So-called "senior" players want RM back do they? Presumably because they rather enjoyed being in his cabal of mates and swanning around with a lack of fitness. It'd be a recipe for a split right across the club - players, fans and owners - if Martin were to return. Just imagine the reaction to the first goal conceded after giving the ball away after fannying around at the back endlessly. Maybe it's the "senior" players who are the real problem.

A case of Peter Principle? No celebrations from me. Decent bloke put in a position that is currently beyond him. Suspect he'll do ok in the long run but this was a case of wrong place, wrong time. Now the trouble is those doing the hiring of yet another manager are the same clowns who've failed serially already. That's worrying. And as for the players, just hope they're having a good long look at themselves.

Another exciting relegation 6 pointer next weekend then. Can hardly wait.

That was dreadful. Still can't survive this shambles.

0-2. Easy as you like for Preston.

Hardly peppering their goal here are we? Only 4 minutes added.

Ball across the six yard box but nobody takes a chance to put it in the net.

Good save. Can't do much about that.

Saints defence fast asleep for that fk.

Scienza must despair at the incompetence around him. On a plate but Arma fluffs it.

Saints looked interested for a couple of minutes at the start of the half. PNE have taken control again now though.

Me neither. An indifferent silence is as much as they deserve.

At least half of Saints team hardly ever seem to want to venture over halfway. We're not applying any pressure on the PNE defence at all whereas they are comfortably pressing Saints. Can't see where a Saints goal is going to come from. Shockingly poor.

Opposition teams learn quickly that all they have to do is press Saints high up the pitch where defenders like to fanny around for too long. Too easy to beat Saints.

Cross comes in too easily. Shambolic defending. 0-1.

PNE cut through Saints midfield and have an overload of attackers. Luckily it's screwed up by them.

Another free kick gives them a chance to lump it into the box.

Giving away Free kicks in our own half invites trouble.

Ref's weak. Allowing PNE to kick lumps out of Saints.

Absolute shower!

Looks like the plan is to try and scrape a 0-0.

If that's a red card then games would finish 5 a side.

Eight minutes for Saints to pass it around at the back.

Defence just stood off him. 2-1 and Still's toast.

Blackburn all over us.
