BJBSAINTS

Home games since Ronald went have been so average. My 11 year old son put the free scarf over his eyes today and wanted to go to sleep! He used love turning up to watch that attacking side which entertained and scored goals for fun....

I went to the game with a glimmer of hope after last Saturday. That pretty much disappeared when I saw us line up: right back at left wing back, creative mid at right wing back and three Centre halves with not a clue between them. Stephens tbf was the only one who showed a bit of ability. Vestegaard another performance which makes you wonder how he is a pro player let alone getting a game in the premier league. Ralf has lost the plot, tactically and team selection??? Boufal a bright light after the break but no doubt will be on the bench again next game. Woeful, no plan, no energy and no bite. Next two at home without 6 points and we are gone and it’s not even December yet.

Great times and a top bloke! Memories of that Plymouth away game got me all emotional. Ha!

I have the yellow flame shirt signed by team at the time, need to get it out the loft and into a frame. Great shirt that one

Saints legend for sure and like some have said the best £1m we've ever spent. Good luck SRL, I'll be hoping you score a few at the World Cup.

He hardly made one pass all day that went to a red shirt. But as above off day in an otherwise decent season so far

Fox covers himself in glory yet again.....

One in from Barcelona, loan with option to sign at end of deal.

Cortese is a joke. Saddest day for the club in a longtime and we've some pretty shocking ones. Thank you to sir Nigel Adkins for the job you've done

I saw Paul Jones in hedge end the other day looked he still looked like hcdajfu!

Yoshida is shocking. Absolutely no positional sense at all.

Plymouth 3v1. Mental beer up the night before in Plymouth and a quality atmosphere at the game signing on the pitch until all the crazy old bill dogs came trooping out!

Good start! November looks like key month....

City away. Good start!

6 in 6, the fat lad from Sheffield scores goals.

Bit of banter, if that ruined your night you need to seek help.

Can't wait for the game but nervous as hell. Early goal from Chappy please then play to our strengths, 3v1 to us coys

As a former keeper myself that was was unbelievably good from skd. The save from becchio was world class and the celebrations at the end from the boys show what he means to the team. Legend.

I just think he plays alot better with Harding in the team, they seem to be on the same wave length. If you think back to last year a hell of alot of our good play and goals were created and scored by Harding overlapping down the left and either been put in by Lallana to cross or allowing Lallana to cut inside and get shots away. Fox imo has no desire to get past the half way line and is content in hitting diagonal balls up field. Not having a pop at Fox because he is a decent player and probably a better defender but he doesn't get the best out of Adam for sure.

He would be a welcome addition back to the squad if he can sort his differences out with NA. He has the pace and ability to score goals which are midfield is lacking at the moment. A genuine handful in his league and IF he comes in and starts scoring goals I will welcome him back on the bus.

This. Thought he was really up for it yesterday when they came out to warm up and also when celebrating the goal. If anyone is happy to come off in such a big game they shouldn't start.

Jos, Hammond or cork all class today.

Twice so far. Alan Knight's testimonial, and england under 21 game. Now looking forward to the third on sunday to prove there really is only one team in 'Ampshire.

This. We need positivity not all these negative thoughts, thankfully Nige will be be putting the right vibes out and ensuring there is no repeat of the spineless '05 performance. If Bart plays he'll probably have a blinder, save a penalty and everyone will forget last week...... Saints 2v1

I can't wait for sunday haven't looked forward to a game as much as this for a long long time........let just hope the 11 on the pitch are up for it as much as the fans, if we start well i can see a great day on the horizon. COYR
