Sheaf Saint

1 defender, 1 DM and 4 attacking players. Better hope we don't suffer any injuries cos that's a bench with one purpose - to take the game to Palace when they start tiring.

So what on Earth was the point of loaning Danso if he can't even make the bench when one of our first choice CBs is injured?

Dunno. But I ain't going to Goa to find out

Fair enough. I had it on a stream but wasn't really watching. I do remember one good moment from him where he used some nice skill to get to the line and cross for long. That was about all I saw.

Yet made no contribution to either of our goals - again.

That wasn't away though.

On the plus side, every team below us except Norwich dropped points today, and they are still clear at the bottom and of no concern to us.

Meh. we were long overdue a bad performance really.

6 mins added on. This would be a great time to reverse our habit of conceding late, late goals and score one ourselves for once.

Should have been disallowed for the handball in the build up. Can't believe the VAR team missed that.

So who the fook was supposed to be marking Jimenez then?

I wish this tater would stop banging on about the ref not making a clear and obvious error. He did FFS. He thought it wasn't a foul, but it clearly was. And now we hit the woodwork for the second time. That's 4 times in the last two games so far.

Now we find out what the lads are made of. Will we push and score a winner or will we crumble?

Got to be a penalty. I'd be fuming if that was the other way round and not given.

It was Stephens who backed out of that. Stuck a foot out to try and clear but tried too hard not to give away a foul and got nothing on it.

Oh poo.

I've been critical of Redmond this season, as I don't think he has really contributed what we know he is capable of. But that bit of skill to get free and cross for Long was exquisite. More of the same please Nathan.

Well this is a novelty. Seeing Saints 2-0 up going into the second half and not feeling it necessary to lump a huge sum on an insurance bet.

He said 'better' players.

Most said the same thing about Leicester.

Or maybe he's just realised that the backup options we have are more adequate than he thought a few weeks ago, and that we can wait until the summer to get a permanent replacement for Cedric.

This is like a training match for Spurs at the moment. Boro can't get near enough the ball to even complete a pass.

I'd like to think we would take it seriously and put out a stronger team than we did against Huddersfield.

2-0 now. Didn't expect anything other than a Spurs win tonight really. Oh well, we've already beaten them once at SMS this season, we can do it again.

I would question your assessment of Digne, cos he hasn't looked that great on the occasions I've watched him, but I agree we should be looking at better than this lad from Fulham. With him on the left and KWP on the right, we would be looking at a significant downgrade on what we currently have.
