If you could do that, we'd have got rid of Forecast years ago. As it is we have to either wait for it to expire (this summer I believe) or get someone else to buy or loan him out. Adkins has hinted at a loan, which is probably best for all concerned. Lee will do a decent job for someone, but I don't see it being a club with Premier League aspirations or status.

Want to see more of what our reserves can do, so would like to go a long way. On that basis a pretty crap team anywhere. If anything, I think playing at SMS can be detrimental to younger players. Making their debuts in front of 15,000 Saints fans is probably a lot more daunting that playing in a 1/4 full Ricoh Arena.

I know that was before Rickie signed, that's kind of my point. I don't think we've beaten anyone who wasn't a lower league cup game without Rickie starting, since he signed. First game of last season 1-0 defeat by Plompey Penultimate game of the previous season, 2-1 defeat at Gillingham Knocked out of the League Cup by Palace a couple of months ago, 2-0. Sure there are a couple more.

I think the last game we won without Rickie, against opposition in the same division, was Palace at home in April 2009. 1-0 win DMG scored. I could be wrong, but I think that is the case.

We had a thread slating him after Blackpool, some even wrote him off completely. Today he sounded at the very least to be a competant 'keeper. He dealt with some awkward balls in by the sounds of it and saved a decent 1 on 1 chance, despite having a pretty poor team in front of him for the first hour. Didn't here the taters mention any errors really. Congrats to him.

I'd have thought today was the best chance Holmes would get to start a game. As it happens we had JWP, Doble, Hoskins, Reeves and Stevens all playing some part, whilst Lee didn't even get off the bench. Does this indicate he could be on his way out perhaps?

Rickie who?

Get in there!!! Aaron Martin we think!! :D:D:D

Saints apparently "looking like a team against". Had a couple of half decent chances since the goal. Harding and Jos sounding pretty good IMO.

You're on the left. Alpine is on the right.

Get in the JWP!! :D :D

HE KNOWS!! Alpine will ingore all facts for the sake of a pathetic pointless argument. There is not point what-so-ever in discussing anything with him. You are wasting your time. PLEASE for your own sanity just put him on your ignore list.

Dwain Dibbly is the new nuns.

In in doing so, Man Utd have become perhaps the most universally hated team in the country. It's all part of the bigger plan to keep people on his side and against "The Devils".

He has a bit of a soft spot for Saints because his son used to play for us but he is a Villa fan, trust me.

God supports Aston Villa, no point asking him.

and I now have "sexy nun" in my search history.

Sorry, I know that was a bit rude, but if there's anything more irritating than alpine, it's everyone moaning about him, doing tedious impersonations or trying to engage in pointless arguments.

Wow, no sh*t. I've been wondering for ages where bears sh*t, any chance you can tell me.

Christ, why even bother responding to this muppet? You know exaclty what he's going to say, without fail. Put him on yoour ignore list, stop quoting him and stop clogging up my band width with alpine's endless drivel.

Bart out. Hope he never plays for us again FFS!!!

No you haven't.

I would have liked something a bit more permanent that that. Couldn't we have just sold him back to Brentford for what we bought him for. Anyway, good luck to the lad.

He has become a bit like Top Gear recently. Plenty of tongue in cheek, faux-discrimination but none of it was particularly funny. Sad if he's going through hard times, but Baj has a point.

I actually think Skacel would be a half decent sub to bring on for 20 mins. Calm down I'm not actually suggesting we should try.
