die Mannyschaft

98th for Cardiff , should be another two teams with wasted 2 points.

Saints 3-2 Stoke. Don't think either team has a strong defence and should have enough up front to score more. A positive is Derby got 69 points in 8th last season scored 67 let in 59 so if we dont get the right mix of players in position and excell in howlers in next 6 gsmes it should still be quite easy to make 8th. Derby was almost 10 wins off top!

Agree the social media stuff is embarrassing. OK take some team shots and match footage but keep it at that. The comments on FB plus the Echo the same is full of Boro fans and other clubs now just going on about cheating. Need to concentrate on football

Cant understand why Saints have a blue shirt, why go on a pitch looking like Skates

We won't get top 2, so good job down to 8th. Our defenders are not top 2 level and the fact we won or draw loads to get to top 6 just masked the problem. We conceded to many goals from mistakes. Oh well Stoke next another on paper win.

I think its also a confidence thing, sounds like no Saints players wants to make a mistake so no one taking the lead or taking charge of situations. Every team is going to want to beat Saints and will play 100% and that's another issue Saints need to deal with as tackles and effort will be non stop. We are the team clubs now hate and want to win againts

These basics are not coached, I see it all the time in my sons leaque. Especially number 1.

Your right I was there, is this 1st half as bad as Leicester? Not score wise just completely disorganised and run ragged. Commentry kept saying Saints players not matc fit, how's that possible after pre season, are we just not interested in anything with a burst of pace.

Someone watching the game give me an honest assessment, are Saints allover the place, have we got any chance of getting this game back in second half? The radio commentary is scathing of Saints, daudling around perhaps expected to win! Turned radio off now.

He's trying to hit it back in our end not out for throw or anywhere else.

Another person influenced by spygate and doesn't want Saints winning.

Saints obsession with trying to pass when a hoof is the best option.

Odds if anyone interested.

If BBD is not in the squad he won't get loaned out as teams will think he's not fit or skilled enough to make the team. Maybe Watford can loan him after today.

Good attacking starting line up, with strong bench.

I really cant remember what formation we had for winning games but if that's the case then 1 up front it is. Lets hope a big Watford win to get Tonda's wheels moving.

I'll go 4-5 only because we dont get off to good starts. I would rather we play two upfront not one alone which is not affective when crosses come in. But Im happy to see a 1 nil win tomorrow. Anyone see Skates game, we're they any good? As thier lot think they have a much better team this season.

QPR have got in a few decent players. Its another team that will make championship much harder than last season

Not good. He needs to be 💩

I would have thought so. Did Charles get a Premier League and champions leaque winners medal for the 1 game he came on for City?

Good player will do well at Fulham, scored some memorable goals but now Saints need to get a striker and attacking midfielder. £30m minus £10m for that financial balancing mentioned in forum leaves £20m either on one exprienced player or 2 well scouted players.

Off to the gym now as fully expect Saints to dominate latter part of 2nd half Saints 3-1.

Hope he's not on the pitch 2nd half to be one to take pens!!

I wouldn't play BBD we havd already seen he cant play football at a decent level but looks OK at another club on loan, why not just loan him out.
