    I hear there is another Saints website where fans are less reasonable than here? Not sure I'd survive down in those depths :D

    Well you can continue to be as petulant as ever but we're going to be like this until January without a lead striker unfortunately.

    But it’s always Groundhog Day.

    Not sure we will. There was a lot to be positive about today, we’re just lacking confidence in front of goal. We’ll win most games playing like that.

    Bit too much strolling around in the second half for my liking. Need more urgency.

    A terribly disappointing result (again)

    We have very good players. We need to keep faith. That was a massive improvement say on the Pompey game.

    We need a bit of luck, bag some confidence and we could go on a good run

    Think I’m going to leave the forum for today until everyone has a chill pill by tomorrow.

    We lost momentum last 15 minutes as were trying to play through Swansea who had everyone deep. The problem is it is our only option as playing it long is no use with our current attack.

    YES!!!!!

    A clean sheet! Brilliant Saints. We managed to stop eleven traffic cones from scoring. A draw is as good as a win!

    But we didn't. And the terrible draws are adding up. With the squad we have, the results are an embarrassment. Swansea are terrible. And we still couldn't keep them under pressure. We had one spell in the first half and then Jander's sitter which was the only thing of note in the second half. We should have been camped in their half all 2nd half but we weren't and it's because we're too passive and that's on the manager. No intensity at all in a must win game.

    Still missing so many good chances really hurt us.

    The last 15 minutes wouldnt matter if we had taken our chances. Truly awful up front.

    That was an utterly dreadful match to watch.

    Archer and Arma have both scored 20+ before. Both would get in almost every team in the division.

    We could be 19th in the table tonight and clearly some people are content with that.

    Whose content with that? Don't think any of us are happy with it?

    Stoke haven’t finished in the top half of the Championship since they were relegated 7 years ago. I see our future <diva>

    The main thing from today was to see patterns where we created chances for our mini men strikers. We did that, so I’m not unduly worried. Most times at least one of those chances means a goal.
