Richardson without a doubt. Poll closed.

Nope it's not! It's where we start to actually believe we can do this! This was a really really big win.

He was injured. Limped off and was helped down the tunnel by the physio. Prob a precaution more than anything.

That was probably our best win of the season. At HT we were in big trouble, we didn't penetrate enough in the first half or create much. They were always neat and tidy on the ball and carried a threat, whilst they were solid closing us down with a really fluid and dynamic midfield.. As soon as they nicked the lead when they did it looked a long way back. I felt sorry for Davis because his initial save was stunning. We came out in the 2nd half like a train, the first 10 mins we stepped up 2 gears and turned the game on it's head. I didn't see that turn around coming based on the first half! All of a sudden we had width, we had pace and penetration in and around the box and it paid off. After that initial spell we kind of gave the impetus back to Hull and they stepped it up and passed it around very well, their pace up top through Maclean caused us a real issue at times. They were easily the best team we've played at home this year and they will be a force in the 2nd half, no doubts about that. They've got some real quality, which is why this win is so satisfying - we dug in and won that like a team that knows how to win games, from any position. That's what 2 years of winning in L1 with the same players gives you. Not too bothered WHU won, I'm more pleased that the gap between us and 3rd is increasing. It looks at the moment to be us and WHU going nip and tuck at the top, with the rest playing catch up. I never thought I'd be saying that.....!

Had a bad day or something?

They have always charged £10 per re-print. What's the issue here? It should teach people to be a little more careful in looking after it!

The general rumour going around at the moment is that Chanrai will take control back (he hasn't been paid in full) - and straight away start insolvency proceedings with Portsmouth. Will have to wait and see.

This farce just will not stop. Cant' see them going into administration again, they'll wiggle themselves out of it somehow so they can continue this season - but there is now an extreme possibility that they'll be L1 very shortly, and continue to fall through the leagues. They're back to a position where they'll need to get rid of their higher earners again. (Lawrence, Mullins, Tal) etc.

We might not even get to play them at this rate!

Wouldn't write them off just yet, a winning mentality breeds belief right up until the last second.

He's found his level.

He was on football focus y/day afternoon too, looked fine. Wouldn't have known. Feel so sorry for his family.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/8918628/Wales-boss-Gary-Speed-found-dead.html That is too ****ing tragic. Awful.

Reports that he took his own life. Totally shocking.

Massive shock this....just announced by the Welsh FA that their National Team manager, Gray Speed, has died. RIP.

In typical saints fashion, watch us win at all the top teams home grounds.

I hope you're not going on Tuesday!

Stupid post. The game was centered around a feature on Bristol City, this was organized long before we were going to play them. The bald fella went down to do a piece of their new manager and the upturn in fortunes. Why that means the media are against us is beyond me. Some people really need to get a grip.

Draw for me, get both of them dropping points as long as we win. That's the best outcome for us. I'm already looking forward to Tuesday, It can't come quick enough. Today was one of the few blips we've had in the last few years, we've been incredibly spoilt in terms of wins!

TBF SDR is very quick, but we haven't seen enough of that. I do agree with you though, I'm also of the opinion that we need a little more pace to get us in behind teams. That's why we really need a pacey forward IMO, we don't have that option in the squad at the moment.

TBF Nigel sounded quite downbeat about it after the game, didn't let onto too much, usually you'd hear him try to reassure etc.

Thats the winner.

Albert Adomah, we were linked with him when he was at Barnet. Incredibly quick player, so direct - if not always with an end product. I've always liked him.

What a truly awful game of football. I feel sorry for those WHU fans if that's what they have to put up with all year.
