Early kick off means more of my Saturday will be ruined if we lose. Come on Saints it's time to give us something to be positive about.

Good summary, especially the bit about Redmond and Boufal both being sh!t.

Come on Pilch one. I know it's been an emotional day and it WAS a one 1star AWFUL shot but we've all shanked them in our time.

Redmond ain't going to cut it either. Not as a genuine top level player anyway.

I don't think he's going to cut it, I really don't. Obviously has skill and can beat a man but more is required to succeed at this level like knowing when to pass and being able to compete physically.

Don't see what the OP has said to make him a c*nt whatsoever.

Never started a thread before but the inexplicable disappearance of the PMRT this season has forced my hand................. Anyway, my good god that was awful today. AWFUL. We have some serious serious issues to sort. ONE goal from open play in TWELVE matches, basically a third of a season. FFS.

Surely he'll be in next game. This simply can't continue, Forster is as bad at saves as Long is at shots.

I have absolutely had enough of that c*nt. He is ****ing useless.

And we're "progressing" from a team that can't take chances to a team that can't create them in the first place.

Really feckin poor I'm afraid.

"Mane situation" my arse.

Tadic is really starting to annoy me. Skilful but just no urgency about him. When Gabbiadini had that shot which went straight at the keeper today Tadic was well placed for a simple ball and a far easier chance with no defender near him (as opposed to Gabi who had a defender right in front and was hurt by him trying to block the shot). You could argue Gabi should have seen him - perhaps he did and ignored him - but Tadic a/didn't look as if he was screaming for the pass and b/didn't look ****ed off when he didn't get it (no arms in the air or demonstrating with Gabi). No killer instinct.

Not sure he will still feel lucky after that terrible miss.

Happy with a point in the end but they battered us for long periods and if he ever has aspirations to be a top player Redmond HAS to score easy chances like his first half one on one. Man of the match - Huddersfield fans, sounded like a total riot for the entire match which is only ever going to help their players.

The ****'s behaviour has infuriated me so much I'm almost at the point where my favourite outcome would be we keep him, he grovels and says he'll play (how ****ing generous) , and we tell him we'll get back to him next summer.

Oh ffs. Not after 3 games. Not even you.

Wince. Early days of course but it's difficult to take any positives from a 2 nil defeat at home to a reserve team from the division below us, it has to be said.

If the relationship between player and club hierarchy is broken down it is purely because of the totally out of order actions of the player. So if we sell he gets his way and the theory that you can engineer a move away from us by acting like a c.nt is proven for the future reference of all players who fancy a move shortly after signing a lucrative long term contract. We have to make him stay and if that means he spends a season (and it needs to be a season, not just until January) kicking in his heels refusing to play then so be it and more fool him. If he does do that I would be in full support of us forcing him to stay a further season firstly for being a c.nt and secondly to serve as an unequivocal warning to others that we will not be f.ucked about any more.

Best centre back options in the league.................

While the first was in no way an horrendous howler a real top level keeper pushes it wide and away from danger. 2nd he did well to save. Agree defenders didn't help on either. It shouldn't be forgotten that he went 6 consecutive games without conceding when he first came back from injury the season before last, he was outstanding against Arsenal during that run, so he obviously has it in him. If we can get that Fraser back on a consistent basis then fine, and he does look leaner and possibly a bit more mobile so far this season. Regardless though a keeper of his size's biggest strength should be dominating his area and claiming crosses comfortably but, if anything, that's his biggest weakness.

According to disgruntled Kumb forum members its 5 in half a season + yesterday's match which is a genuine LOL stat if true.

Anyone booing José Fonte deserved to be ejected from the ground for treating a Saints legend like that (or something). He should be put on the banner to make him feel better bless him. Disgusting.

Always good to know that ds fantasy of Igle Tara eels is being teased.

Did Forster deserve a gold star?
