Saint Fan CaM

Its more baking here in Rhodes than in the UK. HTH. Come on you Saints. 3-1 and top of the table retained.

Ah, all those super experts slating anyone with an opinion that questions Adkins decisions - who should pop up and score? De Ridder needs to play from the start - he DESERVES a start. Guly needs to get his act together from the bench. THATS ADKINS OWN SYSTEM.

Guly it seems has been pretty poor this evening and it's not the first game recently that he's sub-standard. De Ridder has come on - made an impact immediately - and now deserves a start. I think Adkins unfortunately made a mistake taking off Connolly tonight - should have been Guly.

Why do we NEVER seem to get anything from a corner? We have one of the most prolific scorers from heading the ball - two CB's with good heading abiity, yet the ball never seems to get to them!

We're not going to get anything out of this game now.

Cardiffs Manager did a good job getting his team to stifle our game. Too many loose balls from our players due to lack of confidence. We may be one of the best sides in the NPC, but we're nowhere near the finished article yet. Never mind - just got to put it all into the context of where we were two seasons ago.

Not quite - sounds like Guly has actually seen some of the ball but done little of use with it. Not hearing Lallana getting on the ball atall.

Really not convinced Guly deserves a starting place ahead of De Ridder. What is he doing?

Here we go...

Come on FFS Saints get a grip on the game.

Oh dear - complete waste of time.

Free kick at last 35-40 yards out.

Not having Hammond in midfield has had a surprising effect on Cork not being as effective and as a result, Connolly and Lambert are not seeing enough of the ball.

Cardiff have sussed our game and our defence is getting flustered trying to deliver the tactical plan. Oh poop - set piece - not good.

The other component needs to be in place as well as the finances - exposure in the Prem league and even Champions league. Not too long to wait hopefully.

Davis playing out from the back when he shouldn't once again... sort it out!

yes!

Sounds like it's a home game!

Listening on-line here in Rhodes - I think we could win this after the league went with us yesterday. Come on you Saints.

Agree with this - I think Hammond has proven his ability to deal with the type of team Cardiff will prove to be. However, I feel sure he will understand that with three games in quick succesion someone needs to be kept fresh at CM. I would suspect all four CM players will be very close to earning a place in the team.

Simply sickening OP - call yourself a Saint? Hang your head in shame along with anyone else associated with pedalling this rubbish.

Can't understand the switch of Hammond for Morgan. Not heard Lambert or Connolly's name as a part of any kind of attack for...well, all 2nd half I think.

Some weird changes by Adkins today. We need to get De Ridder on to get some pace to attack them more.

Hammond off for Morgan - "obviously a tactical change" so says Solent.

Burnley are sounding pretty strong to be fair, but it's all to do with Adkins decision to open up the wings to them. Now we don't have enough width.
