If you ignore the goal (which you can't) this was a pretty good performace. After Derby's goal Saints had almost total possession and I don't think Derby had a onother shot on goal in the first half. Chaplow an able substitute for the injured Lallana. Man of the match was Rickie apart from the goal his strength and control up front was brillliant. A special mention for Kelvin, his distribution this game was superb and he was even successful with some crosses. And the goal another defensive error?!

Wrong selection + wrong formation + wrong tactics = wrong result, officials made it worse with their decisions.

We were very poor today,and very very very lucky to get anything from a match against a mediocre team......the FG's gave us some space today!


Please, please Stevo, send Homer back "darn sarf" as soon as possible,we are a piss poor club and cannot afford to pay players for doing sweet fa!


Needs doing and you know it!

I agree hoops 58 when are we going to shrug off this championship mentality, it just won't wash, we looked a league or two below in quality today and seemed to be devoid of any composure or confidence and it was more dissapointing to me than the performance against Fulham. Derry and Faurlin keep getting caught out running for a tackle facing their own goal and losing out, Barton sits too deep and looks like he stiil wishes he was at Newcastle, he has hardly been an inspiration on the pitch so far and I wont even say what I think of our central defenders. I am just watching the game between Norwich and Swansea and the approach to the game from Norwich playing wide men and always have bodies in the box, 44 bloody 2 when are we going to give it a try for more than ten minutes, we have the players, Mackie and Bothroyd in front of Taraabt (who was pathetic when he came on) or Smith Faurlin Barton and SWP, come on we have got to start testing keepers, Robinson who was clearly carrying a strain, had bugger all to do and that just isnt good enough at home. Just seen the end of MOD and our game was a complete afterthought, how embarrassing. Next Sunday OMG, I think I will go to church in the morning.

Blackburn were so awful and QPR matched them on every front. Had we played Fulham again this week we would have lost 6 nil again. On this performance the coming few weeks will bring some more high scoring losses.

Barton was worthless - he has yet to show any leadership. Adel was useless. Derry was poor. The tactics were all wrong too. There are no excuses any more.

Our set pieces - well we dont have any set pieces - were of schoolboy standard. And our passing game was more often a few passes and then hoofing the ball upfield and losing posession.

Mackies return was the one good point from the game.

I agree we are still playing with a Championship mentality and unless we improve dramatically thats where we will be next year. Warnock seems to have lost the plot. Maybe he is a great Championship manager but he is proving to be an awful Premiership manager.

The January transfer window will have to bring in quite a few new players and unless things improve fast I suspect that it will be a new manager making the signing.

On todays performance by both manager and players , we are in trouble.

SE needs to get a grip on what management is about - it's not about playing your mates ( Tutte and Benali) it's about playing your best players and today it was crying out for JK or BBM. When you are playing 10 men you need players who can hold the ball and pass it.
I am still not convinced about SE ( and looking at his scores on this forum I am not alone) - he still seems tactically naive.......

I didn't watch game... nervous wreck. Simply said.

Mackie is back. That is good news.

Support DJ Campbell recovery, everyone's please.

One more thought

Where the hell has that team (spirit/tactics/desire) that played for us against Newcastle gone? It would have beaten Fulham and Blackburn!

Also I just saw Warnock on Sky Sports and when asked about the lack of home wins, especially with our upcoming home fixtures, his reply was that with the upcoming games it might be a good few matches yet before we win at home. Not what I want our manager to be saying...............

Not good enough. Short of confidence and too many long hopeful balls. Not adventurous enough at home - don't get enough players in the box. Although that could be because we're holding back trying to cover for One Size - truly shocking!

enjoyable game - played them off the park as conceded by the Derby fans in the pub after the game. I thought Guly was the problem first half - involved in everything but his final pass shocking. Good weekend away
