If only we'd played this in the first half.

Yeah but if you give anyone apart from the bottom 5 or 6 a bunch of chances you'll probably lose.

Get Ings on?

Ward Prowse awful apart from pen.

Eh? He's doing great and single-handedly got us back in the game

Umpire's call.

That's a pen.

That's a nice break. Let's capitalise on it.

Terrible challenge! Haha.

Should hit the target there.

Our home record under Ralph is pretty awful

Bednarek pulled over there. VAR it!

Agreed. Our best two defenders are sat on the bench.

He was the only one who actually reacted and tried to do something useful.

Cedric doing **** all, as usual. Marking the back post instead of defending.

No midfield cover, as usual.

Solanke knows how to score in this league, does he?

Lucky. All over the place again.

Romeu let him go. Basic.

Yeah, I just can't see that this is the best available team.

So this coach needs to generate, at a minimum, significantly more than £2k a day to even break even? Is there that level of demand for this sort of thing?

Isn't there a London Saints supporters group? You can probably find them on Facebook or suchlike.

Puel wasn't popular but as others have said, he had a plan and delivered some decent results with a weaker squad than the previous years. He had to pick Stephens and Forster regularly FFS. The thing I was most annoyed about with Puel was the lack of focus on the European campaign. Getting knocked out of that group was a terrible effort. Hughes is a weird one. He's never been a manager I rated but there's no doubt he brought some steel and fighting spirit in that kept us up, even though we still turned out some awful performances. Ultimately, throwing in extra strikers got us the win at Swansea so he needs some credit for that. Would Puel or Pellegrino have gambled? The weird thing was how half-arsed he was in the next season. It smacked of complacency once he was given his contract and was inexcusable really. Pellegrino was just awful in all respects. Never learnt from his mistakes and talked ****e. If he has one excuse it's perhaps that things were a mess behind the scenes with inertia whilst Kat tried to sell / Gao tried to find the money and Les and Ross screwing up the recruitment.

Barnsley is one of those condemned towns that no outsider visits out of choice. Ignorant, thick and poor.

Hi Ron. How's Derek doing?
