think even Didcot disagrees with himself now so you are on your own!

PLEASE NO *****ING! In the lead up to the end of last season Crouch was talking quite openly about how close we were to some new investment. It is probably the most open any shareholder/board member has been about this sort of thing. He was publically pleaded for Wilde/Lowe to delay their move as it was days away. It obviously didn't happen. Has either Crouch, or anyone close to him ever explained what happened? I assumed it was one and the same as the Fulthorpe -but don't know whether I am putting 2 and 2 and getting 5?! Please not another thread either slagging of Crouch for not coming up with it or Lowe for pushing him out etc. Just can't remember there being a final update on this, anyone know?

solid, composed but knows when to clear it. made a mistake for the goal. runs with ball out of defence. Very very good signing -for our current level. Far from being worst, one of the better over last couple of seasons -appreciate still early days.

has it finished?

I thought Wotte after Saturday, as the team seemed more motivated. Yesterday was gutting, but won't judge after seeing two games of his. Saeijs said the team was too relaxed under Jan and training is harder and more disciplined - bit early to see if this will have the desired effect. Jan failed, so Wotte on the basis that the jury is still out

and first time ever I walked away thinking shall I keep coming to this?

don't think he can, think its against CCC rules for loan player to play against his club

you see him? I normally do from my seat but didn't see him tonight -can't say looked much

who would it be for you (not including Rasiak/John/Dyer)

James did get forward, and his best part of his game has been his crossing but it was off tonight, hitting from too deep and not overlapping as he has done

ok if its that I welcome her on the radio...but don't think it will be

what I was thinking, really don't want to hear anything Lowe, Wilde, Cowen, Crouch, Corbett etc have to say unless its a solution now -we know they all hate each other so sort it out -no more public tit for tat *****ing please

yep, lacked decent penetration -particularly FBs.

after watching that it feels hopeless. Think your theory is probably bit off mate -the damage caused by him is the set up, players available not him picking the team.

it was empty but its not that attractive at the moment is it?

Davis Not his normal confident self 6 James - very poor but tried 3 Size - 7 MOM composed in defence and brought ball out well -lost man for 3nfDid Perry - 7 solid Surman - poor defending but playing LB no excuse for poor passing 5 McGlaggon - did very little 2 Wotton - Put himself about. 5 Lallana - poor 4 Gillett - ok/energetic 1st half 6. Mcgoldrick - thought did ok lacking service some decent touches 6 Saga - worked hard lacked service 6 Subs: Euell - no real effect 5 BWP - tried/lively 6 Schinderlin - no impact

couldn't be sure but didn't see Lowe, Wilde or Cowen

think bit in bold is when it can really be judged a success -i.e. achieving something. It does appear to have been well attended and run.

I live on the east side of Southampton, snow has cleared from road -even side roads, sky is blue at the moment, even the ice in a bucket in the garden has thawed. There is no frost forecast for tonight -even in the early hours long after fans are home. Why would it not be played?

would have been bit strange if he had gone on the march?

Not forecast to go below 5 tonight so should be no frost and pretty clear now in Southampton

agree with all above. name is surely worth the money? Think it is probably cheap emergency cover and perhaps seen something that makes them think he has an outside chance of coming good. Saeijs is the CB signing for the window. This thread would have been boring and died if it wasn't for Stanley's theory that he is the advanced man in an invasion!

they also said about the suspension. Guess he meant where possible same team -he said to be fair to the players he wanted to reward them for their effort -think he meant no-one dropped or changed due to tactics.

Did this actually happen? Can't see anything on Stoke or Norwich's sites

there's my humble pie -yours?
