    Indeed. Sounds like we've really put the effort in, but in truth could easily be heading in 3-0 down at HT.

    Yes he has. But how many games, has he been slow to react?

    Agree on both counts, Fraser’s problem seems to be not knowing how to line a wall up properly to protect both sides. That was the umpteenth time it’s happened. Also, as you say, he was caught out by Alonso taking it suddenly. Bloody annoying as Hazard was covered by Hoedtband Stephens, Yoshida didn’t need to foul him.

    I would love to see Austin, along side Gabbi now. We need a goal. Just can't see it happening though!

    Watching Forster get across and down for the goal was like watching a Sunday League GK.

    The point is its not working so make a change. This is where managers now earn their salary by making tactical changes.

    All down to MP now to do his job.

    Throughout his Saints career to date though, MP has shown very little ability in knowing how, or being willing, to change things. He just stands there, letting things continue.

    Only seen these first few minutes of the second half but we seem to be playing like a side that’s 1-0 up with 5 mins to go in a cup final.

    Although there was a minute or so there where we played (tried to clear the ball) like an under 11 side.

    Mmm... Huddersfield are winning away to Watford. Maybe next week we should park a bus, two monster trucks, a Boeing 737, and an aircraft carrier.

    So many errors, possibly due to the pressure, though it is still only one goal in it, so let's play a smash and grab :)!

    We'd still lose 1-0 from a 30 yarder that trickles towards the goal at the speed of a confused snail.

    Well that was predictable. Should have put money on it being Gabbi to come off for Austin.

    two touches might have been a bit optimistic.

    Terrifying Chelsea with our sideways and backwards passing here.

    Andy Townsend - "just watching this passage of play. Gabbiadini has made four runs, and the ball has come nowhere near him".
