You can't have a Top 10 Greatest Saints players and not include the goal machine Steve Moran, one of my favourite ever players to pull on a Saints shirt.
173 league appearances (plus 7 as sub) and 78 goals. Many fond memories of Steve scoring up and down the country on away weekenders with my drunken mates back in the days.
He scored some fabulous goals for us - and of course - who could ever forget this beauty!
We're going down for sure - that's nailed on. It's now all about beating Derby's 2007-08 eleven-point total and, thanks to today, one more win from somewhere will do it!
Ipswich are quick on the counter attack which is causing us problems. I know we must win this game no matter what & have to throw bodies forward, but christ they look quick on the counter. Good couple of saves from Ramsdale has kept us in it though.
We're lumping long balls to Tall Paul in the hope that he can hold play up and get support around him. I reckon set pieces are probably our best bet to score again - a header from a corner by Tall Paul will do!
I like our wide play today from KWP and Welington.
Not getting too carried away. With Saints, nothing is ever straightforward... and our defence still worries me., but COYS!
Their next two games are third-placed Burnley at home & then second-placed Sheff United away.
The Pompey fellas that I've known for donkey's years echo us in the "Why are both our teams so sh1t?" stakes this season. It's even more frustrating that the two South Coast teams we're both sandwiched in between, Brighton and Bournemouth, are both having very good seasons - particularly Bournemouth.
The only single, small, bright light on the horizon for Saints, amongst all the sh1t of this season, will be the two derby matches next season home & away - providing Pompey manage to avoid relegation of course. I can't understand how any self-respecting 'scummah' wouldn't be looking forward to that!
Forest, having narrowly avoided the drop last season, had a vast, bloated squad which they had to thin out during the Summer... which they did.
What they now have are no big stars or Charlie big-bollix types. They have good, honest, capable players all over the pitch & a very good manager in Nuno Espírito Santo who gets the very best out of them and makes them work hard & train hard, by all accounts. He also plays the game the way it should be played.
We have none of the above... except the bloated, sub-standard squad part.
