The cheap option is to keep the total goon that we already have. God forbid, but I wouldn’t rule it out...

I’m going to stick my neck out, 1-1 !!

The thread was about renewing season tickets, not suddenly giving up on supporting Saints. As I customer after last seasons dire home form, I decided not to renew last year. This season has changed by thought process. See, I’ve looked, watched, and decided not spend £700+ . I didn’t renew because I decided not to. As opposed to renewing anyway because I always have. I still support saints, still go the Saint Marys and watch them, whereas with a season ticket I used lots of holiday up taking shifts off work to do so. This season, I just go when I’m off. I bought membership instead. See - still a supporter, NOT a season ticket holder. Nor have I decided to support Liverpool, or Chelsea etc.

Like an old person who always votes labour or conservative. No reason, just because I always have...

Unadventurous, dull, boring, conservative. The Dacia Sandero of football coaches. We get the ball looking to break, then I see 5 players ambling forward, not looking to support. We never 'go' for it, it's always slow, ponderous, predictable. With our slow, predictable players. Poor coach, poor recruitment, poor direction.

First half good going forward, had a go, let in a terrible goal and a well worked goal. Second half terrible going forward kept a clean sheet. Lose 2-0. Wtf? Christ, play for the 2-0 defeat!! Genius thinking.

I use the EE netwok on 4g. Signal is good and strong, always updates the BBC footy scores quickly - apart from at half time when 5000 people try to use it simultaneously!!

I think you may have got Saintsweb muddled up with your quantum physics website...

Great to see us taking the cup seriously. Let's win this and carry a winning momentum on into the Brighton game. Come on Saints let's do this

Let's not judge him on his first few games either. I remember when Pelle played his first games and he looked absolutely awful, completely out of his depth, as though we'd accidentally signed a Sunday league player. But he came good, and I'm sure this guy will need time to adjust to the rigours of a different league, not to mention a whole new bunch of players... Patience required, although for reasons not of Carillo's doing, we don't have much time for him to come good. Tough gig for the lad, fingers crossed for him.

Thought we played well today. Looked much better with our forward play - quicker getting the ball forward which helps massively. We were very shaky at the back, especially first 25 minutes. Both Hoedt and Stephens were caught out of position several times, and every corner we faced was a heart in mouth moment. Stephens positional play and heading ability is very poor, and I don’t understand how game after game he keeps getting pulled out of position, and leads to opposition goals. He may be one of our own, but he’s a good back up to Hoedt and A.N. Other, who we need to get in to form a proper, solid first choice pairing. Tadic and Jwp were good today, Lemina and Romeu certainly put a decent shift in too. Very disappointed with Gabbi today, he really offered very little throughout the game. Two golden chances at the end missed by the rookie lad, and Boufal (wtf didn’t he put his foot through that first time?) Overall a good game, good atmosphere in the ground and my boys and I enjoyed the game. Good stuff, now to play the same against Watford and Brighton. Ps please can we have a striker, cb, and pacy forward this week arrive?

And is completely, totally the fault of Les Reed and Co. Not the we exactly set the Europe league on fire was it, no away goals and playing for a thrilling 0-0 to go through in the last game... Puel was not great, just because the board got someone worse in, doesn't mean Puel is suddenly better than he was. Our home football was totally turgid boring crap last season. Do people forget this? I don't. Even some of the games we won were awful to watch at home. Sideways, backwards, sideways backwards. Boring. That's why the fans are so damn down - we've had enough of boring football. The board appointed Puel and Pell, both were bad choices. I go to football to be entertained, not getting that this season or last. "He who keeps looking backwards can never see where they are going" - Puel is gone, get over it everyone.

Just Watched motd, and having seen the 2nd Watford goal, I do have some sympathy for the match officials. At normal, as it happened speed on TV it wasn't obvious that it was handball. I can see how it was missed by the officials. If McCarthy had come out and claimed the ball it simply wouldn't have happened anyway... Sadly, ultimate blame is at the managers door. Sat back and tried to take 2-0, should have carried on the way we were first half. Watford subs were astute, ours, umm, were not.

Get set for an afternoon with saints being bullied and harried all match. Like the home game, Watford big and pacy, Saints slow and small. U12’s v men again... I hope I’m wrong...

Disappointing that both are poor in the air, and we are playing a big physical team today...

I never realised it was first versus second

Why oh why can we not play two upfront?? Has it been banned or something by the FA? Boring, negative line up. Just typical of our manager, play it safe at a championship side, try and sneak a 1-0 or 0-0. God he doesn't learn does he?

If watching the youth players is that exciting, why not just watch the U23's every game? They're playing crap too, so should be a home from home !! We played the sell everyone and play the youth team when we went down last time. We got relegated, works a treat!

Or Redmond as our defence destroying Mané replacement...

Now is the not the time to be taking a gamble on an unproven player, when we are in a relegation dogfight. We need to splash the cash on PROVEN premier league players. If we go down the cheaper, foreign import route, who knows what we are going to get? He will need time to settle in, and we don't have time on our side. I'm hoping that this is a false alarm, and we are after someone more prolific & experienced. May as well buy Crouch for 3 million as this guy!!

2 points actually, you're bigging us up ;(

But we only have 17 games left...

Great, unexpected point Saints. Fab performance, but for a worldie save from de Gea, Long would have won it for us. Good stuff boys, there is hope

2-0 to them. We will park the bus, but not quite between the white lines, thus allowing a couple of close range defensive muck up type goals. Pellegrino will tell us we played well (but still lost), and so it will continue....
