The problem is (and you're right he's a bit one-footed from what I could see) is that he doesn't just get to the by-line and cross it, he tends to then cut back, pull it back or do something a bit more intelligent with it so while it's better to show him outside he's good enough to do something with it once he's got a bit of space.

We just weren't up to it. They were organised but nothing special. Much as people have praised Wood, I think he needs to be moved on. He just isn't good enough on the ball and does seem to let the pressure get to him easily. Beautiful drag back and turn by Manning 2nd half. Now if only he could practise using that right foot of his.

Agreed. As a show of solidarity and cameraderie we'll give him to them and provided he plays every game for them I think we could pay his wages. I wonder how they'll feel playing in the Isthmian League?

Under 8s?

Except this year, we're not being very Saintsy.

This run has been easier than the last one. We've got to the semi finals of the FA cup, but only had to face mediocre opposition thus far. (For those for whom early on a Sunday morning might be a bit too early). Edit - it's too early on a Sunday morning.

Agree and disagree. The approach you'd take (there, above) is defeatist and Tonda isn't defeatist. But he will compartmentalise things; best way to do it.

Textbook. 2/10

Disagree. Much better in his play than JWP.

Software was crap. Trying to find a seat even on a computer was terrible cause it zoomed in on a small section and you couldn't easily move around. Then after I chose a seat it was taken, then it tried to make me take two, then I selected one, then it put me somewhere else completely at random.

Downes was excellent yesterday. Played like a real footballer, not a wall.

As in Lucy?

Wrong sponsor.

If you say so. Twice.

Which we'd all take.

Wot's a "Scalve"?

If we make the top two, I'll eat probably quite a lot to soak up all the booze. Ipswich will come 2nd.

I can see why the Sunderland fans rated him. And I think there's still more to come, but it might take a couple of years until the injuries have faded.

And to whom would they be attached?

Did Tonda say he'd been in to talk to the team the day before?

We do have a bit of a fixture pile up now though. Assume we'll have to bring the Blackburn game forward and it'll be two games a week until the end of the season. Mind you, who gives a f..k?

Yeah, think of that 4-0 a few years back with a nice goal by Cuco.

Interesting comments by Parkinson today. Looking to put pressure on the refs for next week? Sounded like it.

Where's Lord D when you need him? It wasn't pony, it was better than many.

Although that's what's been happening for some while now. I agree those that didn't qualify shouldn't. And it should be 16 teams only. But less dollars from tourists to be made and as always most US people will still wonder what it's all about and think Newcastle should be called the penguins cause they play in black and white, etc.
