Peretz still has credit in his account because he has shown that he is capable of pulling off some good saves.

Pretty much everyone on this thread agrees that he could, and probably should, have done better with that shot today.

When he starts letting those in every single time, then he will deservedly start getting the same criticism as Bazunu.

Indeed. It's not difficult, is it...?

It is to some, apparently.

Disappointing outcome but only one team was trying to win that.

We did the same to teams last season as Charlton did and fluked our way to results (think Man City at home) - it happens. We played well, move on and win on Tuesday.

Sometimes you have to just say fair play about the opposition.  Very limited but defended really well and were obviously keen for payback from the reverse fixture.

Thought both Stewart and Larin played well and were a real handful.......shame our geniuses at SR didn't recognize this at the start of the season insetad of wasting money on an unknow quantity who turned out to be pretending to be a footballer.

For me both Azaz and Fellows have been underwhelming all season apart from one purple patch.  For those saying the Christmas results will be why we don't make the play offs I don't think that's the case: it was the position WIll Still left us in (13 games played, 12 points.  Since then we have 35 points from 20 games which would clearly be enough to finish in the play offs at least over the course of a season)

That is fair. Results like this happen for team nearer the top (we have done this to better teams plenty over the years).

The first couple of month, under that horrific manager, killed this season.....coupled with the insane belief 3 at the back was the way ahead

Inevitable that certain individuals would latch on to that goal as vindication of BAZ and his consistent 1 star goalkeeping.

That one goal, and at least two against Leicester, when he had a 0% save percentage, and the goal at Pompey, both goals at Doncaster and the second against Hull. That and having roughly the same save percentage overall this season. 

Criticise Baz all you want but when Peretz is getting off scot-free for very similar performances it looks more than a little biased.

What is the option fee for Peretz?

Our group's half time chat concluded with an early second half goal, the game's as good as won. Well that worked out well.

It's easy to under-estimate the psychology in sport. Once again, we scored and sat back. FFS, go for the kill.

And something's got to be done about time wasting. That lump of a sub they brought on went down like a shot with the lightest of touches. It's time to allow play to continue and even with the head injuries, the ref can call help on to the pitch but play around them. And we've been just as bad recently when we've been one up.

Typical Saints, work yourself into a decent position and then bottle it.

Knowing us we'll beat Coventry at their place in a month's time to balance this one out.

What a downer.

We really won't.

Where is he getting off Scot free? It’s only you Baz fan club members saying that …get over it he is gone for a few months.

Perez IS slightly better , today he should have done better but Ive watched those go in for 3 years though.

If we miss the playoffs it will be because we took 3 points in 7 games either side of Christmas, not because we drew today.

No, although those Christmas results haven’t helped, the failure to go up (let alone reach the playoffs) will be due to the ridiculous appointment of Will Still. Then keeping him in post over a month too long

He’s not getting off scot free at all. You just made that up, which is a ridiculous thing to do.
