Very sad news, proper Hampshire legend. RIP.

I would imagine it helps that every pub team and their dog gets to qualify for next summer's tournament.

Weren't you one of those people who insisted that Coronavirus was all a hoax concocted by Bill Gates and the WHO to keep us locked down forever?

With Stewart's recurring injuries, Archer apparently out of favour and Downs... let's just be kind and say 'developing steadily', I'd say the need for a striker is clearly a pressing issue. Whether someone who can improve us is available, either on loan or within our budget, is a different matter. I'd say we're pretty well catered for everywhere else.

WTF, are you guys all High?

A year ago last night we drew 1-1 with Brighton to record our fifth point of the season. As of right now, Wolves have two.

He didn’t go full Prutton but it was a solid 80%. What an absolute helmet.

Poultry depending, he will be available. It's just the one game for collecting yellows.

He picked up a bad muscle injury, didn't he? AFAIK, that's the reason he's been out for a few weeks, not that the club don't rate him.

Well, what can I say. I'm not sure where this level of unpleasantness is being derived from but if I'm a 'bitter, argumentative prick' for sticking up for a Saints player than so be it. Have a lovely weekend fellar.

I’m willing to give him a lot more slack than Still for the simple reason that his team selection and subs were somewhat dictated to him by player availability. Downes and Charles were out, meaning Bragg had to start but at his age it’s never wise to play 90 minutes in consecutive weekends. After 75 minutes at Charlton, he was always likely to be brought off today too. An unfit Romeu really was the only option by that point. When Tonda starts bring on Stephens to replace Leo, when we’re only 1-0 up, then I’ll be more concerned.

Joe, on the off chance you’re reading this; I’m very that we’ve disturbed your weekend plans yet again. Please can you find it in your heart to forgive us.

Not a clue which game some of you were watching. I saw a keeper who kept us in a poor game with an excellent first half save and bailing out Wood from a dreadful back pass. The first goal was struck hard and low, unchallenged from the edge of the box, the third one was headed down through Mannings legs. Bazunu had no time to react to it and his view of the ball was completely obscured. Today is on the team and giving away the ball in silly areas, not the keeper.

Trying to keep level headed about it, I think we were just missing one player too many, away to a decent side. We fought hard and came up short, even if the performance was substandard. If Downes and Charles were available, Aribo and Romeu don't get onto the pitch. Then it's a completely different result. Leo is obviously THE big miss but Stewart and Jelert would also have been handy to bring on. C'est la vie, the test will be to see how Tonda reacts to this.

Azaz in the last four games would have won last seasons golden boot.
