You could have added Pelle to that list with his bogus attempt to get a penalty by dragging his foot onto Seb's leg (Seb was facing away from him) and then falling over. Fortunately the ref didn't buy it but Pelle should have been booked for a dive.

That said, however, it could have been worse. Fortunately we now have Olsson returning to LB after the international break, which will aloow Brady to move forward to LW, and hopefully a couple of new signings before the window closes.

We really do need Olsson back as Brady does a job not nearly as effective at the top level.
 
Didn't deserve anything from that game, we were piss poor from the start. But every team will play a few bad games in a season, we'll move on and hopefully get a good reaction in the next game.

Although it's a shame we have to wait 2 weeks, I'm sure all the players will be eager to put it right.

Hopefully it will be 11 v 11 and not 10 v 12 <doh>

Even without the sending off it felt like the Saints had extra men. We were slow, laboured, sans ideas, almost lethargic - our out ball today was a hoof to Jerome and we just didn't look interested.

Well done to the Saints thought

Whittaker is a liability. He was caught for speed and out of position so it results in a foul and worse! My heart is in my mouth and has been for ages every time I see Whittaker attempt any kind of defensive duty! We cannot go on fearing he is going to gift points to the opposition at this level much longer!

I agree but their first goal scorer should have been off the park before Whitts., he was saved by a homer referee!
 
I think Whittaker is the right player for home games against the lesser or teams of the same level.

He can get you on the front foot and he played a blinder in the playoff final.

I guess it depends what people want? Attacking FB's or a more defensive setup. A la Hughton.

I would say that he gets caught out of position too often and away from home I would look at something a bit more solid:

If you were a standard run of the mill average midfielder you would fancy a run at Whittaker every time!

It's quite rare that I point a finger at a single player but today I will.....................Step up Sebastian Bassong!

First minute he gave away a needless foul, resulting in a really good effort on goal, from a team that needed something to give them a lift. Seb handed it to them on a plate. The story of the game was written at that very moment in my opinion.

Have to disagree, bloody Whittaker gave it to them on a plate, mindless sending-off, should be fined 2 weeks wages and left out of the squad for a month!!
 
In excusable performance by the majority of the team, I thought Bassong was only player who played well. We absolutely struggled against Mane but he was aloud to run riot today.
