Cardiff are 2 up at United... has Solskjaer lost the dressing room ? First time he's seen Cardiff win 😉. Apparently on the walkround after as they passed the Taffs they were singing " you're getting sacked in the morning" to him 😂 |

Saints supporters will argue that their players were "on the beach", but they were held by the better of two average sides today. Redmond apart, they offered little, despite some slick passing phases. Town clearly had greater desire, cheered on by excellent fans, There were some average performances, such as Smith (regular readers will know he is not my favourite player) and Mbenza. There were good performances, too. Coleman did very well, and was not at fault with the (good) goal. Schindler and Stankovic were steady. Bacuna had a good first half. Hogg was industrious and dirty, as always, and kept the dangerous Hjobjerg out of the game. Pritchard was frustrating: he works hard but is often lightweight. His afternoon was summed up by the most appalling free kick ever followed by hard work and a deserved goal. Grant will do well in the Championship, but needs to learn to head a ball. Mooy was all energy and commitment. He reads the game well, but lacks imagination, at times. MOM was Kongolo. He was truly excellent, and I do hope he stays. Saints fans to whom I spoke all agreed we were worth at least a point. Many said they will miss us, and will miss the trips to Huddersfield, with special reference to the Head of Steam and the Sportsman. And we will miss the Guide Dog. |

Lads have done great, looking forward to nxt year. Hope a lot of you wankers on ear stop slagging the players and club off Start a new fresh lads the world is ur oyster COME ON YOU BOYS IN BLUE I agree that we now start again, Mayor, but can you tell me why I am a "wanker" if I happen to think that the lads haven't "done great" ? Relative to the division, for me, this is the season when we have deserved relegation more than any other Town team in my lifetime - whatever yardstick you use - and I remember the days when we were bottom of the old fourth division. Sorry mate don’t mean to offend But I is a person who never slags my club off Regardless WE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SING OF VICTOREEEEE |

Good result from an average performance I thought. A better team would have punished us however I am happy with the point and the unbeaten May record. If that is the team that we hope is going to be here in August then I have serious doubts over Smith and Mbenza. Smith got torn apart in the first half and resorted to his usual hopeless hoofs down the field in the second half. We need a faster and more composed right back next year. Mbenza is completely clueless off the ball. He makes no off the ball runs and has no awareness of his surroundings. Not an effective dribbler either given his pace. Smith will be fine in the championship. He was up against Redmond who had a great game. Mbenza, as you say, is positionally clueless. He's OK with the ball but without it he doesn't know how to make space for himself or who to track defensively. Wagner's possession tactics allowed our defence to look a lot better than they were in the play-off winning season IMO. Under Siewert, our defence will be a lot more exposed and any player with a bit of a pace will cause Smith (and the likes of Lowe) trouble. |

They are probably the most deserving of relegation, but no other team have remotely been up against it like this one. This is easily the best overall League in the world and there's a large disparity of wealth to boot. |

Given how narrow the wingers played and how high the full backs were, if anything they were more likely to be 1 on 1 with a winger in the championship year. The other thing is the pacy wingers in the championship tend to be fairly predictable, otherwise they'd be playing higher. |

Just got home, I've had worse days following Town.
Good farewell performance, best ref for the last two years, free yellow shirt, good support from the Town fans oh and
" That fat bastard, he's one of your own."
You probably had to be there!

Had a tear in my eye when all the backroom staff came out and received applause. Wonderful support from our fans. Great gesture from the club with the shirts. Excellent attitude from the players today and a well-deserved point which could have been 3 if we had any quality in the final third. Thanks also, saintlyterrier, for your excellent advice earlier in the thread on parking. Easiest ever getaway from a prem ground. Cheers. the club and fans did well today. we move on |

Just watched the highlights because, to be honest, quite a lot of drink had been taken. Why the chuff does Smith show Redmond the inside? Anyhow. What a good day. We scored. Admittedly I was still supping under the stand, but hey. We are staying up. He's one of your own. Top stuff.

Admittedly I was still supping under the stand, but hey. We are staying up. He's one of your own. Top stuff. Precisely. As Redmond made that run, the bloke behind me was shouting repeatedly: “don’t let him cut inside onto his right foot” It was dreadful defending. |

Great day out yesterday. Once again our fans were great. I am so glad Town are my team. Loads of backing all game. We really are the best. Some funny stuff too. Plus a free shirt too. Just grand it was. The lads and lasses there, take a bow. Terrific stuff. TTID

That explains why the game stopped 😂. The program I was watching had a middle Eastern commentary, which was also lagging behind the game. I assumed it was a streaker, thank god he kept his clothes on! |

What was Gunn thinking. Trying to fake clear the ball past Pritchard? What you don't get from the tv is 30 seconds earlier Pritchard made a total pigs ear of a free kick from just outside the penalty box - I think Glennon mentions it during commentary and if you were there you can tell the reason he chases the keeper down is because he's got a "mad head" on with himself, wanting to atone for wasting the set piece. Shame we can't bottle it and administer to players as required during the 90 minutes. |

Shame we can't bottle it and administer to players as required during the 90 minutes. Yeah i was there and I saw his bottled free kick. I was surprised he charged the keeper down because we rarely do when the opposition have the ball with the keeper. Maybe Pritchard meant to bottle the free kick out of pure genius 😂 |

. He was up against Redmond who had a great game.
