Oh no. Sunk is in the crowd. That's it, we're down.

I'm sure Saints will get a grip on the game in a minute or two.

Back from anaesthetics at the pub. Tall Paul hat-trick today. 🤪

I suspect we'll be seeing a number of players feeling a tight this or that muscle over the next couple of weeks and relegating themselves to the stands where their agent can more easily find them.

St Mary's isn't built in the style that creates atmosphere. It's a bland off-the-shelf stadium created by a committee who've never been to a football match. Oppositions were regularly intimidated at the Dell but that's now three relegations at St Mary's inside two decades. I'd have had a 2nd tier at the Gasworks End and chucked the away fans up there as a starting point.

JWP's best performances this season seemed to be when he was played further forward by Jones. I'd expect other coaches will have noticed that even if Selles didn't.

Ironically that was one of Saints better performances lately. Another game where they score 3 goals and fail to come away with 3 points though. Now that relegation is nailed on I fully expect to see them go unbeaten for the remaining games.

Forest had 4 shots on target. They all went in. Very Saints-like.

Three goals away from home again. Still no sign of 3 points though.

Penalty Saints. JWP to miss again?

Doesn't matter anyway. Saints beaten by a team who want it more.

On to the next must win game on Saturday then folks.

JWP plays a ball forward. It falls short. Forest go on the attack.

Forest look likely to score every time they venture forward.

Too late Selles. Far, far too late.

Selles looking around for a defender to bring on.

What did I say?

Next goal more likely to be from a Forest break. Saints need more fire power. It's shit or bust time.

Adams misses. Get the big man on.

AMN is dreadful. Can't even cross the bloody thing.

Saints looking dangerous with crosses into the box. If only we had a target man we could put on.

Lyanco hat-trick coming up.

Attacking free kick and JWP puts it in the box. Adams misses.

Forest know they can just give possession to Saints and let them fanny around with it. All they have to do is wait for the chance to break quickly and they'll get a shot at goal. It's like virtually every game at St Mary's.

Just get the big guy on and lump it into the box. The slow build up and fannying around doesn't work. JWP needs to be told that the laws don't forbid him from passing it forward.
