I think I said what you’ve just written yesterday apart from we were good for the first 10 minutes as opposed to until their second, 13 minutes, not too bad now I suppose.
But
You didn’t watch it.

I listened to it and the commentators opinion and then watched the lowlights, we were lethargic, slow, uninterested and lacking, as the commentators said and that was refuted on here.
I think everyone on here agreed with that with regard to the first half.
I have truly never cared less about a Saints result as I did yesterday.
The important part was staying in the division which we achieved the week before. Despite the fact that we had 9 points when Ralph took over and Brighton has 26 or 27. Now we are two points clear of them. That is some fucking effort.
I liken that performance to leaving work and going on holiday. Stay with me here… so many times over the years I’ve been so busy and stressed at work in the run up to a holiday, trying to get shit sorted before going away, that by the time I’ve lay down on a sun lounger I get ill. The moment you allow yourself (and your immune system) to relax, you succumb to a cold etc because of how run down you are. Essentially Saints had put in such a huge effort over the last weeks and months that the moment we had achieved safety, the foot comes off the gas (summed up by Valery’s god awful pass for the first goal) and the performance levels drop. Naturally. The result is represented by the illness in my analogy. Add to that the inclusion of fringe players in to the team, it was always likely to be a difficult game.
But who cares? We got the job done and Ralph now knows (I imagine he did before though) who he can count on for next season and who he can happily jog on, assuming there are any takers.
Reasons to be cheerful, Baz.

Wanted to keep the discussion about the club away from the match day thread.
