Disappointin result. Second would have clinched it. Well done Heidar. Will have to spend in January. Is anyone interested in Cup draw 2morrow? Would love to end our miserable record with a good draw and of course a win next month.

Thoroughly disapointed with just a point, but thats the name of the game if you don't take your chances. WBA should never been in the game at that point, gutted.

Brilliant game. On the attack from the off and Helguson is our on form man.

Unlucky to not win and win well but its the same old story. We are that close to being a really good mid table team but whats stoppinbg us is that we cant seem to convert our chances.

Still, we may get a point or two from the next two games, if only we convert our chances into some goals

It was more than a bit grim, Guly is an attacking midfielder, he doesn't lead the line well nor does he hold the ball well. Fox should spend the week practising corners as his delivery was woeful. Someone needs to get a grip of free kicks because without RL it was headless chicken time, and bringing on Holmes didn't work as it looked like he and Richardson were in a three legged race from the amount of time they spent tripping over each other. There is always going to be a disaster match I hope we have got it out of the way now and get back to winning away as well as at home but if RL is going to be out for a while NA has some work to do.

Am I alone in thinking that Barton's contribution so far has been massively overrated? He isn't creating much, isn't bossing the midfield and has given away several freekicks in nasty positions on the edge of the area. Yet one newspaper referred to his performance yesterday as 'inspirational'. It looked pedestrian to me with Faurlin once again a more energetic and effective performer. Both could do with a extra bit of acceleration.

For the first time this season I was not at an away game and could not listen on the radio as I was at a function. Reading the reports we were dreadful again. Even if the they play well you cannot keep loing to bottom 3 sides and hope to win the league. West Ham losing is no consolation.

Agree with Winchesterbob. Guly and Fox were poor today and Richardson was anonymous. Saints controlled the game but there was no penetration and we did not look like scoring. Schneiderlin seemed to be playing further forward than usual , and I just coulden't understand why, when we had Barnard on the bench. De Ridder seems to be gaining in fitness but we weren't playing to his strengths either. This game reminded me of Walsall away last year, when the opposition again had only 1 decent chance and scored from it. We definately need a plan B for when Rickie Lambert is not available.

I could not go and could not listen on the radio due to a function on saturday but reading the reports of how dire we were all players seem to be overmarked.
