Well they are still aiming for Europe remember.

Funnilly enough, it was the 0-0 at home to Stoke. An equally tepid affair. Which amazingly MP was still in charge of.

Yeah, sorry. He's one of these players with fake pace! His pace is really a myth....he stops with the ball well though.

It's a sad state of affairs when your only pacey options are Long and Redmond. When you look at it like that it's no surprise what's happened.

The genuine reason as to why we have been relegated has been the constant ‘silent’ downgrading of our team, replacing with rubbish and going for cheap/clever managerial appointments. Puel, MP, both absolute garbage. Ross and Les hang your heads in shame.

The attacking side of this team since Mane and Pelle left has been absolutely shambolic. Then we have picked away at the defence so that became equally as shambolic. He's not got much to work with, individual quality maybe, but a bit of a mish mash of players. The recruitment team have absolutely failed this club to lumber us with one of the most unbalanced and confusing squads I can ever remember. Hughes would have stayed on if we stayed up and the only reason I'd keep him is if he had got us going on a genuine run. He hasn't and doesn't look likely, so a change at the end is probably best - for everyone. Mass changes required at all levels too. No one who is employed by the club should be immune from getting canned.

Stranger things have happend. Would at least give us something to look forward to at the end of the season.

Our run in doesn't include West Brom though, we obviously can't beat anyone else. This result tonight will give everyone above us a huge kick as well, this has pretty much done and dusted the bottom 3.

It's over, seriously. Don't ware yourself out trying to work out the chances. It's done. The slim hope was winning the next 4. We haven't, therefore we still have only 1 one game since November. Not a cats hell chance of us winning the next 3.

All over now.

That really is all over now. Done and dusted. Not even a proper fight, waste of time.

Well that was rubbish.

Don't think so, not sure he's that sort. More of a box to boxer. I don't think we've ever had a decent number 10, always a gap in our side. Made up in recent years because of the pace of Mane etc.

Yeah I thought as much. Can't say I'm bothered, doesn't strike me as the sort of player you need when the going gets tough. Another failed attempt at signing a 'number 10' for us!

Counteracting the players they have missing, they welcome back Ndidi on Thursday who has been suspended. He's a huge player for them.

This is basically the new 'SaintsPlayerHD' stuff, we changed our website so I'd imagine we won't be using any of that integrated stuff. Watching highlights on QUEST it is then....

Probably the cushiest job in the world.

I imagine any GK recommendation/scout comes from Watson.

We've been interest in Fredericks for a couple of seasons, but I guess that all depends on what Fulham do. I don't mind Burn at Wigan, he played well against us. It's amazing to see someone like Leon Clarke in there, he is bog average - let's be honest. Reminds me of the year when Steve Kabba was ripping it up in this league. Some top level players in that team though, like Willy Bolly, Neves, Sessengon, Maddison, Cairney. Hard to see us getting any of those.

They do play good football, but they have a strong basis to do that. Duffy and Dunk are better CB's than anything we have to offer, not sure how we got into that position - but we did, so congrats to the club. Isn't their RB - Bruno - 36/37 or something? He's incredible for that age, a lot less meak than Cedric!

Not saying I agree with their view at all, just they've seen a fair bit of him down there. I do think he'd need a presence of sorts alongside him though, we had quite a tall midfield the last time we were down there with Morgan and Hammond.

Just being realstic! Accept that the 3 now will be the 3, I cannot see anyway out of it. Too far adrift, no form, no momentum, every team above us edging away. Game set match, almost.

8 points adrift, jeez. the nail is now being put in place, the hammer is being lined up.

He is an incredibly rash player
