Any keeper's price has gone up a few million thanks to McCalamity, everyone can see how desperate Saints are now. Should have made goalkeeper our first signing after gaining promotion. |

What short memories you have. Armstrong has a terrible first touch, in the Championship he can get away with it but in the Premier League to let the ball bounce 2 metres in front of you means you have lost it to the centre half. He doesn't have the pace to outrun the faster Premiership defenders. Maybe Stewart can make the grade, but as he was missing from the squad against Eastleigh don't hold your breath. Saints need 2 strikers, so let's hope they learned not to leave it to deadline day when they lost out on Gakpo. |

I would add that Bednarek is not Premiership standard either, he lacks the pace necessary, as was demonstrated in our relegation season. |

Some people have short memories. He was consistently caught out for lack of pace in the Premier, that's why no Premier club bought him last year and why he flopped at Villa. THB and KWP are the only 2 defenders we have who are good enough, we need to buy a goalkeeper, CB and left back. |

So Nick "we played in a formation that the players knew how to play" well where did Stephens fit in to this? He appeared to be operating as a third centre-back, a formation I don't recall us playing before. If you consider he was a midfielder, you have previously told us he is not suited to that role. I am not a supporter of his, but the team did look better balanced against Leeds. |

The managers instructions were probably don't get sent off and don't get injured. The match was a success, who gives a damn if we finish 4th with 84 or 87 points? |

The real irony is last month we were all hoping for automatic promotion because the play-offs are a lottery. Now we are glad the play-offs are a lottery because we are not the third best team in the Championship, but a lottery gives Saints a chance. Nick, do your research, the threshold for suspension has now been raised from 10 bookings to 15, with Bednarek on 9 before this match there was no way he would be risked even for 10 minutes. |

Like StTed88 I would like to thank Nick for putting in the time and effort to keep this site running. Nick, I often disagree with you, but then I disagree with some of the negative posts on here too. We all have our favourite players, and our least favourite too and I would get shot down in flames if i told you who my least favourite is. If I could be granted one wish (besides getting promoted) it would be that Bazunu doesn't get injured, he is now our key player in that his back-up is way below his standard. |

This shirt reminds me of the old soap powder adverts, this red half was washed in Dazzle, the faded pink side in another leading brand. On TV (on the rare occasions we will get chosen) the shirt looks half pink and half red, gets my vote for the worst Saints shirt ever and I wouldn't be seen dead in it. Glad I have last season's green shirt and the previous season's black shirt, they are my favourites. |

Our only chance of progressing to the semis was Charlton at home and hope we scrape through on penalties. Nick's proclamation that if we beat City we could go all the way is a joke, all the other teams are better than us at the moment, even Forest have a striker. |

Just in case there might be a chance to beat the opening game hoodoo I'm sure Ralph will play McCarthy in goal to ensure defeat. Remember last season when Forster looked good in the pre season friendlies, and who started against Everton? |

Don't you hate all these glory hunters who fill the stadium, where were they when Saints were languishing in League One? Soon it will be like Manchester United, having to ban season ticket holders who don't attend 10 home games. I mean, what's wrong with buying a season ticket at Old Trafford just to ensure you get to see the home game against Saints? United still get the money, don't they? I hate it when real fans like me who have supported the club through thick and thin since 1885 have to sit next to some prawn sandwich eater who doesn't even know the words to "If I had the wings of a sparrow". Look at Pompey, their average gate of 14,000 is only 3,000 below what they were getting when they were a force in the Premiership, I mean that's real fans. |

I am and have been throughout a Ralph supporter, I don't always agree with his team selections or tactics, but every manager we have had since Ted Bates has had his favourites which us fans can't figure out. This season our best centre back pairing was forced on Ralph when Stephens was injured. Our best midfield pairing was forced on Ralph by JWP getting himself suspended. Our best centre forward was playing thanks to Adams injury. I think Ralph's luck has changed for the better. |
