Saint Billy

Here lies the problem with our entire front line. The build up is so slow that the opposition have bags of time to organise and cover leaving our front men feeding off scraps and constantly marshalled.

Good result but another underwhelming performance. I just wish we would go at these sides and attack straight from kick off instead of this laborious slow build up style which doesn't seem to frighten the opposition at all, in fact imo it does the opposite as it really does not offer much threat at all.

Why try and side foot from there?

He was a bit off.

1 (ONE) point says MLT.

When anyone asks me how I am feeling I avoid saying that I am feeling a bit blue.

It is probably me in a Monday slump but Dion Dublin is really winding me up with constant words of wisdom.

Is RM being negative when he states “In the second half, the momentum swung and we were too untidy on the ball. Their goal was coming, but we weren’t good enough in that period.". It's not being negative it's being realistic. Yes we could all get carried away on a tidal wave of optimism that we've turned the corner and the league is won but on the other hand some of us choose to enjoy the wins but with caution.

Obviously there is an improvement since that god awful bad run, but we still look vulnerable especially after scoring. I still have this uneasiness when watching us that we are only one stray pass away from conceding and capitulating.

Granola for me but my distribution was poor.

Not our best performance but that is probably down to West Brom being a strong organised side. It shows how well we have improved when we can more than match the better and even best sides in this league. A big shout to Baz who has improved immensely.

Omg, forgot about him, a slightly odd person.

Perhaps my memory is letting me down, plus I thought we lost. I think QPR had fake turf at the time.

Not at all, ran out of puff so stood my ground but by that time a bunch of saints fan came the other way and we welcomed the cavalry and then it all fizzled out.

I remember a long long time ago when Keegan was playing for us, after the game at QPR, three of us were trying to get to my car and we were directed by police down this long road and told to hide our colours, Half way down the road we were onset by 30 QPR looking for blood. They caught up with one of our group of three and beat the shit out of him. Sounds like things haven't changed much.

Good win boys, please can you wrap things up earlier in matches as this is not healthy.

Good win, was a little nervous when they got a goal back but for once we held our nerve, long may it continue

Let's see how long we can hold the lead

Great cross from Armstrong

Smallbone treats the ball like an unwanted gift.

Any reason why we water the pitch when we've had shit loads of rain?

I take the dog for a quick walk at half time and come back to this. Ironically dog and team both produce shit.

I have no problem with our manager applauding the fans whover we are playing, shame I missed it, turned off watching after first half due to crap stream and crap display.

How does Rooney do it?, he has done feck all as a manager but still gets work.

I've noticed that a lot of the time when passing square the pass often goes behind the player passed to which results in lost momentum which normally ends up in move backward and another square pass or back to the goalkeeper. Positive possession based football can be attacking and exciting but the way we are doing it is risk averse, dull and totally lacking anything apart from keeping possession until one of our ill equipped for this style of play gives possession away.
