Ramirez as wasteful as ever. Sometimes shows signs of something but he adds nothing to us, Davis has been more effective over the season and the right wing position was wasted, punch or Lallana should have started but the team did well to shine in a scrappy game.

Gaston on the wing ahead of Lallana and punch? Never seen hum play well on either wing and don't see the logic.

I think we can aim to emulate what west brim have done this season. Top half finish certainly should be the aim.

This lad is unbelievable, don't know how people can look at this and prefer others. He is the real deal and with him in goal I think we can really push forward next season.

Even if saints stoke and Qpr win this weekend I'd still say no. Would be a perfect weekend but even then only 7 points. I just think we are due a bad week of results, not had one in a while.

Nige certainly has a better record in the 'basement battles' winning twice against villa, once against reading and one against Qpr. Wigan was early so the only blemish was Sunderland. Poch has only got 1 point from Wigan and Qpr. He seems more of a man for the big dogs.

I think this is the fixture reading will be most up for all season. Think they have a dislike for us after last yar and they know a win could have them back in it and we are one of their most winnable games. They'll approach this like the game at sms last season. We have to find a way to slow the pace early and exert our superiority. One of those games I have a bad feeling about but with j rod playing as he is, I think he could well do to them what let fondre did to us.

Craig Gardner. Rb/cm. Athlete, good striker of the ball. All rounder for the squad.

Was the drop ball contested yesterday? Wasn't shown on the highlights.

We could be at the magic 40 after the next 2 games. Great chance for 4 wins on the bounce.

They'll more than likely sing championees. Just follow that with going down. No comeback to the facts.

Rodriguez dived in a 6 pointer, Lambert scored vs Norwich after a handball. These come immediately to mind. Don't think we can moan when we get a bad decision as it evens out. Fact is we got a poor decision and Boruc saved the pen. I like that our manager cares enoughigh as referees need telling when they have deliberately affected the game when not 100%. Also that journalist is sh1t.

To be honest Norwich weren't at the races. Gaston has not shown his 12m potential at all this season and is not made for a relegation scrap. It's no coincidence he wasn't playing when we beat man city, where Davis was very good. This will need to be a similar performance, grind out a result, get in the faces of a bredan Rodgers side. Sorry but Ramirez not for me.

Thought Ramirez showed no bite, no creativity and never looked for an easy pass. His touch was good and his burst from midfield for the chip was decent but he offers less than Davis right now. As for Rodriguez, he is pacey and has improved going forward. However, he gives so many fouls away and tackles like a striker. Lallana is a better tackler, just needs to track back more but think he will work well with Shaw.

1st 7 pick themselves omitting jos as he cannot deal with the trickery of the like of Suarez. I would go punch Davis Lallana Lambert. Ramirez has not had a good game since 1st half vs Everton and is a waste of a player. Been impressed with j rod however we need to counter that skate Johnson going forward and j rod is an awful tackler. Lallana to occupy him. J rod Gaston and Mayuka gives us great attacking options on the bench. I feel quietly confident...

Completely agree. Although stays say we had 14 odd shots, the only time he had a chance that we SHOULD have scored was Lallana skying it after Ramirez missing the near post cross. Otherwise, as you say the chances we ones that bunn did well to save but would be expected to save. A counter attack when we nick the ball in midfield is definitely when we look more dangerous.

Quality Boruc but the possession and shot stats show we dominated them. If we go down we won't look back on one game but all of them? Most points dropped from winning positions, should have won so many games but we are the least clinical side in the league. 2 saving tackles from yoshida, instinct of a cb playing at th but poor going forward. What foes punch have to do to put Ramirez out of the side he is useless.

So far it's between Ramirez and the ref for worst start to the game. Ramirez just does not look bothered.

I would expect a massive reaction after last week. They won't need telling that performance wasn't good enough. I don't know who is doubtful for this game but as long as fox is the only one out I think we can take this to Norwich and win.

On a completely different note, I predict we will turn norwih over next week.

Worst performance of the season not a half decent game from any of them. We seem to bottle the big games.

I love to watch Southampton, Come out with a win, And when we do, It's partly due, To cork and schneiderlin. (To the old posh spice, beattie and ormerod tune).

Forren left back? Confidence taken a massive hit now that Shaw won't play and fox could well be involved.

Boruc Clyne Fonte Yoshida Shaw Cork Schneiderlin Punch Davis Lallana Lambert Davis Jos Forren Jwp Ramirez J rod Mayuka Our vest chance if winning is beating them in the midfield scrap. Ramirez goes missing there and Davis won't. Punch is our most dangerous midfielder and was ur best player up at their place. No fox or Richardson. If Shaw goes off, either Clyne to lb, cork rb, Davis in and Gaston or j rod on, or f he is comfortable forren straight in, remove the temptation of fox as a straight swap. Don't fancy jos v Remy, we look good with fonte and yoshida, hope fonte isn't rusty.

Ramirez contender for worst signing of the season. We lose everything good about our team when he comes on. Don't get me started on fox.
