He played the full 90 against Hull since then though so this must be something else, hopefully nothing too serious. Hopefully a few more weeks integration into the squad and tactics will see a different Holgate turn out tonight. He’s going to be needed a lot more this season I’m sure.

I was only expecting Holgate to maybe fill in at RB, not bloody CB!!!

Not sure how to feel after that to be honest, elated to get a last minute winner once again of course but my god was it some boring insipid football from us once again,

Surprise surprise

Smallbone is the academy poster boy now, he won’t get dropped no matter how shit he is. This picture quality really is shite isn’t it. I’d want a refund if I’d paid for this 😂

I really thought he’d shine this season, and after his 3 goals in the first few games it seemed that might be the case even if two of them were tap ins. He has however reverted back to his usual self of late though, and quite frankly after not wanting to lose him in the transfer window initially I genuinely can’t wait until he’s not part of this team anymore. Part of the worst Saints side in recent memory and he’s still stinking up the place, if a desperate Prem side come in for him next window take the money and run.

Remember when he was the next big thing after doing really well at Birmingham and taking Derby up to 2nd. All gone tits up since then really for him

Saganowski and Kenwyn Jones were both bang on form from what I recall? Leon best had popped up with a few as well.

I can’t be too angry at RM anymore to be honest. He had a mediocre record before joining, and he’s proving himself to be equally mediocre here. The anger should be directed at SR who have once again failed with their manager appointment, and let all the fans down as a result.

Just like Ralph, as soon as the opposition played their Plan B we were screwed.

That’s almost as bad as forest at home last season for me. Dreadful result. We won’t be going up this season, no consistency and no killer instinct.

So Saintsy

How many fucking chances!!!!

Indeed. I subscribe to an iptv and whilst people say you can find streams for free they’re normally a pain in the arse compared to streaming in HD on a big screen.

Yep. We’re absolutely battering them, wouldn’t it be great to score plenty and kill the game early doors

Boom. Great work from KWP. Silly criticism I know but how the fuck did Che not score that anyway.

Love it, fuck Stoke, horrible side. Apart from that penalty decision from the Bednarek tackle I actually thought the ref got everything pretty much spot on. Don’t get me wrong I’d hate to be on the other end of a performance like that and I’m annoyed that the narrative will be all about the ref. Amazing to get an ugly win after Saturday, suddenly things feel a little better. Wonder if we’ve got a striking coach among the back room staff: we miss so many chances game after game. What’s Beatts up to these days.

I’ve never understood the love for him. Apart from a couple of games I just think he’s a complete nothing player. Maybe it’s just me 🤷🏻‍♂️

So many missed chances!! This is where a natural striker like Stewart would have a field day

Couple of cracking passes from ArmA this half already. Annoyingly he’s probably the player you’d want on the end of them.

No criticisms from me today, massive result, and one I would love to be a watershed moment for us this season.

Just put a fiver on Leeds at 50/1. Be mad not to knowing what we’re like.

Alcaraz will need to come off at HT or he’s going to get himself sent off I fear.

Yeah he joined after the great escape, maybe they had a lot of people turn it down so they’re just hoping nobody realises Tessem wasn’t part of that squad 😂 Maybe a less formal ‘Evening with Pahars and Beattie’ would have been a better option, very fondly remembered strike partnership. Very much my era so I’d have gone to that if the price was closer to £70-£100
