Note to Ian Holloway.........We are playing Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal in our first four games! Message ends.....

Ummm can't say I agree with you any of that!

So we sign a player who is 'better' than what we have and he is only backup to Kelvin - how precisely does does that make sense. You intimate that Kelvin is still your No 1. If we bring someone 'better' in and they are 'better' they should play. It's no good sitting on fences where we will be playing - I think I smell a hint of sentimentality in your post which is always dangerous........

Eric Martin was class and should have played for his country. As far as I know he he never had a look in.......

You say that but even our Nigel would have struggled with no money and a team of 18 year olds. All things considered Potaloo did a very good job playing some decent football with kids and I would say well done with what he had to work with.........

? Would that ba a heavy weight bout! I hope to God Adkins claps him into the ring!

pure rubbish. Dave Jones did very little for saints and was right to be moved on.

Is this the same fox that always sits off a wide player and stands and watches him cross the ball in rather than closing down......Does it time and time again.....

A perfect summary if I might say. Been found wanting in my opinion and will not be good enough in the PL.

Yes they didn't appear to handle the whole thing very well at all - in spite of not because of I would say....

No Chaplow worries me.........Why don't we replace him with a similar player in a similar role? Even one our Yufe team with energy to spare......Guly just doesn't make runs and DeRidder flatters to deceive neither do the job Chappers does......

We were half the team when Chappers came off against Reading and exactly the same thing happened against Middlesbro. Massively underated....

Your response does not bare the detail which is required to answer the question has posed...........It;s really nothing to do with budget is it..........

Davies was actually so far from the centre of the goal that I was chatting to him in West End when the free kick was taken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he said the season was going well and what a lovely day then asked me what the score was.............

Get a grip man and be slightly more focused on the obvious issues............

Start with Martin end of.....................And Bart.........I'm sick em both........Fonte and Davies

Fonte is not good enough for this team shouted very loud indeed. Having said that nor is Davies who was a million miles from the middle of the goal and about two hundred people in the pub were screaming at him to cover the goal more central but he didn't, very poor goalkeeping indeed he musty be dropped it happens continuously poor poor goalkeeping very poor - drop him from a great height. So really really annoyed with the bad performance by the back line. The defence is very poor indeed ............

oh you beauty just as we had lost our way a little lol.........

Why the acceptance of very average or below players as being 'good enough'......................????

Fantastic start but oh dear Fonte is now a libility..............

Blatently not true.......Chaplow has different skills and does show for the ball and influence the pressure on the opposition players much more. We were not nearly as dominant when Chaplow went off. De Ridder does not effect the control of the game and Chaplow does.............

A slight disservice to Tom Jenkins perhaps......

100% correct...........Steve De Ridder is not up to it!

This is so obvious - can't see why the coaches have not dealt with it???? What did we pay for Fox - I just cannot see the value in him. If we'd brought him for say 300,000 then fair enough but we paid a small fortune for him and he's not dramatically different to Harding and hardly picks himself.........

Sorry ...........We dominated until Chaplow came off....In contrast DeRidder - I can't even be bothered to type the response to his ineffective performances - consistantly very below average.....
