Think to be fair his point is that, ok maybe not Beattie, but we should have bought in a big centre forward on loan as cover for Rickie. We have gambled on his fitness until January and barely a week after the window slammed shut we have lost that gamble. Some say sods law but we have gambled with the chance of mainting our place at the top of the league for me I'm sorry to say.

Yeah I agree, its not knee jerk at all. If you are top of the League and serious about promotion you should not be losing to teams at the bottom of the table who have only won one home game all season and not scored more than one goal in those home games. We are having a bad spell, with the exception of the second half against Brightion we have been poor since the last international break........oh and how many strikers that we have been linked with are gonna score against us FFS ? Sharp, Juke and Maynard......bloody hell.

I hope I am wrong but I think we will struggle big time without Rickie. Hope he is only out today, a few games sounds worrying.

If the opposition have a decent, quick right winger i would go with Harding, he is a better defender. If they haven't I would go with Fox.

:lol:

My God they are like a poor mans Bournemouth with their attitude to us. Least Bournemouth is close to Southampton geographically.

He's always just about the last one off, didnt see any difference to be honest.

And he's had a fair amount of competition for that description in recent years. Totally agree though......."I will never miss another one on one with a keeper" said BWP on a Thursday. the following Saturday, BWP through on goal, only the keeper to beat......yep he fkin missed, and continued to do so !

The poor guy, what could have been so bad in his life that he felt the only way out was to do that. terrible, terrible news. R.I.P.

Gutted with result, tweaked my knee hopefully not out to long will know more after scan! Hope to be back ASAP #fingerscrossed from the horses mouth ! Think all the cruciate ligament doom merchants can relax, hopefully.

I'm sure Nigel wont reveal anything in his after match interview, he never discusses injuries, so we probably wont know for a while.

We have just lost out first game in 9 after 4 straight wins.....this is real life football not bloody Football Manager 2012 ffs. The real bad news is Chaplow's injury.

I also think I am correct in saying that the family dont attend every game do they ? I thought that was pretty common knowledge. I mean I cant see them attending evening games for a start, so the reason the flag cannot be used for games not attended by the family is .......?

Indeed.

If I could be cynical for one moment, how do they feel about the regular "There's only one Markus Liebherr" chants then ?

Shame if we arent bringing anyone in, bit of a wasted opportunity. I hope it doesnt come back to bite us on the backside. But I said the same thing 1 September........

Simon Peach has tweeted that he is led to believe Saints move for Juke is a red herring as Coventry are looking to get more money out of Boro !!

I think as they had 4 central defenders out injured last Saturday and have now signed another its pretty fair to say that Jos does not feature in their plans.

To quote the great Del Trotter "we've had worse days" :-)

Dont that club ever get tired of being a fkin joke ? Yet another Football League cock up......had Hitler still been around he might have been able to own a football club under their guidlines !

No, he is the cleverest player we have at the club, he will always be useful to have around when fit.

Totally agree, and we will all know soon enough when that window slams shut on Thursday evening. At least if its between us and another club and the player has to decide we should be in with a decent shout this time :-)

For spells of a fair number of games we have played some sparkling stuff but for a whole game performance I too would go with Middlesborough.

Well wether he comes to us or not he has done us a little favour tonight. Thought Cardiff would have won that.

Exactly the same as they were last year at St Marys then, only difference is we have improved dramatically in 12 months and they haven't !
