However you frame it, the fact still remains that our performances in all but 1 of our televised games has been sub par. Can it be a coincidence? Hope so.

I actually thought he was ****, I just don't wanna be called a racist Seriously though he worked hard today, but was let down by the (lack of) movement up top and the snail like counter attacking from midfield.

My ratings: Davis 6 Butterfield 2 Fonte 5 Hooiveld 4 Fox 3 Lallana 3 Schneiderlin 7 Cork 5 Chaplow 2 (De Ridder 4) Guly 6 Sharp 4 People will point out the positives from today and rightly so, we are still leading the race, 6 points clear of WHam and a really good points return from March. BUT today was completely unacceptable from everyone, bar maybe Morgan and Guly. The players need to be made aware of this, and then we can draw our friend the blue line.

Come on then, let's get it over with. Awful performance, but still in the box seat.

True, and it is by no means the end of our season. But that doesn't take away the fact that today's performance has been completely unacceptable. Blackpool aren't anything special, just well organised, more dynamic and seem to want it more.

When we attack it is painfully slow

Still in the driving seat for autos but on today's performances you have to make Reading favourites for the title.

Kick it long, kick it long, kick it long....

Movement upfront is appalling

Whatever happens in the next half an hour, or indeed the next 6 games, the fact remains that this first hour has been completely unacceptable.

Usually I'd be sitting here still thinking we will get something out of this, but it just feels different. Come on Saints, prove me wrong. We need a big impact from whichever subs come on.

Haha so we can blame you then!

Think Morgan's the only player to come out of that half with any credit personally!

Everything we do is so unbelievably slow. We really do struggle when we're on TV, explain it however you want but we need to sort it out.

This is dire

3 points would give us a massive massive step to the PL now. 9 points clear of 3rd with 6 to play will surely be too much. Barnard to come off the bench and grab a late winner I reckon.

The lead piping I think.

I hope the players have a different mentality to you lot! Otherwise they may as well not turn up! Come on, you know what he means. Bar Leeds at home, our performances have been pretty poor against Reading, Pompey, Leeds away and Leicester. I'm not sure about 'TV curse', but it is an interesting coincidence.

Really good interview that. It's always nice to hear NC sounding so positive.

Yes please!

Got 3 tickets in the Chapel today. Can't wait!

Up: Saints, Reading, Brighton. Same reasons as everyone else, it's time we put South Coast football back on the map, it would **** off all my pompey supporting mates, and would show how building a team slowly is much more successful than the West Ham approach. Down: Wigan, Blackburn and Bolton. I like Martinez and Kean but hate how badly supported their clubs are. I'm also sick of my Man Utd season ticket holder housemate going on about a 'football powerhouse' in the North West. For this reason I'd also like Bolton to go down, but I think Wolves are gone already. Still, would be great to replace three scummy northern towns' teams with two decent southern cities' teams. And Reading.

This 100 times over

I can see Peterborough winning tonight. 1-0 to the Posh!
