Great goal tonight on the South Coast.Looks as if he knows where the goal is. Should we have gone in for him ? We obviously were aware of him down the road ,before his transfer. What was stopping us ?

I have watched him for Southampton (only from TV) and he didn't really impress me much Mal, I have not seen his goal tonight yet as I only viewed the 2nd half, apparently it was a stunner, but everyone scores a stunner now and again, even Vokes who I was not a fan of.
Probably the fact that we had 4 strikers already anyway.Quote:

I think....as many, that the vast majority of the game we were played off the field, Cheesy had inumerable chances to finish it, was only a combination of poor finishing and some decent keeping that saved us....our goal coming from a short period where they dropped 4 gears and took a doze...So where's the positives, yes we took a point, but it wasn't because we were anything "special....that'd need a Complete transfomation, it'd mean us playing to advance rather than stagnate....and as there's plenty of other teams that think the same, its a play the odds game...with the Burnley/Dyche fixed pattern creating a slight advantage.Quote:

We have to be realistic and accept that simply being in the PL is one heck of an achievement.
We will always face being played off the field by the top clubs. We are not the only ones that live with that.
To get a draw away at Chelsea is an great achievement, however we achieved it. Yes, Pope kept us in the game. Isn’t that what the goalkeeper is supposed to?
How often have we switched off and conceded. The fact that Chelsea did does not detract from an away point earned. Many teams in our league will go there and lose.
What was remarkable was we could and perhaps should, have nicked all three points by the final whistle.
