I think our first eleven is as good as any other team in the championship. We have struggled recently due to injuries as we do not have the strength in depth to be able to afford losing Fonte Lallana and Lambert. If we keep those players fit I don't see any reason why we cannot consolidate second place and maybe even with a little bit of luck go for the top spot!!!! COYR's

This Harry thing is no joke George. As I explained on the previous thread my troublesome cocker spaniel Fenton has done a runner.

In hindsight I should never have allowed him to listen to the TV news. He was only partially relieved to hear that Harry's dog Rosie's bank account was innocuous. This at least eased his mind about his 'life savings' - dozens of bones buried secretly in our garden.

But I think what's really been playing on his mind is the 'bung' he took from the water collection barrel in our garden last summer. He has also heard me singing 'Pay Up Poopee' and I suspect he's got it into his head that his daily excretions are taxable activities. There was the usual queue of five dogs at the solitary lamp post in our road yesterday morning and for the first time ever Fenton refused to join it.

I have explained to him that he has nothing to worry about, especially with his abysmal writing, reading and organisational skills - and in any case the chances of HMRC ever winning anything against Poopee or anyone associated with it seem to be more remote than Tiddlesborough Utd's chances of beating Barcelona 9-0.

If I manage to get him back, I will explain that Seedhouse recommends maximum fluidity and he should pee tax-free as much as possible.

Yep that's what I think. I was hoping that Tadanari would solve the problem for us when he comes on. But he needs the ball played through quickly or over the top occasionally.

As i posted before and as Redarmy1 so rightly said we need to be havin a pop on goal!! Surely we practice taking a shot on goal in training??? We are not Arsenal who love to pass the ball round to almost the goal line! Come on Nig get um firing!! My worry is the change in formation usually after the first ten minutes? Have teams really sussed us out that much?

Tactics aren't my strongest suit I admit. But I find it hard to believe that some seem to be saying we were untouchable by anyone romping to victory time and time again at home and then overnight the whole league sussed us and we now can't buy a win. Doesn't sit right.

And if it's that easy to counter a team playing quick passing football how come Barcelona haven't been sussed? (I know they have better players than us but they are also playing against better opposition.)

Fluidity is the key :)

I'm still vv worried we don't yet know as a team how to reignite our season. W Ham can be rugged and Brum are simply ominous. We look lightweight by comparison. I really do fear we're headed for the playoffs unless Nige can break new tactical ground.

At the weekend Real Madrid were to of the Spanish League by 7 points.

The way to counter teams that close you down quickly is to improve the off the ball movement of players waiting to receive passes. Is that what is needed with the Saints or do the midfield players just need to become more compact?

I think that earlier in the season, we played with a more compact and more narrow midfield, which meant passes were shorter and more difficult to cut out, which gave us the "fluidity" that Seedhouse refers to.

But in order to achieve that compact midfield, NA played with 3 central midfielders (3 from Cork, Schneiderlin, Hammond, Chaplow) in the team, and guess what? He was slagged off for doing that, with fans saying he needed more width.

When we play with a natural wide man, we seem to lack the overlapping runs from the full backs (don't know why but that seems to be the case), so in order to give us a more compact midfield NA often goes to the diamond, which in turn frees up the wide space for the full backs to get forward.
That gets slagged off as well.

If we go on and win this league there will still be those that come on here and spout off about how "we nearly missed out on promotion" rather than rejoice in a fantastic success.

Missing out on promotion this season, would be disappointing given our good start, but there are several other teams in this league that were rightly installed as favourites to go up, ahead of us. If we should fall behind them it will be no disgrace.

Ricky and Billy for me. Why dont we all stop bickering and let the best manager we have had in modern history (including Strachan) to get on with what he knows best-getting wins for saints.

Us supporters should just get behind the team and start pretending we know about tactics,pushing up, sitting deep etc etc as football tactics are far more complex than we understand we dont know alot about football otherwise we would be in the proffesion so sit back sing loud and proud and enjoy the promtion push.

I think we have seen a number of changes taking place within the Club since November following an incredible start to the season.

Up until November we had a closely knit team and squad who were all stars, all of whom believed in one another to get the job done.

Added to this we have a wonderful manager, whose squad had minimal injuries and everything could not have been better.

We have to ask ourselves what happened to change things and what is needed to bring back the spirit that existed up until November?

I think the first thing was Chappers injury This guy has a huge impact on motivating the team, such as Marsden did a number of years ago. He is the one who motivated the team and his absence has had a big impact on the post November results.

I think the confidence the squad had has declined and it is difficult to pinpoint any explanation for this other than Chaplow's absence.

So here we are with several new players and a number of the academy players doing well. This means the closely knit squad that was so successful has been considerably enlarged.

With a much larger squad we need to regroup and ensure that the team spirit that existed prior to November remains. My fear could be that some of the players may not be happy sitting on the bench or being excluded from the squad.

It is all very well having five or six strikers but at least 2 of these strikers will not be playing regularly and how will they react to this?

You have to wonder how Gully will react if he doesn't make the team. Here is a player who scored a lot of goals and was a part of the closely knit squad that started the season together. Some criticise him when he doesn't have a good game and forget how much he has impacted on the team.

Anyway hopefully I have opened up some points for discussion as we all want to see Saints back in the Premiership .

It is how NA handles the situation from this point forward that will determine whether or not we are promoted. Hopefully NA will motivate a larger squad as successfully as he did with a smaller closely knit squad

Ron Davies was the best centre forward in Britain for ten years proves you aren't a Saints mate, Ball and Shilts would start any day.

Incorrect. Claus, killer, and antti took pride in keeping clean sheets. We are talking about thiery Henry as well nearly the best player of his era apart from zz. Why don't you come back with alternatives?

Because until Lee and Sharp turned up none of the players had the pace to do it. Last season Oxo did it.

The Sun reports they have gone into administration. And are only expecting a 10 point deduction. So never mind, eh?

Seedhouse i'm not talking about speedy forwards our back four would rather pass sideways when there is space to move the ball forward. Our middle four would rather pass the ball back to the back four instead of moving it forward. I mean the times they could be going forward five or ten yards with the ball instead of passing sideways and giving the other side time to set their defence for when the ball finally is passed forward. If we did this they have two choices ..1 back off in which case we keep going forward or 2 come towards the ball and leave gaps in behind them for our boys to exploit. That's how we use to play it in my day and it worked. Football is not rocket science it's pass and move ready to collect the return pass.
