Shoddy finishing again.

Saints finishing is just woeful.

Not his best position though is it?

Play him as left midfield then.

Saints were so much on top in the 2nd half that should have been a comfortable 3 points. Something that needs addressing is the poor finishing that is certainly costing us at the moment.

Finishing is very poor. Could have had 5 or 6 really.

And nor 'boro score in the last minute.

Some work is needed on sorting out these dire away performances. Losing at Doncaster FFS! And Donny are a team that just can't win at home .. until Saints show up of course. Oh well. Time for the pub.

Reading away is showing as sold out this morning. I thought they were going on general sale today. Have they already all been snapped up then?

I'll be somewhere over the Med at that time now. So much for my plans of relaxing in a Cretan taverna while watching Saints bag another 3 points.

I haven't managed to get to one game at all this season I'm sorry to say. Too many other things going on. Given the turn of events I could take it personally and make myself officially a bad omen. It was my plan to attend many more games next season but maybe if I stay away another promotion can be guaranteed.

Same old story aint it? Plenty of time yet. Saints can't be expected to make things too comfortable for us.

My pessimism was completely misplaced. My lack of faith totally uncalled for. My diminishing confidence in the players and manager absolutely out of order. Apologies for my misplaced misery. Congratulations to everyone involved. My spirits are rekindled and am now looking forward with expectation and hope while digesting some humble pie.

All rather predictable I'm afraid as yet another chance goes begging. I was hoping that my pessimism was unfounded but sadly it would appear to be well founded. Performances have been shoddy for a while and anyone that thinks promotion is on the cards had better be ready for serious disappointment.

Deja vu. Away game, loads of possession, chances being missed, Saints 0.

Well that'll be that then.

Saints finishing is bloody woeful a lot of the time.

Brighton show how to do it.

My pessimism is growing.

Yep, poor finishing again by the look of it.

It's this sort of performance that shows me why it simply is not an option to miss out on automatic promotion. It'd be a problem even reaching the play-off final. Anything other than 3 points on Saturday will have the jelly wobbling again I fear.

So inconsistent. Best prep forare the play offs at best then.

Ref never gave us a thing. Premiership ref for a Premiership team. Well played Saints.

One deflected goal at home so far this season. I'll go for an own goal.

Clean sheet at least eh?
