Also the game where Barry Ferguson was booked twice and not sent off by Andy D’Urso.

Embarrassing, we’ll probably offer him a new contract.

Anyone that thinks Scienza is going to get poached for something like 50-60 million is absolutely crackers, he’s a brilliant player but he’s a 27 year old with three goals this season, he’s brilliant for us but so far he’s a very good championship player, nothing more, yet, and that’s fine.

He’s shite, another awful goalkeeping signing, over £20m on him and Gunn within a few years.

Also when a team celebrates a goal, refs just let them stroll back and take as long as they like. Obviously we’ve seen a fair bit of this by opposition teams at St Mary’s in the last year or so.

Manning does my head in, he’s been absolutely awful defensively all season, arguably since he signed. It’s getting masked to fans this season because he’s chipped in with a few goals.

Unfortunately, playing well for Bazunu is just making saves any goalkeeper should be making. Him being stuck to his line just puts us under so much pressure.

Just having shots doesn’t mean clear cut chances. But I can see you have your heart set on thinking we were brilliant today.

Rushworth in the second half showed what a difference it is to have a commanding keeper. He’s one of the best in the league, took time out of the game, commanded his box and made decent saves. Then there’s us with Bazunu and McCarthy.

How many clear cut chances did we create? Our goal came from a cross to a centre back after a set piece, we barely opened up Coventry at all.

We never seem to do the business against ten men, whereas we absolutely crumble after a red card. When you have the extra player you need to make the pitch bigger, move it wide and quickly. We don’t do that.

Proper rabid lot in the Itchen centre, like Galatasaray

Was Lampard getting much stick from the saints fans? I’m in block 42 and probably heard 1, maybe 2 chants at him, hardly warranted that weird reaction.

Would be very us to beat this lot this weekend then go and get beat at Oxford.

Next year is our last with parachute payments
