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!

Yep, I agree.

It may only be anecdotal from my view but its definitely working. These are people with decent jobs and they hate Labour. I just dont get the vitriol towards Labour. Yes, they've messed up a few things but has it been to the extent of the last government? And is Reform really the answer.

I have friends who are seriously considering voting Reform already in the next GE. They'd normally vote Tory but seems to be a case of anyone but Labour if it stops them retaining in government. Its too early yet for myself on who to vote but a lot of people are disillusioned. Reforms social media, presence in the news etc are miles ahead of Labour and the Tories.

Get the players refreshed enough to push through this last game before the internationals. Come on Tonda, show us that you've done your homework on Oxford and figured out how to beat them!

Yes, definitely a good game for him. Very much a hot / cold player. Starting to become more consistent which is great. Hopefully has enough energy for Saturday.

Phew, pushed through there. You can tell the team is shattered with the current run of games but doing well with getting through. That was tough in the second half. Hope Tonda can rouse them again for Saturday before taking a break.

Done well. Hope they keep it up and as others have said, run at their defence as the Norwich defenders should be more cautious being on yellow cards.

Not good, Edozie was targeted last time as well. Hope he shows them up.

Really hope the players are up for this and they dont play like they did against WBA. Need to get fitness and conditioning spot on to get through the last few games. And have the right attitude (as per the Fulham and Coventry).

I wonder if FIFA would do that if a country like Argentina did the shit that Senegal did.

Yep and sometimes good for both parties to get a clean break. Seems like he's doing well and enjoying himself. Before Tonda it was a mess here. And on paper of course most people will have Archer as a back up rather than Ballard who is coming back from injury. In hindsight anything can be perceived good / bad.

Definitely a handful of premier league teams would take a punt. Yes his scoring isn't there in the Champ but can see him improving that over time.

Sometimes?! More like loads of times!

I watch gogglebox time to time as a quick way to preview shows. Saw Mel C on there....damn she's aged well. A few years older than me at 52 but looking good:

In fairness to Juric and Rusk, plenty of the damage was already done. Dont get me wrong they were shit too but a semi competent manager at the beginning of the season would have made a difference in my opinion. Not saying that Saints would have survived relegation by any means but they could at least put up more of a fight.

Again, need to ensure that the players aren't too gassed for Norwich and Oxford. Norwich have got a couple useful strikers, so wondering if playing a similar team from today will help.
