We can't deal with the issue, only NA and the players can do that. Our job is to support them for 90 minutes of every game and trust that those people who actually can influence the team's destiny find a way to deliver on our expectation of them.

Alpine's postings are the most predictable part of this season.

What hurts for me is conceding 2 goals to somebody called ALF wearing PINK boots ( FFS ) !

We could have had 3 before they got their first gift, and forget the third, conceding in added time when chasing an equaliser is just rubbing salt in the wounds. For most of the match we dominated and they defended in depth, we managed plenty of clear chances on goal but didn't quite have the sights set correctly; the early deflection off Gorkss could have crept in by the post, Jos had 2 or 3 clear unmarked headers, as did Adam, plus his cross/chip which just got tippped over. I do think we became a bit predictable late on, how many deep crosses to the far post came in from the right hand side whilst they had everybody behind the ball ? Overall, if we can put in this level of performance in the last 3 games I can't see a problem with acheiving automatic promotion, and we could even get 3 wins, and remember, after Brighton, Wet Sham still have to go away to Brizzle and Leicester.

We will beat Posh and it then won't look half as bad. Come on you Seagulls !

Agreed - though I bet a few on here will say we've blown it.

Match stats from the BBC : 10 shots to 2, 6 on target to 1, 3 corners to 1 Play the second half the same way it will come good. And the worst case scenario - it will still be in our control for the last 3 games. Chins up, chests out, we can beat this lot - WE ARE THE SAINTS !

Some chap built it as a hybrid based on a real M16. http://www.likecool.com/DeWalt-16_Nail_Gun--Tools--Gear.html "It can drive a 6-D nail thru a 2 X 4 at 200 yards"

Would they be AA's fantasy entries, used to dilute HMRC's original percentage ?

It's my birthday soon, and I'm thinking of asking for a nail gun ;

At least !!!

Exactly. I reported it at the time, to my son, as them scoring with the last kick of the game. I thought the ref would blow the whistle almost immediately we restarted.

Judge by the previous ten then.

I hope Alpine doesn't read that ! That run of results would ruin his week.

Exactly, so chill out a little.

Don't you realise, unless we've won 5-0 you aren't allowed to open a 'positive' post-match thread ?

Have you seen the league table ? Who are the teams that Reading and Wet Sham have failed to beat ?

We are 4 points and 9 goals better off than Wet Sham, so 'one round' of matches won't change things. And as for the 'downward spiral', before Blackpool we had 8 wins and 2 draws from 10 games.

Jeez - 11 men in red and white shirts spent 98 minutes kicking a leather ball around a patch of grass, playing against another 11 in blue shirts. THAT'S ALL. It was a game of football, - no earthquakes, no floods, no plagues of locusts, yet some people seem to think it's the end of the world. Come the end of the season, whether promoted or not, life will continue. And then, in August it all starts again. How many of the wrist slitters will be back on here on match day 1, whichever division we are in, waiting for the first chance to write off the next 9 months ?

The next few days will show how good Nige is at his job. Keep the Faith.

Good - Billy Sharp 4 goals in 3 games Bad - Rickie isn't fit , couldn't thrash the DCFSBs Positive - we are top of the league Being honest - it was always going to be rough, especially after losing Spiderman so early, their 2nd was a fluke 'wonder strike' Opportunity to seal the season - Reading on Friday the 13th

We are still top - if we match Reading for the last 5 games we will be fine.

4 not 6.

"Fair play to Roy Hogdson for lending them players " ? WTF, they are CHEATS !!!!!
