Seems a strange team from Adkins today.

Agreed. Bit of a weird one from Nigel really.

Not many knee jerk reactions on this thread so far..

Can't afford 2 defeats in a row.

Crap. We are in trouble.. Let's hope we can hang on for a point. It is the long term damage that is the problem - 3 matches without our main man.

Brighton winning possession 60/40 .. let's hope a counter-attack comes off!

I think I just saw some tumble-weed blow past in this thread...

We miss Chaplow's engine I think. He chases everything and works hard and that encourages the whole team around him.

Amazing run. Surely even the most pessimistic of Saints fan's can't complain!

Bit of a dull game so far?

Hopefully we can bounce back from this.

Pop .. there goes our bubble.

I remain cautiously optimistic. Great start to the season but still a long way to go!

Five minutes?!! WHAT? Ridiculous. Must be Big Sam passing a few notes to the fourth official.

Painful last few minutes. Just hang on Saints!!

Tried two different computers - none work for me on Saints player so it must be a conspiracy against me (or probably just certain user names, or the server is overloaded)

Usually works for me. But I've tried it on Chrome and IE , clearing cookies and everything and it just says "connecting to stream" so perhaps the server is overloaded somehow. Damned frustrating.

Trying to listen on Saints Player. Anyone else succeeding? I just get connection errors.

Does seem rather expensive for our first season back in the Championship. But maybe it won't go up that much from these prices, once we're back in the Premiership? (hopefully)

Hughes leaving Fulham is extremely odd.

I think he can raise his game. Some of our players will want to prove themselves at this higher level and it might be the catalyst to some improved performances from various players, like Hammond. Whether he can sustain it all season, or even two? But I say, give him a fair crack!

Well done for admitting it Charlie.

We could so easily have lost our nerve in these last few games. But instead we've gone into them in style, with confidence and been able to express ourselves as a footballing side. The only sad thing is we can't catch Brighton!!

Seen Brentford twice this season. We handed them the game at St Mary's - but at Wembley in the JPT final they were very poor. Lots of big tall blokes, with no muscle. Easily panicked in defence. But they did have a semi-decent counter attack. Could be a tricky game for us.

Not good. Time running out, lets hope we can win the game in hand...
