Still think Darren Carter or Richard Chaplow could do a job for Saints...

As for the squad numbers I think Barnard will get the 9 and Harding will hopefully move to 3. Fonte for the 5 shirt? Perhaps Kayne McLaggon and Jamie White would have still been here next year had it not been for their injuries. With White going, that now means Tony Garrod can now be given the opportunity to step up and put his case forward?

Still there about 30 mins ago

Really think if away goals count for something over two legs they should only matter for 90 mins. I did think it was harsh on Liverpool for losing this season against Athletico on away goals; why should they have 120 mins to score 1 goal, when Liverpool only had 90?

Another one not in favour of the 125 years red blob, it should go back to an old style football

I became aware of a chap called Jason Puncheon when he was playing for Barnet - Soccer Saturday I'm sure used to big him up whenever he scored (which was fairly frequently IIRC). Harding also was highly-rated and I'm sure was linked to Saints previously.

Maybe it said Saints vs Tranmere on the front/back? Well, that could be why the guy in PA land blurted out that Tranmere had just made its first substitution on 87 mins?

Lallana against Orient for poll purposes?

Elvis was back!

Still think we may sign another RB this summer if Ostemobor leaves and this chap has indeed joined. Simon Francis today for Southend looked very good and a decent set piece taker from deep i.e. no need for Davis to get involved!

It was more the timing of them that was silly! You're always going to to get one or two incursions to use the term, part of the norm and entertainment watching them go arse over tit, and then receive a big daddy splash from the steward for their trouble.`

The repeated announcements were pretty silly to be honest, and unneccessary IMO. We only needed to be told once, not three times in five minutes! They also forgot to advise the North Car Park was open...

We'll need two if Otsembor and Thomas are not given new deals! Lloyd James is not sufficent back-up.

Southend's right back Francis. Get him in.

If Antonio isn't involved in the squad, you could assume he won't be staying next season? I'd start Oxlade-Chamberlain, he always seems to be coming on imminently, but then never quite makes it across the line! I thought Barnard went off injured on Saturday and therefore could be doubtful? If fit, I'd start him over Connolly.

Can't see one yet? Who will play tomorrow?

Darren Carter also worth a look, and maybe Elliot Ward whom Preston will not be signing

Top marks to the lad in the morph suit, brilliant!

Sorry I thought you were talking about Jamie Redknapp for a moment there. Tis a good game apart from the commentary.

Didn't Saints look at a guy called Donnelly, who later went to Stockport? May still be available and willing to stay in League 1?

Cannot stand that Mark Bright - that Sheff Wed player "only had a little cut on his toe, why did he go off?" rrrr. Because it was likely to have been dislocated and was hanging off at a weird angle. Did you not see the pain and anguish on his face man. A pundit completely out of his depth.

Ostembor got caught out on a number of occasions ball watching, causing panic. Aaron Martin was very good throughout, and deserves another crack next week... Lloyd James' performance left a lot to be desired, and Fonte the same. Elvis' feints and faking did not fool the steward at the end - I think if he had his way Elvis would have been booted into touch following his slip and capture. Man not amused syndrome! Remember chaps next week.... "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease stay off the pitch"

These were the prices for 09/10... If you add 2.5% for the increase in VAT, and possibly £1.00-£1.50 per game on those = £33-£45 increase for renewals (wings/northam being the example).

Can you describe why he was so bad? The reason I ask is that I didn't get to many Saints games when he was at the club, indeed my only memory of him playing was when he scored in a pre-season friendly! Or have I answered my own question!

Did OK IMO. Looks more a defensive minded midfielder than attacking, although could have got a goal had Barnard passed instead of shooting.
