I know it's a bit of an odd suggestion but might it be a good idea to at least have a shot on goal occasionally?

Even Sky Sports taking the **** out of Saints now.

Long is never going to be the towering centre forward that cross required.

Just got in. Saints nil again. Not sure why i bother. Got a bad feeling about this season.

Virtually all wickets to lbw. Did they take their bats?

Another goalless effort at home then. Better performance that deserved at least a point but the inability to score is really hurting us.

Can't fault the effort by Saints but we're hardly peppering their goal with shots.

What a miss! From 3 yards.

It's hard enough against Man Utd without passing the ball directly to them in midfield.

Long is now completely isolated.

Free header inside goal area.

Sometimes a clearance down the pitch is what is required. No fannying around.

Saints looking very comfortable and well in control but rather strangely Palace look more dangerous on the few occasions that they threaten the Saints goal. There could be more goals for Saints but build up is slow.

Black has nothing in his past to recommend him. His time at Villa would tell any prospective employer to steer clear. Wasn't the only reason he turned up at Saints was because he spoke French? The players don't look fit enough to me and that's down to the coaching staff.

Just get rid of Black as a start. He's dragged too many teams down.

The coaching team hasn't changed. Complacency has set in. Time for some boots to feel some arses.

I couldn't be arsed to watch today. I'm drifting away from the relentless negative poor displays where nothing ever changes. Actually it has changed - for the worse. Anyone care to remind me how many goals scored at St Mary's in 2017? There's your problem. Confidence is shot. I really hardly care any more.

The coaching team hasn't changed from last season though has it? Just a chance that the problem could lie there.

Could and maybe should have won that at the end when 'uddersfield ran out of puff.

Saints not exactly clinical with their chances. Again.

Saints getting caught on the ball far too much.

Fannying around at the back there.

Huddersfield running out of steam a bit? Or is it wishful thinking?

Well at least we managed to grab 0-0 at half time. Huddersfield using a lot of energy in closing Saints down. If we can find a bit more composure 2nd half then the 3 points could well be available. Bad miss by Redmond where a goal could have settled things a bit.

What the hell, FF!!
