This goes to show you playing possession football means nothing when you don’t score enough,and losing this game against a team with only half a team with regular starters and half a team made up of reserve youngsters is a devastating result for Saints.What we can’t do lm afraid is defend for a full game and sooner or later you just know that we will give a goal away.Definitely no automatic promotion now and if we don’t watch out we may still be in the championship next season.

That’s the reason we would not survive in the premiership if we ever were unlucky enough to get promoted
Too many opportunities needed to score
The opposite as regards defending
When reality is mentioned you are classed as pessimistic
Personally I think it’s been an enjoyable season
But we need a massive clear out
To me the reality is we are nowhere good enough, if you base standards on premier requirements
Whether you want to blame the manager for his style of football is immaterial
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear

When we needed a win we got 6 nailed on chances missed, a petulant display in the second half, masses of passes missed and a McCarthy near post classic.

Oh well, it's important to see getting to the playoffs as a success and not a booby prize.

I'm guessing Bednarek's yellow means he misses the Leicester game?

If I did my job as badly as A Armstrong and Adams did I would expect be disciplined for poor performance but, hey, I’m sure they’ll just smile & wave and get on with it…..

Awful finishing yet again.
5 or 6 excellent chances missed.
We should have been out of sight at HT.
Further chances in 2nd Half.
Gift them a goal.
Panic.

We are joint top scorers in the league, yet throw away so many points.
We are being punished for not signing the quality Striker and Keeper we have needed all season.

Really disappointing against an injury hit Cardiff side. Missed so many chances again. Sums up our season, dominate games but can’t finish teams off and pay the price. Wicked deflection for their winner, can’t blame McCarthyism for the goals.

Huge loss to see Armstrong looking to be ruled out for the rest of the season.

Despite missing a hatful of chances I thought we didn’t play well and failed to control the game.

The play offs it is then.

Once more lack of effort in second half. Playing ball around in and about penalty area with a goalie no good with his feet asking for trouble and low and behold an easy win turned into a loss.
