obelisk

Poor, poor stuff from Saints. We shouldn't be on the beach yet but it seems we are.

On that evidence it's hard to see Brighton getting any more points at all.

Defence shambolic.

This is dreadful.

Our attempts at passing the ball backwards are almost always ending in a chance for Wolves. Might I suggest we look to play forwards behind their sluggish looking defence? If only players other than Redmond could finish we could have had 4 in the first half.

Back to sitting off them again.

Composure, Sims.

Should have been three. We'll probably need at least that number today.

Had been coming for ages. Saints not set up right.

JWP an absolute liability at the moment.

Some really sloppy passing from Saints.

Comfortable home wins for Saints and Burnley would be nice but I've got a nasty feeling that isn't going to happen. Hope I'm wrong.

Sky coverage verging on Pukesville, Arizona.

Needed to win that given other results. Great second half that should offer encouragement for the run in.

Long and Sims on.

Pretty embarrassing half really. Lucky to still be within sight of Spurs.

Saints will be lucky to keep 11 on the pitch at this rate.

Just a matter of time before Spurs score at the moment.

Another late goal robs us of points.

Offside in the build up.

It was good while it lasted.

Good work from Saints to reach half time 1 up, even though having to play against 12 men. Typical for Old Trafford though.

Nothing in the final third. Build up play so ponderous and when a chance arrives there's no composure.

defensive screw up again

Hmm. Away to Arsenal, then home at jinxed St Mary's against a park the bus team before heading to Old Trafford. I'm not very confident about how the table might look by next weekend. I live more in hope than expectation.
