Good post.

Letting Gallagher go on loan is already looking a bad decision especially as we did not replace him

Not the ones I have spoken to - have you a source?

I don't think people post doom and gloom with "glee", that's just your interpretation. I certainly don't but I must admit I am very concerned at present because I don't think it is a case of just a few bad days at the office. The malaise runs deeper than that.

Dislike the guy intensely but I have more confidence that the club was being run properly then.

Yes Steve hit a lot of nails in that summary but I would point out that Lemina does not provide any pace. In fact at Huddersfield he looked very lacking in that department.

Sad that all of a sudden VvD is being touted as our saviour. Only 2 weeks ago he was Satan reincarnated. Saints fans would sell their souls for a point. Desperation has come early.

Only Saints could turn a Lamborghini into a Robin Reliant.

Massive gamble not getting anyone in who can play upfront. Only 1 injury away from being seriously weak when it comes to forward options. To think we let 3 forwards go on loan (Seager, Olomola and Gallagher) and sold Rodriguez without one incoming is not very good planning.

Stephens maybe could replace Romeu?

Jenkinson has gone back to Arsenal with a dislocated shoulder.

B'ham did pay Saints a £1m fee but all the other figures in that article are garbage. As for playing for Harry - he may be an absolute **** but Sam will certainly learn a few things about the political aspects of being a footballer. I gather his education has already started in fact. He will get lots of positives out of this loan deal.

That Mail article was utter tosh, take it from me the figures were grossly exaggerated and I mean grossly. Someone at Birmingham has a grudge I reckon.

I see one time Saint Harley Dean is leaving Brentford to join Birmingham for £2m

Is there such things as "principles" in the Premier League anymore?

Agree with all this particularly Bertrand's body language. Something is not right behind the scenes because Redmond too is acting like a spoilt child and the players generally lack leadership. Was it the Grove you went to? A cracking real ale pub that offered 19 different bitters?

Can't believe I am going but I wonder why if CB Fry will turn up?

Don't know if your friends regularly went to watch Rovers but I sat in the away end for several of their games last season and no one near me had a bad word. Indeed it hat was quite a clamour for him to come back. I am not saying he is top Premier League standard yet, but relying on Austin and Long staying fit is a gamble lessened with Sam in the wings.

The Echo quoting Pellegrino saying unlikely to be any more signings. Hope he is pulling someone's leg as I can't believe we are going into the autumn with just 3 not always fit strikers. At least hold onto Gallagher.

Keep the morale of the troops up and all that

For once I agree with you. He also needs games, it's so hard to get a rhythm going when you make occasional forays from the bench. He has skill and has a better attitude to Tadic so I would give him 10 games on the bounce.

Sounds like the players and manager will thought along the same lines as you.

Right on cue! Unlike you I actually care about my team and any defeat hurts like hell. Sorry if that upsets you but I have long come to realise you inhabit this forum not because you have a passion for Saints but because of your narcissistic nastiness. As a matter of interest do you ever go to games and do you ever comment on the football or are you just content being the forum clever ****?

When Saints screw up badly, like they have tonight, would it not be a good idea if all the pious happy clappy club apologists took a few hours off to let the ones that really suffer in the real world to wallow in our collective misery, without being preached to or patronised. Nothing worse than a happy clappy or a fan in denial on a night like this.

Sorry again I have got to disagree. In your heart of hearts have you really been impressed with our displays in our first two games? I have not. Hardly anything has changed or has it, this time last year we were still in 3 cups and now we have just one. You keep looking for positives and yet that is hardly progress. forgive me tonight if I am just a little gloomy that we are being run competently.
