Shane Long and Steven Davis - 2 absolutely awful footballers yet still on the pitch. Awful to watch this - no pace, no cutting edge, no threat, no clue. As good as down

Steven f****** Davis - how the hell does he still get a game?

Dear lord, just got out of a meeting. What sort of bloody line-up is that from the clown? Steven f***** Davis, Long as our lone 'striker' and an ultra defensive lineup. Surely to god he will be fired this evening? But it will be too late....I really don't see how on earth Saints can avoid relegation now.

Very poor window.....not convinced by Carillo who appears to be made of glass and is a clown Pellegrino signing. We need an injection of pace - not having had this since Mane was sold - and the recruitment team have done a very poor job of sourcing players who were realistic targets. The fabled 'black box' appears to have become a case of the Emperors New Clothes. As others have said - right now we are not an attractive proposition for players to consider. A very real possibility of relegation and 4 wins all season will do that.......

Protesting now won't help a bit......everyone needs to get behind the team and act as the 12th man. Protesting and inquests can come later....hopefully when we are safe. Should have stuck with PUel and shipped out the troublemakers. That much is obvious....this season has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. Heads should roll at the end of the campaign whether we stay up or not.

Jeez......where the hell is your backbone? Thank god fans were not such drama queens back in the day when we battled relegation every year. There are worse teams than us and I truly believe we have enough quality that we should be OK (despite our useless manager). And if we do get relegated, so be it. It won;t be the end of the world and there are far more important things in life than footy. Grow a pair and get behind the team....the recriminations can come later!

I can see us getting 15 points max from the remaining games. Will it be enough? Doubtful - but perhaps 15 points is supremely optimistic based on performances so far this season!

Well - I sure hope if does sign that he turns out to be a Lambert type signing and not a Skacel signing!

My bad!

Dear god, while I think Pellegrino has been terrible (although signs of improvement from a very low base in recent weeks) I would not want Hughes within a 100 miles of our club. Absolute c**t who destroyed QPR and did a very, very poor job at Stoke after being heavily backed by the chairman. Would be an absolutely terrible appointment.

Got to say, pretty excited by this kid. See he got a brace at the weekend for the U18s - seems to have a lot of pace and hopefully we'll see more of him over the next couple of years.

Jesus - this VAR thing is an utter load of s***e. Don't know why WBAs goal was disallowed...just play the f***** game, what a joke.

VVD - 75 million? What a joke footy has become. VVD looks terrible - hopefully the curse of LIverpool strikes again

FUnny - all the commentators were purring about Stephens performance and felt he was outstanding. Still this forum knows best eh? By all means slate Pellegrino for most of this season....but not today....he really didn't do anything wrong. It was the final 1/3 we were weak (as it has been since Pelle and Mane were sold) and Gabbi was awful.

Wow...our defending is so bad....awful in fact. At least we are competing....shame we have not done this all season or we would not be in this position. McCarthy looks very dodgy.

Comic book defending again..........

There seems to be a general malaise around the whole club right now....really all season. Don't know what's gone wrong but things do not look good anywhere. Really, really poor from the club

Dunno what has happened to our club but the U23s are as gash our first team. Painful to watch

If our idiot manager has any say in any signings we are absolutely f****d. He couldn't spot a decent player if his life depended on it. He's a real space cadet and if his eye for a player is as bad as his managerial nouse we are screwed.

Is Hesketh injured again?

Or it says more about our manager than our replacements. Davis has been a terrific buy but, like all of us, age has caught up with him. He should be nowhere near a starting place as he consistently gives the ball away as we saw yesterday and is not up to the pace of the Prem any more. Our manager has no idea on tactics, players or how to change a game. It is not Davis' fault he continues to be picked and he is doing his best: just that his best is no longer good enough.

Unbelievable that they did not wake up and smell the coffee weeks ago that this clown will take us down. It has been patently obvious as far back as the Wolves game that he is utterly f****** clueless - I have never seen such a negative, clueless manager: and I include Branfoot, Wigley, Gray and Burley in that list.

ARe you for real? WHo put the team out 2nd half with 11 behind the ball and defend at all costs? There was zero attacking intent 2nd half and at home we all said at HT that they would come out and sit really deep and we would concede. This happens almost every game when we are in front at HT. And you think the manager (clueless buffoon, he sure as hell isn';t a manager) has no part in this? The guy is completely out of his depth and has no tactical nouse or any idea how to change a game.

F******* Pellegrino has cost us 2 points. His utterly negative tactics have seen us go from 2-0 and in full control to having 11 men behind the ball in the 2nd half with ZERO attacking intent. He is an embarrassment to our club and the Board is a f****** embarrassment for not acting earlier and putting this absolute clown out of his misery weeks ago. Disgraceful 2nd half performance and down to the manager with his negative, dire, defensive tactics. We are down with this moron at the helm. Yet again another manager makes changes and our clueless buffoon sits on his hands and finally makes changes with 2 minutes left. PLease, please get this utter moron out of our club

Awful performance and terrible tactics from the clown again. Will take the win but depressingly it will buy him more time when we need to have gotten rid of weeks ago.
