Phew! A rollercoaster game to end a rollercoaster season saw Saints survive by the skin of their teeth. Why an extra 10,000 people suddenly felt the club was worth supporting for one day I don’t know but Saints were glad they did at the atmosphere generated was the best since our relegation and roared [...]

If the Bristol City game showed why Saints should be challenging for promotion, then this defeat showed why we’re battling relegation. Since relegation from the premiership I’ve lost count of the number of games which follow the same pattern: Saints dominate possession, opposition defend and hoof, we don’t create any real chances and get caught [...]

Saints endured another thrashing, this time at the hands of Hull, and slided back into the relegation mire. Michael Poke was injured in the warm-up but was still preferred to play in goal over Andrej Pernecky. If Saints weren’t willing to play him over the injured Poke it does raise the question of why [...]
