I think Patches nailed that one, JWP is now playing in a functioning, high performing team, the last few years before he left he was playing for a team in terminal decline.

There will be decent highlights on YouTube

What happened with their fans?

I can’t see anyone shifting JWP now, it will be him plus whoever.

Do shut up.

Very well, the bigger issue was KWP getting forward too easily.

He looked OK at Norwich, hopefully he won’t be expected to be a direct replacement for Larin. Maybe one of a pair with Azaz?

I loved that game, one of my first aways, good fun afterwards with police Alsatians hanging off coats and horses charging us for no apparent reason. Wild times. Channon scored the winner if I remember correctly.

We created some chances, the ref didn’t help, but we weren’t rampant like Boro are and Bolton had their chances also.

How did we make Bolton look so good? We paid them too much respect.

Apology accepted.

Except when it was 4 4 2

It wasn’t really a normal formation, you said it yourself, Scienza played as a second striker initially, played on the wrong side when out wide, Fellows and Scienza were on the same side at times. As you said Azaz started wide. It was all a bit of a mess.

From the Echo. I hadn’t realised it was that serious. SAINTS midfielder Flynn Downes is a major doubt for next Saturday's trip to West Ham, but Tonda Eckert has not ruled him out entirely. The 27 year old suffered ankle ligament damage during Wednesday's 1-0 Championship victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road. Downes was forced off in the 22nd minute after rolling his ankle, and he missed the subsequent 0-0 draw with Bolton at St Mary's. Downes had initially told Eckert to strap up his ankle so he could play the match, but he was ruled out and spotted at the ground in a protective boot. However, Eckert remains hopeful he could return against his former club, despite admitting the target return date is "possible but ambitious".

Jwp and Flynn. But I’d like to see Jander back in the side.

Good point, we are assuming they will be at their best, but they are a bit flaky.

On the plus side we will have had a weeks rest. On the downside, we haven’t looked convincing in our last three games, Tonda is tinkering too much and we are starting to pick up a few key injuries. We need Flynn back and Cyle fit and firing.

Downes was a massive miss, missing his tackling in the middle was one of the reasons we couldn’t break the lines effectively.

I feel Tonda has a tendency to overthink and over complicate. It tends to get overlooked/ forgiven when things go our way. But today it didn’t, and I think we gave the opposition a bit too much respect. Two points dropped.

It’s a typical saintsweb / social meeja lynch mob mentality, quite scary really how easily people jump on a bandwagon of hatred.

That’s how I “read” the situation 😉

A lot of people won’t have a clue what you are referring too. One of the most exciting goals I’ve ever seen, the cup atmosphere and excitement was something else back in the day.

It wasn’t so much a judgement on him, I don’t know him from a bar of soap. It’s more a comment on it being a results business and being a being a bit confused by the clubs strategy.

Newcastle are terrible. Their new manager isn’t working out so far.

I really like the bloke. Going home with Adam and Joe is a “must listen” for me.
