Yep, this title race should be over bar the shouting by now. We beat all the big teams and lost to the likes of Bristol City and Doncaster.

With all due respect, looking at our treatment table the past few months, if the doubts arent already there, they never will be.

Well, imho it will a long, long time before we get such a good opportunity to secure promotion to the PL again, maybe even longer than NC and the Liebherrs are willing to give this project.

Playing for other clubs or on the treatment table.

Whats with the abuse ? It has been on the cards most of this evening.

Quelle Surprise. what p*sses me off is that if tw*ts like me can see it, why cant one after another experienced Saints manager see it and do something about it. F**king wake up all of you, our season has run out of steam. City scoring and us having left our shooting boots at home has been on the cards since about 20mins into the first half.

Hush with your touchiness, I quite like Chester. Nice old Roman town.

Cows *rses and banjos spring to mind.

What level of confidence do you have that our away form is going to improve ?

By 4 points, which will be 1 point tomorrow. How on earth can you be satisfied with that ? This is a home game, not an away game at some sh*te Northern sh*thole.

Yes. For a while it makes matters worse, but then everyone starts understanding and building confidence and can fit in for each other. Look at what happened with Bart the other week FFS. Maybe he should have played against Pompey; hows he ever going to put that Blackpool game behind him otherwise ?

If Connolly is fit, he should be brought on for SDR and Goolie should drop back. Give him 20mins to run at them and make holes.

Had to happen sooner or later.

We are 24hrs from the window opening. I want to see NC doing his business immediately and stop all the poovery like made during the summer. If he thinks next season will present a better chance of completing his 5 year plan than being top at new year this season, he's cracked.

My fear too. These sort of games are unacceptable. The manager has to get consistency out of his team.

I said performance, not result.

Its what happens when you only use about 13 players in the first team and one of them gets injured. Lambert, Lallana, Chaplow and now Fonte have all missed games and its massively affected the performance.

We aint going to score all night, mate. Its "one of those games"..

What a load of namby-pamby passionless drivel.

Come on, show of hands...who deep-down really doesnt think this is going to be "one of those nights". And the longer this dross goes on, up goes the chances of City nicking it.

The amount of chances we've had, combined with out absolutely f**king dismal conversion rate, means we aint gonna score all night even after the City team coach leaves and the groundsmen leave the floodlights on.

I am sick to f**king death of reading this inane winsome b*llocks on here. This is supposed to be one of our easier games for the next two months.

I thought we could play well against this and struggled with physical in-your-face teams ?

So, nearly HT, and its clear we are not up for it nor interested. NA has a break coming up to change things; what can he do ??

Who can we send on to turn our tactics upside down ?
