Dr Who?

Oh and I do not blame anyone! We are in this together for 38 games

This, it could be injuries or could be the fixtures. I would have loved to have seen us in the last 8 with the same team as the first 8. I think we will pick up over the next 2 months.

Thank god that run of games are over...... between now and mid March we should be safe.

Always like this at 'family' time of the season. Boxing day, game in between christmas and new year and the new year fixture. Also the FA Cup 3rd round is a little naff!

very tough run of fixtures out of the way, with a few injuries, which you can blame when you have a bloody good first team, but not so good back up. I think in the summer we will look to push on again with adding to the squad. End of next season bring in the special one. Also the sack could be possible if things continue like this, with some 'easier' fixtures coming up (Taking Arsenal out).

Nope they have plenty of chances and not taken them, I fancy us to go on a win this in the second half.

I think we will see Rickie in the second half, needs someone for JRod to play off and Rickie can hold the ball up well in these conditions and bring others into the game.

For the home side we are looking a bit shaky, seems like we have lost confidence after loses to Villa and Spurs!

The man has great experience, but it is just he has a problem at his near post and crosses! Shot stopper he is brilliant, reminds me of Paul Jones in a way. Great servant and keeper.

Gaston has some real flashes of what he has in his locker, but gives the ball away cheaply at other times. KD looking good!

I would wait until we have a grip on the game, not pleasent veiwing at the moment......

Looks like our team are still being 'nice', looks like they were out seeing the New Year in!!

4 chances but not taken any? Give that to a certain player at Liverpool and he would have by now.

The good thing is that they have had a great spell, but have not scored. You do not get huge spells away from home and you really need to take them. We will have a spell and probably score.

Sounds a little bit of a circus going on on the pitch from Saints at the moment!

We should buy that Torres bloke, good job he cannot score! if it was anyone else, given those oppotunities we would have been 3 down.

So a let off, they were trying to get us back for the start that we had at their place!

Yes a dive, but still a penalty? I am unsure, did not play the ball and came across the player and then pulled out!! hmmm! Nice to see the ref giving the w*nker sign to the Boro players

I think we may leave in the window as he could give a lower league club, plenty of goals.

Referees are pretty much told how to referee like a robot! But what referees need to do is be consistant over a season, when most of the time they are not consistant in the same game. This is the thing that I hear the most and if you are not giving the same decisions in the same game, then this will cause huge problems. I do think that refereeing is much tougher these days, with players diving and cheating all over the pitch. In the olden days, players would not go down unless they were really kicked or punched in the face, which made it more clear cut for the referee. There is something every week and it is normally a player cheating! Also hand ball should be handball no matter if the player meant it or not, this would rule out bickering over this grey area. waits for a clip of a player clearly diving from the 70's and 80's!

That is just funny! The build it and they will come theory completely out of the window!

Would be good.

Nice to see all the well wishing Saints fans!

The voice of a man that is not going anywhere, a Saint for the rest of his career I think.

I do not think Sir Rickie is fully fit. Not sure about one up front. The weather is going to have a huge impact on our game and feel this is the reason for having Rickie on the bench as it will be hard going. Bring him on in the 2nd half and fire some long balls up to him in the wind!
