DT

Not sure if anyone really thought we’d win this one. Ah well.

Really think he’s been half arsed for a long time now. Time to change it up with a new wing back when transfers allow. So slow. Crap on the goal.

That was a terrible floaty free kick from ward Prowse. Nothing on it.

Bit limp, this. Come on saints. Create something.

Come on Saints. Cheer me up and be like you were in the first bit of the season, not the second.

Never a penalty in a million years that Fulham one. Awful dive from Lemina. Game’s gone

I wonder if it's the 'trouble-makers' that we should move on to get some unity in the side. We all have our views on who they might be. They certainly don't look very together as a team. Wonder what the real dressing room is like and whether they have faith in Ralph or his system. Going on the body language stuff in the thread...

9-0 (to Leicester) is 200-1 on Betfair... BUT: One-off game, TBH anything can happen. Be great if we turn up. We live in hope of a final appearance. From Ralph's perspective it is important to turn around a pretty dreadful season, overall.

We'll beat Palace. Maybe one other point from the rest - I'd say Fulham. We're too easy to beat.

Interesting how well organised just about every other Prem team looks compared to us. Which is down to the coach. Surely.

aged well

Ralph is really not all that, is he? Would like Potter. Ex Saint. Level headed, knows how to set a side up to be solid. Sadly that ship has sailed. Can only see that the flimsiness comes from the coach. And having too many 'losing possession' players like Walcott and Redmond. Perhaps Oriel is a bigger miss than we thought. But bloody hell, oh for a bit of structure.

They look so ‘uncoached’ and sloppy

Dear oh dear

Pleasure. I hope you're right.

Our strongest team line-up. Good.

I think we'll lose this one, sorry. Half an eye on FA Cup and avoiding injuries, thinking we're safe, underestimating them and especially as they have nothing to lose. Equals home win I suspect. Would be happy with a draw and no injuries.

We are away. But yes.

Totally agree. Hugely overrated.

I know. The question was which players would make our squad

Oh god. They're talking about Winks. Absolutely awful. Just about the most overrated player in the league

No, but couldn't have harmed. Some would even stretch to 'sweetener'. Who would we want coming from them this time? Son would be nice... 😉

I think Maitland-Niles is decent, and would be excellent cover for when Ward-Prowse gets injured (for it has to happen, or he is superhuman) or even if we can re-persuade him about being a defender occasionally

Off to see his Danish fwend Bloody Spurs. Hate them so much.

This. I actually think he frees up other players by his threat and pace. Sure, his final ball is not great, and his finishing average, but he's an upgrade on Long - and is a thoroughly good bloke who does seem to genuinely like the club. All of which is in his favour.
