You seem to have trouble understanding. Nobody is suggesting we play for draws , lots of sides play without 2 strikers and it’s not negative. 4-4-2 can be more negative if you just sit with 2 banks of 4. Saturday we didn’t set up to draw, Tadic, Sims and Redmond behind 1 up top is not negative, doing the same at Newcastle is not negative. I blame that ****ing dinosaur Merrington, going on about 2 up top all the time. This forums caught his disease. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And we were unlucky to only draw with Watford. Which ever way you look at it, our away form is ok at the moment. Certainly good enough not to tear up the formation we’ve been using all season, to appease a forum. If Redmond and Sims play like they did yesterday our formation will give us more chance of winning at Newcastle than a 4-4-2. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Talk about reading things that aren’t there. Where have I said I’m happy with how we’ve played this season. I’m making the perfectly reasonable point that being unbeaten away from home since Boxing Day now is not the time to change our style of play away from home. Of course had things worked out as you hoped, we would have lost an away game this year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What’s shocking is people not acknowledging the improvement in our away performances and results since Boxing Day. If we pick up the same number of draws & wins in our remaining 6 away games as in the last six, we’ll end up with 40 points even if we lose every home game. But yeah, let’s change our style.

We haven’t lost an away game since Boxing Day, yet with 3 away games coming up in a row, the football experts on here want us to change our style of play. Genius. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Spot on. We’ve had a slightly better shape since he’s come in. The problem is the number 10 role . I’m convinced away from home that Long could play that role as Okazaki did for Leicester, as he’s quick and works hard enough to fill in the midfield when we’re defending. For all his silky touches, occasional assist and decent passes , Tadic doesn’t do enough for me in that role. I noticed Sims dropped in there for a couple of minutes yesterday, whether by design or because Tadic had found himself on the wing I don’t know, but a 3 of Tadic, Sims, Boufal/Redmond switching around as we did under Poch May work at home. People need to remember Pelle had Mane buzzing around him. As well as Sims played, Mane probably would have buried the 2 one on ones he had yesterday. One he delayed his shot and got caught , the second he took too wide. Mane buries them, we win 2-0 and every bodies happy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought it was strange only playing 2 mins and thought it bizarre that he didn’t let us take the free kick, however I was ****ed off with our fannying around with the throw in just prior to the end. Long had the ball in his hand and then left it for Bertrand who trotted up the line and took an age to take the throw. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agreed, amazing man. How the **** did he manage to find Pelle, fantastic discovery that nobody at the club, certainly not the manager, had ever heard off. I bet Ronald Koeman was surprised when Mitchell drew his attention to Pelle. And Tadic, wow, can’t believe he found him. If only we’d had a manager from the Dutch league that would have noticed him. Both down to Mitchell , with Reeds man having **** all to do with it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don’t know about “turning in his grave” but I’d imagine he’d be disgusted with your lack of class. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s pony. I head the interview. What he actually said in response to Blackmore going all Merrington on him about 2 up front, was that he accepted we had our best spell when we had 2 up front, but that they also had their best chance when we we did. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Had Boufal played like Redmond did today there would be gushing praise. He played well today, him & Sims both looked dangerous. Best performance since Liverpool away in semi final. His confidence must have been rock bottom, so it shows a bit of mettle to comeback and turn in a performance like that. Gave his all today, more than can be said of others.

Not today he didn’t. He played exactly as people have been calling for, yet still gets clog. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He won’t even be the best Saints player ever relegated. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Absolute pony. You’re blinkered by your prejudice against the guy. He took players on a lot today, far and away his best performance of the season. He ran at them pretty much as much as Sims did, yet you praise him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

WTF. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When he joined on 5 Jan they were 3 points from safety, if that’s “practically relegated” I’m a chinaman. They actually ended up 6 points from safety, further from safety then when he started. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

First half poor, particularly Bertrand. Shocking attitude from senior pro imo. OR a shadow of last season, Wes is an accident waiting to happen, Cedric pretty poor as well. On the plus side, Sims & Redmond were excellent as was Lemina again. Stephens ended up playing Crouch ok, one last ditch header was great defending, but a lot of it was more luck than judgement. He needs a proper old pro centre half next to him , not Bambi on ice. Boufal, shocking miss. Sims has hardly played all season so perfectly acceptable to take him off and don’t really understand people moaning about it. We were a bit unlucky, with Charlie Austin we win that game. Not the end of the world, but need 4 points from Newcastle & West Ham. ****ed of with SWR because I had to drive, and stay sober. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looks like it is running now. Earlier their website said “shuttle train from Reading to Bournemouth “ I messaged them and they got back saying no stops in between. Now it’s updated and showing as “Reading to Bournemouth” with no mention of it being a shuttle service . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

According to my mate cross country are now running an hourly service from Bournemouth to Southampton stopping at Brock. Although their website still only shows shuttle service from Bournemouth to Reading so don’t know if that’s 100% right Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

SWR have confirmed to me that their decision has nothing to do with the track or safety, purely because their “stock is displaced”. They didn’t like my suggestion that the first train from Waterloo to Southampton could go onto Weymouth, meaning that only early trains from Weymouth would face cancellation. They have clearly made a commercial decision to cut down on delay repayments from the whole of the route by cancelling a chunk of it. They only have to repay monies already paid and I’d imagine most people pay on the day at weekends. If they ran the whole route nearly every passenger would be able to claim delay as it’s payable after 15 mins now. I won’t be able to have a few bevies now as I’ll have to drive up. ****ing he’ll, I may even vote for Corbyn if he chucks these clowns out of their franchise. Cross country are running trains down the same track, but it’s Reading to Bournemouth with no stops in between. FFS Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

SWR announced tonight. No trains from Weymouth to Southampton. Waterloo service starting at Southampton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They ran trains from Bournemouth to Waterloo today, so can't really believe they won't make Weymouth tomorrow. Although a girl I know who worked at the ticket office in Poole told me that Network rail concentrate on fixing the busiest lines and often that means Bournemouth to Weymouth being neglected . I'm in Poole , so can get to Bournemouth ok, you maybe lucky and they run a reduced service from Weymouth missing out Wool, Wareham Hamworthy, Etc etc. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. What are you saying, that it could be clear in Hants, all round the city , yet we have to call the game off because it's snowing somewhere else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re ****ing idiots if they make a decision at 5pm. The met office are reporting slow snow melt overnight and temperatures of 6 degrees tomorrow. 10 am tomorrow would be way more sensible Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This. Though I’m sure people will use this absolute unprofessional **** to have a dig at the club again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
