Well I thought this would be tough and that they would park the bus and it's turned out that way. This team have no divine right to win, they have to earn it against every other team in this league. That starts by showing some respect and playing competitive football from the first whistle, it's inexcusable to start playing after 45 minutes. We are lucky that the teams around us are wobbling otherwise we'd be a long way back now. Not good enough.

IMO it may not be as one sided as many think. They will park the bus and then some. If they can hold us long enough frustration will grow and they will look for a lucky break. If we can puncture them early on a big score could be on but we might need to be patient, an 11 man defence is never easy to get around whoever it is.

We gave them far too much respect first half and they really should have taken advantage. Second half was even and could have gone either way. Can't complain with the point. However we need to be more aggressive away from home. We have the talent to beat most in this league but need to start games with the right mentality.

Another tough game but I think we can nick it. I'll go 2-1 to us.

Another tough game, lots of firepower on both sides so QPR will come to play. That is good for us. 3-2 / 3-1 to Saints.

So we draw at home to Bolton and then go and win at West Ham, that's so Saints. It's been a really good October so far, 10 points out of 12 having played Spam and Norwich (a). Another big win against QPR next Sat and this will have been a vintage month.

On paper it's a loss but this is Saints so we'll win 1-0.

Well that was frustrating. There's always a game like this in a season, hopefully this is the first and last one. It would be very Saints to now get a win at West Ham. I don't usually comment on refs but this one must have been blind to miss that handball. Shocking decision.

3 points is a must, don't care if it's pretty just get the job done. Bolton will be another awkward customer but we should have enough in the tank.

Personally I think this was an excellent 3 points at a team that, IMO is in a false position just like they were this time last season and will get much better. They play these teams at home ... QPR in Nov, Wrexham\Wolves\Charlton in Dec, Boro\Swansea in Feb, Millwall\West Ham in March. I hope they wake up ASAP and take a tonne of points off these teams.

Don't care if it's ugly, 3 points and into the playoffs for the first time is all that matters.

One of the tougher games of the season but we may have gotten lucky by playing them whilst they are having a wobble. IMO Norwich will be somewhere between 5th-8th by the end of the season so a draw would be par for the course and a win would be a bonus.

Bragging rights for a few months but (for me) even more importantly it's another 3 points on the board. We needed this to stay in contact with the leading pack. Portsmouth was always going to be awkward - I'm just glad we got it over the line.

If they have overspent by £900M then they pay it back. That means they have a £0 transfer budget for however many years it takes until their FFP transfer budget cumulatively gets to £900M. So for example if their FFP budget is £100M then they would face 9 seasons of a £0 transfer budget. IMO that would be an appropriate punishment and would probably send them down the leagues in slow fashion.

Crazy situation, incredible to think that Aaron Ramsdale is our backup GK. Too good to be our 1st choice let alone backup. I guess at least it keeps Peretz on his toes though.

This is even more motivation to get promoted this season, imagine a championship with City + 2 other parachute payment teams + most of the teams we are already scrapping against this season. What a dog fight that would be.

Poor result, they didn't beat us as much as we beat ourselves. We need to get our heads together for away games, we can't just rely on home form. 3 points against Portsmouth is a must.

Good win, Bristol City are an awkward opponent so glad to get the 3 points. Our form is 14 pts from 7 games, top 2 territory but 3 tricky games coming up. We may get lucky playing a wobbly Wrexham after a Spam spanking. Portsmouth will be awkward for obvious reasons and Norwich (a) will be tough. IMO 6 points would be par for the course from that lot and keep us on track. Squad fitness looks good, GD is 2nd highest in the div and the train is now rolling. We just need to keep it up.

Spam are up and running. I was hoping they'd stumble till October but they are already in the groove. Right now is when the leading pack break away and we need to be amongst them. Need a win today.

IMO there are at least 2 teams in this league capable of 90+ points so I think 2 per game (92 over the season) would put us in the final mix. We need to make SMS a fortress, starting on Saturday.

Good game, good performance and we're top of the table based on our actual results. What's not to like.

A club whose stated ambition is to get top 2 needs to win at places like Lincoln. It's 2 points dropped rather than 1 gained. A buoyant Swansea and Bristol C up next, we need to get moving.

Wow, I was not expecting us to turn over a decent Millwall team quite like that. I think the 26/27 Saints are officially up and running. We need to build on this momentum, start moving like a steam train. Next 4-6 games is where the leading pack break away.

Need a win, think we'll get a draw.

I don't see this as nostalgic, I think in this league it's actually a very good signing. We know he has a good engine on him, stays fit, can ping in a mean cross\free kick and now has a tonne of experience to draw on. IMO he should be a top midfielder in the division.
