Austin goes close!!!

Austin on, gabbi off.... #facepalm

Take JWP off and revert to back 4, surely?

What the **** was Hoedt doing there with that attempted clearance. Went backwards and 20 feet up in the air.

Maybe something to do with him playing a bit like a "footballing god" in his first few games per chance?

Just watched the replay of the goal. Suffice to say most other keepers in this league would have got to that IMO

Yep...

And there it is... The inevitable last second goal...

We're playing 11 behind the ball and that's not working...

Since when did we become incapable of clearing the ball at the first, second or third attempt?

Anyone else feel a 'just before half time' goal from Chelsea in their waters?

I think you may be outnumbered by the Bertie appreciation society Edit: you changed it you sneaky bugger

Last ditch block from Bertrand. Saved a certain goal

We're defending well but this has got a whiff of the Arsenal game about it.... Except without our early goal...

Silva out!

He wasn't in the close up shot of our bench just now. Wasn't sat next to Pellegrino, that's for sure

Great save Forster!

How many times do we lose possession when trying to play the ball out of the back in tight little triangles? I've lost count

Or have we reverted to a back four?

JWP to right back one assumes?

Cedric coming off

Or.... (puts on cynical hat).... it *could* have been for disciplinary reasons but Pellegrino doesn't want to disclose that for whatever reason.....

One would hope so. 167 left now. Will probably be down to double figures before it gets opened up to members on Monday. We'd easily sell the additional allocation (c.2k ?) IMO

I couldn't make the game yesterday due to seeing Jon Richardson's stand up show at Glive in Guildford which, given the result, was a blessing in disguise! At least Saints got a mention by Jon Richardson during his show.... he read out a tweet from another Saints fan who was also there instead of the game! Anyhow.... so what the f*** happened last night? How can a team that holds its own against Man City and Arsenal - where we were so close to coming away with 4 points from - then capitulate against a fellow mid-table side? Having recently swung between both the "Pelegrino must go" and "Give him more time" camps, I've now no idea what the best way forward is. Somewhat perversly, I'm thinking it might work in our favour that we've got Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs coming up in our next 4 games, as I feel more confident getting a result and/or good performance out of those games than if we had more mediocre opponents lined up. There again, a couple of good results vs either of those 3 'top 6' sides might only serve to defer the inevitable. Good job football is only a game otherwise I might be inclined to become slightly depressed by the whole thing
