Available seats or including the corners where we can no longer sit (and which are effectively therefore not seats at all). I suspect we would leap up the table if this were taken on board. And is therefore obviously proof that all is well in the land of the Saint...

Perhaps someone heard we had finally decided to get a defence. No, silly me. I forgot that we are blind to this insignificant nugget of football obviousness. Can't believe we still haven't realised that we're shipping goals for a reason...

I thought he was one of the worst players on the pitch that night. Looked like a 'Dad' playing with his boys. His first touch was abysmal. Second wasn't much better.

flybe going down will be the next hit.

What has happened to Schniederlin? Is he injured? Or sold? Or have we used up his appearances on loan already? Or what?

Svensson playing golf with a dodgy knee? I'd have used a 9-iron.

Sorry, maybe I was a bit strong in my post. However, I do think that if you post stats like these you are effectively saying 'Look, Jan is doing okay! - Just look at our other managers and the points they accrued'. This to me is to paper over some pretty big cracks. In fact, I'm not sure we have a wall at all anymore. We certainly don't in defence. My concern is that if we cling to messages like the one behind the presentation of these stats then we will be simply hastening our descent into League Oneness...Saying like it is might - just might get those in power to do something. Like loan in a defender or two to replace the 'half-full backs' we have.

Chalk is really very similar to cheese. Another one crawls out to repeat the bleats as Saints slide inexorably towards relegation. I remember you consistently saying 'don't worry, it'll be okay, we're playing okay' in our last relegation year. On this sort of bald analysis I suppose you'll say that Hull are going to be in the Champions League? Jeez. By the way, you suggesting others will twist these facts implies that your presenting them in this way, without any details of personnel or, crucially, the leagues they were in, is neutral. It is not.

We're going down unless we get a defence. Simple as that.

Apart from 'pass it, McGoldrick, you goon! Oh...'

I can't think of one area where we were any good. Still, it's okay because it's only one defeat om five etc etc yawn. Same people will come out again that said the same things as we slid inexorably from the Premier. Get the bloody loan cheque book out and don't get yet another ropey midfielder or striker We badly miss Schneiderlin

embarrassingly bad

if only we had a defence. oh and strikers who could score. and, er, a midfield...

Oh look. The first deluded one.

what a heap of junk. Surman's shooting is appalling.

His appearance money must be 25p

Mc Goldrick is cack

we've had 14 attempts, three on target. Boots of lead.

Our full backs are bloody awful.

This is just embarassing, powder-puff, pretty pretty football with no end result and a defence with no height. Oh, and a keeper (yes, I am blaming him) who doesn't come for anything. And i've lost my 2-1 bet. damn.

cov 2 saints 1 we're on sky. they're due a win, and we're due a kd howler.

Agree wholeheartedly. We're back to this thing where certain posters expect that, when a player or indeed the whole team plays well, that those criticising the performance of that player or indeed the whole team beforehand are somehow going to be upset. Get over it. I personally have never rated Davis. I think he's a good shot stopper, but keepers who are called that a lot are usually not very good at everything else. I would say that from the little I have seen of him this season that confidence is aiding those weak areas (coming for crosses, basic communication), and yes, he is playing well. Good. This pleases me. Long may it continue etc. Might be because he is given added authority in such a young team. But this juror is still out on his overall skills - why not just be happy he's playing well? I am.

Let's get the top of the league. Then all the teams we will play will be below us, so we will win the Championship and get promoted. Wasted round here I am.

All decisions are decisive, I think you'll find.

'while i watch a side given 100% for the shirt.' Possibly the worst sentence ever written on this discussion board.
