John B

and Wayne Thomas and possibly Chris Perry

Yes he did touch the ball a few times but it did not often end up with a Saints Player

I agree with most of your markings Thought Puncheon was better in the second half but pretty useless in the First. Waigio did score and make a goal but I was continually wondering what was happening down the right and the left footed Harding did not help. Actually thought Hammond played better when Morgan went off

I have enjoyed this season and hope SFC win the JPT and get at least another twenty league points. But I think with all the money spent I feel slightly disappointed that we have not achieved more. At the start of the season I was hoping for a ten finish with the players that we had with two or three more in the transfer window. Next season I expect us to be very much involved in the Promotion race and not to be out of the top five at any time

I thought he played once but could not remember the game

Not sure Huxford played that many games in Div 1 but then there was six years in Div 1 between the promotions so it was not surprising that only afew played in Div 1 So it really depends how long it takes to get to the Premiership.

I agree the ref was in a very good position to see what happened

That is how I see it too

The end of the Terry Paine era I think

Yes agree with you

I hope that was a joke Comparing Terry Paine with Lallana is nearly as ridiculous as comparing MLT with Pulis

I started watching Saints in the Season Reeves left so did not see him score many but according to other supporters he was a bit hit and miss and should have scored at least sixty with all the chances which came his way

How many penalties did Reeves score in that season

I do think Doddie has a point for a number of years success was avoiding relegation I must admit I prefer success to be a visit to Wembley But you are right success is relative

Probably agree with you not sure they are all shiite but not up to required standard plus Thomas is old?

I agree with you but after spending loads on players the results after the JPT game at St Mary's have been a little disappointing in general

Just interested to know how much is a manager responsible for results compared with the players. They always seem to get stick when if a player or players had played to his usual standard the team may have won.

Very True but I think we may do the double over Hartlepool

Never thought when Hartlepool were bottom of Div 4 for a number of years in the 1960/70s we would be playing them in the League:( one day

Make it 16501 as I am going for my monthly visit to St Mary's

Oh yes but I never really expected us to get to the playoffs

Are you saying that NC does not know what he is doing buying in expensive players? By the way I disagree Puncheon Fonte Jaidi Barnard Harding and Hammond have all played very well at most games this season So have Lallana Morgan and Davis We have the players but not the team

It is always the same lets get in a couple of new players and things will be fine;) We were all happy with the new players but results in general have not improved significantly Eleven League games in 2010 nineteen points Last Eleven League Games in 2009 twenty points About 82 points over the season pro rata

Prior to last nights game in the ten games in 2010 we got nineteen points which if it continued over a season would give us 87 points which would be good. I would expect in the next nine games to get at least the same number of points but I do think that the team is currently underperforming like it was at the start of the season

We are doing reasonbly well at the moment without putting many winning runs together. Hopefully the standard will not be as good next season and with luck we should be a force in League 1. I doubt we will do a Norwich but we should be at least in the Playoffs but we do need to have a good start to the season which we seldom do - Cannot remember the last time we won the First Game of the season
