84 & 86 Semi Finals still haunt me to this day. 84 more so, still have the memory hearing the crack of Mark Wrights leg break against Liverpool.

Have to laugh at the Manning digs, i agree he's no world beater but look at the goals we have conceeded over the last two games, the majority have come from the wings, the oppo have exploited our weaknesses, for instance, last night both Brooks and Edozie played so high and wide, they offered no protection to the fullbacks, Saturday, both Huddersfields first two goals came from Mannings side but Fraser was half way up the pitch, overload of two against one. it needs to be addressed as we are so open and the worrying part is i dont know what has changed from the games before. anyway, dust ourselves down, a win Friday and we are back in the race.

True but we have another massive game on Friday, players will understand the importance.

I did like that they were showing the live scores of the other games.

Disappointed hes going tbh, always worked his socks off for the team, really came into his own driving at teams or finding spaces between the lines, more in second halves when games opened up. I still thought he had so much to offer the first side, is it a gamble ? only if Brooks/Rothwell perform. Dont think he's worth 40m though but may be back in the summer if things dont work out. Good luck to him

Was told to take our flag down within minutes of putting it up on the netting at the front, steward said no flags were allowed in the away end due to the troubles in Israel & Palestine, i asked him politely (Not) to turn round and explain why there were hundreds of flags in the home end, he had no answer !! Absolute double standards.

Even he looked suprised when he wasnt taken off 😁 I just hope Che's streak of scoring hasnt dried up, he could'nt pass to our players yesterday either, saying that he may go by the close of play Wednesday then we will be relying on Mara to get us promoted...🙄

Quite like Bazunu to the tequila song 😃 and Martin you’re the one, saints are going up again👍 and we’ve got super Russell Martin, he knows exactly what we need. 😇

I do agree with the OP and thought the same when the team came out, we were really good first half (and most of the game) yesterday apart from obviously scoring ! Norwich did score with us playing 4 at the back and I also think KWP looks better going forward at fullback. Good to have in your armoury though when matching up other sides.

1. KWP 2. Janny B 3. Gav

TBH I stood there for 96 minutes bored shitless, got to 1-1 then thought we'd have a right go but oh no we just passed the ball around at the back and nearly conceeded. this is exactly why we will not be in the automatic places, the two teams above us would have put this game to be in the first 20 minutes, also, well done to the prick behind who just kept calling everyone twats wankers for not singing, fuck me we've got some retards.

Great !! Just hope it clears by this afternoon !

Apologetic ? Just a personal view.

Personal opinion, Aribo was ok, not great, Manning ok, opens up on his left foot which Bree cant do. Defence is sorted for me. Che's a patchy goal scorer so expecting another from him Wednesday. Would like to see Frazer start but his contrubution needs to be like when he comes on as sub not like his previous start. Big away following and three points required !

KWP to the old Cedric song possibly. Definately needs to be acknowledged for the season he's having. Come on you song writers make it work

https://www.efl.com/ Interesting to see we are top of the yellow card table, second for shots and passes. Worth a 5 minute read if you're bored. 😇

Looking for a few if available, thanks 👍

Got home at 2am with the 3 points in the bag, first half, it was looking like it was only our errors that were going to gift Stoke a goal, clear foul on Stu for the free kick with the player pulling his shorts back, did'nt hear there fans until the second half, they just sat there uninterested, i did think this could be us in a few years if we dont get promotion. Saints fans were good again even though the ground was half empty and we really didnt create much. one thing i did like is we are showing some bollocks and little partnerships are forming all over the pitch, the want to win and back each other is gradually showing, the spine of the team is looking so much better as well. If only we had a centre forward to be ruthless and finish games off, enjoyed the night though and worth the trip up north 😁 Keep backing the boys. Onwards and upwards. UTS 😇

I would actually commend RM if he admitted to himself and his staff that his current tactics are just not working and decided to play a different style that suited the players better. None of us want to see another manager change and he has come across ok at the start of the season. We will see saturday/tuesday but unfortunately i dont think it will happen !!

Easy, move Che Adams out of the side, how he's still here i dont know, last season he scored two against Cambridge in the cup and we kept him, this season he's scored a couple of tap ins and then guess what, he's still here !! Just doesnt do enough for me.

I'm not buying this scar tissue bullshit, there is no hangover for Leciester and Leeds who are turning it round, They have both bought players in with a mix of experience and nowhow of how to get themselves in a position to get out of this league. Martins tatics absolutely stink at the back, i thought last season was bad but the errors i'm watching this season is not even schoolboy level, 3 shots, 3 fuckin shots on goal last night but we won the most amount of passes trophy again. i am absolutely fuming that we don't have any bollocks to fight and at least have a go and the manager blames last season when only six players who started last night from last season with three of those Aribo/Edozie/A Armstrong hardly ever playing, so sadly we are just going to drift away and be a mid table championship side just like Martins previous sides. I'm still fuming from Leciester let alone last night but i will continue to go home and away hoping we can turn this shit show around.

Don't know where you are in the Northam but from where i sit, there is good support for the team but also massive fustration when witnessing that crap the other night. Even when we went 2-1 down there was still encouragement but when we let that pathetic goal in just before HT that sort of turned the atmosphere sour. I'd also like to point out the atmosphere in the first two games of the season in the northam has been really good. I get your point but we should be doing a dam sight better and fustrations are going to boil over. Also, the attendences will start to drop (Starting with Ipswich) if we dont start producing again.

Big game, great atmosphere, looking forward to this one..."We've got super Russell Martin..."😇

I’m sure we get the benefit of the loan market when the window shuts, not ideal I know but will be interesting to see how this all plays out

Get this one started Saturday, We’ve got super Russell Martin He knows exactly what we need Stephens at the back Armstrong in attack Gonna take us up the football league 😇
