Saints giving it away far too often. Lucky escape.

Great composure from JWP. Good goal.

Another slight worry for me is that the ref will be itching to give Lavia another yellow card.

This is one of those games where if Saints get an equaliser they ought to be able to go on and win it. We really need a minimum of a point from this.

Close to an equaliser there. JWP unlucky.

Adams is just a spectator.

Saints just not up for this at all. Where's the team from Wednesday gone?

Saints giving away too many free kicks.

Will City change strips at half time?

Well that's quite a pleasant surprise. JWP further forward is working well. The press is good, there's plenty of pace, good goals and Saints deserve this lead. Is it too early to hope?

"6" is left half isn't it? That's what it was in my day.

Saints probably due a bit of luck. Let's see who we get in the 4th round. Hopefully that win might generate a spot of confidence too.

I guess the plan is to concentrate on the league then.

He can't have been watching last night then.

Ralph lost the players and Jones doesn't seem to have found them. A whole year of relegation form. A new manager should have been installed during the summer when it was plain that's what was needed. I don't blame Jones for this shambles although he is clearly out of his depth. Nope, the blame lies at the top. We're doomed to relegation.

I went out and have only just seen the score. What a shambles this club is. Not sure that I can be arsed any more.

At least lets have some gossip on aircraft heading in our direction.

Another day of nothing happening then?

I can only hope that Forest are going to knacker themselves in this game because I'm seeing a team that's much more up for a relegation scrap than Saints.

Anyone really see the slightest prospect of a decent goalscorer signing for Saints this month? It'd need a whole heap of persuasion and cash to avoid being laughed at. Maybe a loan but even then I'm sceptical.

I reckon we might be a decent mid table outfit in the Championship next season. Just so long as we find some way to score goals.

Those of us of a certain age know what the real division names are.

Saints just don't have any sort of goal threat. That is the reason that we'll be in the 2nd division next season.

We stopped trying to win the game ( if we ever did) and the inevitable happened.
