    Wonder if we’ll hear that when they play their home matches in the European stuff here next season? I heard that’s likely if they qualify?

    For those upset about Alcarez, it’s only gonna get worse in the summer when we undoubtedly offload our best again and keep the ****e.

    Don’t worry it’s only been 8 years for Bednerak I’m sure he’s only a couple seasons away from being able to lead a defensive line for 90 minutes we may as well keep him and sell Dibling and Sulemana.

    Yeah, I hate to say it but it's something that's been niggling away at me for a few weeks....god forbid but it'd just take a dip in form and I can see the dreaded "R" word insidiously worming its way into our thoughts!

    Have we left it too late to push for European places?

    It was about 10% win ratio. I did not realise the stats were that bad.

    One thing I noticed yesterday was that KWP was the only one who made a proper effort to clap the fans with most the others barely leaving the centre circle.

    Do we think the club will bother with the 'lap of appreciation' this year <laugh>

    If we couldn’t raise our game yesterday, then there are no signs that we will win any of the remaining games, or even get any draws. 2 wins, 3 draws shows we are a championship team, and not even a good one.

    I’d gone by then on the 6th minute of additional time. Tbh with the boos from some, and the ridiculous, verbal abuse given to Smallbone I’m not surprised they took that option.

    Still pissed off about that. Imagine booing off one of your own; regardless of ability, what you think of him, he's a lad whose been with us since 8 years old. A local lad and a saints fan. Doing his absolutely best and our fans (i use that term lightly) do nothing but abuse him.

    Some of our fanbase are an utter embrassment to the club.

    Agree and don't. The reaction to the Smallbone sub was pathetic frankly as it's not his fault he's not good enough, it's the managers for playing him.

    But on the flip side after the season we've had the players should absolutely take their medicine imo.

    For me, absolutely boo the team off. They deserve it as a collective.

    But I do draw a line at booing an individual substitution; unless they've done something utterly ridiculous or shameful, just don't go there. Let them walk off in silence if you don't want to applaud them.

    In the case of Smallbone individually, he's barely played all season, and is literally one of our own trying his best in an absolute ****show. Utterly shameful to boo him off.
