Give it to Ron

Some great performances mentioned above - Morgan, Yoshida, Cork but I also thought Steve Davis had his best game for us he was buzzing around everywhere breaking up play passing it to our players always available. Morgan and Davis were tremendous pairing and I was worried it was a mistake moving out Cork so well done Nige.

Goalkeeping errors for me....we would be over 20 points and well on the way to safety by now.

Neither would of coped against John McGrath. Jaidi is such a miss for us he was my type of centre half after years of namby pamby ones we finally got someone who had that zone that you entered at your own risk.

I'll make it four...Roger will have to make another voodoo doll to stick pins in because I didn't say Lambert. Best header of the ball I have ever seen by country mile

Because the keeper made a good save?

Actually to be pedantic it was 3-2 against 10 men as Nzonzi was sent off after Kelvin let in the 2nd.

Having watched both Butland for Team GB and Gazza this season there is not much difference! Butlands kicking is abysmal as well and another rookie keeper is not what we need now.

What if one of them gets injured or sent off...are you happy with Jos or Seaborne?

Saints policy at younger levels is correct breed good, comfortable ball playing and lads with potential. Its done us well so far and without it we would of been in the same state as the Skates.

2 bites in 13 posts so far

Having watched a few academy games lately its still the same - all technically very gifted, good ball players and comfortable but struggle against the London teams that have bigger black , strong and pacey lads.

Really sad news, when I was a lad he used to come up to Shirley Warren Club with Tony Byrne who was dating a girl called Sandra there. I had broken my arm playing footie and they both happily signed my cast and were great blokes. RIP Ken a good full back and a gentleman.

Is that such a bad thing then? Seems to me to be good business....even our u9 have players from all over the regions coming in to play.

+1 Chez good write up totally agree - first 25 minutes were down to stupid tactics and why the sub was left until 79 mins beats me.

All mine wiped out as well shows 1970 ... 0

The formation looked awful at the start and we looked clueless as to who was meant to be doing what. It took us about 25 minutes to get going...although Cork had a decent shot after 19...our first attempt. Ricky cannot play upfront on his own in this league, we do not have anyone that has the mentality or game to run beyond him as different type of midfieders. Poor goal to give away and it was Luke Shaw v Fulham for long periods of the first half. Second half we clicked on but again no cutting edge or overplaying it - thought we were so on top we needed JayRods movement after 60 minutes and left that far too late its OK winning midfield but if you dont have anyone up front whats the point. A point was well deserved but Fulham were there for the taking and with a bit more imagination from Nige I think we could of won this.

Now your second bit I totally agree with ....but then again I don't get the weird obsession with FM either.

But thanks for gracing us with your views this forum would be lost without them

How many Scousers do we have in the team?

So why post on the thread then?? Its not compulsory

FA to take no action against Swansea defender Ashley Williams for incident with Robin van Persie http://bit.ly/W1wfcU #swans #mufc Fergie saying most dangerous thing on a football pitch....must of done a Wenger then and missed Keanes tackle on Haaland then.

I meant it gave Adkins 2 weeks to think about it....had we just gone straight into the next game without time to think of changing the tactics or formation we would of performed far better I am sure. To his credit he did try and change it round but the damage had been done and hard to up the tempo when playing that badly..we just got desperate.

Good post Window....JayRod had a good game against Reading, although should of scored he did well, we all of a sudden change formation and tactic to include Mayuke who hasn't started a game since when? In post match interview he said he scored loads in training....well that's light years away from match day and against 2 decent defenders like O'Shea and Cuellar. JayRod will be a decent player I am sure but is just lacking in confidence...leaving him on the bench after the last decent game is hardly likely to inspire him either. Ramirez was having a nightmare yet was left on he should of been the one taken off. Guly coming on was a good idea as the number of times the ball was played out to a deeper lying forward but we shouldn't of needed to get that far. The 2 weeks rest didn't help us at all and we should of started the same side as finished against Reading.

17th in the Championship of course

That was why it wasn't given...it was him going down like he had been poleaxed that helped Webb decide there was minimal contact. Webb's performance was the best I have seen in years but helped by both sides not able to hit a cows arse with a banjo and string together more than a handful of passes to teammates.
