Barton Saint

So so so much better simple really.. Only got a bit nervy the last few minutes with the front subs not doing enough But the referee and the clown in front of the Itchen were shocking!

It wouldn’t be so worrying if we had a team like last time in Division 3 when we had Sir Rickie Jose Fonte baby Adam Alex Guly Richard Lee etc etc and a sensible manager…. But honestly if we get relegated and more leave we will struggle yet again Need a phoenix from the Ashes

Well at least as we know Bree can thump the ball even if he is a bit tardy…

Well today everyone might just as well stayed at home saved a fortune and lots of spent emotion and simply left a neat little package tied up with a bow on Teds statue with 3 points inside

We desperately need to win these 2 home games to get on a roll for the 25th

We owe them one after that jammy last minute winner and the earlier goal

3 games in 7 days Going to be interesting squad rotation

I think they will be a bit concerned about going too hung ho as we have shown we can be very dangerous on the counter attacks. Probably end up 3-3

I think this game will determine if TE can learn quickly from Saturday and not get stuck in the shoot yourself in the foot repetitive mode

Best burst of scoring since that Mane hat trick

I actually felt sorry for DD (Dozy Damion) that Finn didn’t put the ball on a plate for him to make it 3-1 and then we all could have relaxed a bit more in the last 10 minutes

Trouble is he doesn’t have many options available

Fonda clearly liked what he saw from Baz and Jay against Real Madrid

Please please please and in all seriousness play Bazanu up front!

What upset me about last night was that on two occasions in the first half we had 1) a free kick on the left wing in the final third and 2) a throw in on the right wing same area; both times just two touches to get the ball BACK to Bazanu!! So absurd and wasteful. Why not cross the ball into the penalty area? Who coaches them to do that?

We need to gel the team with all our new players properly get stabilised and stronger this season ready for a proper push next year and then be robust enough for the Premier League

Last paragraph absolutely

4-4-2 surely?

After scoring last week and looking like he had his mojo back against the jammy scousers in midweek he should definitely be starting today alongside Archer so we have to keep the ball on the deck and push forward quickly

What about giving George Long a go then instead? Surely can’t do any worse??!! We don’t want another weekend like last week with Saints losing and Hampshire too; if they lose today and us tomorrow clearly the Gods really have it in for us..

Well we need a result tomorrow as Boro are looking very good and will be a real challenge next week

1967 first game I saw in the West Stand against Forest won 2-1 58 years ago as a 9 year old it had me hooked as a Saints fan forever Paine and Davies scored

Utterly ridiculous that he has not been our first choice left sided Centre back after his superb performance last season v City just what we needed a cool calm experienced head. Just watch him lead WBA above us this season

Well normally anchors away and an about turn !

Managed to move ours after 2 hours and 16 minutes started at 97…
