Totally agree.

you may not rate him, obviously, but you can not say he makes no effort. That is just plain wrong. Watch a few videos on saints player and see the amount of closing down he does and chasing the ball down, particulalry earlier in the season when NA used to mention it constantly.

I hope so just to shut a lot of people up and get them off his back.

So sorry to hear your sad news. Hope the lads can put a smile back on your face over the next few weeks.

We haven't played anything like as well since the end of November as we did in the first 3 months of the season. Now wether that is due to heavier pitches in part i have no idea but the idea of going back to passing the ball quicker and getting at the opposition instead of playing a lot of what WGS used to call propoganda football in the last 6 matches aint a bad one.

you are really something very special aren't you ? If you haven't just said that as a wind up then you have absolutely no place watching football, try another sport, bowls maybe. Pathetic statement.

He isnt as bad as some think, its as simple as that

He is/was, but I assume he isnt out for the season, it was only a bang in the knee after all, according to NA.

Not sure how a guy who scored 2 well taken goals just last week can be short of confidence, that doesn't make much sense to me. He was awful yesterday, no point denying that but so was everyone else. If its true about Tadanari Lee being out then Billy, Guly and Connolly have to come in and do a job. They are all capable.

From what Adkins said in the pre match interview I doubt he travelled.

Dont waste your time, they will both lose.

I think the BBC commentary team had it right and that where we were playing after the other games and knowing we were 6 points clear of third we kind of took our eye off the ball and no harm was done with a defeat.

So you want to carry on speculating until you finally believe the club or see him run out next Saturday do you ?

I cannot think of one single player who came out of that performance with any credit today. Everyone was dreadful and I dont think there has been another instance of that for the past 18 months. I just hope Richardson, Connolly, Lambert and Lee, or at least three of them, are back next week. No width, no pace, no control, no defence just plain awful. A big kick up the backside I hope.

I sincerely hope today was the kick up the backside that any of the players who thought they were already promoted needed.

Unfortunately I have to agree with all of this.

In order - Possibly & Bull****

He's playing today, only missed one game.

He has been crap apart from the first couple of games back. I wouldnt hold out much hope for Puncheon doing much for us for the rest of the season.

Thats interesting.....and rather comforting :-)

This. And thats assuming West Ham and Reading win all their games after today......one of them might, both of them ? Very very unlikely. We can afford to lose 2 games as things stand. I fully expect one of them to be today in all honesty.

Yeah...from you. Happy Birthday Markus, and thankyou once again.

Dunno but the work shy so and so has posted a pic on twitter of him, Cork and Fox enjoying an ice cream on Bournemouth sea front this afternoon so Staplewood is gonna take ages if he keeps on doing that

I dont really understand why so many people are getting overly excited at West Ham winning at the fortress that is Peterbro......thats the Peterbro we still have to go to isn't it ? They are 6 points behind us now, same number of games, play Reading on Saturday both of whom have much harder run ins than us. Relax, nobody seriously thought it would be so easy that we would be 12 points clear of third on Saturday night surely.....

I think West Ham will beat Peterbro.......I wouldn't however like to predict what might happen when they play Reading on Saturday. We have breathing space, remember whatever happens 4 wins out of the 7 games will see us up, obviously it would be better they come sooner rather than later but you can bet Reading and West Ham would both give everything to be in our position.
