Have Saints really trained out all of Livramento’s desire to take someone on?

Bizarre that he’s no longer driving forward and just going backwards - it’s really held up our play.

Agreed. He hasn't tried to beat a man since he returned. Perhaps he is not fully sharp. Still unsure why we have changed the winning side with Perroud and KWP.

Only one team looks remotely like scoring and it ain't Saints.

except then when we were a nails width from scoring...possibly offside mind.

Not me. Ralph always seems to want to shoehorn Livramento in and force KWP into his wrong position. Lacks balance.

Yeah. Surprising that they let us in but no conviction in the finish.

there will come a point where play will just go on past those fallen with "cramp"

is a player has cramp, fuck him. Should just be fitter. You don't stop and wait for a player that is slower than you, so why stop for a player that is less fit?

Like you said, we don't look like scoring. Sadly.

Fixture congestion showing for us at the moment i think - i.e. we're lacking time to prepare between matches. Typical that in this instance it was caused by Newcastle skiving off a match so they could make new singings, and then two of their main signings score their first goals against us. I'm sure Ralph's pre match chat did nothing to motivate the Newcastle players mind...

All sorts of arms out to hold adams back there..

I thought that was the chance. Excellently crafted again. We've not been great, but we've not been terribly either.

So much of the ball. Fuck all with it. Fed up of the same flat end to the season when we are ‘safe’. 

I hope we do not go out of the cup with a whimper!

I've been boring about this for ages but Saints just have no idea in the final third. It's pointless having loads of possession if you do eff all with it.

Seems ironic that Newcastle will probably finish higher than us.

Have to admire them and Eddie. Newcastle fans demand it, whereas Saints .... well, we're just happy with how it is I guess.

Well, that was shit. Second half was an absolute disaster.

We pretty much confirmed ourselves as the most streaky team, ever. We go from one extreme to the other, there's no middle ground with us. We can't seem to get results over the line when we play poorly.

There is no justice in this world though, it just had to be the two players they'd signed in January who won this game. No fairness in life I think we've all come to learn.

Onto Sunday I guess, Watford will want to bounce back though and that won't be easy. I hope we're not going in the direction I fear we are, i.e an amazing run of form followed by an absolute load of abject trash over a prolonged period, like we've done before.

You always know a run of shit results is just round the corner, so you just have to enjoy the good times whilst they last.

Hopefully Watford are so bad that we couldn’t possibly make it 3 defeats in a row.

Just not at it today, bit of bad luck at times but that happens.

Newcastle, predictably, won using £75m or so of Jan transfers scoring the goals, Ralph was right to complain. It's a completely different team post saudi money.

broja is so overrated. 

If only you'd mentioned this BEFORE his form dropped off you'd now be hailed a genius on here... ;)
