Saint Fan CaM

Difficult - I think it's far too early to tell whether we could perform as good or better without him, so for now the answer is NO. However, do you drop an in-form player? No, unless you have a Directive from the Board from some reason, or the player himself requests to be rested for some reason.

I would like to think that we have the players and the team consistency to make a good go of it. However, one thing not mentioned so far is the state of many club pitches and how it favours a style of play (not really ours TBH). Someone said that Huddersfield have 5 of the top 6 clubs to play - well that might be better for them as the pitches will be in better condition. We're having to go to places where the pitch has been ravaged by a bad winter and no funds to repair them properly, meaning a tough playing surface. This will not suit our style of play and will cause the players to tire quicker meaning more subs (possibly leading to lack of consistency). It's not going to be easy atall - lots of obstacles, but I do hope that AP and his team are ignoring what might happen and staying focussed on winning. If that's the case then we'll have the best chance we could hope for and I for one will be happy with that alone this season.

If you added up all the time given over to Saints games all season on that show, you would be lucky to be able to make up 15 minutes. I just wait until its on i-player and fast forward to the clip of us (and perhaps a couple of other key games). Miss out all the other rubbish.

Great win! And that's off the back of a 1-4 loss to the mongs down the road. AP has done a great job bringing in all the right pieces of the jigsaw to make us a fantastic team - in fact the best team in this league.

AP really is the real deal Manager - he has put together all the right jigsaw pieces for this team to be a real force in this league and possibly right through the CCC too.

Saints trying to hold the ball up. Norwich still fouling - shocking challenge on Hammond - worse than sending off - and only a booking!!! Ref bottling it.

Come on Saints wrap it up with another goal to rub their dirty noses in it.

6 minutes of stoppage!!!!

Davis gets booked for time wasting. Why? Because Holt complains to the Ref! Who the hell is in charge of the damn game FFS?! Harding booked for kicking ball away.

Corner Norwich. Solent : Chanrai has taken control of Pimpley?!?

Hammond in the book - needs to be very careful now.

We ARE the best team in this league...and today proves it. Get in the play-offs and the top 6 will be crapping themselves now.

What a day out the Saints supporters are getting today. Well done to all those up there - awesome support.

8 minutes left. Saints fans are ollaying!!!

There you go Alps - that positive thinking stuff works y'know!

Barnie for the hatrick - gotta be.

Please Saints - keep it together. We can do 'em and get another on the break.

YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!! Barnie scores - Puncheon assist. Excellent day!!!!

Come on Alps - keep those positive vibes going - you know it makes sense.

Lallana hits the post AGAIN!!!!

Hammond dictating the game. Oh poop - Lallana hits post.

16mins left. Come on Saints - do this...please.

COYS!

Ref is starting to have a bit of a mare.

That's good - that's very good. lol
