From my Saints ST Renewal email
A new era dawns at St Mary's as we look to open a home-fan-only safe standing experience in the Northam Stand, and we want you to be at the heart of it.
Blocks 40-46, which are situated within our new Northam Safe Standing area are now on sale for you to buy any available seat in this stand at the early bird price. This price is guaranteed, regardless of the division.
If this doesn't sound like it's for you, don't worry you will have the opportunity to explore other options after the end of the season, including a priority window for other areas of the stadium.
Please note: Your current seat will not be held due to it being directly impacted by the new away stand. |

Club is attempting to force everyone into the Safe Standing Blocks with cheaper prices.
We and our group are currently in the Family Centre, so have to move.
My ticket last season cost £499, so if we move to the Notham, it stays the same with an early bird renewal.
My Daughter however has been royally shafted by the club. She is in the 18-25 price bracket and I paid £219 for her this season. To move to the Northam in the early bird window is £349 (more than 50% increase). The thing is, we all want a seat and don't really want to go in the Northam, so it will cost even more for us both (and the others in our group).
I hope they offer the 'renewal window' they suggest in the email and that it will be at early bird renewal prices - We want to renew and can pay now but don't want to be in the Northam. |

I get all your points about the players mentioned Pat, but I don't see why we pick a loan player ahead of our own, especially when he has done so little of late and clearly can't wait to leave.
I would rather give Sam AA a run out.
Sulemana I agree hasn't got a clue, but he is quick and we could have put him up against Vesti last night as something unexpected - especially as Vesti was on a yellow.
Agree that Dozie is probably L1 standard. He is so lightweight, loses the ball far too often and will try to beat the same man 2 or 3 times instead of laying it off. He needs to learn the offside rule as well.
Fraser was excellent this season, before Millwall kicked him off the park. Now he is struggling, or not showing it in training, or RM has moved him down the pecking order. I am surprised that he hasn't reverted back to the Fraser - Adams - A Arm front 3 combo yet.
2 games to find a winning combination. |

'For so long in the game I thought we were really good' - at having 66% possession and creating virtually nothing and zero shots on target. I think we tried to bore Leicester to death with continuous backwards and sideways passing, so much so that our players looked bored as well !!
Not a single player seemed up for it and Leicester even scored a breakaway goal from our corner - just like the ones we used to concede in the Prem.
3rd choice keeper - faced 6 shots on target and let in 5 !!
If RM thinks we were really good last night, he needs to watch the match again and give us his proper verdict. |

Brooks is technically very good, but has been severely lacking in the very things we needed - fight, graft, determination, chase back (especially when he loses it) and the ability to dig in.
I have said before that he is a luxury player and someone to ideally bring on at home when we are winning, so he can open up defences with his passing, or score the odd worldy.
He deficiencies were very noticeable away to Bristol City and in some of the games since then, even at home, particularly when he has started games.
He has not done enough to earn a contract with us, with any of the teams that will get promoted and won't be in the starting XI for Bournemouth next season. Another loans beckons.
I would much rather we used, or gave a chance to some of our own wingers - Sam AA, Dibling, Sulemana, Edozie, Fraser (aware he is on loan but dropped out of the starting XI despite losing the creativity of S Arm). |

Lay down and die attitude from players and management tonight.
I hear a mass boycott for the Stoke game has been suggested !! :-) |

Let's face it, everyone was absolute shit tonight - from Keeper to forward, from Manager to Coach Driver.
The game plan was to clearly bore Leicester into submission with all that sideways and backwards passing and it back-fired royally. So much so, that we were still doing it at 2-0 and 3-0.
We can only hope that Downes is being saved for the Play-Offs.
WBA successfully attacked Leicester with pace at the weekend - what do we do, fanny about with it in our own half and produce nothing. Did we note this ? No. We could have put Sulemana on to terrorise Vesti who was on a yellow, but no, we put on Lightweight Dozie 'I don't know the offside rule'. Enough said. |

Pathetic display from everyone.
Can't even get the basics right.
Nobody looks interested despite being now 4 down.
Dozie can't even stay onside FFS.
3rd choice keeper - that's why !!
Fvckin embarrassing
Leicester and Ipswich did the double over us - gifted 12 points to our rivals
RM is to blame. Poor selection and poor subs. He never learns despite saying he would. |

Offside
We are so slow and jaded
Everyone looks uninterested and nobody wants to drive us forward, despite being behind. |

It is quite laughable that over the season, RM has continually said that they will learn from these games that end in defeats, or dropped points, but the same thing continues to happen. |

I can only hope that we are saving Downes for the inevitability of the play-offs ?
Hopefully Stu will be back for them too, otherwise our midfield could be without it's best 2 performers. Oh and a 3rd choice keeper between the sticks !! |

Reply | 3 reasons why we will not get promoted
at 17:50 20 Apr 2024
1. We often don't kill teams off when we are on top
2. We often gift teams soft goals and that changes the whole game - usually for the worse
3. We didn't sign the quality keeper and striker that we have needed all season |

To be fair, it took a big deflection of Bednarek.
Our failure to convert even the simplest of chances has cost us yet again.
Sure we should have scored 5 or 6 at ease, but it shows that our 2 season long weaknesses prevail. Despite being joint top scorers in the league, we regularly fail to kill games off, present teams with an easy goal, we panic and then too often end up losing or drawing.
A Arm, S Arm, Adams, Brooks, Aribo, Smallbone all missed excellent chances today.
Oh for a quality striker and Goalkeeper. |

If we'd had a decent keeper this season, we would probably have already been promoted by now.
Baz is out til Feb
McCarthy's contact expires in June
Lumley apparently wants out in the summer, after being dropped on Tues.
Looks like we'll be signing a couple of keepers this summer.
.....but please don't extend McCarthy's contract. |

HT - Saints 1-0 up
Should quite easily be 3 or 4, but some woeful finishing.
Really need to kill the game off early in the 2nd half. |
