I totally recognise that the ref cannot be expected to be right up with play but the guy last night barely left the centre circle. The incorrect decisions he made, both for and against us, were largely taken from 30 yards away and from a straight on angle, where he simply cannot see things. The lineos should pick up some of them but impossible if it is on the other side of the pitch. |

Regarding the away support and whether it was loud or not don't forget that Sky have started scrimping on the number of microphones they have around the ground and have always had the ability to turn up and down the volume from various parts of the ground. |
| Forum Reply | What has happened to the Defence? at 09:15 10 Mar 2024
Don’t really agree with any of the above. RM.has tweaked the system in response to injuries and probably to get more goals. Most teams do not commit many forward as against us so we rarely need four at the back. He plays 3 CBs and pushes 1 high. That is usually Jack S who unfortunately is not John Stones. It means when we lose the ball nobody really knows where they should be. IMO we need to go back to a classic back four. Like most possession based teams he also tells the FBs to tuck in securing the middle and inviting oppo to go wide. Most of the goals we concede are from players cutting in and shooting or cutbacks from wide to a player coming late to the box. To counter that defence and midfield need to close down much quicker. Baz is not perfect but his distribution is generally very good and I doubt any of the other keepers mentioned would do any better in our system |

Still not sure about the penalty yesterday and why it stood unless they did not see the double touch. I was surprised they replayed it on the big screens while the officials were debating since they could have looked at it despite no VAR. |

We certainly did win 2-1 with a Danny Ings winner. Singing "Stick the 9-0 up your ar%e" at the end with my teenage daughter still remains one of the highlights of my away travel, particularly after they showed the highlights of the 9-0 just before kick-off |
| Forum Reply | Fair play award for the Saints? Er I don’t think so… at 10:26 13 Feb 2024
Not really a surprise. Given the press and the high line are a major feature of our tactics then a lot of players are "taking one for the team" and committing bookable fouls to stop breakaways. Good point though because suspensions will definitely have an impact in last 10 games. |

The whole ticketing system is a mess. Seems to really struggle with trying to avoid creating single seats, and then creates a load anyway. Often I choose 2 seats which are shown as available and then it says they are not available and allocates 2 which were not shown before! Ticket exchange also never seems to get switched on. |

On the Sky Sports clip of Joe Rothwell's screamer have a look at the replay from behind the goal and look at KWP's reaction - priceless! www.skysports.com/watch/video/13068418/joe-rothwell-scores-screamer-for-the-saints |
| Forum Reply | To those who booed the team off at half time.... at 09:55 11 Feb 2024
I would concentrate on the positives, the crowd in the second half were magnificent. OK they were fired up by 5 goals but particularly at 3-2 they really got behind the team. The rendition of Stand Up was supported all around the ground, not seen that for a while. Also this is the first time during this run that RM has really had to earn his corn at half time and he has passed another test with flying colours. Regardless of results and what happens with promotion he is a class act. Conducts himself well, doesn't criticise his players in public and has a positive attitude. |

From the senior squad: Bella-Kotchap Alcatraz Onuachu Perraud Lyanco Lis Caleta-Car (although I don’t think Lyon can send him back) There are also quite a few youngsters |

I know we did not cover ourselves in glory with the Ross Stewart injury situation but just think about what we let go: Lavia = 32 mins then out with new injury Bella-Kotchap = 3 games out injured (shoulder) since October Salisu = 4 games out injured September to November Orsic = Out for season Lyanco = 3/10 Injured Livramento = Played 15/22 Tella = Played 150 mins in 17 games Djenepo = Played 15/16 Caleta-Car = Played 10/19 Perraud = Played 11/15 Diallo = Played 3/12 Dropped Elyounoussi = ever present JWP = ever present Tall Paul = ever present |

On that basis what is the point in keeping Holgate he won even be on the bench? Might as well contribute some cash to set him somewhere else. |

Tell your son not to worry. If it is only an option to buy then he will be back next season. He is a very talented player but he doesn’t have the patience for Italy where he will get kicked a lot. If £35m is true then it’s a good deal. |

He's a chippy little g*t who fell out with Eddie Howe twice. When he's happy and playing though he is top drawer and IMO the best wide player we have. RM does seem to be able to get a tune out of him. The Saudi Boys wont want him back with Gordon, Barnes and a couple of youngsters so will probably be up to us. |

Pretty punchy lineup for an away game. Charles is going to have a lot of work to do! COYR |
