Even the very clever in his own mind Wankersen wouldn't be that stupid.

No point doing it now but he needs to be gone at the end of the season.

I suspect Selles has told them not to.

Not a chance.

You won't be fuming.

Yeah and add on another gift-wrapped 3 points when they play us.

Unforunately Rasmus and SR will be making the summer rebuild decisions.

Called this at half time. Woy was just waiting for the inevitable.

Woy will unleash his boys second half a bit like last week at Leeds. We needed to score a couple in the first half.

You've obviously seen more of him than the rest of us. Or maybe I should say what a stupid comment.

How many minutes has Tall Paul had on the pitch?

How do we know whether Tall Paul is any good or not?

How does Aribo's goalscoring record compare with Tall Paul's? I wonder if Selles knows the answser.

We'll be defensive in the first half - it's the Selles way.

God no.

Slight contradiction here in that he says he doesn't worry we're getting cut adrift but doesn't look at the table.

No excuse now with 5 subs available.

I'm afraid Selles is a coach who believes you need to set out to stop the opposition rather than going gung-ho from the start. I don't see any evidence that he'll change this mind-set.We are always better when we start high tempo and take the game to our opponents. He'll scrape the odd win but invariably we'll go behind and lose.

This x 100!!! I have been watching Saints for over 50 years and the conclusion I have drawn is that we are not and never have been a side that does well when we start games slowly. Our best performances, almost without exception, have been when we start fast and go at the opposition from the first kick. We have always been a team that likes to attack so let's do that rather than try to keep it tight from the off which rarely works for us.

If we ever appoint Steve Bruce as our manager I'm done with this club.

I'm sure Rasmus has been tracking Potter for months and has algorithms and spreadsheets on him pasted all over the walls of his office.

Another Sunday wasted for Semmens having to travel to London when he could have been at home with his family.

Keeping it tight then changing it rarely work for us because strangely enough we are useless at keeping it tight. Better off going for it from the start - it's always worked best for us and we rarely get much if we don't go for it from the first whistle.

He's done ok but ok was never going to help us out of this mess with the dross in the squad. Having said that I'd have liked him to have really gone for it from the first whistle in every game but I don't think that's in his DNA. Get someone new in for next season but, under no circumstances, allow Rasmus Ankerssen and his fancy algorithms and spreadsheets any say in who we appoint.

It was actually an even game and they won it because we were too negative from the start and gave away our usual free header from a set piece. One day we'll score with a free header from a set piece...or maybe not.
