Another Fulham player down =more injury time. 🙄

Onuachu on for AA too late to make an impact. Come on Saints, hold firm.

Ramsdale fills me with more confidence than any other keeper we've had in years. Shame he'll he gone in the summer.

Baby steps. Clean sheet then build on it.

Maybe hoping we get a penalty. Although of course we have to reach their box to get one.

Scrappy suits us.

Too many defenders spoil the broth. Or something. I will never like 3 at the back... but we have been more solid today. *awaits Fulham goal

The obvious move. AA done very little.

Great block lesley

Lallana on for some control here. Maybe TP for AA. Defensively not been terrible today. Maybe because they're not shitting themselves over having to play it out from the back ad infinitum

Wood been good. Need to see more from KWP and Suga.

Reputational almost. Oh it's Downes = booking.

Downes with his usual booking.

Their youngster King has looked decent. Still half hour gone, am taking this scoreline so far. We haven't showed much in attack.

I'll never be able to work out the enigma that is Aribo. Sometimes he looks brilliant and sometimes he looks like he's never played football before. Been decent so far though tbf, I like it when he uses his gangliness to shield the ball.

First time in ages I'm actually going into a game with only a 50 per cent sense of dread compared to the full 100%.

He speaks very well. I do think he's being a little naive about our predicament when he says 'get the points over the next few games' but he's hardly going to say "we're fucked, I'm here for the dosh" so, as you say, he seems like a breath of fresh air right now. Whether he can do anything remotely better than Martin with this squad remains to be seen but that's not exactly a high bar.

And even then we need our leaky defence to suddenly start performing as a unit and stop the individual mistakes. All I'm hoping for is to just see improvement. It won't be enough but improvement would be not hitting Derbyesque levels of shiteness. I'd like to see us drag ourselves off the floor and at least get close... especially if we suddenly find out teams get points deductions and suddenly we're right back into the mixer for safety. False hope would suck but id take it. As it stands at least we know we're down but hypothetically it'd be worse to see others get points deductions and suddenly realise a bit of an improvement could have seen us safe. Clinging to straws a bit there with the points deductions but still, we can dream.

I think I'll be ok. And if he is the second coming, meh, it's not like tattoos hurt right. Right?

My biggest concern is that SR will still see survival as a possibility when IMO we should be starting the rebuild already for the Championship promotion season and a manager that knows that league and can get us out of it (not Russ or Jones though) but it seems they still believe it's doable even though we probably need top ten form for the rest of the season to achieve it. As I say I know nothing of Juric other than what is being said but he can't be worse than Russ.* *famous last words...

I will happily bend over for the saviour. 🍑

I know nothing of him but If he keeps us up I'll get a tattoo of him on my anus.

Sky main menu tonight. Could we BE more prominent.
