I notice the Blackburn manager kept referring to us as a Premier League side after the match "with a PL budget that we can't match" That's his arse covered then!

Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. They don't come much better than this. Well done lads, well done coaches. The best is yet to come surely but this was an impressive performance by any measure. What was really pleasing to me was the genuine bonding and togetherness of this squad even amongst the so-called fringe players, if that is the right term to use these days of 16 on-field players for every match. The congratulatory team hugs and broad smiles from everyone that greets each goal speaks volumes and tells us all we need to know. If this level of performance can be maintained then this team is heading in one direction only. Can you really see KWP being seduced away by the Hammers in January when clearly he is having the time of his life?

You're taking the piss, right?

He certainly doesn't seem to chime with Adam very much these days judging by his arms folded posture at the start of he PC. Adam let him off lfar too lightly and should have gone for the jugular after two pathetic performances this week. You're right about Che's bum probably being his best asset in front of goal.

Hm! We've got ourselves in a rut of negative football and without Alcaraz or Sulemana to inspire a more determined approach I don't see how we get out of it especially as Martin professes himself very satisfied and happy with our mid-week performance. Until he stops condoning mediocrity things won't improve. A wake-up calls is needed badly. We will lose today because honestly Martin seems to have lost the plot and some of the players have stopped listening. 0-3 will certainly be different but probably not in the way you maybe hope!

Oh dear, the poor sod has lost the plot. He may be gone by Christmas. Surely must be conversations in the boardroom.

Bloody Manning!

Borefest. Clueless midfield creating nothing. Armstrong and Aribo have done b*gger all. Shake it up Martin or we will be sleepwalking to defeat as Coventry are bound to score one from a defensive error. Mara on, Adams off- what's to lose?

A few of our lads were clobbered on Saturday and it would not be a surprise if one or two of them didn't make it tomorrow. Manning & Fraser spring to mind. Alcaraz was hooked so he might be on the naughty step as well. Adams scored so will keep his place. Expect; Bazunu; KWP. THB. Bednarek. Bree. Downes. Charles. Smallbone, Armstrong. Adams. Edozie Score 0-2 to Saints

Presumably the game can be watched on the OS for a tenner even in the UK.

That's because we are a family club, with family values which means that most of the menfolk don't feel the need to get pissed out of their minds and shout endlessly obscene remarks at the opposition fans or goalkeeper just to enjoy a football football match.

You don't have to be apologetic about your views of these players. If our ambition is to return to the PL this season then Aribo, Manning, Bree, Fraser, Adams, Armstrong A, Armstrong S will not be good enough to keep us there. If this sort of dross is the height of our ambition then we'll end up bottom of the PL pile as before and come straight back down again. Personally I have never expected our return to be a one year project and doubt that SR did either, so these players are just about good enough to keep us near the top of the second division pile for long enough to keep the cash from gate money rolling in until we can build a team fit for purpose in the PL. Like it or lot that's a 3-5 year project. Most of those journeymen will be long gone by then and good bloody riddance.

Don't talk rubbish we were all over them all match. They deserved nothing. Time we cleared out the old lags like AA, CA, SA and started afresh with some decent players who know how to score goals. Our front line is garbage and costing us dearly.

Odd remark, KWP doing very well and Charles having a good match.

Needs some new ideas in the attacking third, Smallbone maybe, defo AA off and probs Adams as well. Mara Edozie please.

Perhaps but my impression was that Cardiff were not up for the fight, a combination of the terrible weather and Saints keep-ball seemed to have knocked the stuffing out of them after our second goal and from then on it was only going to end one way. True, they made a brief recovery after the break but it didn't last long after which they threw in the towel. We were really good on the ball though.

We should have had a hatful. Adams confirms his status as No 1 waste of space. Fraser too desperate to score, a cooler head and he gets a brace. Aribo very unlucky. Considering the weather, we did well.

Manning is useless whereas Edozie is a decent player given a chance. Hope Martin picks him today and gives him a run of games. Put Kyle on the left and Bree on the right so that Edozie has a decent partnership to get him fired up.

Brass Monkey weather, sorry Saints you're on your own up there today! Good luck anyway. Big shout out for all those who are brave enough to go.

Clearly it is not a question! What you are missing is that in the sequence that you have quoted it is exactly as I said above, Adam giving his opinion rather than letting Martin answer the question without being told how to answer it. Talking across people like that is unacceptable. Keunsberg is the same.

He was irritable all evening, spent half the match bellowing at his players so obviously wound up like a spring by the time the interviews came along. To be fair Adam does venture too much of his own opinion during some of his interviews and this was a case in point. He should remain neutral in an interview, ask a question that is not leading and wait for the answer. The interviewer should not seek to grab the limelight as Adam did in this interview or try to teach the interviewee how to suck eggs. It's Martin's opinion we wanted not Adam's. Adam's style at pressers irritates me sometimes so maybe Martin is just fed up with him which is unfortunate.

What has been the success rate with your insightful predictions? I can't be arsed to look it up but we haven't torn many a new one so far have we.

What a load of crap! Players like Suly are there for their flair and unpredictability, stifle that and you may as well not play him. No player on this planet is capable of following a coach's plan for even 45 minutes let alone a whole game. Now that KWP has been given the freedom of the park he has become twice the player he was before. He has been given a very long rope so do the same for Suly.

If you have nothing good to say about a man then say nothing bad.

For fairness and balance you could also have quoted my Thursday post…………... "Now that we are getting used to winning again let's hope complacency doesn't set in. We have to be in this for the long haul as there is no sign of the three above us faltering. It's a must win but we're still not convincing enough in our performances to guarantee it. I fear a 1-1 draw is on the cards also with the disruption caused by players' being away on national duties"
