[Hopper]

ABK’s passing out has been good

Oh god the gay wave is back. 

Enough reason to instantly terminate his contract!

[Suhari]

ABK with some decent passing.

[danjosaint]

Russ's mate same as manning,  both dreadful

Swansea fans did warn us about Wood. Just such an odd signing. Horrendous player.

Cheap 5th choice, plus a signing for if we go down and lose THB. He won't play much this season I would think.

[Colinjb]

If ABK realises he has no other option, perhaps he will knuckle down and prove himself? 

Or am I thinking wishfully that he might develop a professional attitude?

If ABK doesn’t get a move away Wood will be sixth choice. Not one to worry about this season.

[saintant]

Why is Edwards playing in midfield?

[Saint Fan CaM]

ABK saves the day with a good interception.

Wishful thinking I think. Shame, because he's a hell of a player on his day. 

[SouSaint]

Edwards has also looked very suspect. 

[SambaMaverick]

It's just suicidal football

[Suhari]

ABK doing some tidy defending too.

[SNSUN]

Straight to pens this. Need a winner.

How did this questionable attitude start again? 

[obelisk]

Pretty soon we'll be able to concentrate on the league. This walking football that goes nowhere is mind-numbing.

[danjosaint]

Proper lost our way without fernandes 

 

[Toussaint]

The game is far less entertaining this half since Cardiff have pushed up and put an end to our exhibition football 

[macca155]

This defence is desperate.

ABK in fairness looks a class above but that was never in doubt

[egg]

Edwards has also looked very suspect. 

To be fair, he's making the jump from league 1, and has had to partner Wood. 

[Hopper]

His best days are definitely behind him but Lallana still has that deft close control

[Wiggles31]

Changes have made this go flat. Gone back to having zero threat since Fernandes went off. 

[Baird of the land]

Didn’t like idea of signing 2 cheap cb’s at the time.

[SNSUN]

Just now, Suhari said:

Yep. Class above Edwards and Wood. I don't think anyone questions his ability, it's always been his fitness and attitude. I'd love it if he knuckled down and I wouldn't even mind seeing him in a back 3 with Jan and THB. And I'm not a fan of the back 3.

[Wade Garrett]

Lallana’s quick 1 touch passing is brilliant.

Funny I was just thinking this and about to post the same - him and Les.

I remember watching him in the reserves before he made his breakthrough. He was very special then, and class like that (as a player) never goes. 

[skintsaint]

We are playing for pens.

[Sheaf Saint]

Ipswich currently 2-1 down to AFC Wimbledon.

[Micky]

Looking lost out there now, subs have made us weaker.

And as soon as I type that, they equalise.

ABK is good enough for the first team.

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints! 

That came off Ron's head?

Not any more!

With the exception of Fernandes, our best player

[obelisk]

Another mess of a corner.

His attitude isnt according to some on here, where did that originally come from?

Those were ‘playing on Saturday’ subs if ever I saw them.

[AlexLaw76]

Lallana is still excellent on the ball

[Master Bates]

Cardiff use too much grass dye.

[SNSUN]

Akachukwu on. Another debut.

I'm looking forward to seeing what this lad has got. Big talent by all accounts. 

[obelisk]

Not exactly peppering their goal in search of a winner are we?

[Micky]

Fans trying hard to get them over the line.

[Winchester Red]

It wasn't really a bad attitude, although being around Salisu didn't help, more a lack of momentum.

He had his shoulder problem and then wanted to go back to Germany

Maybe now he will stay and knuckle down

Not to be sneezed at.

More marinating it overnight 

[Suhari]

Another game where a TP plan B would be potentially valuable.

[SNSUN]

Winner would top off an entertaining match. 

Nice passing move there.
