    Ralph sounded very disappointed. Think he has just realised how this is all going to pan out

    It was a totally unrelated Nigel Tufnel - lead guitarist with Spinal Tap...

    Whatever does Ely offer to be brought on as a sub let alone to be in the squad in the first place ?

    No. I think he realised he's still got a lot of work to do in the remaining 12 games.

    Why couldn't we have had loaned some one. We off loaded a lot of expense ourselves surely there must have been some spare!!! We have had all that money coming in for Virgil and TV money so why are we in such dire straits financially. Is somebody taking some money out of the club?

    We don't know how it will pan out.
    But today has confirmed it will be tough.
    I feel a few people will benefit from that.
    Nowhere to hide now. We are exposed.

    He was one of the three attacking players available to Saints for this match. All three played.

    Did we make them look good though. I know they won, but they were always going to be a dogged, resolute, physical and well organised team. We always have problems against teams like that because our squad just isn't good enough.

    We were ****ing ****e, and Cardiff were ****ing ****e.

    But we fell for their ****ty game plan of slowing the game and working for set pieces.

    Valery was the only Saints player to have a good game.

    We made them look good enough to score twice...if they had beaten us 1 nil then I would have agreed with you.

    You're selling us short there. We had quite the attacking force available today.


    Redmond*, Long, Austin, Gallagher and Alien Lucy.




    *Redmond being the only shining light.

    They had that before. No doubt recent events have given them a boost, but they already had heart. I noticed that when we played them at Ninian

    Yep. We’re in a relegation battle. But we always were.

    We’ll pick up points against better sides than Cardiff; but then, so will they.

    It’s easy to bid when you know you won’t win.

    We are behaving more like a team that is desperately trying to save money than one that simply wants to tighten the squad or whatever drivel they are feeding us.

    Shame Valery didn’t score today, a little bit more confidence coming through in this performance.

    Agree with Charlie Nicholas on Sky, that playing Long was an error, we didn’t need work rate up top
