Think we could make do without a striker, but a CB is an absolute necessity. Seaborne is starting ahead of Martin and Seaborne is not really the level we need to partner Fonte.

What big boys they were goading the Millwall from behind police lines. Pathetic.

I don't understand this big love-in for Schneiderlin TBH. He's good and it's great he's on the bus, but Cork, Chaplow and even Hammond are more effective at the moment. Even Adkins says he COULD be the best midfielder in the league, but doesn't give him a start - I guess he means when he's worked harder at getting more consistency in his game.

I think you could apply that to most threads! lol

You going to hand out songsheets to everyone then?

Ting tong.

Exactly.

So what? I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say there - that flag is owned in a large part by everyone who donated. In terms of how often, a good start would be for it to come out at least once when I and most other supporters attend...i.e. a league game. After that I personally would like to see it at the start of every home game. Even on the memorial game it was displayed in the Chapel with no supporters to hold it aloft and frankly I thought that looked a bit lame. If a football flag is not hoisted up a flagpole, it should be held aloft by supporters IMO.

It's true we've been winning - I can't disagree with that. However, I've watched him and he is not performing at the same level as his teammates and not at a level that I believe he is actually capable of. We have substitute players all over the team that are supposed to place pressure on teammates to raised standards. If Guly is getting picked whatever his performance that system will soon break-down.

Absolutely. Pleased to see he's probably injured for the game tomorrow - no disrepect to the lad - just know that he would score against us.

I love the way you ask a question and then presume an answer! Do Liverpool only get their big flags out once a season? It's only a flag FFS - shows a bit of passion for the club and it's saviour. No harm done.

The JCL's are back. I know this because the hand towels in the gents have run out before the end of half-time. I would reckon on 25-26k tomorrow. Millwall will be bringing a big crowd.

We need Mike to come on here and keep us updated. In fact I would ask the MODs to put this up as a sticky for the time being so we can collectively keep tabs on any developments. Given many here donated a substantial amount of money, I would suggest a mini campaign to get the club to respond and hopefully get the flag displayed at home games would be more than appropriate.

Guly has not really earnt a starting place IMO and yet De Ridder has looked very sharp, so I reckon he deserves a start at home this Saturday.

Where is it? Why is it not being displayed at home games? Why did many of us bother donating when we've never seen it 'in the flesh'? Discuss.

Why pray tell? It seems to make no sense whatsoever.

I take it no-one knows the answer this then? Amazing.

Matchday eating...starts with a full English and a cup of tea. Get to town about 10.30am...get a McD supersize with fries, full-fat Sprite. Walk to pub...have as many pints as possible...walk to ground while eating a bacon and cheese roll. Watch 1st half...get pint and pie at half-time...watch 2nd half. Go to concourse, have a pint and a packet of crisps. Go to pub and have 4-5 more pints. Go home and prepare a salad for dinner - after all one's got to watch one's diet. (;

What I really hate is a flag that I've helped pay for but never seen in the ******* flesh! PS: When exactly is the Markus flag going to be displayed at a league home game?

I doubt very much that we will sign another striker. Beckford would be a good signing for us, but for many reasons it's just not going to happen. Barnie will be back soon and then we'll see what he's made of in the NPC.

This.

Didn't think we'd be starting this well for sure. I am feeling very confident with each passing match, not just because of the scorelines and points, but because the players are quite clearly learning very quickly from each successive game to improve for the next. Not only that, but Adkins preparation and in-game tactics are absolutely spot on. The squad mentality and spirit seems to be second to none too. Overall, we've not seen as good a set-up at Saints for...well, decades IMO. VERY exciting times ahead.

Fantastic win - just awesome. And believe me, they will have learnt a massive lesson tonight about the quality they'll be up against in terms of keeping hold of leads. It looked to me that all of a sudden Rickie has the confidence to take on defences and score on the run - where did THAT come from?! Scheiderlin all of a sudden is on the edge of the box making a decisive, world-class through ball assist pass of pin-point accuracy. This was more than just a magnificent win - this provided the team with answers to questions they probably hadn't even thought of asking! So proud of the team and I truly believe Adkins is the man that can take us to the Prem and re-establish us back at the top of the game.

We need a new CB to shore up central defence. That is all we need - we can score goals, but we can leak 'em too against the better teams.

Oh yeeeeesssss!!!! Five of the ******* best!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
