Fair Comment. The early knock was severe and he did work throughout the match. It wasn't so much a criticism of him (other than I think there were a few times he chose the wrong option) as his commitment is there for all to see. Its more to do with fans and their inability to praise a perceived poor player when he's had a good game and vice versa. He has been very good for us this year but as we were outmuscled today, I agree there was little he could do on his own....which is perhaps why he should have stuck to a more structured game.

In hindsight, the loss is more to do with our tough last three games compared to the Pie Gobblers's three and there subsequent performance.

Easily your best player, he scared the life out of me every time he touched the ball. It seemed like he could break our line at will, I'm very grateful he had no backup !

Did we have any attacks at all in the second half?

We created plenty of overlaps, but it seemed a team wide initiative that as soon as space was found, the correct thing to do is simply let the ball fall to ground.

Same here. The ease with which that first try was scored after Green dropped off him in the tackle had me seriously nervous!

the times weve been shafted by this clown when playing you lot..that comment made me smile....

Just got back from my holidays, is the game worth watching? From what I've read, senior players let us down and there was a lack of passion. Anything else to add to that?

The first half is ok although it'll leave you feeling frustrated at our defensive ineptitude but I really wouldn't bother with the second half. You'll just walk out of the room in disgust! Put it this way, anyone with even half a life has a better way to spend 40 minutes than watching Saints playing at their most incompetent.

Offside from kickoff and knocking on from kickoff pretty much sums it up for us. Enthusiasm and aggression beat us again, as it has more often than not with Wane in charge. He can get them up for a derby, whereas it seems Brown can't. Average players with a bit of fire and motivation, that's all, something we can't match on derby day.

Off side at this kick off was a joke. I hate it when a ref gives that. If they give it once they have to do it every time and most teams are off side from the kick offs.

On this occasion though Silverdud couldn't ignore it because Richards was a mile offside. He was so offside it was ridiculous.
