Full-time. we limp on!

We will go down as a club that had it all and GOT EVEN MORE Not STAYING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP for a long time.

We’ll go down as a club that had it all and threw it all away Not getting back to the PL for a long time.

It could be a positive feedback loop. New manager comes in, sees Stephens has started under the last two or three (as captain no less), decides they should work backwards from him. Being a top guy in the dressing room probably contributes to that.

They've scored 2 (two) goals this season, with 1 of them coming from a scrappy 1-0 win against the 22nd-placed side. It's never a dead cert but we should have too much for them even with Wilder back. We need to keep the same 11 as last week though, except with potentially Archer and Jelert starting, so we can start building relationships across the pitch.

Blackburn perhaps? Finished 7th last year and currently sat in 20th on 6 points. Only appointed their manager in February, so a change may be seen as premature. Could be Derby alternatively - appointed Eustace in February and despite escaping relegation haven't kicked on yet this season.

My cousin had a baby girl some time ago. I suggested the name "Lydia" which she was fond of and ended up going with. Little did she know who inspired the name...

Tottenham equalise with Wolves in stoppage time. Collapsing at the last minute, that's a sign that a team is going down. Last year you just knew it was coming, every single week.

Take the point. Looking a lot better but strikers need to be more clinical Worth playing Archer ahead of Stewart?

Don't panic, still time

YESS!!!!

A solid first half of league football! That's a marked improvement. The physicality and energy is there now. Saints just need to be clinical and we can win this. I've been impressed with Wood, Armstrong, Jander and Charles.

Need to take our chances before the tide turns

We don't just buy success we breed it

Don't we know the feeling...

Yeah, it has been some time since we actually put up a fight against Liverpool tbf …

Didn’t watch him last night but I’ve thought for a while he’s one of our better CBs. He came here with little fanfare, in fact the news of his arrival was upstaged by Edwards, but he gets stuck in and shows a bit of grit, which we need.

Didn’t watch the game, and don’t want to scroll through the thread. How was it?

Another one of the lads SR persist with in their refusal to admit their mistakes.

Wouldn't surprise me. But if we can't get out of the Championship the club is worth much, much less than they paid for it. They deserve to take a loss on the sale but will they?

Needs to be fined £1000 for each unattempted header

Not singling you out here but I've seen a number of people say many variants of this. Football is the one thing the players excel at (relative to the general population). They are coming off of a year where they were told every week, they are shit and don't deserve to be at the level many of them have dreamed of being at for their entire careers. For some of them, it will probably be their last time ever being at that level and they know it. It's easy to dismiss the psychological factor but you have never been in that environment.

Just drop him for the rest of the season. Another relic that needs to be forgotten.

It's not going to be a dramatic drubbing, it will just be crap. 3-0 Liverpool. Who can be bothered?

They were utter crap early last season but got away with it again. They remind me of Everton a few years ago, never seem to flush. That being said, the promoted three are actually holding their own collectively this year. All that hot air about the divisional gap getting too wide just seems like a cope now.
