It's There

Very impressive starts and showing what a good buy he is. Only 2 games in and he is showing class!

A bad run has to end sometime, and a good one start. Let's pray its a great, unexpected result in Sunday to lift the gloom! COYR

Personally excited. I have a feeling Walcott will score today. Team needed shaking up a bit-Tino a good call with KWP, I suspect, carrying a small knock.

Key, as we know, is a striker who can score plus some good luck re injuries. Without a decent striker- relegation (20th). With someone 10-15 goals- 13th

Having another attempt...about 10 years later. JWP is my captain, expecting him to stay!

Like others, a thank you. Clear analysis that helps everyone to see why we struggled and which areas on the pitch.

Make changes. Bring on Walcott and tella. Go three at back!

We play good football between boxes. But are poor at the back and just need to be more clinical. I don't think the players believe that they can score enough once they concede.

We can attack, but scoring is an issue. This puts even more pressure on the defence!!

Still time!

In United game they drew the lines. More bias

Totally agree. I don't get the bashing. He was quality and should always be respected for what he did with us. I wish him well, for the next phase in his career.

So what was said? Any nuggets of hope?

Another great read. Thanks

More shots in 4 minutes than the semi already!

Very Frustrtated, but players, as well as Ralph need to look at their peformances. Injuries are no longer an excuse.

Setting off from different parts of the country. My son and I from Leominster- my brother and family from Southampton. Arrived at the same car park at the same time- amazing ! JTP Cup Final- 4:0 with 50,000 Saints fans. Come on Saints- win today please!

One game at a time,gentlemen. I am fully expecting us to win. Why panic?

As an ever optimistic...we can win this! COYR

Great listen.Martin Semmens speaks so much common sense!

Nothing to be afraid of in this league!

The bigger picture is that we should obviously go for a win. We would be 4 points behind the leaders... and miles ahead of the relegation line we have so often feared in the past! We have the best Saints team in ages and, even with a few injuries, have a positive mindset! Remember City earlier in the year when Che scored- good job we didn't throw that match!

Personally I really rate Bertrand. He works his socks off and got into some great attacking positions in the last match. When he advances into the opposition penalty area, he's bound to be leaving gaps. That's the trade off re being adventurous. My impression is he loves the direction that Saints are taking with Ralph, and wants to be a part of it for several more seasons. When Redmond is on form, the duo are very consistent and dangerous. Unfortunately, he gets more exposed when Redmond is off form. Finding an experienced quality left back isn't easy. Ryan is bright and will be an asset to the club long after his career finishes I suspect/guess.

I was reflecting how much of a threat our TEAM is to the opposition. Danny and Che get the headlines, but the opposition know that Walcott,Redmond, Armstrong and Djenepo are also more than capable and are forward looking. Add in deadly JWP and a more adventurous Rom, and that threat is amplified. Then we have Vest and Bed who are also a threat. It's not often Saints have had such a large number of goalscorers! Indeed, it's probably only our keeper who will not score this season.

Great news
