I did not go to the game but watched the Sky coverage. It seemed to me he went down far too easily for the first, was not brave for the 2nd and no keeper would have saved the 3rd. Although he does have a strange action when trying to reach for the ball. It was evident for Chelseas second the other day.

Some would think you want saints to lose so you could big yourself up and be the font of all fortune. It does not take Einstein to realise that you need to spend big and have a massive squad to compete for the top 4. You also have to remember that there are people on this forum who are quite young and only see Saints as all conquering heroes. There is nothing wrong in having a few dreams and the start of the season did instill a confidence we have not seen for a long time. I would be interested to see your posts re us playing a weakened side in the. League cup. A few were pragmatic to realise that being knocked out of that was not a bad thing, especially as we have lack of depth in our squad

we dont know the conversation or stance the people took. They MAY have stuck their heels in and said they were inviting FB whatever. The change of venue showed that there was something going on. i wasnt going to buy the book but i think I will now, not as a dig at NC but to help the guys at Haliology

you are talking about Boruc, who makes some unbelievable saves , using speed and agility. If you are it is pretty pathetic trolling

if you had a fall out as public as Nc had you might not be so charitable either.

my memory is not that great but I'm fairly certain that 2of the best overseas imports were Henry and Bergkamp, each player did not hit the floor running,and their talents questioned.

Behave, had the ball not his the post he was there to save it. It was unfortunate the angle it came off the post

Justin Fashunu being the prime example

It is a difficult one. I am torn with loyalty to the club but also the plight of fellow fans. It may seem that FB court case is the background to it all. Knowing the situation with FB and Nc it would have been prudent to have a word in his ear and ask him not to be available on the night. I'm sure he would have understood.

same for me, obviously the computer doesnt like either of our views

We didn't do any better with Davis though. Did we win any games with Davis in goal last year? ? Look at the games he played in, add to that bizarre substitutions when we were in winning positions by Adkins. KD always has been the fall guy by some on here, they disappear when he was gaining us points but slide out of the shadows when he made a mistake (DT is exempt as he always slagged him off). KD was man of match on a large slice of the seasons gone by, and especially at the away games. i accept he is not likely to be on the top of his game but he is still a decent keeper.

people are saying Gazza did badly because of the defence in front of him,but then conveniently forget KD had a defence that was in a worse state and not a unit. Jos had given away a series of soft penalties and Yoshida was trying to adapt to the new league. We are where we are now due to the brilliance of KD and RL over the seasons gone. The nonsense about KD at Sunderland is a myth as they went down because they were really poor and KD was the fall guy yet again. If you are gaugeing opinon of Sunderland fans from a Forum you only have to look on here to see how little you can take from that.

KD for me, but i would like Boruc back asap. Kelvin has been a fantastic keeper for us, but no doubt his age will be starting to tell.

it doesnt take much to realise that but i dont know that people are saying we will figure regular top 4

It is fairly pointless talking keepers on here, for a few years we had a keeper who won player of the season, also voted by his fellow pros as the best in the league he was playing in and still we had the so called experts hiding in the shadows waiting to criticise. Time waits for nobody and so KD is first choice but he should not be third choice.if the manger decides he is then so be it

Behave Barry, it is a defeat at Chelsea not friggin Bury or Grimsby.

Apologies Derry my cheap shot about the Bolton keeper was out of order.

I notice Shay Given went out on loan this week

It was not about 1 mistake it was his overall performance on the night. If Boruc is out and MP puts Gazzinga in, i will not be wishing him to fail , like some do in the hope to prove their point aka Osvaldo and others in the past

I really hope your confidence is well founded as we can't afford another Norwich performance

I wouldn't know that but I'm sure you look good in the uniform. Derry is on thin ice telling people about keepers, he thought that ginger keeper at Bolton was a top one lol

Interesting,so it's not about margins but politics I assume

When RL came on he had composure on the ball and linked the midfield to the front. We miss his skill

The 2goals looked poor , the first I thought he would get to it, the second looked as he was too slow getting down. He does not inspire me with any confidence.

They will go on and win the league IMO and their power and squad will win them the title. no shame losing to them.
