Ings -utter garbage again. Boy oh boy does Ralph have a job on his hands in the summer. Quite simply - most of this squad are not good enough. Everyone seems to think Bertrand is way better than Targett - I think Targett offers far more than Bertrand.

Ings is utter s***e...who on earth thought it a good idea to buy him? This performance also shows why drastic surgery is needed to the squad in the summer - just not good enough. OUr striking options are pathetic.

Blimey - was that really 20 years ago? Unbelieveable! I remember walking down the streets around Selhurst and the whole area was taken over by Saints fans. I could barely speak for about a week after and, aside from the MLT Norwich 5-4 away day, remains one of my fondest memories seeing Saints. I had completely forgotten about the Kachoul fez's though!

RIP Toomer - very sad news indeed

Congrats - no mean feat in its own right. A marathon is no joke

Not surprised - any of the 3 elements in isolation is a real endurance feat. 1 after the other is crazy....let alone doing 7 in a row

Of course Ralph will be here next season. He's done a great job but is still learning in the Prem and his planning has already started. I'm sure if he progresses like he looks like he will, in 1-2 years bigger clubs will be in for him, but not yet.

Bloody Armstrong - utter pr***.

What are the forum t***s going to say now: Prowsey and Targett scoring. How are you going to slag them off now?

whinge, moan, whine. Usual whipping boys getting grief but the utterly sh*** footballer that is INgs is not mentioned. 20 million for that garbage - 40 million on Carillo and Ings, incredible

Sheer class - cannot believe Joe Dolce with 'Shadduppa your face' kept that classic from #1. Loved Ultravox and remember Billy Currie creating a fracas in the pool at the old Polygon hotel. Great times

In a word no! He has been terrible this year and is like a statue. His time is done.

What an utter f**** t***. Firmly in the relegation battle my arse. 1 more win will be enough and if we can't beat Huddersfield and Bournemouth at home we deserve to be relegated.

Yeah - and look at their stats. 1-2 shots a game - deadly dull no doubt and Pellegrino happy with a 0-0. He really was an awful, awful manager.

Agree - I will never forget the debacle at Reading. Utterly awful manager and terrible human being

He's a bitter, twisted c***. He's hated us ever since he got the move he was angling for. Utter t^^t.

Relax - think we are as safe as houses. I fully expect us to finish much higher up than we are now. If we strengthen in attack (which we have failed to do the last 2 years since Pelle left) I reckon we will be challenging for 'best of the rest' next season. RH has made a massive difference and I think 2 or 3 players is all we need in the summer and try to shift a lot of the deadweight (even if we subsidise wages).

Feel for Cardiff - some of the worst officiating imaginable. Not fussed about us - we'll be just fine and reckon we could even sneak 12th the way we are playing. But that could be the nail in Cardiff's coffin: and they did not deserve that. Simply awful

Draw would have been fair. Really unlucky to lose and 2 stonewall penalties not given. Proud of the side today - especially as we have no strikers at the club. JWP fully deserves an England call up and Valery's goal was sensational.

WTF is the point of that comment you pathetic little t**t?

Can't agree with this.... Valery looks a gem, Targett is improving the more games he gets, JWP is a solid player, Obafemi looked good in flashes, Stephens has been good until the last 2-3 games, Slattery looks like he could be a very good player. Put it this way - they are better than most of our seasoned pros. Whether that speaks volumes about our terrible recruitment the last 2 years is another story...........

You really are a t**t of the highest order. Go and support some other team - you obviously don't like Saints. Bertrand was absolutely terrible against Cardiff and Targett was very unlucky to be dropped. NO-one rates Shane Long - we play with 10 men when he is on the pitch. Stephens has done OK - our one player comfortable on the ball. Yes an awful error against Cardiff but then PEH failed 9 times out of 10 to pass to his own team mate who was only 5-10 yards from him. But PEH gets a free pass from many on here as he runs around a lot and shows some passion - very little skill but plenty of passion.

Which is why Targett should have started.....match fit, in form. Bertrand was the same Bertrand before his injury....people are remembering him from 2 years ago not the Bertrand of the last 18 months. RH got it completely wrong yesterday.

100% spot on. I was screaming for someone to take a shot (Hojberg was horrible in this regard) but sideways, sideways, then out to the wings. Personally I thought Bertrand was awful today - and Targett has every right to feel aggrieved being dropped for him. Then again, most of the side were awful as they have been for the last 3 + games. New manager bounce has come and gone. When SHane Long is starting you know we have real issues - it's come to something when I am hoping Obafemi will be fit to start the next game. Long should never pull on a Saints shirt again. He was worse than useless. If I were to give ratings they would be: McCarthy - 5 hardly inspiring confidence and his distribution is abysmal Valery - 7 the one shining light today Stephens - 6 gave the ball away terribly for their winner but they still should never have been able to do anything. One of our better players today Vestergaard - 6 thought he did OK but why can he not jump for headers. At fault with Hojberg for their first Bednarek - 6 not much to do Bertrand - 5 thought he was terrible. Slow, not getting forward enough and too much checking back Romeu - 5 terrible game for him. Struggled with the basics Hojberg - 4 fan favorite but absolutely dire today. An international who cannot do the basics like trapping a ball or passing is a concern! JWP - 5 too often having to come back to collect the ball as we had no attacking guile or instincts Redmond - 5 looked bright at times but then at other times simply ran into dead ends/fell over LOng -2 should never pull on a Saints shirt again. Stealing a living and an absolute embarrasment Subs Elyounoussi - 3 what is the point of this guy? So slow in thought and movement, absolute joke of a buy Austin - 4 did not do anything but should have scored Gallagher - 4 not in the game at all RH - 3 Tactics completely wrong and team selection wrong. Why 5 at the back with 2 DMs against Cardiff? Subs were poor and this was a disastrous result Whether we stay up or go down, there has to be a mass clear out in the summer. The youngsters look far more composed and better than the senior players which is a disgrace.

I have changed my mind - we are going down. Absolutely pathetic performance - gutless, talentless, pathetic. SHane Long should never be in a Saints side ever again. The guy is an absolute joke. PEH has been abysmal, we have offered no threat wahtsoever. Utterly pathetic
