If Martin has the same success as Nigel then I hope the club treat him better next season than they did Nigel.

I think that's right. The idea of a completely new self-contained breakaway league is too idealistic, there are many fundamental problems to solve first e.g. how many clubs from which leagues; promotion, relegation; unless they set it up as a closed shop. Not all leagues in Europe are remotely equal while maintaining national representation at season's end could become a divisive political issue Personally, two premier league divisions of 16 clubs would get my support. Saints should qualify for one of these!

It seems inevitable but crassly stupid, short sighted and immoral in the light of the existential crises surrounding our environment. How are a few tens of thousands more unnecessary flights per year going to help reverse climate change? Money is the king so we'll all go to hell in a hand basket.

We won't get anything for him. Who in their right minds will take him off our hands? We may have to offer him plus £15m to clinch a deal.

I've never bought into the idea that we only ever beat very poor teams. We systematically destroyed Blackburn with superb controlled football that stretched the opposition to breaking point both physically and mentally. The timing of the late goals was irrelevant, we had squandered clear cut chance after chance including a penalty long before that and should have been 5-0 up at 90 minutes. As for Adams, I doubt many will know or care if he is still around or long gone at the end of January.

Who said that apart from you. You made it up. If we get promoted he'll sign a new contract. He knows he's loved here and will be our player of the year.

I admire your optimism but be real man, he isn't going to be any more effective in our system than Adams. This will be an unnecessary disruption to our progress that we simply don't need

How can they score goals when they are sat on the bench most of the time?

I cannot believe there is a serious intention of bringing Ings back here. To do what exactly? Arrest the development of Mara and Alcaraz by denying them pitch time? Ings at the expense of losing KWP, no effing way. Do we ever learn?

Practice makes perfect, we could be the best in the world at the passing game next season? [P.S. We still have to keep the ball out of our net and find a way of putting it in their net of course.] Had we played them yesterday we might have beaten them.

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.
