If Doncaster had scored in the last minute and beat us in extra time they'd be punting them out for 50 quid on the official website tomorrow |

I think his loan lasts until the 17th and I'd guess that we didn't put a clause in saying he couldn't play in the FA Cup
Seeing as he's out of contact in the summer I wouldn't be surprised if his contract is cancelled or signs for Charlton for a small fee
I like him, not a world beater but a steady performer and seems a decent pro |

Just watched the highlights on the bbc website, good double save at end
Bearing in mind that he's barely played in the last few months, there's going to be some rustiness initially.
Nice goal from Matsuki for the 3rd |

According to the radio he made a crucial double save from Billy Sharp at the end so to be fair there's another
I'll have to watch the highlights to form a proper opinion |

A disorganized rabble managed by a milksop
What could possibly go wrong?
Positives from today, we won and Bragg scored his first senior goal...erm that's about it |

The obsessive collector in me immediately thought "I'll buy that" had to give my head a wobble as I wondered when id ever wear it, I stopped wearing replica shirts when I was about 16 and that's 35 years ago |

This is rather nerdy I know but I don't know why the club don't do a collaboration/licence with Admiral and reproduce the home and away shirts from 76/77
If you look on their website you can buy an exact replica of West Hams shirt from the 1980 final for 40 quid
Years ago I managed to buy both the candy stripes home shirt, the one on my avatar, and the yellow away shirt on eBay, both in large boys size and ridiculously expensive [Post edited 9 Jan 11:32]

Reply | Peretz finally signs on loan
at 21:06 8 Jan 2026
I'm hoping Peretz makes an impact like Boruc did when we signed him
It became clear pretty quickly that Artur was a miles better keeper than Gazzaniga and Davis, even if he did have a shaky start
I took an instant liking to Artur after the incident in the Spurs game when he offered out a couple of blowhards in the crowd, all while the game was going on |

Never saw Tall Paul play in the flesh so I couldn't comment
With Bednarek I would imagine he was very keen to move on, another 46 games in the championship or likely to win a title with Porto this season, bit of a no-brainer I would imagine |

Stick him in a back 4 with full backs who can actually defend and pair him with a decent central defensive partner like Jimmy Dunne and I think he'll look much better than he's been whilst he's played for us
You can also add a more experienced manager who's not tied to a flawed tactical system |

Before my time but my dad and grandad saw him play and I have happy memories of them both telling stories about those times in the long car journeys down to The Dell
One of a select few players who scored more than 100 goals for Saints

If I recall correctly Spors described Downes as a "must have" after we signed him in the summer
Rather embarrassing that he's off after 14 games and contributed very little
Hopefully he does well at Hamburg and we get our money back as I doubt he'll be back here or be keen to return |

True, but I don't think Wilson is out with a ruptured achilles
Probably won't happen anyway, he looks like a Wrexham signing or maybe back to Coventry in an "emotional return" to help get his home town team back into the prem |

So was Patrick Bamford, who's done well enough during his short term contract at Sheffield U to possibly be moving to Ipswich
It would be a big risk, even if it was on a pay as you play deal but a short term deal until the end of the season might work?
Had to look up his stats as my recollection of him was a small nippy forward, he's 5. 11" |

Is anyone really surprised though? Poor leadership seems to go right to the very top
Its the same in any industry, I'm a painter and decorator and if I have to I sometimes do site work, on the good sites with good management its organised, the quality of work is good and it gets done on time.
On poorly managed sites its easy for a toxic culture to breed, work is shoddy and even though you start with the right intentions its hard not to unconsciously start to go through the motions, take your money and get out as quickly as possible
The point to this analogy is we signed very good championship players like Azaz and Fellows and brought back Charles and Edwards who all had fine seasons last year and they all now a shadow of what they were |

What will be a real shame is when TE is removed from the post, either if our poor form continues and were flirting with the relegation places or at the end of the season and we finish in about 15th, we'll lose another coach who was doing good work with the U21 side.
He may well turn out to be a very good young manager, but not yet.
I've read posts saying we should have appointed Danny Rohl, I agree he would have been my choice.
For all we know Saints may have approached him and he turned us down, I seem to recall him hawking himself around saying what sort of job he was looking for, at a time that he was still Wednesdays manager.
I was pleased that we appointed Still before the end of last season, it gave clarity to everyone and a full pre-season for him to get his ideas across to the players. With hindsight it was the wrong decision, but we have to be realistic about who we are and where we are right now, who we want and who would be interested in the job are two different things
Sadly I'm inclined to agree with your last sentence, SR have made more bad decisions than good and show no signs of learning from their past mistakes |

I've just realized that its 4 years ago yesterday that they took over the club
My memory of that time was a feeling of positivity, new owners with a bit of money to invest after treading water under Gao
We were also in decent form at the time and beat Brentford 4-1 just after the take over
Thinking back I think the most nuts thing they've done in those 4 years was sign striker for nearly 10 million who'd bust his achilles
For balance the highlight has been winning the playoff final, I finally got to see Saints winning a big game when it really mattered |

They have Jimmy Dunne who's an excellent championship defender and I don't think 5 at the back suits any of ours
No natural wing backs and with 3 centre halves they just look confused and don't have clear instructions or coaching of how to play in that system |
