Harding gave away a penalty to Reading, which was converted by striker Simon Church.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies
The game was over for the hosts under ten minutes later, as Church doubled his tally and former Saints loan player Michail Antonio sealed the win for Reading in the 85th minute. In the last pre-season game of the year, just five days before the beginning of the league campaign, The Saints played a young side made up mainly of Academy players against local non-league side Eastleigh, with defender Aaron Martin captaining the team against his former club. Southampton broke the initial deadlock, with young striker Sam Hoskins scoring from a low shot in the 20th minute. Many more chances were seen in the remainder of the first half and the second period, but ultimately none were made to count and Southampton finished as 1–0 winners to go into the new league season on a high note.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies, Saints XI
While the first team were located at their Swiss training camp, a team dubbed as the "Saints XI" comprising reserve and youth players contested a number of friendlies back in Hampshire. In their first game, a side including four trial players beat Winchester City 4–1 at the Denplan City Ground, with trialists Harlee Dean and Scott Shutton scoring in the process.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, Pre-season friendlies, Saints XI
In the second game, Southampton lost 2–1 to Havant & Waterlooville, after a home goal within two minutes and a 2–0 deficit at half-time meant Jordace Holder-Spooner's second goal in as many games was little more than a consolation for the Saints. On 17 July the young side played Basingstoke Town at The Camrose, losing 2–1 after a Basingstoke opener in the second half, an equalising header by in-form striker Sam Hoskins and a Stuart Lake winner for the home team.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One
The fixtures for the 2010–11 League One season were published on 17 June 2010, giving Southampton an opening day home tie against Championship relegation victims Plymouth Argyle on 7 August 2010. The Saints' final game of the season will be against Walsall (whom they beat 3–1 and 5–1 in the previous season) at home on 7 May 2011; their first away game was scheduled to be against Milton Keynes Dons on 14 August but was postponed following the death of Markus Liebherr; and the local derby with AFC Bournemouth was scheduled for 2 October 2010 and 12 March 2011.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
The season got off to a disappointing start for Southampton, who lost 1–0 to Plymouth Argyle in the opening game of the season on 7 August 2010. Despite dominating the first half, it was the visiting side who broke the deadlock when Luke Summerfield scored within two minutes of the beginning of the second half.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
Substitute Adam Lallana was the first to test Argyle goalkeeper David Button in the last quarter of the game, but the home side failed to regain their early momentum to slip to a defeat in their first game of the campaign despite a number of late chances. The club were due to play Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium:mk on 14 August, but due to the death of Markus Liebherr the match was rescheduled for 15 September. On 21 August Southampton picked up their first league point of the season against Leyton Orient, drawing 1–1 at St Mary's.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
On his return to the team following injury, Rickie Lambert scored a free kick early in the game to put the Saints ahead, only for Terrell Forbes to equalise two minutes later with a headed goal. Momentum changed hands throughout the remainder of the game, and a number of chances were created but missed by Southampton players, not least Lee Barnard, but the game ended level to leave the Saints in the bottom quarter of the table. The following week the club recorded their first win of the season, with an emphatic 4–0 away victory over Bristol Rovers.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
The game saw defender José Fonte score his debut for the club, as well as goals from Adam Lallana and a penalty from Rickie Lambert, ending in the final minute with Lee Barnard's first goal of the season. Despite this impressive win, it was the last game for manager Alan Pardew, who was sacked just days later.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
Assistant manager Dean Wilkins took over as caretaker manager following Pardew's sacking, and his first league game in charge was at home against recently promoted Rochdale on 4 September. The first period was largely dictated by the Saints, but a goal from Chris O'Grady on the stroke of half time broke up the home side's momentum and they went into the second half trailing.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
The game continued in the visitors' favour and Rochdale doubled their lead just after the hour mark courtesy of a volley from Gary Jones, leaving the Saints in a precarious position leading up to the imminent appointment of a new manager. Saints, still without a replacement manager, played Swindon Town on 11 September after losing 3–0 to the club in the League Trophy less than two weeks before. The game was yet another disappointment for Dean Wilkins's side, who lost 1–0 courtesy of a 65th-minute goal from Charlie Austin, despite hitting the frame of the goal twice and having an effort cleared off the line during the game.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
Following the appointment of Nigel Adkins as the club's new first team manager, the Saints played Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium:mk on 15 September, the game having been postponed following the death of Markuss Liebherr. Adkins began his time on the South Coast poorly, leading Southampton to their fourth consecutive goalless defeat at the hands of the Dons.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
The first half ended goalless, with goalkeepers David Martin and Kelvin Davis impressing with saves from Rickie Lambert and Lewis Guy respectively, but two goals in the last 20 minutes from Angelo Balanta and Peter Leven left the visitors in the relegation zone with their game in hand played. The club's disappointing run of results continued on 18 September with a goalless draw against Colchester United, leaving them in the relegation zone.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
The game itself was arguably evenly spread between Southampton and Colchester, with the home side said to be edging ahead in the second half culminating in three consecutive chances for Rickie Lambert in injury time at the end of the game. On 25 September Southampton earned their first win in six games by beating Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough Stadium. Lee Barnard scored his second league goal of the season (and the first under manager Nigel Adkins) to end the club's 510-minute goal drought to help them out of the relegation zone.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
The game was largely dominant for the Saints, although for short periods of time throughout the game Wednesday looked to be on top of proceedings. Other chances came from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rickie Lambert, and at the very end of the game goalkeeper Kelvin Davis pulled off a string of impressive saves to hold on to the 1–0 for Southampton. In the final game of the month on 28 September, Southampton were unable to build on the previous weekend's win, drawing 1–1 at Yeovil Town.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, August–September 2010
Brazilian loan signing Guilherme do Prado, who came on as a substitute for the second half, scored his first goal of the season for the Saints just before the hour mark, only to be cancelled out by an Adam Virgo penalty less than ten minutes later. Guly almost won the game for the visiting side late on in the match, but was denied a second goal by Yeovil's post, leaving both sides to pick up a point from the match.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
On 2 October the Saints picked up their second win in three matches by beating local rivals AFC Bournemouth 2–0 at St Mary's Stadium. The home side took command throughout the game, with Rickie Lambert scoring two penalties, one in each half, to overpower the in-form visitors. The first league meeting between the local rivals in over 50 years, the match was eventful throughout with a total of five bookings and one dismissal, numerous potential penalties and other controversies, and also saw the return of Adam Lallana and debut of loanee Richard Chaplow.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
The following week Southampton continued their winning streak with a 2–0 domination of visitors Tranmere Rovers. Rickie Lambert picked up his third goal in two games just before the end of the first period, followed by a goal from Adam Lallana on the outside of the box to send the club two places up to 13th in League One. Southampton faced defeat again on 16 October when they lost 2–0 to fellow promotion hopefuls Huddersfield Town at the Galpharm Stadium.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
The home side broke the deadlock within the first six minutes of the game thanks to a goal from winger Anthony Pilkington, and continued to dominate the first half until Joey Guðjónsson doubled the lead in the final minute before half-time. The second half continued largely in Huddersfield's favour, with sporadic moments of Southampton domination leading to little in terms of scoring chances.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
Late in the second period the game's fourth official, unable to continue, had to be replaced, which took some time to complete; the result was an astonishing 11 minutes of injury time (which also included time added on for a head injury to Rickie Lambert) added on at the end of the game, although even this was insufficient for the Saints to come back and they ultimately lost quite comprehensively. The Saints made it three home wins in a row on 23 October when they came behind from a one-goal deficit to beat Oldham Athletic 2–1. Defender José Fonte scored his second of the season on the stroke of half time, before young winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his first league goal for the club in the second half to secure the win.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
The following week the Saints travelled to League One newcomers Notts County, with a team that included the return of defender Frazer Richardson after a long injury and captain Dean Hammond following suspension. The home side opened the scoring within ten minutes, with Mike Edwards heading in a Ben Davies free kick to give new manager Paul Ince a dream start to his managerial spell with the club.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
County held onto their lead until just before the 70-minute mark, when captain John Tompson was shown a straight red card for bringing down Lee Barnard in the box, subsequently resulting in a penalty for the visiting side. Rickie Lambert converted the spot kick to equalise for Southampton, before setting up Barnard himself for a goal just a few minutes later to take the lead.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
Winger Adam Lallana scored in injury time to seal the win against the ten-man Notts County, sending the South Coast club up to 9th place in the league, their highest since the beginning of the campaign. On 2 November the Saints faced 23rd-placed Dagenham & Redbridge at home, another recently promoted side, and picked up an extremely comfortable 4–0 win.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain picked up two more goals to add to his impressive recent tally and put the home side 2–0 up going into half time, before Lee Barnard and José Fonte scored in the 56th and 69th minutes respectively to convert the dominant performance into another win for Southampton. As a result, the club moved into 6th place, the first time they had been in a playoff position all season. On 13 November the club's winning streak ended at the hands of Carlisle United who picked up a 3–2 win over the Saints.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
The first half saw Southampton display one of their worst performances of the season, with a Dan Harding own goal putting Carlisle into half-time two goals up. Another goal from teenage winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave the Saints a lifeline, although Carlisle picked up one more to make Dean Hammond's 81st-minute long range strike a mere consolation.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
Southampton got back on track with their sixth home win in a row in all competitions against Peterborough United on 20 November with a convincing 4–1 win. Goals came from Lee Barnard, José Fonte, Richard Chaplow and Guly do Prado, which sent the club back into the playoff positions in preparation for the match against first-place Brighton & Hove Albion later in the week. The game against Brighton, contested on 23 November, ended goalless after Southampton owned the first half and also arguably out-performed the visitors in the second period.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, October–December 2010
Kelvin Davis notably saved a penalty, while Southampton had a large number of chances thwarted by the defensive Brighton side who ultimately held on to end Southampton's winning run at home. After a long break due to adverse weather conditions, Southampton hosted Brentford on 11 December and lost 2–0, with first half goals coming from strikers Gary Alexander and Charlie MacDonald. After more postponed matches, the Saints returned to St Mary's on 28 December to defeat Huddersfield Town 4–1 in the first return game of the season. Despite going 1–0 down in the first half, the Saints dominated the majority of the game and goals from Rickie Lambert, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Radhi Jaïdi and Richard Chaplow helped the home side move swiftly to the playoff positions in 5th place.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
Southampton began 2011 in top form, beating Exeter City 4–0 on 1 January. Winger Guly do Prado scored twice, before Adam Lallana and substitute Lee Barnard topped off the match with goals in the second half. Thanks to results elsewhere in the league, the result sent the club to the automatic promotion places for the first time in the season. Just two days later, the Saints travelled to play the return match against Dagenham & Redbridge, after beating the side 4–0 in November.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
After a goalless first half and numerous Saints chances, the visiting club broke the deadlock less than two minutes after the break, when Adam Lallana scored his eighth of the season with an overhead kick. Guly do Prado made it 2–0 after 75 minutes, before Josh Scott headered in a goal for the home side in the last ten minutes. Dagenham were unable to make the goal count for anything, however, as striker Rickie Lambert finished the game off with a goal in the last minute to keep Saints in the automatic promotion places.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
On 11 January Southampton closed the gap on League leaders Brighton by thrashing Oldham Athletic 6–0 at Boundary Park. The scoring started early, as winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored within nine minutes before Adam Lallana made it two shortly before half time. In the second half though, the Saints made their advantage really count, converting a further four chances with Guly do Prado, Richard Chaplow, Rickie Lambert and substitute Lee Barnard adding to their season tallies to increase the pressure at the top of League One.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
Southampton's winning run came to an end on 15 January, as the match with Notts County ended goalless. The Saints had the majority of possession throughout the game, José Fonte was denied a goal in the second half as his header was cleared off the line, and in the last minute Ryan Dickson cleared a County effort off the line to leave the match goalless. The misfortune continued when Southampton lost 2–0 to Tranmere Rovers in the return game at Prenton Park.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
The first half was dominated by the struggling home side, and marked by a goal for midfielder John Welsh following a miscommunication between Saints goalkeeper Kelvin Davis and defender José Fonte. The visiting team continued to struggle in the second half, and under-performances from players such as Rickie Lambert, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Guly do Prado meant that Rovers doubled their lead thanks to a goal from Dale Jennings, sending the Saints down to fourth below local rivals Bournemouth following their win over league leaders Brighton.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
On 1 February, Saints scraped a win at Exeter City to avoid a three-game losing streak. The game ended 2–1 to Southampton after a brace of goals from Rickie Lambert, including a final-minute winner, reversed the initial Exeter lead. Daniel Nardiello opened the scoring for the home side just before half time, and it took until 20 minutes before the end for the visitors to come back, when Lambert headed in a cross from new signing Dany N'Guessan to equalise.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
Lambert doubled his tally in the last minute of normal time, heading in another cross this time from returning midfielder Dean Hammond. On 5 February Southampton dropped two points in the return match against Peterborough United, sharing the spoils in an eight-goal thriller. The visitors started off the game well, going 2–0 up within half an hour following a Richard Chaplow goal and a Rickie Lambert penalty, but in the last six minutes of the first half Peterborough equalised with strikes from Craig Mackail-Smith and Chris Whelpdale.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
Lambert scored a second penalty just after the break to extend his lead as the club's top scorer of the season, and returning captain Dean Hammond restored the Saints' two-goal lead just three minutes later. A further two penalties for Peterborough led to a 4–4 draw, with the final goal coming from Lee Tomlin in the third minute of injury time at the end of the match. A week later the Saints reduced Huddersfield Town's lead in 3rd place of the table when they defeated Carlisle United 1–0 at home in a relatively uneventful game.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
The game was initially brought alive within the last five minutes of the first half, when Carlisle defender Gary Borrowdale was sent off after receiving a second booking for arguing with the assistant referee, after which Rickie Lambert scored his 50th Southampton goal by heading in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross. In the second half, further chances were limited and Southampton nervously picked up three points while Huddersfield played out a goalless draw with Oldham Athletic meaning Southampton could go ahead of Huddersfield should they win their game-in-hand.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
Southampton remained fifth with several games in hand over Peterborough, Huddersfield and Bournemouth after drawing 0–0 with Hartlepool United on 22 February. Southampton upheld their unbeaten league run at the weekend, beating Swindon Town 4–1 at home in a convincing performance marked by only five minutes of Swindon dominance in the second half. Adam Lallana opened the scoring for the home side after just 15 minutes, and chances for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Guly do Prado could have increased the scoreline going into half-time.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, January–February 2011
In the second half, winger Matt Ritchie equalised for Swindon, but his effort was cancelled out within minutes when Rickie Lambert and Radhi Jaïdi both scored from set pieces within two minutes of one another to make it 3–1. With more chances for Saints in the later stages of the game, substitute Lee Barnard eventually confirmed the win for Southampton with a goal in stoppage time.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
On 1 March, Southampton lost away to Walsall, who before the match were in the relegation zone. In terms of attempts and pressure, the visitors were largely on top for most of the game, but it was Walsall who made their chance count when Jon Macken scored in a period dominated by Saints chances in the second half. Despite late chances for Lallana, Barnard, Lambert and Jaïdi, Walsall rode out the 1–0 victory to leave Saints in 5th place in the table.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
The Saints won their return game against Colchester United 2–0 on 5 March, increasing the pressure in the top section of the table. After largely dominating the opening period, the visitors went one up after half an hour with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain poaching a goal following a Rickie Lambert free kick. Within two minutes of the goal, Colchester were reduced to ten players as striker David Mooney was sent off for challenging Danny Butterfield off the ball, and Southampton's dominance was made easier for the remainder of the game.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
In the second half the team made their advantage count, as captain and former Colchester player Dean Hammond scored his third league goal of the season from inside to double Southampton's lead and secure the three points. Back at St Mary's on 8 March, Southampton beat struggling side Yeovil Town 3–0. Lee Barnard scored twice to bring his league tally to 10, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain finished off the scoring in the second half with a long-range solo effort. The Saints remained fifth, however, as teams above them won their matches too.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
On 13 March, Southampton travelled to Dean Court for the second local derby against Bournemouth of the season. Southampton won the game 3–1, meaning they moved above the home side in the league table. The game was an exciting encounter all-round, with Finnish teenage striker Lauri Dalla Valle, on loan from Fulham, opening the scoring for Bournemouth in the 6th minutes, despite Southampton players' protests of offside. Just five minutes later however, it was all level again when Lee Barnard's header was fumbled by the Bournemouth defence and found its way into the net for 1–1.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
In the second half, Southampton took the lead thanks to a goal from captain Dean Hammond, and top scorer Rickie Lambert assured the win in the 88th minute with a solo effort. In injury time, Oscar Gobern received a red card, but Southampton cruised to victory to move up to 4th place in the table once again. Southampton picked up a fourth league win in a row on 19 March, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2–0 in a late kick-off.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Despite a number of good chances for the Saints in the opening 45 minutes, it took until 15 minutes into the second half for defender José Fonte to break the deadlock, heading in an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain corner. With the team in full flow now, Rickie Lambert scored his 17th goal of the season just six minutes later to make it two for Southampton and secure the win. It could have been more though, with Adam Lallana hitting the post shortly after Lambert's goal and a great performance from Wednesday goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell denying further opportunities from Oxlade-Chamberlain and others.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Southampton moved up to third place in the table on 24 March when they picked up a point against Charlton Athletic at The Valley, although missed out on the chance to move second with two games still in hand over Huddersfield Town. The Saints largely edged out the home side throughout the game, with more possession and chances on goal, but it took until after the hour mark to break the deadlock when defender Radhi Jaïdi headed in a corner from Guly do Prado, who had only come on as a substitute three minutes earlier.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Charlton increased the pressure in the last 20 minutes, and former Saints player Bradley Wright-Phillips equalised the game in the 86th minute to crush Southampton's hopes of moving into the League One promotion places. After a two-week break, Southampton returned to St Mary's to face Milton Keynes Dons on 2 April 2011 and won 3–2. The visiting side were on top for most of the first half, and opened the scoring in the 34th minute when Gary MacKenzie headed in a Peter Leven corner.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
The Dons doubled their lead early in the second half courtesy of Sam Baldock, but after Jonathan Forte came on for the Saints shortly after the hour mark the dynamic of the game changed: Forte scored two goals in the space of two minutes, bringing Southampton level and giving them a chance to make the game their own. It only took another ten minutes for the home team to score another and take the lead, this time courtesy of Lee Barnard latching onto a Rickie Lambert assist.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Southampton held out for the victory, and remained third in the table with three games in hand over Huddersfield and two over Brighton. Southampton's run of good form was continued when they played Charlton Athletic at St Mary's just two weeks after the match at The Valley, winning 2–0. Goals came from Guly do Prado early in the first half and from Lee Barnard early in the second, with each scorer setting up the other for their goal.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Southampton moved into the automatic promotion places of League One on 9 April by beating Leyton Orient 2–0 at Brisbane Road. The Saints rode their luck somewhat throughout the game, as Orient playmaker Jimmy Smith was denied two goals for offside and Stephen Dawson hit the post in the last minute. Rickie Lambert scored his 18th goal of the season in the 26th minute to put the Saints one up, and the victory was sealed in the 88th minute by a goal from Lee Barnard.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
The victory was complemented by Huddersfield Town drawing 1–1 with Peterborough United, which meant that Southampton could move past them into second place in the table, still with two games in hand. Three days later though, Southampton lost for the first time in ten games at Rochdale in one of their games-in-hand over third-placed Huddersfield and leaders Brighton. Midfielder Joe Thompson opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark with a headed goal before striker Chris O'Grady made it two before half time.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
The visitors had more of the ball overall and more chances on goal, but Rochdale held onto the clean sheet and the two-goal lead to leave Southampton trailing even further behind Brighton, who picked up another win to go 16 points ahead at the top of League One. Southampton picked up an important three points on 16 April against Bristol Rovers, when they won by a single goal at St Mary's.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
The game was marked by the high number of bookings it heralded – four for the Saints and three for Rovers – as well as an injury to striker Lee Barnard which forced him to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher. Guly do Prado scored the only goal of the game, converting a solo effort into the winning strike in the 82nd minute to keep Southampton in second place. Brighton won their game against Walsall 3–1, which meant that they secured the League One title for the season, leaving Southampton to fight against Huddersfield, Peterborough United and Milton Keynes Dons for the second automatic promotion place.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Southampton faced Brighton on 23 April, and after trailing for most of the game managed to beat the new League One champions 2–1. The first half was evenly matched, with the Saints maybe edging the home side out slightly, but it was Brighton who broke the deadlock just before half time thanks to a goal from Ashley Barnes following an incident of miscommunication between Radhi Jaïdi and Kelvin Davis. It took until the 84th minute for the Saints to equalise, and the goal came from substitute David Connolly, who had been on the pitch for less than ten minutes.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
Just five minutes later, in the last minute of normal time, José Fonte headed in a cross from Dean Hammond to put the visitors ahead and secure the three points. The Saints increased the pressure on Huddersfield by beating Hartlepool United 2–0 two days later. The first half was dominated by the home side, with a goal from Guly do Prado being disallowed for offside. Rickie Lambert opened the scoring in the second half with a penalty following a foul by defender Sam Collins which saw the visitors go down to ten men.


2010–11 Southampton F.C. season, League One, March–May 2011
José Fonte doubled the lead in the 82nd minute to secure the win and keep Southampton in the second automatic promotion place.

Southampton essentially confirmed their promotion in the penultimate game of the season against Plymouth Argyle on 2 May, when they won 3–1 after dominating the entire match.

Defender Ryan Dickson made it two with his first of the season shortly after the break, before a foul gave the Saints a penalty which Lambert confidently converted to put the visitors three up within the hour and all-but confirm the relegation of struggling Plymouth. Yannick Bolasie picked up a consolation for the home side in injury time, but it was not enough to save their League One status. Southampton confirmed their promotion in the last game of the season on 7 May against Walsall, winning 3–1.

The game was largely dominated by the home side, who scored twice in a three-minute period in the first half, with goals coming from Guly do Prado and David Connolly.

After a largely mundane and entirely uneventful game at St Mary's, the Saints defeated the Shrews with two goals in injury time at the end of the game from David Connolly and Adam Lallana. Connolly's goal was his first of the season, and came after he was brought on as a substitute just moments previously after a long period out through injury; he also provided the assist for Lallana's goal to send Southampton into the Second Round of the FA Cup.
