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...

I am really looking forward to the game Saturday. A real test for us ! And if we win, it'll be awesome!

As a Carlisle AND Saints fan, I am delighted to be going to Wembley two years running. And this time I don't have to be divided ... although Saints come first

At least Lallana and Chambo have loads of time to rest now before our next game. Annoying we drew, but far from the end of the world. All still in our hands.

Come on Saints! Get a grip, and a second goal while you are at it!

We just scored without him on the pitch.

Blackpool could have a Beattie / Ormerod pairing up front. Reunited after all these years!

He was slow and had no shot power. But somehow we got the best out of him for a year. Wish him well.

I bet the Newcastle fans are happy. Sold their top scorer and brought in a 34 year old donkey. Can't imagine they will be impressed either if a Hughton-inspired West Brom manage to overtake them before seasons end.

To be honest it was probably ball to hand from one of their shots. Haven't seen it of course.. but I imagine that's it. Lets hope we can hang on...

What is happening to our defence?! If we can just sort it out this game is winnable. At the moment it is looking like a 6-5 defeat.

Typical saints. to be fair.

Definite obstruction. Fonte would have stopped the ball going in if Nardiello hadn't blocked him off. It isn't like it was trickling harmfully out of play.. this is as bad as someone blocking off a player who is clean through on goal.

It has been an embarassing day for Holloway http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackpool/9378165.stm

I would find it rather amusing if he goes now after their elation that he is staying .. all the chanting outside and cheering and stuff... and then a few days later he's off somewhere else!

Fantastic! We were never going to win the cup so this is the kind of prestige game we could do with to keep spirits up. Be great to see how our lot do against a proper Premiership side! Ok, probably nothing, but a we'll be real underdogs. COYR!

He always looked unfit when he was here. Perhaps he sorted himself out now. Good luck to him!

I don't believe Hodgson ever had the backing of the players. All this talk of Liverpool though, what about Chelsea!!! Ancelotti won't last much longer. The premiership is a crazy place this season.

Once it became obvious that Lambert and Guly up front wasn't working on Saturday, we should have thrown Connelly into the mix (half time replacement for Lambert) and perhaps given Doble a chance to come on later in the game. I think Adkins had a bad game on Saturday and got the tactics wrong really.

A new striker on loan and a replacement for Puncheon if he doesn't come back, would be fine. All we lacked on Saturday really apart from a strong goalkeeping performance, but Kelvin can get over that I think, was something different coming forwards. We played most of the game with 10 men, Lambert is of no use presently.

Just ridiculous.

I'm having the same problem.

Finally turned the possession into goals today!
