    Last season was a hellish journey. Don’t want another one like that.

    I always like us to win at home but sometimes you just have to appreciate a crazy and entertaining match. For those interested, my knob head mate who travelled to Norfolk to watch the game, got a ticket for the Ipswich Stoke game at the away end only to see them lose 2-0.

    Much more positive this week than last week

    Even just make 1 or 2 defensive howlers and we win that game pretty comfortably. Scored 4 and probably should’ve had a couple more if we had Norwich level of finishing

    Surely the defence can’t be that **** every week so if this is a sign of things to come then we should be right in the mix at the end of the season

    Two 4-4s on the trot at home, we need a defensive coach immediately.

    The fact that we got two penalties means we must have been doing more attacking in their area than previously. 69% possession and 4 goals. That’s not my Saints. My Saints don’t do goal fests and come backs.

    Hmm, almost cost a goal from his freekick spill - saved by offside.

    I want to stick with him as I think he will come good, but we are making enough errors as it is this season.

    I was so engrossed in the game I haven't even checked the other results.
    The Championship is giving us our mojo back.

    No need to watch anyone else. The rule is; if you average 2 points per game, you get automatically promoted.

    He’s terrible. Just watched the cross come in for their first goal.

    I thought we’d learn a lot about the team from today.

    Safe to say I have learnt absolutely **** all. <laugh>

    Very very promising going forward but suicidal at the back. Which I guess is progress from being **** at both ends.

    Going to be a fun season. I still think we have picked a good manager. Really like him, subs were sensible and positive and he’s bringing the confidence out in the side.

    There is a chance we could really click under him

    I will enjoy watching PL games on Match of The Day tonight, knowing Saints won't be playing on there and losing :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Yeah after thinking we were pretty **** last week with the keep ball don’t do anything with it this week we looked much more threatening. Could be another week working with the team on the training ground, could just be Norwich werent as defensive as Sheff Weds, but whatever it was was a big improvement.

    Defence was a shambles today, and based on Swansea fan opinions we will see more shambles because of Martins system but don’t think you can blame any of the goals today on that

    Absolutely exhausted. The game flows so much better without VAR, surely that isn't up for debate.

    Back later for a read through and more comments.

    Oh, and our home fans deserve some entertainment after the rubbish they had to watch last season.
