Player ratings ( IMHO ) Kelvin 6, looked uncertain with their lump of a CF in his face and not really communicating with the centre backs when PNE scored, but did make a couple of crucial recovery saves in the second half Cork 6, the whole defence were very rocky at times in the first half, but second half they gained in confidence and by the end were in control Lancashire 6, marked down for the general indecision leading to their goals, again much better in the second half Pearce 7, the best defender and scored a thumping goal Skacel 5, very poor distribution particularly in the first half Thomson 7, again a much better second half, and quite a threat when going forward Spiderman 7, midfield looked solid and competitive, with good passing and distribution Surman 7, brilliant goal - better celebration Smith 5, anonymous James 5, ditto DMG 6, I know he scored and had a couple of good attacking runs late on, but he should be prosecuted under the Trades Descriptions Act if he claims to be our number one striker - he was clueless in the first half subs... BWP 7, still can't shoot but provided a lot of the drive that turned things around Gobern 7, could have / should have scored, maybe needs a bit of composure but a real threat Gillett 5, didn't have much to do, but didn't do it very well Manager 7, showed some guts with the substitutions and obviously fired the players up after the break. If only we could start a game in the manner we finished this one. MOM the fans - proud to have been a part of it, never gave up singing, never gave up hope. Absolutely brilliant.

When their second one went in and we started singing "We're gonna win 3-2" I thought it was a wee bitty optimistic ! First 20 minutes was even, with the usual Saints midfield passing game, but then they started using their muscle up front and the centre of our defence looked decidedly dodgy. So it was same old same old, couldn't score and couldn't defend. The substitutes at half time made all the difference. BWP and Gobern provided movement width, and pace, and we looked like we knew what we were doing in their half, and actually started getting bodies in the box. The last thirty minutes of the second half were as good as the last twenty of the first half were poor. Will the REAL Saints FC please stand up ? COYR

I was there :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

When the idiots come round I stand at the front door, holding our biggest dog by the collar, with her bouncing up and down and barking her head off, then offer them my own 'trick or treat'; the treat being I'll give them a headstart back to the front gate, the trick being I'm probably lying

Will decide on the day, but currently the likelihood is yes I will go.

If they can deliver the results then they will get the bigger crowds, QED.

She also goes by the stage name of VOLUPTUA

For somebody who is a member of the Satanic Sluts, cites 'c*ck rock' as a favourite activity, and actually HAS slept with Russell Brand, I have little sympathy for her, but feel sorry for her grandad.

One lot sang "ob-la-di ob-la-da", and the others made some classic new wave music

Problem is, I don't drink,- not even to drown my sorrows.

Preston, along with Blackpool, are both only 30 minutes travel for me, but I am looking for any excuse not to go next Saturday, 'cause I don't think I want to watch any more of this slow-mo car crash. ( Also, some **** vandalised my car two nights ago and I need to spend £230 to fix it. ). Give me some positives guys.

If KD goes, we will defo go down.

Do I get a refund then ?

I think I do get it, but more importantly, my licence fee pays for it !

Am I to assume that the show is therefore, in fact, a sophisticated p1ss-take aimed at the 'target audience' ? There are some funny bits, some entertaining bits, and a whole lot of Hamster acting like a retarded twelve year-old, Clarkson gurning like a new born infant as he passes 150 mph, and the other twit looking like a slightly eccentric academic who's been sleeping under a hedge.

The program is too obsessed with 'how many horses under the bonnet ?", "how far under 6 seconds for 0-60 ?", "how far over 120 mph will it go ?", all of which is completely pointless and irrelevant in a country where the maximum national speed limit is 70 mph, most journeys are less than 10 miles ( and travelled at less than 20 mph ), and most people actually want to know whether they can get three kids and a week's worth of shopping into a car that costs less than £x pounds a week to run and maintain. All three presenters are parodies of themselves; JC should stick to dissing foreigners, particularly the French and the Yanks, it's far funnier.

The story of The Clash ; White Man in Hammersmith Palais has always been in my list of top ten songs.

I think we rode our luck a bit ! I wouldn't say that I was confident in the teams defensive qualities; it's a good job 'good' KD turned up tonight, not the one that played against Watford.

There is a world of difference between playing away at their city rivals and at home to our U-21s.

I think it's blindingly obvious not just to this forum, but to everybody who goes to SMS, everybody who watches any part of our matches on TV, in fact everybody other than Rupes, ( JP's opinion doesn't count as he has no say in signings or team selection ).

Trust me, not at this time of year

This squad could not play his brand of hoofball, there's not a brick outhouse in sight.

It seems he's been 'named and shamed' and gone into hiding.

Given the situation we were presented with, hanging on by the skin of our teeth was the best we could have expected for this season. But maybe there were better options available, and some part of the frustration this is generating comes out as the sentiment displayed on here. Part of the current situation is down to financial restrictions, but a significant part of it is seen simply as Rupert's overblown ego and poor appointments.

I sincerely hope you are right, but this season is sucking the confidence out of me. The next two games being away at Sheff Utd, and the away to Swansea, who are unbeaten at home and hanging onto the play-off chase, could see us with 11 points from 13 matches.
