And thereby lies the problem. Lambert is crap when he ventures out wide. What is the point, he has no pace and the big centre forward that defenders in this league hate isnt in the bloody middle. Second half, when the subs came on, Lambert played more like last season, in other words leading the line, in the middle of the park, not on the wing !

Well the Stephens was pretty anonymous statement comes from the fact he is not Brian Howard, and derry likes Brian Howard...a lot :-) The more reasonable summary was that Stephens came on and was very calm, kept the ball moving, passed to our players and looked a decent little player.

Did he actually touch the ball between the first and second goal or were his goals literally his first two touches ? Cos if they were I dont think I have ever seen a sub do that before......and I've been watching this club since 1976.

I like Chaplow but I would start with Dale Stephens on Tuesday night and drop Chappers to the bench.

I'm guessing nobody joined in with that :-)

Yeah, not alone did he say HOME game as has been pointed out but Brighton will be promoted by the time we go there, not exactly gonna care are they ? Besides our record at Brighton isnt too bad over the years.

I kinda like the way they keep forgetting us.......just go about our business quietly without any fuss :-)

Unfortunately that is all too true, its not like we haven't done it before is it ?

So they have failed to win their last 3 games which by that arrogant git Fergies target means they have to win all 7 of their remaining games !

The 4-1 v Liverpool as mentioned several times above The 4-0 v Spurs in Cup again as above The 6-3 v Man Utd as above plus for me Saints 4 - 1 V Notts Forest in 1979 - Phil Boyer scored two, we were fantastic that day. Saints 5 - 5 V Coventry in 1982 Saints 8 - 2 V Coventry in 1984 I think it was.

Our leader does have a wonderful if not slightly strange turn of phrase sometimes. Sounds like he's talking about a faulty computer or something.

What a short memory you have.

Lets just quietly go about the job in hand, never mind a bloody commentator on Sky ! In last Mondays Peterbro game he said THREE bloody times that Posh had come from 3 down against us !! To make the mistake once is bad enough but FFS, 3 times !

Fantastic day, loved every minute of it :-) I miss Papa and Antonio. I think thats been the difference this year. With those two coming off the bench you never knew what to expect. There is very little to change things this year when its not going well. The excitiement of them being so unpredictable is whats missed I think.

Another vote for Fonte here too !

No, 2. The injury was last Tuesday.

I didnt bother to follow the games tonight, I wrote them off as an MK win and a Peterborough win. Great surprise switching on to find out they both dropped points. I expect Huddersfield to win on Sunday but they would only be 5 points in front having played 3 games more. Its all looking good.......surely we wont screw this up........will we ?

Something we never take his advice on it must be said :-)

Cue Adkins telling Solent we have no plans to bring anyone in then !

Westin knows the family, he reported it is a groin injury, thats as accurate as we are going to get I reckon.

He didnt go on the team coach then ? :-)

Difficult to say with Peterbro and Huddersfield having to play each other and other top teams but I dont think you are too far away with that to be honest.

I know conceeding late is a bummer BUT anyone would think we lost and hadnt won a game for a month !

Exactly, it seemed quite urgent after the Bournemouth game according to NA then just over a week later we didnt need anyone. Wonder what he is saying now ? I would go and get a decent midfielder and Antonio if Chambo is going to be out for a while cos he still isnt getting off the Reading bench. If we make do how bare is our bench going to be if Lallana and Chambo are out ?

So with the injuries to Lallana and Chambo does anyone still think we dont need to go and get a midfield player in on loan before Thursday's deadline ?
