we are crap

oh dear seabourne is on, id much prefer Martin, we seem to win when he plays.

i predicted this result and we still make 2nd, all going to plan for my predition league.

A very tough game, Rochdale are very good at home.

agree they have won it and fair play to them now lets get 2nd!

i had saints with 83 points in 2nd 1 point ahead of P`bough with Rochdale grabbing 6th but i had us drawing tonight so atm we're ahead of what i think. I need Huddersfield to slip up against Rochdale, P`bough and Brighton and us to draw with Brighton then my preditions will almost be right. Btw i had us losing against Rochdale so anything gained from that game i'll be delighted

hmmm my prediction league almost looks what it is now very interesting...

might as well see what this stephens is like, get gully off and move AL into a more centre role

oh well always next season, we wont win the play offs at this rate

i like this guy reminds me of matty oakley, and Hammond has been playing very well of late id like to see these 2 in our midfield next game. Chappers has been a great for us but i dont think he's played all that well since that man utd game and he tends to get booked alot so a suspension could be close. We could play all 3 across the middle and play AL, if fit in the hole (free role) since we will be without Oxo and N'Guessan is just crap.

agree, he is ****e!

Those injuries will cost us, our replacements are crap. A bit ****ed off atm id rather us been on equal points with them games in hand on huddersfield.

me too Nguessan is pants, we bought forte so lets start using him. This is a big blow losing AL.

Never say that! for me its automatic promo or another season in league1 the games in hand are building up and we'll be playing too many game close together soon, i have a feeling we wont do alot in the playoffs, hope im wrong but its that feeling i had when we were in the play offs a few years back.

if any of them were to happen id go for forte, i do not rate n'guessan.

Another 2 points dropped, it annoys me sooo much with the team we have we should beating teams like this week in week out but we cant so there is defo something wrong somewhere. Yes we went on a good winning streak scoring a sh!t load of goals but at the end of the season that counts to nothing if we dont go up. I wouldnt count on winning the promotion playoffs either, it only takes one silly tackle to lose the game. A win tonight with Bournemouth and Huddersfield drawing would of of been a real bonus and with us having games in hand isnt a good sign, we'll have to play alot of games very close together. For me Hammond needed to be dropped i still think Chappers and Morgan is our best CM partnership i also think we should play Barnard instead of Guly for away games, Guly does seem play alot better when we're at home. Going back to what the OP is saying, Brighton do have a good side who can play together whatever way they are being told by the manager, they might change tactics depending who they are playing while NA always wants to play this passing style which in my view looks nice but does not always work, id rather see us win by playing a scappy game than seeing us drew or lose but playing really nice football. The passing type of game works well at most premier grounds because they are all nice playing surfaces for that type of game the lower leagues (apart from a few selected grounds ie old prem clubs) have crappy surfaces and smaller pitches so NA needs to start changing tactics depending who we play.

cms looks very good indeed

from the sun : SOUTHAMPTON are ready to fight off Manchester United and Liverpool to keep £10million-rated teen sensation Alex Chamberlain, 17. Saints chairman Nicola Cortese said: "Alex isn't going anywhere. He's a great prospect for the future but not the transfer market. "I don't think he would wish to be anywhere else." NC knows he needs to keep his players if he wants to see his dream come true i dont think he will sell, not while we are in a good situation anyways.

id play chambo upfront for his pace if punch becomes a regular in the team again of course now we have a good option to rest strikers if we had to play 2 games in quick succession as they all seem to be playing well. I dont think we should sell Chambo not for any money, we need to stay strong and keep our good players together for as long as possible so they can gel and become very hard to beat. Tbh if its right we have a shed full of money we dont need to sell.

hope so this is where he has scored all of his goals for millwall from and thats where he should be playing, resting oxo isnt a bad thing but id like to see him come on upfront to give that much needed pace upfront.

I recently went to an Aldershot game when they played Brentford in the cup as my friend is a die hard Shots supporter and it was for his birthday, Brentford were terrible (so were Aldershot to be fair). The shots only scored one goal but could have been more as thier defence was very poor. I really cant believe we lost to these.

I think ppl should stop saying he's not scored enough, he's a defensive midfielder which he is captain of the under 21's french team. NA was the one who told him to shoot more hense the reason for him in shooting alot more now but thats not his game, AP let him play his type of game last season and he was great for us. why do ppl say they would rather have chappers instead of morgan? has anyone considered Hammond being our weaklink? Chappers in the middle tackling and getting forward with morgan behind him doing the creative stuff would be our best bet. But i would change formation and use the 4-5-1 since RL is useless atm then we can have hammond/morgan and chappers all in the middle.

infact morgan and chaplow are better than hammond but managers never drop the captain, just because it was hammond and chappers on sat and we won does not make it our best central midfield partnership, everyone has been saying Hammond has not been that good this season. Brighton and Peterbough are different teams if we had the same team we had on saturday it does not mean that we would have won tonight.

cause last year we played 451 away from home and that suited us, this 442 aint working, lambo and barny upfront never seem to gel

just said to a friend we wont score today just before they scored so now theres my 0-0 down the drain!
