Is that Rasmus on the far left?

Faddish

Are you being serious? Watch the Charlton goal again, soft as shite. Another in a long line of poor goal keeping appointments. I don’t actually see what he’s good at other than being a ‘character’.

Good performance overall. We win that 9 times out of ten. Fair play to Charlton, they defended brilliantly and were well organised. Thems are the breaks.

My Plymouth mates are raving about Lorent Tolaj, maybe he could be the striker we target in the summer .

I can see Ramsdale back if we go up. But I'd still try to sign Peretz too. Best set of GK's we'd have had in years that would be. But I don't think we go up this season, so get Peretz in and sign someone half decent as a back up. Shea's brother or someone like that.

A lot of our competitors lost today. After a winning run, a draw was on the cards at some stage. It happens, opposing teams work out a strategy to negate our threats, and we've seen Saints struggle against a negative defensive block for many years. Tonda seems to be learning to adapt, although a tad too slow for my tastes. Hopefully he has something up his sleeve for QPR. A win would have been nice, but they didn't lose, and gained ground on a number of teams. Just need to keep going, with our horrific start to the season, it was always going to go to the wire.

Yep. Tonda didn’t do a lot wrong today but when it was apparent before the 60 minute mark that Azaz and Fellows weren’t having great days, he could have replaced Fellows with Edozie ( or switch Scienza to the right, Edozie to the left) and Azaz with Matsuki. Whatever the reason behind Edozie’s absence, he must be used more, his direct run, trickery and variety of crosses are much more effective than Fellows’ current form. As washsaint suggests, a limited but well organised Charlton frustrated Saints dominance. Peretz definitely should have done better with the goal but he’s comfortably a better keeper than Baz. Downes was good, before he lost his head; Charles excellent, THB very good. Classy goal from Stewart. Beat QPR and todays frustration will pass quickly.

It's under £10m. He should be snapped up, far better than any other options we have. Ramsdale won't be at Saints next season regardless.

Still looks a quality player at Prem level to me. One of my favourite Saints players in the modern era; not the least because he gave us that extra season in the Championship, never threw a tantrum and played with a smile on his face. What’s your own assessment Charlie?

In hindsight, it was ridiculous in hindsight. Come on, it's how we roll on here, isn't it? 😉

Consensus on here was that it was a decent appointment, despite his pretty average record, so not sure it can be called ridiculous

Vice Squad arrest F.A.B. in election misunderstanding!

Certainly a disappointing performance from Saints but Jones team had done their homework, sat deep and frustrated all our efforts to penetrate their front line. Kudos to them but it highlighted the lack of creativity in our team and to a certain extent a lack of leadership when the going gets tough. Scant pickings for Sienza and Fellows today as they were well marshalled by their fullbacks. Fellows had another poor game irrespectively of the close marking and seems to have lost confidence. IMO it was a mistake to start him over Matsuki who has been performing dynamically in recent matches. The high spot for us was undoubtedly Stewart's well taken header, really classy stuff from the big man. Their goal was disappointing; awful defending by Stephens and Manning allowed Carey far too much space to pick his spot but Peretz could have and should have done better and will have nightmares after his howler. Charlton did not deserve a point but Saints showed that they still have much to do to convince that they really are serious candidates for promotion. On this showing they are not. We can expect a similar pattern of play on Tuesday evening and if we can't come uo with some clever tactics to overcome visitors sitting back in a low block at SMS in the meantime, one fears our season will start to peter out.

Eastleigh have sacked Scott Bartlett.

Andy's just realised who's driving the car....

Do we get special smoke released from the St Mary’s chimney when a new member is voted in?

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

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

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.

We really won't.
