They were deathly silent. Piped up a bit at the start, but throughout they were awful and a lot were sat down. They're just a nothing club, who have no real history and are extremely poor on the pitch. Like others have said it's boot it to Roberts in the hope he'll be able to make something of it and set Le Fondre free. Shaw did fantastically well today as did Yoshi and Fonte. Clyne didn't have an awful lot to do defensively I thought. Good to see we have found a bit of sterness defensively in the last few weeks, thats only 2 goals conceded in 4 games now.

Shaw or Fonte for me. Will go with Fonte as thought he was superb!

Wouldn't be surprised if its a couple of months but fingers crossed its just a little tweak!

It's become fashionable for people to slate Guly it seems. He's never been an incredible player, but he never wanders around and doesn't try. He always tries and he's an erratic player. When Guly had that chance which drew a good save from the keeper, the two guys sat next to me in the Kingsland/Northam corner were shouting stuff like '**** of Guly you useless piece of ****' absolutely no need thought be did well when he came on, and also think he's done pretty well in all the games where he has come on this season. He's really not that bad at all and is a decent alternative to our other players.

Gazza 'injured'.

Gaston on the bench

4-1 Saints

Found myself using a few Adkinsisms last year when I had to write a piece of reflective writing for some uni work. Wrote it then when I read it back I noticed how many things I said that he would! Certainly runs off on you when you watch his interviews every week! Top man

Just watching Blackburn Vs Cardiff....Olsson looks very handy so far. Dann looks dreadful

Pretty sure he'll start. Whether he plays very well or not is a different story and unlikely he'll complete 90 minutes.

One thing that is really ****ing me off is the team talks. You tell your players that they've played well having won away and Liverpool, and they 'seem disinterested' or 'demotivated'. Don't understand that at all!

It's not been removed at all, as it was never there. I get sent each individual tweet by text from @officialsaints. Not sure what you're trying to get out of this!?

Its made up bull****. SC on a windup.

Ha!! LOL!!!!

TV.

No because it's been done on multiple other threads already. Apart from the **** stirring you're doing based on 2nd hand rumours!!

After the thread yesterday as well, I'd say it's pretty likely you're a skate. Lock.

To be fair though, there aren't many teams around us who bought better are there, Carroll is a lump but that's about it on 80k a week, Jarvis is a handy player but I'd rather have Gaston for the same price. Maiga maybe but Mayuka was cheaper. Pogregnybk? Not for me. Mclearly? I saw him play a few times for Forest and he didnt do a lot until his last 6 months there. What's he done for reading so far? Rather than us being wholey ripped off maybe it's just the going rate?! The only player I can really think of is Collins at WHU but I don't think he'd suit us and be worse than Yoshi! Really didn't expect Jos to be that bad in the prem tbf!

He's a completely different player to Lambert though. He's not going to go up for headers bring the ball down, billy defenders off the ball and lay it off to someone. He's a lot more effective playing with his face to goal an running at people. I actually think he's done pretty well in the few games he's played. He's probably finding it quite difficult coming here and not playing every week. New city, different part of the country, he's only 23 isn't he, it's no surprise. Patience needed IMO

The longer they go on without making much of an impact or failing the more they'll cost! It's just people's way of suiting their opinion!

Why is it ? We had a L1/Champ squad last year, we needed to improve the whole squad not just the first 11. We play one up front? So you're saying we should just forget about Lambert because he cost £1m and play J-Rod every week because he cost £6m?! Not at all, we have to decide who gives us more on an individual game basis. J-Rod has huge potential, but at the moment he isn't as effective as Rickie.

But it's absolutely ridiculous comparing him to one player. Yes Demba is a better player than J-Rod, and what ?! Andy Carroll cost £35m, Torres cost £50m, Jordan Rhodes cost £10m and he'd only ever done well in L1. You can compare it with whoever you want to whatever situation you want.

Bit different anyway, transfer fees have rocketed since we were last in the Premiership. Championship sides spend £4/5m on one player these days.

J-Rod I can see why we spent the money. We were clearly courting him for a while and we need some backup/alternative for Rickie. Mayuka is 21 and a bit of a random one. Sure Gazza was about £1m. Ramirez was a lot but he's clearly worth it from what I've seen. Clyne for £2.5m is a steal as he's class. Davis for free/£500k is a pretty good deal whichever way you look at it as we needed someone who has played in the prem before and he's still not that old. Think it could have been better and understand other peoples view that we used money in places that we didnt necessarily need to. If we could have got a few players in cheaper to play up front, and spent more on a CB/LB then I think people would have been saying we couldnt have done much better, but thats just hindsight.

Jarvis and Adam are completely different players. The only reason theyre being compared on here is because he left a relegated team for loads of money in the summer.
