I stand corrected. Still pony to say that the then coalition was immeasurably more competent and less sleazy than Labour. There was plenty of shite in the coalitions first 14 months.

Biggest load of ol' pony I've seen on ere for awhile. Comparing 14 months of Labour to 14 years of Tories and saying Labour are a lot worse.

Ticket confirmations have turned up in my app. Phew.

Is Rento Takoaka a decent prospect? He's still quite young but wonder could he step up?

Yeah man of course I would. He is the new Paul Telfer. Ledge!

Hopefully Saints will extend Bree's contract. No brainer to do so, as I'd imagine he's not so expensive and would be useful in this division again. I'm hoping Charles will sign an extension otherwise he'll be sold in the summer. Edozie, interesting one. His contract ends next year. I still think there is a decent player there and he has been showing glimpses of it since the new year.

It was very telling, that after the 3-0 Leicester game (I think it was this game). A couple of players effectively said this outright in the post match interviews.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c7478jx102yo They're taking the Saints game seriously. How many drop outs for the internationals?!

Interesting read. Do think people are going to take umbrage due to the use of pivots, low blocks and mid blocks though!

Definitely getting the team to tick along. If he's a pragmatic sort, then I'm all for it. Showed his mettle with the wins over Coventry an Norwich and made the Oxford game comfortable. If he can do the same with team against Wrexham and Derby that would be amazing. I will add, I was frustrated after his initial run of games with the terrible form over the Xmas period and thought here we go again and he'snot up to it. However the team is showing consistency. More results against the teams above Saints please! Also can see that the players are getting more comfortable with their roles compared to what was happening under Still.

Yep agree. I had my doubts but he's doing a decent job since being here. Just shows that Saints haven't had a decent big man striker for awhile (Stewart aside and being injured) since Adams who can hold up play etc.

I hope not!

JRod was really becoming a decent player I feel before his injury. He still had a good career but definitely think doing his knee in etc curtailed it a bit.

Shame west ham are losing too. Spurs being relegated would be funny.

Agree with this. Yes, Bazunu was a contributing factor but it was an all round shit from everyone. 5 at the back as well against Oxford and then no-one booting the Oxford player who ran the length of the pitch. Worse was Archer who just jogged with him

Thierry Small, came with high potential. Too much, too young and Saints have been too unstable. Max Alleyne got poached by City early. Looks decent for them.

Well controlled game today. THB switched off completely and could have made the game a little dicier at the end. Edozie looking better with each game. Larin put himself about. Good run and assist from Fellows but the poor fella is never gonna score this season. Win the next two games and Saints will nearly be there.

You've clearly not read above! A couple of us feel that Saints should mentally freak them out AND let them have all the possession and hit them on the break!

Damn, that is good going.

I like your thinking there. Give them the ball and hit them on the attack!

For £5m, I'd do both!

Yes, my friends are very much apathetic on where we are. A lot of people are just run down from all the shit over the last 20 years I guess. From the credit crunch, to austerity, Ukraine, populism and so on. I dont agree with the lets give someone else a try, my feeling is that they'd be a lot worse from what I've seen and heard.

I just did it with membership. Had to go through the loading page and then onto my area for games and tickets and clicked through to Arsenal. The stadium picture looked like it was all unavailable!
