Oh..is this a thing?! Might have to pay and post more next season now that I have a couple more Midlands games to get to. Always liked @ChristopheVAFC's posts over the season with updates on overseas stuff, well played and keep up the good work. League 1 minus 10 match reviews are still the highlight of the football season, win, lose or draw, so keep up the good work everywhere Saints fans. We're not the best, we're not the worst, but we do it the right way. F the Club World Cup...how long until Pep bemoans the amount of matches played...I give it until October....14th to be precise just in case there's a sweepstake 😁

I'm Still not sure if this is the right decision by the club but Willing to reserve judgement until the first 5 minutes of the first pre-season friendly against a team in Europe I've never heard of before. 😉 Was thinking Rohl would be good however after reading the expert anal sys on here, I'm quite hopeful that we may have finally got the right person in this time. Up the Saints Forever. 😇

Tall Paul scoring at Forest! He might be my second favourite Saints player ever behind Ostlund. Yes, my criteria for favourite players is skewed but we all have our faves. Cannot wait for Derby v Saints next season, can jump on a bus for £3 from home and actually see Saints play live. Got to take the small wins after such a poor season. Wish KWP was staying. Such a consistent professional for us.

Just watched the extended highlights and it looked to me that Mr Ramsdale might quite like playing for Saints. At the end, he looked chuffed to bits and was celebrating with the fans, acknowledging the support. Is there any chance in the world we could actually persuade him to stay? 🤞

Smallbone winner!

Same here, deliberately not watching as every time I find a stream the opposition usually score. Staying well away today.

Tall Paul brace in the final 10 mins, a Doku consolation on 92 mins, we see out the remaining 10 mins of injury time with no issues or pressure. Compact defence protecting the lead - 3 points to Saints! 😂

2-1 to Saints. Heard it here first. What's that Nurse? Back to my room now. OK.

We didn't lose? Yay 😁

There's no urgency in anything we do. We take an age to take throw ins, we never cross into the box even when we have the tallest player in the league in there. We lose the ball so easily and still rather pass back and sideways instead of forwards. It's ridiculous, when you're needing a goal and your playing around at the back. You're never going to score in your own penalty area. So disappointing.

😁 Yes, I am liking what I'm seeing.

Thought he controlled quite a few actually. There was one beautiful trap and pass towards the end. Rather him than pinball Armstrong.

Thought both new signings had a decent half. THB looks a liability to be perfectly honest, lots of wayward passes and stupid tackles. I find a few things annoying, mainly the amount of time we take for throw ins and the lack of crossing still. Get the ball in the middle for the 6ft 8inch striker to attack please.

I remember the 2-5 game really well. I was in a Super 8 in Houston and kept having to run to reception to check the score on the customer desktop PC (this was before wi-fi was everywhere days) and couldn't believe it. I have a sneaky feeling about this one as well. Think we'll weather the storm and take some points here. Going for 1-3. It has to click at some time, surely!?

Disagree, from what little I've seen of Manning play, he seems to be improving and has been pretty decent since Juric came in. Think he is a decent professional and is stepping up. Bree also seems to be playing at a higher level.

Thought much the same as everyone else at the match yesterday who has posted their thoughts. First half was atrocious. Armstrong did nothing, Downes was a liability and our lack of tackling as their players ran at our defence allowed them to get into decent shooting positions. For the 2nd, thought Bedders was fouled at the game but since seeing the highlights, ref got that one right. Thought Ramsdale was at fault for the 3rd at the game but was a bit harsh after watching it back, though he really got lucky with the 4th non-goal. We looked so much better with Downes off. Ugo took control of the match and played a blinder. Kept it tight at the back with some great defensive work but also drove up the pitch to help in attack. This freed Aribo up a little more and he grew into the game. Great for Tall P to score, really good header, thought he added a dimension when he came on, along with Sully; pace and height/strength on the pitch at the same time. Fernandes was good but he needs to be a little more controlled and not lose his rag when the whistle goes....though the ref was terrible yesterday. Think Archer is not being given the right tools to do a job for us. Think putting him alongside Armstrong is limiting what he is able to do and is unfair as I think he has a lot more about him and with the right service could be a decent player for us. I was surprised at how much time wasting went on by the Forest players. So much time taken for throw ins (which we're so guilty of as well), lining up free kicks and rolling around on the floor injured for ages. Glad it all got added up to 12 minutes and would've been very happy to see us equalise and the time wasting blow up in their faces. Exciting 2nd half but still another check in the 'plucky loss' column. Surely we must be able to grind out a win soon!

Live just over an hour's walk from the ground. To get there I have to walk along Southampton St and go past St Mary's gardens, surely good omens for today...2-0 Forest! 😁

I know it is only against Championship opponents but we look decent. Has the Juric effect clicked in?

Great game so far from Sully, where's this player been all season?

I had Match Day 2 on the Amstrad CPC464 with colour monitor. Then Kick Off 2 took over...great games!

Was only a yellow but he's picked up 5

We'll end up with Ward-Prowse 😉

Forest? 😉

Living in Nottingham, I was surprised but happy to be able to get general sales tickets for this. First game I've been able to get tickets for this season. Hoping we're a bit more competitive by then and beat the stupid tricky trees. Would be great to be able to laugh at my work colleagues in the event of a rare win to the Saints.

But the big question has to be... ...Is Brooks cup tied? 😁
