Not comfortable at all with Cedric leaving and no replacement coming in. Supreme complacency if that's what happens.

Dreadful. He must’ve got in that plane full of excitement and anticipation and it now seems certain he’s ended up dead in the water. Fate is so random and sometimes so cruel.

Yep, fairly pathetic digging out any of our players after that.

Yeah, looking a really good player. Certainly not one that'll be sold for less than we paid or loaned out just to get some of his wages off the balance sheet.

GTFI. Tortuous ending but saw it out and totally deserved to. Well played Saints, we are really looking like a decent outfit again with strong performers all over the pitch. Nothing short of miraculous after a season and a half of virtually relentless dross.

You can coach the passing, the skill is natural and he's got loads of it. Got to be worth a try now we finally have a decent manager.

Fair enough. You may be correct and hopefully you are because we need to be able to switch to a 4. He's improved massively since Ralph came in but he is s-l-o-w which doesn't get exposed as much in a 5.

I obviously have seen him recently. Been solid. In a back 5.

Or Vestergaard

Nice one pal.

After that Cardiff **** up I really began to think we had Hoedt Plus on our hands but he's improved immeasurably over the last few games. Seems particularly suited to the 3 CB formation where his obvious lack of pace doesn't get exposed so much.

Armstrong wasn't particularly great but 4 "awful" is clearly stretching it. Easily a 6. Otherwise decent summary 9/10.

What a ****ing win. With that starting line up and then the sending off, that has to go down as one of the best wins I have ever seen us achieve. Brilliant. Ralph take several million bows.

Indeed, if the business model is working those players have been/are being sold for big profits and we’re all left complaining about the loss of yet another good player. Buy potential and sell for big profit after potential is realised has become buy potential then loan out to anyone who’ll pay something towards his wages after potential is not realised. (Carrillo doesn’t quite fit either scenario due to absence of potential).

You must be at least 13 by now surely.

Vicky Sparks and her unique style.

Hmmm, you might be onto something here. Why bother with Association Football when the far more entertaining American version is available? I should imagine the Premiership will be defunct within 10 years after enough people have realised.

Thought the same but replay from behind Redmond looked like it was sneaking in.

Excellent goal. Hattrick now please Redmond.

He's looked perfectly fine for a young player making his debut. 1 bad mistake aside.

Made 1 bad mistake but otherwise yes.

Yes and Tom O'Connor is a 'comedian'

W@nker Lovren at fault as well!

Excellent effort, organisation and concentration throughout. Yoshida brilliant, will miss him just as he’s coming into a run of form. We need some out and out jet heeled pace in our attack to stand a realistic chance of scoring in games like that.

Yeah, credit where it’s due he’s doing very well tonight.
