5string

YASSS! Good attacking intent. Fairly awful defending from Fulham, to be fair. Was that an own goal? Looked like it came off the defender's leg under pressure from JWP.

Pinball, anyone? Would be better if it wasn't around the edge of our box. We need to start pressing them again; pushing out. Another close shot for Fulham again.

Yikes, close. Gunn nearly wrong-footed.

Ooh close from Hoj. Nice play

Need to win by 6 for that, I reckon. BHA on -12 (scored 29), we were on -18 (scored 28 ) before ko.

Great ball in from Bertrand. Just out of Austin's reach. Corner... GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

Jan Valery is looking more confident, compared to a few games ago. Probably cursed him, now

Plenty of possession, getting within 20-30 yards, but then no ideas... yet. Fulham moving forward in possession, but we're keeping them at arms length, then they usually play a rubbish final ball. It's like watching Saints vs Reflection of Saints.

Poor. No way we should be losing games like this. Need to pick it up again. Ralph got his work cut out now.

We really should have won this with air left in our lungs. Disappointing performance [so far]. Come on! Desperate last few minutes. Oh, that's better.

Valery off. Gallagher on?

Yep, was good defending, but Austin then air-kicked the next one

Dunno if it was complacency or hope. Ralph got a team playing rubbish to become a team playing alright. Makes you think the players weren't so bad after all.

Austin & Mo El coming on. Long off, and... ? Vestergaard

Well well well. Been coming, hasn't it?

Gnnn, free kick in good position, played wide for a cross - pass too heavy, ball lost! Cardiff getting more confident now.

A few hospital passes being given out there.

Haha. To be fair, a few others felt it was necessary under the circumstances. Maybe - would've been very Saints-like to concede just before HT.

JWP yellow car - silly place/time to get it, really.

Definitely missing Ings: his energy & movement.

No real targets in the box when attacking. Making a lot of wrong choices, too: pass instead of carry, square instead of forward (& vice versa).

Forgot he was on the pitch

Thought they would, but then they attacked! We have to keep the pressure on.

Zaha could get an extended ban for that. Woy isn't gonna be happy. JWP did well to keep a calm head. Ok, decent chance for Saints to snatch this.
