Under Wotte at the end of last season does seem far far further away though doesnt it! Great result hopefully we can kick and win against MK Dons next weekend I think the last time we won 4 in a row in the league was back under Burley! Also really good to see DC get his first goal! up and running potentially another brilliant signing well done AP!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Connolly you little ****ing beauty!! get in there!

Yep heard it clearly on the radio continuously for about 10 mins mid to end of the 2nd half, Sounded great would be amazing if we had (at least) a rendition of this from the home crowd though ... anything the scousers can do ... ;-)

Not sure but shes apparently quite good up front, thats AP's loan signing sorted then!

Obviously listening to the radio isnt as good as seeing it happen but sounded to me that Mills came on and did diddly why oh why can we not just use a quality winger in Holmes. Amazes me how we fall to pieces so easily under pressure from sounding world beaters before the 2nd equaliser to then barely getting a touch! Serious issues with our team at the moment but the manager needs to take a long hard look at his decisions when it comes to subs and tactics!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! Stadium announcer calls it as Waigo according to Solent but Denis Rofe suggests ball already in from Lambert

I wonder if Perry would be a better option as a right back? Could his added experience shore up that side? Opinions?

To be fair to the guy he was one of the few along with Kelvin Davis who actually agreed to defer their wages whilst we were in administration.

Laughably at times in the last 2 years he'd have strolled into our first team!! As for Ali Dia had pace? The bloke behind me at that game claimed he'd seen donkeys pulling carts go along faster than him! As for waigo, the fact he is an international and comes from a well respected team helps his credibility. As you say wait and see but theres certainly players in our first team squad he could do a better job than as a winger or a striker!

Hmm mellis on? Did AP not see how ****e this guys been in all of his apperances so far?! Wheres Pappa Smurf!?! I think we look like were trying to keep a draw when we should be fighting to get ourselves on top so as not to lose!

We kicked towards the Northam 1st half in that game ;-)

To be fair to him having Wayne Thomas shout "hes off! hes off" at him probably didnt help with his decision making in that situation!

As far as I understood it WGS wanted Rosicky before he made his big money move to Germany so was never really any chance we'd get him. Can't say I've ever heard the Kaka story anyone care to enlighten me?!

All well and good but what with our recent history, had he played as he had with us, he'd have been sold to reduce the debt anyway! Plenty of players go on to be better off with other clubs its just the way of the sport I suppose. Be nice to find and keep a "good un" for a little while though!

Feeney (sp?) doesnt seem too bad either, on the loan side of things they are under a transfer embargo does that include loans?

Thank god for that ... He stands at over 6ft 3 Ricky Ricky ... :-D

You'd think they'd have learnt from signing David "Nugget" Nugent for 6million :-p And they wonder how they got up the finanicial ****ter! Still, hopefully Watford will now spend some of the 2million on Rasiak if he really has to leave.

From the chapel end (yes i know!) e.g. the end he was shooting towards he looked MUCH better than patterson and imo has looked better than Pato everytime he has played. He is a higher standard due in part to his experience, he hurried defenders he moved into good positions to pick up the ball and more importantly knew what he wanted to do with it when he did receive it! For my money he and Lambert would be the best strikeforce we currently posses. Get him out there on Tuesday and lets see what they can do with a couple of real wingers getting the ball into them.

Saw that as well as I'm sure the ref did! Saga went to "discuss" this with him and the ref shrugged his shoulders as if to say "dont worry mate!" grrr

I saw him clap ;-)

Fair enough if thats what you think I couldnt see it myself and ive defended wotton plenty of times before. Lets take his set piece defending, when is it a good idea to mark space? or mark a player already being marked and thus get in the other defenders way? Perhaps his shocking sideways/backwards distribution impressed you or the way he is in no poistion at all most of the game, neither able to clear out the midfield or get back to defend in time. In your opinion who was the worst performer? And what mark out of 10 would you suggest wotton would get?

ok for whats its worth having just gotten back from witnessing perhaps THE worst saints display ive seen in the last 10 years heres my ratings, cant understand the reasoning behind a 4-5-1 yet with no real wingers, pace or tackling ability in the centre! Davis -8 Distribution sometimes lets him down still not quite quick enough with an out ball but to be fair to him didnt have a lot on mostly as our idiot outfield players cunningly marked themselves with odd positional play. 2 Super stops, couldnt do alot for the goal. Harding 6- Clearly an excellent defender but his default mode out ball appears to be hit and hope really needs to improve on this Thomas - 3 Dodgey heading crap marking no organisational skills at the back few naff back passes as well almost cost us - shame he didnt chin wotton though :-( Lancashire 3- I really feel for the poor bloke everything he did seemed to go against him poor marking i think it was he who lost his man for the goal but feel free to put me right James 4- No attacking influence not much good in defence either but a couple of saving tackles gets him his 4 Lallana 3- Clearly a skillfull player but FFS stop doing your stupid step over back heely whats it you ALWAYS get tackled, didnt beat his man, doesnt play a wide position AT ALL our left side was crying out for a real winger to beat the right back and get in a cross ... I'm still waiting Wotton 0- If anyone at the game knows of any reason he should get even 1 mark please let me know, all this guy does is mark space, crap passing and shouting at others for his mistakes mean this fella should really never ever ever play for us again. Schniederlin 2 - powder puff sums him up tonight , he may develop into a top player but i dont think it will be with us Melis 3 maybe 4 - Some good touches the man most likely to do something but still clearly expecting to get fouls like you would in the super protected prem Patterson 4- not a winger why he wasnt allowed to play up front i dont know, not a winger again a mistake by pardew to play him there Lambert 5- Continually had to drop back to midfield , to my mind to make up for wotton, near enough zero supply to him tonight I wont bother with the subs, surely a manager of any quality could see we needed changes tonight and they didnt happen until 81 minutes had passed .... quality moment of the night though when the ball came into our end and some kid refused to throw it back until we got a sub lol Pardew 2- Poor tactics and team selection, shocking lack of any subs until it was far too late not ideal! Overall its not the defeat but the manner of it which really hurt, I felt pretty embarrassed for the team and other fans coming out of the ground tonight. If you could see some serious effort then fair play to lose sometimes but really tonight i cant think of ever really thinking we'd get back into the match. Hopefully we will kick on, on Sat! COYRS! Lambert

I totally agree RE: Sky cameras a player only ever known for his decent game against the Man utd reserves in the league cup! No thanks.

Just me or did anyone else mistake SWP for former "hero" BWP seemed about as useless as his brother. At one point when he'd beaten one man and had to simply take the ball with him to get in for a chance on goal he left it behind :-p

Ha thats quality get that going =] as someone else said change lambert for ricky and it sounds even better , even been sad enough to check it scores against the torres song on youtube :-(
