its a ot more enjoyable expecting a positive result though. Im obviously easily pleased but I quite like the football played at present.None of that fancy Dan putting 3 or 4 passes together along the back line then up to the midfield and then to the back 4 again like you get in the Pl

is this a 5 minute argument or the full hour?

Lambert is a very important player, it has concerned me what would happen if he got injured. Hammond and Lambert have been superb signings

Thanks. I still think it was unfair on Papa for that miss and the disallowed goal did look a poor decision as it looks to me it was AL offside

Fair comment but is it wrong for people to enjoy a string of good results ? Yes we were sloppy at times but there was a nervousness in the players and crowd wanting to get the monkey of being in the bottom zone off our backs. How we have yearned for having a team that plays badly but still wins. Last season we played some good football and lost time and again, ddi you feel better then? We won and there were some very good passages of play (especially in the spell in the second half) but i do agree our defence still does not seem as solid as id like. I hope Bart gets his full confidence and in turn the defenders will trust him more.i suggest jaidis reluctance to pass back to him stems from seeing him in training, in time if Bart gains their confidence it will improve.

No vendetta but I personally am happier to have the clubs resources and the fans admiration go towards players who actually are worth their place. Tell me who would replace Lambert at present if he was unavailable on tueswday night? Conelly was injured and so Saga was the next in line for that position. No contest IMO

without a doubt the linesman gets it right more than wrong but they also have bad days and make some awful mistakes.

not forgetting a few fans as well.

I assume that we would be better off with Saga playing in his place . Lol

I give him a bit of leeway for that miss as he was stretching every sinew to reach the ball and was unfortunate that it just went upwards and not forward.

i think he was trolling. Although I did see a saints fan on rthe Northam scream 'you lazy fat git' at lambert. Thats footie fans for you. His fininsh was class. He does look as he is carrying an injury and it shows the lack of depth in our squad that we cant afford to rest him

As for his performance last night , I thought he worked hard and his pace was always a threat.Yes he does need to learn the timing of his runs and understand he can give the defender a yard start. From last nights showing he has more to offer than Antonio who shot from 50 yards and then failed to from a couple, it was comical. Both will be entertaining and frustrating in equal measure but the the fans should support them not pick at their confidence

Nobody likes being substituted I agree, but it is hardly the first time he has since being here, but not after the fans had been taking the p###. Footballers get a massive lift to their egos from adulation, they dont need the fans who they think support them taking the p### so publicly. If you think it doesnt effect players then you have completely different thoughts to me.

That is a fantastic idea. The exposure to that as well as the respect he would get from his past glories would be massive. it would also open the door for him to do many of the stars he played against and we all like a bit of nostalgia of our boyhood heroes. If he had any originals from his playing days i suggest they would be worth quite a bit.

well some may have thought it was funny but I didnt and some around me also. When Papa went off did you notice his reaction when he went to sit down??? Not happy at all.

I was disappointed that the fans sang about him in a negative way. The same nonsense was used against Fuller and look at him now

its the first time ive looked at this thread and can't believe there was a row going on about such a positive thing..........Im gutted I didnt look here a couple of days ago.

safety first and then a day out at Wembley . I know it is a nothing trophy but it would bring 30k saints fans out and some of them may start turning up again.

My priorities are L1 survival first and foremost, then JPT as he havea chance of getting to Wembley and the feelgood factor and finally the FA cup . Realistically we are unlikely to beat any team above top 10 in the CCC. The players do not need to be tired come the end of the season and so an exit from the cup in the 4th round at home to one of the big 4 by the odd goal and a disputed 1 at thet.We can then play the 'we did well and were conned card' but still walk away with pride...then ask FIFA to reinstate us at the final

I think people have seen them survive so many times they think they will again. HR is bound to loan them some stars to help dig them out of the hole.Add that the PL is poor in general and so it is not beyond them with the players they have.

he nicked that from mack Rill

No your credibility on here. At 1 stage people would take on board what you said. You disappearing when the chips were down says it all about you.It is funny you thinking up your excuse though

You have lost all credibilty, no use trying all your excuses. Damaged goods and with all your bluster we all know you slinked off and you can reel out all your normal nonsense but it means nothing now.

if we had been overrun in 1940 the germans would have taken russia in their initial push in 1941 Imo, as they would not have had so many troops posted on the french coasrt and also their airf ofrce would have had more resources

that's was uncalled for
