Strange how two hours have been turned into ten minutes.As PB says "Aren't they contracted for 24/7"? Something not quite right here and it will be an awful long time before the real situation emerges.

The way to beat a tall defender is to play it on the deck. Usually they can't head a low ball.

We must keep pressing as the Baggies slow games down and time-waste from kick off. Would use Pelle and Long up front to mix it with their defenders.Mane to come on for Pelle after 60 minutes.Our Ball Boys will make sure the ball is returned to the pitch rather than back into the crowd.Have a good feeling we will shade this by the odd goal.

Sincere condolences to his family.RIP Malc A True Saint.

Vic seldom loses the ball I agree Andy but how many times does he give it away? His passing at times is non-existent .

My only reservation from last night is that Mane should start looking up every now and then because on four or five occasions a slick pass to his right or left would have led to others scoring.As far as VW is concerned RK should see that he's SNLR. The combination appears to the right one so I hope RK keeps the same team for Saturday. COYS.

If I knew who was going down I'd throw some cash at it!

I wonder if Mane and his agent were sitting in some M Way Services working out the next 'Cash Cow' opportunity? As far as Wanyama is concerned the man has to be a complete idiot to act in this way if he wants a move. I concur Glen that players these days only move for the money.Have our recent deserters improved their game? No! Only their wage packets. Thankyou for yet another warts and all commentary. Let's see if RK has learned any lessons from the past disasters.

It's probably because Brum ain't far from Leicester and he can still hang out with his mates.

Hope you realise that MOTD is edited to suit the BBC not the fans.

Why was Mane late? If the meeting was in Norwich why wasn't he with the team? Once we know the answer we can assess the outcome.

Surprised that Fonte was there. He's a very new Dad and Cas must have given him a pass.

Thanks for both of those Glen.I look forward to the vitriol of the Narch fiasco.

And a very Happy New Year to you Alps. PS. Charlie Austin to bail us out?

Neither were outstanding against us if you recall.We just gave away the six points by being ineffective.

Last six games we have only won one.We have played some very average teams and still can't beat them. Eg. Villa Palace Spuds (didn't impress me) Wet Spam and now Narch. RK appears to be blind to the inadequacies of certain players yet continues to play them.I'd sooner take a risk with Harry Reed than Wanyama anytime. It's not the end of the world as I've been here many times over the past years. We can still turn this around.

They ALL left for higher salaries but covered their arses with the excuse of 'Higher level football'. Paying higher wages doesen't improve the quality of the player does it?

RIP Roy.Well respected ex Docker.

I see we have Clattenberg as Ref for Saturday.Have we ever won with him as Ref? Will Saturday be a first? PS. Liverhampton had their 'Friend' as twelf man last night.Have they ever lost in his presence?

It will all depend on who wants it most.Narch are a little more aggressive now than when we played them back in August and we still have to learn to sometimes fight back rather than give up.I'd like a real New Year present of three points please - for Saints. COYS

What did you expect? Lawro had us down to win.

Agreed. He bottled two definite penalties for us and ignored the keeper handling outside of the box.They're not all bad but even against Spuds a week ago we never won a 50/50 free kick.

Anyone think We'll need that little bit of physicality we showed yesterday? Wet spam can be niggling but so too can we at last.COYS. Repeat yesterday please.

As I said on the 'Build up' Arse don't like it physical so let's get physical,we did! And look what happens.What a great Christmas it is.

Not my daughter Jose Fontes who was born last Sunday. Proud to be a Saint this evening.
