Hoping to make the last game of the season as I can coincide it with a trip back from Yorkshire for my mum's bday.

However, as I haven't been home much this season I haven't got a membership. £25 on top of the ticket price (2 tickets as will take the mrs) to see us in a "nothing to play for" match against Stoke seems harsh. I might just head down the New Bridge and watch it in that case..

Hey mate.

I've got a few Friends and Family linked to my season ticket, all with buying history for 2016/2017.

If you like, I'm happy to grab you a couple of tickets when they're released.

New Bridge Inn ?? #pray-for-shnozz

That was possibly the worst 2nd half we have played all season. It shows you cannot play Tadic and Boufal in the same side. Our midfield completely lost their shape when the substitutions were made. Should of been beaten really. Shows how poor Bummouth are !!

How many times was J-Rod offside (again)? It really is criminal. Does he understand the offside law at all?

Fortunate to come away with a point IMO. Can't hit a barn door without Gabbiadini

Needed that win and how Long missed so many I will never know. Some tough games ahead

Frustrating first half, much better after the break.

Thought Tadic was superb - laid a couple on a plate for Long who had a very poor night as far as finishing was concerned.

Wasn't that 10 bookings for Romeu ? If so, we're going to miss him - he's been immense for us this season.

As above, a much needed 3 points and should do wonders for the team's confidence.

Onwards to The Hawthorns.

Haven't seen any of last night's game but 3 points are very welcome. WBA away will be tricky. According to the Saints' web site this morning Romeu is on 9 yellows. I hope he isn't booked before the Chelsea game as I have a ticket for that.

Confirmed Romeu will miss WBA after 10th booking. He has been outstanding for us this season but has to stop giving away needless fouls and needless bookings.
As for Long !! I have never really rated him. He had a decent season last year but needs too many chances to convert just one. Gabbiadini would have had a hatful last night

That's a shame. Romeu really is the guy who glues it all together for Saints. He's the player we miss most when he's not playing.

Great result today. Sounds like a solid away performance with half the team out.

When is Gab back?
Why doesn't Cacaras (sp?) play?

Sounds like 3points for Fraser this afternoon. Good to get some momentum and hope that continues next Saturday

Well that was depressing.

I can't help but think we have massively under achieved this season. With our run in 45 points will be about the best we can get, a long way off last season. We no longer look convincing at home, and the football is dull.

Really think we need a change in the summer, otherwise I can see it being even more difficult next season. With this squad we should be comfortably 8th

And just to add - why does Gab only ever last 1hr, Tadic take pens and Caracas never play? confused

Dull, dreary, lacking any invention or passion and, to be honest, I'd almost lost the will to care by the time the penalty was awarded.

Caceras not playing (again) ? I can only assume there's a clause in his contract which triggers a massive pay increase the minute he steps on the pitch during a Prem game. It can't be tactical, surely.

Are they really on the beach already ?

I didn't go today but I had my first visit to Chelsea on Tuesday (nice stadium BTW).

The defence seems to be lacking and a lack of quality in front of goal. Gabbiadini barely had a sniff on Tuesday due to poor service, but Romeu was very good I thought. Was it the same today?

Wrong shape today, I thought.

Just Davis and Romeu in centre midfield, and they were overrun for big chunks of the game.

Can't really see how Tadic, Redmond and Boufal could ever line up in the same 11 - poor from Puel, IMO.

Woeful service to Gabbiadini (again) and just toothless in general.

A pretty dismal spectacle all round and spineless, questionable effort from a number of players which is most disappointing.

And why Tadic is allowed to keep taking penalties is simply beyond me.

Still, at least the pre and post match beers were enjoyable.
