If 201 is hard day in the field I don't think Hampshire will mind Four wickets for both Dawson and Edwards No Berg is he injured

Like most on here not very good at predicting results. Many think it is easy buying in players and getting them to perform consistently like predicting results it is not easy. However I think we should have signed a couple of experience players to help the youngsters and close down games

Top of the League http://www.espncricinfo.com/table/series/8052/county-championship-division-one May go on Monday

Probably one of our best PL positions I would have thought

We got Toby on loan when he had the chance for him to come here he chose Spurs I think you have to be realistic top close defenders do not want to come here. Yes Lovren and VVD turned out well but they were not expensive and wanted to develop in the PL which I think is what Hoedt wanted to do when he signed as he was a Dutch international. Fonte was bought in Div 1 and like Morgan and Lallana developed with us. It is easy to say we should get in top CBs but which ones were available and have wanted to come here in the last 18 months. Like me you have no idea who the club has targeted I still think our main problem is the academy as we have not developed any top class regular PL players in the last five years just like what happened when we were relegated in 2005

It is all well and good saying not replacing with a top class defender but who and where was one coming from. Of course theoretically you are right but practically it was impossible to do. Top class CBs are like rocking horse **** and would not want to come to SFC. Fonte VVD and Lovren were not top class when they arrived and each cost less than Hoedt Like wise Mane and Pelle cost less than Boufal and Redmond Recruiting players is not a science some are good but most do not fit in

A good start to the season I would have thought but the team needs to sort out the second opener

I am a fan of both LM and TP but I feel TP like MLT and Rickie Lambert did more in helping SFC getting to where it is today. LM provided the best day of my life helped by a helpful Cup draw and many memories at the Dell and elsewhere

A delusional post quite agree with Lord Duckhunter above don't you realise football is a job to players and they will move to achieve success and more money. Why do you think Tadic Boufal Cedric Redmond etc join SFC

Perhaps VVD wanted to go to a great club with passionate supporters which has great success over the last 50 years or more.

I agree but because the team is **** it does not mean all the players are ****

I agree with you the team v West Ham was shocking 4 4 2 was disaster this one is better balanced especially away from home but luckily Arsenal are more interested in the Europa Cup unsurprisingly I always thought a point against WH would have been a good result lets hope we hang on today at least we have had a little luck today with Arsenal's bad defending

All things are possible but most are highly unlikely statistically we had one great escape but because it was great I don't really seeing it happening again. We can only survive if we start winning and we can only win if we score goals so lets hope it starts in a few hours but it is not the end of the world there is always the FA Cup and next season

I don't think it is particularly a good way to run a company to listen to a bunch of mostly unreasonable supporters who have little idea of why certain decisions were made

Very true Soggy I have been supporting SFC and Hampshire since 1960 will continue to do so for as long I am live. Live near Reading now I am very supportive of all the locals who support Reading and are going through a bad spell but they like us have had good times recently

If our ****ing strikers cannot score any ****ing goals it is not surprising we are going to get relegated.

I agree with you Duckie the bloke and his cult are on the way out I hope

Corbyn is not the prime minister in waiting he seems to be a socialist orator with little skill in how to run the country surrounded by a cult some of whom appear pretty nasty and do not tolerate other views. I am a Labour Party Member but for how long I am not sure

Not leaving the EU would be even better and sensible news as suggested by most sensible people

But very true never the less and if he was the WBA manager no doubt you would agree

Yes I agree too In the first half there just seemed to be more Wigan players wherever the ball was

Just because we beat Wigan of League 1 I am not at all confident we will be in the PL next season as we have hardly any winnable games in the next few weeks and strikers who cannot score goals. But hope I am completely wrong

Movement allowing Hojberg to score the first goal

I have now received confirmation from a well placed FCO source that Porton Down scientists are not able to identify the nerve agent as being of Russian manufacture https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/03/of-a-type-developed-by-liars Tories are only interested in doing what is best for the Tory Party
