Saint Billy

Puel got it right tonight, keep it very tight and try and catch them on the break and it worked to a tee. Watching on Sky I kept a close eye on our back line and we kept our shape the entire game. I have been sceptical of Puel but tonight our defence was a well oiled machine, especially when you consider it was makeshift. Well played the players and well done Puel but orchestrating it.

Can't fekin believe it...........wow!!!!

Much better shape to the team, well done guys we needed this win. Liverhampton will be even more difficult if Virgil is injured.

I'm not sure which is more dull atm, watching Saints or watching England.

So we are looking at a striker who's inconsistent, welcome to saints he'll fit in well.

Exactly, in a nutshell.

If thats what you want just go on the official website then, plenty of facts and truths there for you to take as gospel.

I have been supporting saints for near on 55 years, and to told that "If I don't like it go and support someone else" is a real button pusher for me. Tbh, in 55 years there has not been that many ups to celebrate apart from the obvious as far as saints is concerned, and that lends itself to a rather negative style of approach when posting on here. I think this can apply to several old duffers on here like me, and we tend to clash with the new kids on the block who are on one hand very trusting of everything saints and on the other very scathing of those who dare to question.

After our performance against Liverpool I do feel a bit more upbeat but getting a striker has to be paramount.

At least the kit will stay red, maybe a few yellow stars here and there instead of stripes, but predominantly red.

If Long was the player he was last season I would pick Long, if Jay Rod was the player he was a couple of years ago I would choose Jay Rod. Tbh both are not what they were but out of the two Jay Rod holds more threat atm. Still think we need another striker though.

Played a lot better tonight. Shame Redmond did'nt take more chances as I don't think a one goal cushion is enough.

Ref has had a shocker tbf.

So unlucky

Here comes trouble.

Very flat first 20 minutes but after that we looked a different side. Keep this going and were in with a chance.

Thats better, come on saints make it count.

I'm almost hoping they will score to make us play a bit.

God how depressing to see him end up that way.

Oh at least its gone from one game to a season. You are slowly turning.

Nice one!!

Its just another cluster f*ck that we seem to regularly go through with players/managers and board. I thought the new owners and board were meant to bring a new era of stability.

He had some game time in Azerbaijan.

I often heard his name mentioned, he had a bit of a reputation.

You only have to look at the players to realise there is a problem. Forster is a big give away, he looks like he is suffering from a slipped disc when he gets the ball from the back of his net.
