hypochondriac

I think we will hear something this week or not at all. I'm leaning towards DaGrosa being a bit of a chancer (shocking I know!)

Alongside the young players looking to use us as a stepping stone he's exactly the type of player we should be looking to sign. Kwp, Bertrand, romeu, Theo and ings have all had a taste of bigger clubs and it didn't work out for one reason or another (maybe not the same with Theo but you get the point). All have come and proven their worth here and have probably all stayed longer at a club where there's less expectation and maybe a bit less pressure and more support.

Is that comment really necessary? Why can't you just comment on the game rather than having pops at people's politics? Nasty and unnecessary.

TBF that was mentioned weeks ago.

Mods - Can you remove the posts that appear to be written by young children whining about bullying on a Web forum? Thanks.

I'm not denying that's the case I'm just saying it's a shame he has never had more than a handful of games to show either way.

But I think three of those managers were largely crap and I'm not sure I'd trust their judgement about player abilities. I don't know how much Ralph would have seen of him.

I'd still like to see him as a backup option in the squad. The amount of dross we've had playing for us over the past two or three seasons it saddens me to think how few opportunities he actually had.

Did he have a long run of poor form?

I'm not just saying these because he's doing well but I've always wondered why he hasn't had more chances with us. People have said he's barely done anything but how many games has he actually played a significant amount of time with us?

Why would you draw any conclusions after 5 games?

To be clear I don't actually know. Haven't heard from anyone for a couple of weeks.

I would suggest this is why we haven't heard about the takeover yet...

Yep. At that point looked like it would be a cricket score.

Like who? Which striker was available with better finishing and technique for the money? If you can't name anyone then that's sort of the point. Besides, he's actually a decent player anyway so you're point about him not being good I'm sorry to say is bollocks.

I already said he isn't that clinical but I'd far rather have him than anyone else we have. He's much better than Long. Not sure we would have got anyone better for the money.

It's just so nice to talk about football again where its an entertaining game and we have showed some promise and actually delivered. I genuinely lost interest after sitting through so much turgid awfulness over the last few years. Ralph is a great manager.

Exactly. I think some people just take a very surface level at football and see a player who is a little bit wasteful with chances and doesn't score a ton and writes him off because he came from the lower leagues. There's so much more to his game and the assist today was delightful as was the tenacity for the goal. We are lucky to have him.

Ha very true. You're right about not being boring, it's much more fun watching football like this than some of the horrible stuff we've had to endure over the last three years.

Yep and he's made a number of valuable contributions in loads of matches. He's not the most clinical striker in the world but he's been great value so far for what we paid. For a club the size of saints he's a fantastic option to have.

Also really pleased for Adams who has done a great job in his largely supporting role for Ings. Should shut up some of those Adams bashers.

Not sure about that. My stream was free and in HD all game.

No doubt he's improved though. I'd rather have him there at the moment than bednarek and Stephens. You're right though, the commentators were going mental over their players before they had even done anything. They played some good stuff in the first half but the goals themselves were more down to our poor play.

Really pleased for him. Seems like a new signing really and if he ends up paired with Salisu we could be on to a winner.

Is it fair to say that vestergaard has been half decent so far this season?
