The dead ball specialist JWP with his usual brilliance there....

Could they be this years team that come from nowhere and end up being promoted through the playoffs?

Best put my money on a Liverpool win then Aside from a Newcastle win today couldn’t have gone much worse.

McCarthy unsighted thanks to Romeu

Couple of hard fought wins and intense training taking their toll a bit? Certainly don’t look as fresh as West Ham

Save!! Oh no he missed ****ing hell wake up lads

Really felt after the result last week that we would get a win today and I’m so chuffed that we did!! Under Hughes I really didn’t expect to win another game this year, so to win two on the bounce really relieves the pressure. We look good going forward but still shaky at the back, I’ve got nice doubt though that Ralph will be taking action in the January window to sort that and if we can get there still outside the relegation zone I reckon we could make a good push for 10th-12th spot

Loving this, great pressure by Redmond!

****ing get in!!! Great pressure by Redders!!

They were all marking people, Romeu failed to track the run of Mkhitaryan.

What a result - the difference in the team was visible already, playing the high press and getting crosses into the box quicker. Still need to cut out those individual errors, and Romeu just is not very good, look forward to seeing Lemina back in the hole.

He might be a nice bloke but Yoshida was only ever good enough to be third place centre back behind Fonte, Lovren, Toby and vVD in recent years. The fact he is now considered to be our best CB at the moment is part of the reason we are in the position we are, diluting a strong squad with average replacements. Cabbage is right when he says his loyalty only extends as far as the size of the team that come in for him, I’m sure if United decided they need to flog more shirts in Japan and made an offer he’d be off like a shot regardles of how much game time he is likely to get. I’m not sure any of our current CB’s are in Ralphs plans come January, he’s no fool and I’m sure has been promised a transfer kitty of some kind for the Transfer Window. We wouldn’t get a manager so highly regarded without promising him funds surely.

I only remember it really because it was my only trip to Ninian Park. Absolutely lashed it down before, during and after the game, and I missed their winner dashing back to the car as I had to be back in Southampton by 7pm. Proper ****hole ground and surroundings. i think our goal was really well worked from what I remember - thought our young team might go on to surprise a few people that year, WRONG!!

Luckily we lost that game 2-1 to a scrappy late goal, not 1-0, so the superstitious amongst us can breathe a sigh of relief!!

Good to see that from Chaz there, he might be a bit of a ****, but he’s our ****, and his experience is good to have in the squad.

Living a charmed life at the back, a better team would have put us to the sword by now.

J-Rod caused controversy last night with “The Hand of Rod” , didn’t seem to know much about it but as I can’t stand Villa and still love J-Rod it’s pretty hilarious https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UE029KwbpA

I really hope, more than ever, that the club get it right this time. Our fan base has never seemed so despondent and apathetic, we were on the cusp of greatness and have been dealt a pile of ****e ever since.

Really wanted, and hoped, it would would work out with Hughes. Knew the league, knew the club, thought given how he managed to keep us up that we'd have a solid season but its clear it wasn't working. I have no faith in the club to hire a decent replacement, particularly with the DOF situation and the fact the owner doesn't know a thing about football. The decision should have been made at least a month ago when we still had a realistic chance at getting some good points on the board before this tough run.

Would be really good to play a minnow at home - so Pompey please Not worried about facing them even on current form, reminds me of when we were flying in League One and they still beat us despite being dog****.

Either a 3 or 4 nil loss with United barely breaking a sweat. Hopefully this will be the final straw and Hughes is out the door but can’t say I’m optimistic of that.

He’ll be replaying that over and over in his head shocking miss!!!

Anyone found a stream with commentary - weird only hearing the stadium noise

Is it that strange? I’d say the way Fonte was clearly being blocked from playing in our Europa League campaign suggests truth isn’t stranger than fiction.
