**** poor. Possession is no good if it's all on your own defensive third. I reckon kelvin had more touches than sharp, who was anything but. I hate it when we knock around at the back like that.

If wolves go down, I'd take Matt Jarvis thank you very much.

It's true what he says though. There's no way in hell they can win the title now. 2nd is the best they can hope for. Looks like they've blown it. I think we only need another 10pts from the remaining games to seal it.

How about a minutes silence?

I'm quite happy to have reading put the pressure on. We've got the points and the GD. West ham will get the jitters if they were to drop into 3rd.

Sharp

I can only think that it's about fitness. If Adkins is trying to get him leaner and sharper then he can make a point about it by putting others on before him.

This. Unbelievable save.

According to the song, we all support saints cos our mum told us to. I don't think I've ever sang it. Not interested. But you know, each to their own.

Haven't heard sharp mentioned this half, on 5 live.

Yes yes yes

What?

Connolly on for sharp soon I reckon

Pen ffs!

If you're listening to 5 live there's not much mention of the football!!!

This hoof ball argument that this makes them inferior to us is getting a bit boring. They're top of the league so it must be effective. We're second so our style is effective too. All it means is that one is nicer to watch, but ultimately, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Look at Greece in euro 2004. Boring to watch but they won it.

The thing is, football can change so quickly; beat burnley on Saturday and whu next week (I know it's asking a lot) and we'll be back on cloud 9. Don't forget, whu just recently got stuffed, Blackpool dented cardiffs hopes, so other teams can slip up too. I'm sure whu will have bad run of results, as will other teams in the top 6. Let's just hope we can find our form and confidence again cos with that we can beat anyone in this div.

I don't get comments like this. Top of the championship in December, although great, actually means nothing. It shows progress, yes, and progress is good, but it's where we finish that counts. The league table doesn't lie and we are where we are on merit, but the season is 46 games long. Leading the Olympic 100m final at 70m means little if you end up in 6th place. I'm happy with Adkins and the squad. We just need to get our form back. We've shown that we can do it. COYS

I said that two weeks ago

Chappers has got one! LOL Richard chaplow (@Rchap04) 2/6/12 9:34 PM Can't watch the game because my missile is watching some crap on sky1 #poortv, can't be bothered getting of the sofa to the other tv!

It might be easier to see if you're there but on tv the yellow ball is hard to see.

Why no orange ball? Can't see it finishing tbh.

I totally agree. I feel that our centre midfield balance is off, and has been since Chaplow has been out. As you say, the combination of hammond, schneiderlin & cork doesn't work as well as it ought to, given that, individually, they are talented players. As I say, it's about balance. They're too similar. It's similar to the way Gerrard and Lampard didn't work well together in the England team. I think none of them are attacking midfielders and none of them are true holding midfielders. They're kind of something inbetween. They all play to a similar tempo, although cork has a slightly higher intensity to his game. When Chaplow comes back, I'd like to see him and cork in the middle with cork holding, breaking up play and passing it easy and Chaplow making runs, pressing, and creating space behind him. Llalana on the left and Guly/Puncheon on the right. It's chaplow's constant running and high energy that created space and options for the defence and other midfielders to exploit. In essence, when Chappers is fit, the other three are competing for one place. Good competition.

FT. Good second half saints. Well done

5-1 ipswich
