Don't buy it. If that's the case we can put the same team as today out against Wham to give them more rest time and maybe rest Adam and Rickie to. If the players really were shattered we could have rested them against Hull to keep them fresh for today which was in most peoples mind more important than finishing one place different either way in the league.

None but you're missing the point. If we play our strongest team and lose so be it we did everything we could to get to the next round. Playing a weaker side suggests we weren't bothered and most saints fans want the club to be bothered in the cups.

I was at both of those games I'm I allowed an opinion now?

So let them rest against Westham in a game that offers no reward or rest the players against Hull so they could have been fresh for this game. Losing a league game would have made little difference to our season a good cup run might have.

yes in years to come what would fans talk about the year we finished above united or the year we won the FA cup. TBH winning the JPT means more to me than finishing above united.

Yep but we missed the bit that makes the team tick Morgan and Jack in the midfield hence turgid crap with nothing for the front three to work with. Changing the keeper was OK but pointless, Putting in Jos for Jose was not great but screwing up our midfield is what killed it and that was MPs choice.

Excellent what sort of trophy does 7th in the league bring then.....

In fairness I think we would have played Gallagher more but for circumstance. Plus the forward line can only score if they get decent balls played to them midfield was woeful (dare I say without Jack Cork) so the forwards had few quality balls all day.

Well the fact he only got one real chance speaks volumes about the way the team played today.

Some one called him a pub player..

What a load of bollix just haven't looked up for this game at all Poch is seems just can't beat Poyet's tactical genius. Still we still have the rest of the league to look forward to....

That's probably it then. Lambert misses a sitter then we take off Adam.

wow an attack from saints...

Players just going through the motions.

It seems like we're getting worse as the game goes on

I bet if this was a league game our strongest 11 would be on the pitch periodization or not

Rickie is same as normal he has always been slow why people suddenly expect him to become a pacy forward I have no idea.

At last lets get at them...

Can't string two passes together. Where has this seasons saints team gone.

You'd think the players would want this they look like they're not that bothered..

yep

yippe...

Can we make some changes now?

****!!!!!

Sunderland looking more dangerous:?
