That was as spineless, pathetic display as is imaginable. No reaction from the players to the Leicester game. But still - now is not the time to try out any of our more promising encouraging Academy prospects. Instead start the bloody awful Charles and Brookes. Terrible team, terrible management

And there are the well deserved boos.....

Bree - a League One player. Can't cross for toffee. We're blessed with Bree and Manning as full back options.............

This has been absolutely terrible. No way we win the play-offs - our form and confidence has fallen off a cliff. We're not even creating chances now (that we would invariably miss anyways). If this is Martin's idea of a reaction.......

clear penalty there.....still rubbish from Saints

Edozie really does flatter to deceive

Mara, lol. Striker - I think not

What the heck are those subs about?

Smallbone and Stephens were our two best players first half.

Benny Hill tune playing at HT - seems quite appropriate bearing in mind what a joke that first half (and team selection) were

Just seen the replay for the goal. Terrible defending by THB but went straight through McCarthy's legs - terrible keeping.

This walking football is doing my head in. Earlier in the season while we were playing patient football but we would turn the jets on regularly and look really dangerous. That's not happening now. Despite what the Stephens haters may say, he was our best player that half. Brooks, Edozie, FRaser, Charles, THB, BRee, McCarthy were all awful. Deservedly behind and difficult to see where Saints go from here for the rest of the season - we look bereft of ideas, skill or passion. Smattering of boos well deserved at HT.

OMG, Saints. You are utter garbage. THB at fault there - terrible defending. Still, I'm sure that's Stephen's fault Stoke deservedly in front. Martin clueless and his treatment of the Academy players is disgusting

Well if this is Martin's committed players we are in big trouble......this is as flat a performance as is imaginable. No creativity, no fight, no guile. And Charles is utter s*** - gives the ball away cheaply and is very slow.

Edozie is utter s**t and yet more wasted money from Man City

What a dog***t team that is. How the hell does Brooks get yet another start despite being dire. And Mara as the lone striker - wtf? I've stood by Martin all season but he seems to be losing the plot - particularly as he simply refuses to play any of OUR young players ahead of failed loanees.

🤣Very good CB!

What a s*****w the Prem is. Anthony Taylor with a howler decision. GK drops the ball down, Gakpo comes in to tap it in and Taylor blows his whistle. Then goes over to the keeper who collapses like a sack of spuds to feign injury. ANd at no point prior to the keeper dropping the ball was the whistle blown.

He'd better start giving the youngsters a run out. Otherwise we'll lose young talent (and they won't come in the first place) as the pathway seems completely blocked. We'd rather loan in s**e like Rothwell and Brooks and play them than our home grown talent. Surely Meghoma cannot be as bad as Manning? Dibling, Bragg, SAA and Meghoma all looked very promising earlier in the season and then were just binned in favor of the unreliables.

Yes, beautifully filmed and a very good storyline. Cosmo Jarvis is superb in his role. certainly many times better than watching this s**e

Cobblers.....you said you've seen better football in recent times and then can't say when? It is not one paced football - I would rather watch this than what we have been subjected to in recent years (Selles, Jones, Hassenhuttl, Hughes, Pellegrino, Puel, even Koeman who was pragmatic). Last time we had an exciting, entertaining side was under Adkins/Pochettino.

Like when?

What is with the sense of entitlement from some Saints fans? Calling for Martin's head if we don't go up is utterly ridiculous: we have played some of the most exciting football for years. Yes we have been frustrating at times but much of that is to do with the recruitment - not getting a fit striker in the summer was criminal. Add to that, Che (who blows hot and cold), the pointless signings of CHarles, STewart, Rothwell and Brookes (together with the unmitigated disaster signings of ABK, Suleman, Tall Paul, etc. last season) it's a miracle we have done as well as we have this season. I recall the same complainers whining we would be lucky to finish top half at the start of the season. Sacking the manager every 12 months (or sooner) is not a recipe for success and I really enjoy watching our style pf play. Today was not on Martin but on Che, Brookes and AA who had a shocking time in front of goal.

What were the points of signing these two in January? Both have been very poor and don't fit into the side at all. That miss from Brooks today was one of the worst I have ever seen. And yet SAA has to turn out for the U18s to get a game and Dibling hasn't had any minutes since he started to look very, very good.

Disgusting - what a bunch of bottlers. No way should this team go up - they're pathetic. The genius Wilcox bringing in Rothwell and Brooks (when neither were needed) disrupted the squad. And it's totally disgraceful the young players like SAA and Dibling have barely had a look in despite the players ahead of them underperforming. Edozie and Sulemana are a disgrace to the shirt.
