Just out of interest, do FA cup bookings work like in the champions league e.g. 2 in that comp and 1 game suspension or do they work as part of the wider 5 bookings = 1 suspension?

Saints: Davis, James, Thomas, Jaidi, Harding, Antonio, Hammond, Schneiderlin, Lallana, Lambert, Connolly. Subs: Bialkowski, Perry, Holmes, Mills, Wotton, Gobern, Waigo. On the bench according to the OS!

In total he actually has 12 I'm sure? 10 league, 1 league cup (debut to Northampton) and 1 for Brizzle, Also hate to whizz on anyones fireworks but Grant Holt at Norwich also has 12 ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/club_stats/default.stm Not sure why the BBC have miffed up I think perhaps they have some scorers with their league cup goals and others without them :-s

Its change it up time or accept a defeat methinks. Take off wotton stick on Connolly and replace MS with Antonio. Has sounded like "one of them" games where we have all the ball and no end product!

The help for heros idea is good but I still think we should run the poppy shirts again. We actually have a game on the 11th I believe (Charlton?) so what better time?

I don't know whats funnier, the fact they have a transfer embargo or the fact they are trying to sign league 2 rejects to "improve" the quality of their squad. "Lets all lol at pompey, lets all Lol at Pompey la la la la" :-D

Can't help but ask, is that from the horses mouth so to speak or your own view on the situation? I think if he continues to play well up until January someone like Fulham, Everton or a Wigan might stick in a cheeky bid for him.

NOOOOOOOOO!! You know what that would mean in the very next game! lol Bring on the Orient next weekend and hopefully getting ourselves out of the relegation zone then onwards and upwards!

Yessssssss!!! Connolly you lil beauty! Legend in the making me thinks!! 3-1!

I think the main question after the Torquay game for me was, can he actually cross!? Pretty important winger. Seems to be very direct just needs a bit of crossing practice!

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?
