Their first goal was more down that fact that Harding had left his man COMPLETELY unmarked to provide the cross rather than a 'gameplan' . Other than that there was an own goal and not too much else,so I can't really see a chink in our armour.

Just back from the game,happy to have got the draw in the end given the circumstances,2 unfortunate goals to concede!! Predicted the result in the build up thread,was very much a wake up call for the fans that thought all we had to do was turn up today to win 3 points. Agree that the 4-5-1 really isn't working,Lambert looked ****ed off up there on his own,the game completely changed once Antonio and Connelly came on,like others have said its nice to have that bit of quality in the bench to bring on. No one performed too badly,Jaidi and Trotman looked strong as usual and won pretty much everything in the air. Davis couldn't have done much about either of the goals. James' corners were woeful,why is a left footer not taking them so they swing inward,simple isn't it? Waigo was getting a lot of the ball down the right wing,but his crosses were either going straight to the keeper or instead of trying to turn his marker he'd try and play for a throw or corner,needs to show a bit more confidence. Wotton did alright,played a couple of great through balls which unfortunately amounted to nothing. Lambert took his goals well,the second one was a cracking volley,hope we hold on to him should we fail to get promoted. Just wish we could win when we take a massive away following!

Hmmm,seeing as we always buckle under the pressure when we take a big away following,and theres too much over-confidence in the fact we should win,i'll go for a 2-2 draw. Always a pessimist with away games as its been nearly 10 years to the day since I last saw us win one in the league,my luck really is that bad.

Thought the same myself, the article should have read "In his first season, he was crap. In his second, a bit better. And last season, he was outstanding." Don't think Beatts deserves to be just 1 place ahead of him. Still,good article none the less.

Finally back from the pub,felt that game was worthy of a few pints! I had a feeling before the game today that if we could win this won we had to be considered for genuine play-off contenders,and now I can't see any reason that isn't obtainable! Antonio gets MOTM for me,completely changed the game! Can't wait for LO next week,just hope the players don't turn up with some of our fans "easy,easy,easy" mentalilty else we could be in for a shock.

If Southampton City Council hadn't offered us that piece of land would we even have a new stadium?

My vote would go to Peter Winkleman for overseeing Wimbledons' move to errrr,60 miles away!!

I'm with you on that one,that whole first half was a personal battle between him and Ormerod. Shame Paul Jones isn't in that list of keepers,wasn't the greatest but better than a good few of the ones on there.

Interesting question,who was the last English player we signed from a non league club? Anyone know? (I don't btw)

He's a Chelsea fan.

Great prices,still don't agree with the £15 matchday price though. I know the fans have plenty of time to get tickets in advance,but we should be encouraging people who might not decide till the day,not putting them off.

When I think of that game I think of it more about Beckham making up for France 98. We need to get revenge against Maradona personally IMO.

To be honest,I'd rather they did get through to the finals,so theres the chance we could get revenge over the dirty fat ****er for Mexico 86.

Think a few people have their wires crossed here.Yes she had a botched plastic surgery op that made her look like a fish,but the claim for damages wasn't to do with that,it was over a virus she picked up from a dirty hospital which she successfully won damages from the NHS over. Nick is right,her case was that she would never be able to return to TV roles,which appears to be false,so she should pay some back,or to charity at least.

Because at the time I wrote it I wasn't thinking of him as being a long term option,I was thinking more about the current squad,which I don't know if he's ready for.

Looking forward to this one,despite the fact my luck with away games is that bad that it'll be a week shy of 10 years since I last saw us win from home in the league,1-0 away to Villa on 6.11.99!

Do you live in Sholing per chance?

With the way the team are playing at the moment and watching how Lallana is starting to flourish under AP I wonder how Surman would have fared?

So nice to hear something postive about our team for a change! What a great result that was,was slightly dubious about how we'd play in their tight little ground and am chuffed to bits that once again we didn't let our heads drop once we conceded! Its hard not to get carried away as theres still a long way to go but 3 wins in a week is a fantastic acheivement,considering what us fans have been through in the past few years!

According to Soccerbase he came on on the 32nd minute and came off on the 85th which makes it 53minutes,don't know how reliable that site is though.

Not anymore its not.

Girlfriend bought me it for the wrong console,and I cant be arsed to take it back. Still shrinkwrapped £30 local pick-up.

Aaron has been invited back to train with us for a second week,seems we must be considering him as a long term option after all.

Sounds about right,our Ticket Office originally planned to only charge £5 for adults,I guess Torquay thought as we've got a big ground they'd try and make a bit of extra cash and raise the prices.

Now i'm not saying someone from the club saw this,but since I posted it Davis hasn't worn the grey short sock combination and we've seen a rise in out fortunes.Do you think perhaps he thought the same thing.
