20,928 on today, don't know how many Saints fans came up, I don't think I saw the Cricket end full of them, I'm surprised most of our fans seem to be grinning and bearing it at the moment, if the poor performances keep happening it cannot be long.

Not one person I know is not renewing!

That would be my point as well.

If you are 1-0 up what you need to do is not get back into a defensive shell but attack looking for the "kill-off" second goal.

We didn't do that and despite all the other "hard luck" stories at the end of the day you make your own luck.

I think it was crying out for fresh legs and new problems for their defense.

I understand the issue of leaving things alone whist winning--not wanting to upset the rhythm but you have seen enough of these types of games to surely have learnt to go for the kill rather than contain and run the clock down.

How much of the decision not to use subs was based on giving the subs more time to recover from niggles and not use them unless absolutely necessary?

We don't know.

But playing at home and 1-0 go for the second goal and keep the opposition on the back foot.

Don't give them a sniff.

And that is where we tend to fail time after time.

I found it very hard to understand why SD did not from about the 88th minute:
Replace Westwood with Marney and then...
Replace Hendrick with Wood and then...
Replace Barnes with Vokes.

Time up, game over and three points in the bag.

Perhaps we all forget SD is still learning his trade?

Don't they add on 30 secs per sub?

If that's so the changes don't add up to time off the clock?

Or am I wrong?

Why do you react so petulantly over opinions?

Why do you equate opinions as moaning and groaning.

Does that mean all your previous posts are nothing more than you having a good moan?

I am sure you will be welcome back when you return.

The substitutions break up play and my mate is an anorak with a time piece. He claims they never seem to add thirty seconds unless we are playing United!

ID Have you stayed up too late or typed before waking up. ‘‘Tis a bit of an over reaction to a few jokey responses. Didn’t have you down as a snowflake. You could be away a long time and nothing personal but I hope for the clubs sake you are.

Yes BT all reasonable options and I don’t understand why he didn’t make any subs at all and earlier in the game to try for a second. Is this a new tactic or can’t we afford the playing bonus??

I sure ID was just having a hissy fit and will be over it by teatime today.. Don't take everything to heart ..It's all about opinions mixed in with a bit of banter..
