This thread is embaressing, some people need no encouragement to slate Guly. He had nothing to do with todays defensive frailties. In all honesty he would probably do a better job at left back than Fox and at centre back than Fonte

Been to many a northern ireland match, great song, great player

Can all the doom and gloom posters now shut the f*** up, have some faith!!!!

Typical.....its all doom and gloom. This time next week we could be 6 points better and on our way up. Be positive for once

Yeah me too, Guly.

Is he not our 2nd top scorer? Is he not in the top 20 goalscorers in the league? FFS some people need to wind their necks in. Ok he hasnt been great recently, but he has been a key player to our season

And our second top scorer and fourth top scorer in the championship.....i think he was right second time

Dont think brum will win the league. Just like us back in november, they are on a very good run but they wont sustain it and will have another spell of indifferent results, this league does that. This game could start a good run in Feb which can leave us sitting pretty going into the last 12 or so games. Going for a hard fought 2-1 win

Its mcClean

Same as the MLS yet Donovan played for Everton within days of signing. Being a professional footballer they keep their fitness levels up when not playing and I expect Tadanari Lee to be no different

Hes terrible for arsenal, no thanks

We beat barnsley away i think you will find

He is always going to say this, doesnt want to undermine current squad by saying we definetly need new players. We will make signings

Lovely sentiment aimed at your fellow saints fan

Free kicks are tough to score so wouldnt read much in2 it. Beckham im sure probably only scored 1 every 7/8. Roberto carlos 1 every 2000 lol. As long as he keeps banging them in from open play and pens im happy. Im sure he will score a free kick soon enough.

Wouldnt have him im afraid. After seeing him play for Northern Ireland on many occasion he is good with set plays...but we have ricky and foxy who can take them. He cant tackle and is a lazy midfielder. Not better than what we already so no thanks

Oh ffs!!! We are currently top of the league and we lost a game that looking at the team NA picked, we werent fussed about anyways. Get a grip!!!! Our away league record is 9 points from 21, not too bad (close to 1.5 points average per game). Our two defeats were leicester where we should have got at least a point and cardiff were we had an off day. If we keep our fantastic home form up and get close to 1.5 points per game away from home, like were doing and we will still be sitting pretty at the top of the league

Im pretty sure that we can get him for much less than the 2million celtic paid for him. He doesnt seem wanted there anymore. Anythin around a million would be a steal because he has shown his quality already

Which current saints player is this then? He already has made efforts to listen to fans views through the regular fans q&a meetings he has hosted. Hes here to do a job and to be honest hes done a tremendous one so far. With his outspoken personality not everyone is going to love the guy but as long as he keeps putting the club first thatl do nicely for 9/10 saints fans

Just seen pablo ibanez signed for birmingham, seen him play a bit and is a good defender, would have been a good signing. But i have faith in NA that Hooiveld will do well.

Seriously hope NC has held firm again and got a decent fee for puncheon, not a loan. Anything above a million and were laughing

All this talk of 'could have had Gorkss, could have had Jamal' is plain ridiculous. 99% of saints fans know anything of these players just like Hooiveld. Judge him on the pitch, not on the basis that Neil Lennon didnt rate him. In NA we trust. I dont think this was a panic buy as i believe NA and NC dont operate this way. Therefore the guy has talent so lets get behind him. Furthermore, if it doesnt work out like many on here are probably hoping, its only a loan til jan.

As im a big northern ireland fan, i quite like them. Helps give me a break from the stress of following saints all season!! Only time i dont like them is when were on a great run and it breaks up the momentum....but as were coming off a defeat, not too fussed.

Think we could be put in the second group ahead of leeds, they could struggle this year, no major new additions and missing two main strikers for a few months

Yes us, the championship final day escape season shirt had a flybe sponsor that was the same material as the shirt
