SAINTS AT HOME TO HARTLEPOOL

Would you make any changes for this one?

No Murty,Otsemobor,Thomas,or Antonio. James only 50/50. I would bring in our reserve right back though Pards has mentioned the possibility of a loanie.

10 mins and Saints fall behind. 3 mins later Barnard puts us level. Lambert makes it 2-1 on 38 minutes.

Half-time 2-1.

56 mins and Papa Waigo puts Saints 3-1 up.............just a minute later and it's 3-2!!!!!

It's nerve-racking stuff. And what is it about players with the surname Austin and Saints?

Come on Saints, don't f*** this up please...

And Lambert wastes a corner, more of a Jonny Wilkinson drop goal than a corner kick.

Saints hold on.........it's 3-2

We were hanging on at times, oh, the nostalgia...nostalgia I could well do without. 11 points off the play-offs now, I still think it's a tall order but you never know. I'd love us to pip Swindon or Colchester, I have no time for either club.

I did the BBC predikter at the weekend and we failed by 4 points. tonight I had Colchester winning so in theory we only have to find another two points to catch them.
Better still is the way Leeds have tumbled from the top. 4 wins in 19 games could roughly translated mean that they won't get the four wins they need to stay in the playoff places.
It is certainly getting very tight.
