He'll be gone in the summer. Bought in to do a job for us, like Jaidi, Barnard, Harding, Richardson etc - they did that job and they were succesfull at the level we bought them for. So you've got to thank them for that, but now look forward to improving and upgrading on these guys.

Bit harsh on Kelvin to be fair, can't forget the contribution he's made to our rise. But this is very good news indeed. Very good goal keeper and a safe pair of hands.
-
I can't include Ramirez in our best line-up at the moment, because he simply isn't one of our better options at present, Davis offers much more in terms of 90mins. Would rather have Jay and Lallana on the flanks, and Davis just behind Lambert. In terms of ''names'' it probably is our best line-up, but it shouldn't be decided on that.
-
Very good results tonight, happy with those. Keeps us nice and clear of the bottom 3, and keeps us in touch with all above us.

God, I remember that very well. Every week we got a massive result, only to then check the scores to see Huddersfield had done the same! Was exciting, if nerve racking! The win against Plymouth on bank holiday Monday was great, I'll never forget that day. Loved every single minute of it. I wasn't to know that was just the start though.

Pekhart isn't actually too bad these days, and I think he always had the potential. He looked quite effective during his debut (A draw at home to Ipswich IIRC) - but he faded after that, as well as most of our team, but I don't think he was ever a poor quality player, which has been proven by his recent returns both domestically and internationally. Ok, he wasn't a world beater, but could have done a better job for us had the surroundings been better.

A guaranteed 3 points?
-
I don't think they'll be saying that after they lose to Acrington Stanley and Kidderminster.
-
Makin was decent cover, to a point. But when we had to start playing him as a regular starter, at Centre Back, things started getting ugly. Southampton 1 - 4 Palace rings a bell.
-
Darren Kenton. My god, he was off the scale ****e. Honorable mentions to Jordan Robertson, remember him? Bar a goal against Norwich, he was simply horrific in everything he did. Got locked up shortly after leaving us as well, don't think it was for crimes against football though. Lancashire was pretty embarrassing and I'd also have to add Skacel as well, a complete let-down in every single way. Barley contributed in the time he was here, bar a goal here and there. £1.6m too much.
-
I can't. Luton were pretty massive for L2 as well, yet look where they ended up. And obviously Bradford City as well. They have absolutely nothing. Will be hard for them to gather any momentum.
-
Knowing that it only gets better from here.
-
He has been an absolute disaster for QPR this year, complete and utter tosh in every game he's played. Ask any QPR fan. Don't go anywhere near him please.
-
Our effort in the championship was incredible, and to do it with the basis of our L1 squad was even better. We just looked like we were in the groove from day 1, and never, ever looked back. Easily the best side in that league, just a shame our final position wasn't a fair reflection. Completely unexpected really, at best I was hoping for a playoff push. I guess that makes me a smalltime fan!
-
Very good news. It's now a long, long, long way back for them. Can't see them at a decent level for decades to be honest.
-
Worst case scenario there, and that even gives us 42 points. No danger there.

SAINTS 1-1 West Ham // Post-Match Reaction
S-Clarke replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Andy Carroll, has somehow, got into the team of the week. What do people actually see in him? I think he's complete turd. Poor touch, and no balance. He did nothing on saturday to change my opinion of him. In fact it actually made a stronger case for it. Wow, he scored a goal and everyone goes over the top about it. It's his 6th of the season and he is a £35m striker. Pretty atrocious return really. Good to see Clyne get in at RB, thought he had a very handy game -
If you could get one play in now who would it be? Realistic options
S-Clarke replied to Ally Biggs's topic in The Saints
Slightly out of budget I'd think! -
Which isn't actually possible, as they have to play each other. So you're right, complete nonsense as usual. We must be close to mathematical safety, but I'm not clever enough to work out all the permutations.

Loic Remy. In fact, my summer business would be - Loic Remy (offer us options down the flanks, as well as through the middle. Sheer pace and power) Davide Astori (Real class and ability on the left side of defense. Would be a straight upgrade) Emmerson Boyce (A real all-rounder. Can play right back, left back, centre back, DM, Right midfield.). All squads need a player like him and I don't think we have that. I also really rate him, has never looked out of place for Wigan. -
Look at all the teams in between us and the bottom 3 as well, and our extra goal difference. And the games that Wigan actually have remaining. If we lose every single game between now and the end of the season by heavy margins, then we may be in trouble. But I see no evidence of anything like that occurring.
-
We've pulled away, there's no worry any more. Don't stress yourself worrying over the other results. We're fine.
-
That Reading v QPR game will be like a cup final for who finishes bottom.
-
10 points adrift, 15 to play for. Should be confirmed within the next couple of weeks, although if we're honest they're already long gone. Just waiting for the rubber stamp.
