Adam Blackmore trying to take encouragement on Solent. Not sure what cloud he's on today but Saints easily beaten. The sooner the trap door closes on this relegation the better. No way are Saints going to win 4 games.

Looks like Tall Paul gets to keep the bench warm again then.

4-1. Deflated again.

Penalty to City

Mara !!

They're toying with us now. 3-0.

City using their wide men to pass Saints to death now.

Good run by KWP but forgot to shoot.

Looks well onside.

2-0

Saints arrive in the City penalty area seemingly without any confidence that they might score. Attack fizzles out.

Saints suffering from the lack of a goal scorer. The story of the season.

And there it is. Just before half time as usual.

Another dangerous ball across the six yard box but nobody busting a gut to get there.

Approaching half time. Dangerous time for Saints.

JWP marking Haarland at the back post. Nearly 0-1.

City letting Saints play themselves into trouble at the back.

Still 0-0 at 20 minutes and I can almost feel the hope building.

Another brain fart in the final third. So Saints.

City cut through Saints press with ease. Good save Baz.

If Saints can keep them at bay for more than the first 20 minutes I'll be gobsmacked.

Our most dangerous attacker, Perraud, rewarded by being dropped to the bench.

Must admit the idea that Saints could actually take any of their relegation rivals down with them had me sniggering. Instead Saints are doing their best to keep those other teams up by handing them easy wins.

They'll take it out on Saints.

I might put Theo in ahead of Orsic but that would at least make it interesting.
