A well-considered post. I wonder who wrote it?

There wasn't enough oil to grease enough wheels.

Well said. Your avatar has too much hair for Tonda, btw.

Clarke coming on helped them. Think we might have been in a lot of trouble if he'd started but equally our legs were fresher then. I agree that Stewart didn't get into it and our intensity dropped. Couldn't see how good Peretz's save at the end was from where I was sat but watching it on the highlights it just reinforces how important his presence has been.

Really didn't think much of them at all. Was surprised they're on for automatics. We were much the same as we were against Bristol City but very knackered at the end.

The thing with that is he's being take off (properly) so clearly he's injured. Hope he recovers. Do bear in mind we see quite a lot of rolling around at SMS where people then miraculously recover, and they get a load of shit so (apart from the fact the lad's being carted away) there may be some people who equate a) with b). This is not meant to exonerate anyone from Wolverhampton, btw.

Whoosh, I think we used to say, didn't we?

Crisp packet punch. It's an anti-injury technique.

Is that what he drinks?

Puncheon-style?

The problem is (and you're right he's a bit one-footed from what I could see) is that he doesn't just get to the by-line and cross it, he tends to then cut back, pull it back or do something a bit more intelligent with it so while it's better to show him outside he's good enough to do something with it once he's got a bit of space.

We just weren't up to it. They were organised but nothing special. Much as people have praised Wood, I think he needs to be moved on. He just isn't good enough on the ball and does seem to let the pressure get to him easily. Beautiful drag back and turn by Manning 2nd half. Now if only he could practise using that right foot of his.

Agreed. As a show of solidarity and cameraderie we'll give him to them and provided he plays every game for them I think we could pay his wages. I wonder how they'll feel playing in the Isthmian League?

Under 8s?

Except this year, we're not being very Saintsy.

This run has been easier than the last one. We've got to the semi finals of the FA cup, but only had to face mediocre opposition thus far. (For those for whom early on a Sunday morning might be a bit too early). Edit - it's too early on a Sunday morning.

Agree and disagree. The approach you'd take (there, above) is defeatist and Tonda isn't defeatist. But he will compartmentalise things; best way to do it.

Textbook. 2/10

Disagree. Much better in his play than JWP.

Software was crap. Trying to find a seat even on a computer was terrible cause it zoomed in on a small section and you couldn't easily move around. Then after I chose a seat it was taken, then it tried to make me take two, then I selected one, then it put me somewhere else completely at random.

Downes was excellent yesterday. Played like a real footballer, not a wall.

As in Lucy?

Wrong sponsor.

If you say so. Twice.

Which we'd all take.
