Sorry for the long absence ladies and gents but I have been there home and away. Tonight is what I have been waiting for for way too long. On paper we look weak compared to Saints but we are where we are and I am really looking forward to seeing those lads take to the field.

COME ON YOU LEEEEEEEEIGH.

Here here.





Welcome back bud.

Hi Satanic, I did pose the same question on these pages some 6 weeks ago about the lack of recriutment, I was advised by those who seem to have some connections within the club to wait and see it would be much improved by the beginning of the season, not long to go now is there?



When was the right time, and who are the right people or am I mistakingly considering this is a debating platform?

Your failure to ask about your your season ticket is what your whinging is really all about



If we signed the fox jimmy the jet and turbo tommy you would be saying but we've not signed tony cooke



Forget the know nowts on here wait til Mr Beaumont says hes spent up for this year



Perhaps you could tell us exactly who you would sign why and how

A little more composure and that first half could have carried a different score.

We are playing well starving saints of the ball and making saints give to many penalties Away Ellis kicking game is class

A bottle of nice red wine and a win. Happy.

Ellis MOM for me. Melllor and Russel sublime.

Finally we agree

let’s hope we can back it up week in week out and we won’t be far off survival

I hope you enjoyed the game Harry.

I thought you did really well today. Of course it's daft to take much from friendlies overall, but there were positives for you. Your kicking game was excellent and defensively you looked well organised. You look like you have a real chance of staying up if you focus on your home games in particular.



As for us, I'm not sure what that was all about. We only have one friendly so really could have done with keeping the changes to a minimum, like a regular game. Instead once we got in front we seemed to throw all the kids on and completely removed any momentum and chemistry we had. There are starting players going into the season with about 20 minutes gametime under their belt. I can easily see a slow start by us this year.

We had 6 of our new signings unavailable, plus there are more signings to come in due course,so overall, I was happy with that performance considering we haven't played a game for a year. BTW - How biased is Jon Wilkin?
