Stoke Away Won 0 – 1
It seems that the only thing rarer than an unchanged Southampton team is a Bazunu clean sheet, but we were treated to both at Stoke. There was more ‘we won’t change our methods’ talk from the manager in the build-up but the evidence on the pitch suggests the opposite. I don’t have the stats to […]

Leeds Home Won 3 – 1
With a run of four defeats behind them and visitors Leeds reportedly playing better than their 13 points suggested, there was not much pre-match confidence about this encounter, and the announcement of a team lacking an obvious defensive midfielder didn’t help in that respect. Crucially, though, we had Walker-Peters in his correct position on the […]

Middlesbrough Away Lost 2 – 1
After the Ipswich defeat, Manager Martin seemed find everyone but himself at fault. Even when he does accept some blame, it somehow gets deflected – witness Holgate-gate after Sunderland when the player was hung out to dry by the coach saying he shouldn’t have picked him. Holgate was back at Middlesbrough, replacing Manning in a […]

Ipswich Home Lost 0 – 1
Manager Martin gives every impression of becoming more obstinate with ‘the system’ the more he comes under pressure, and the only change to face Ipswich was enforced: Aribo in for the injured Downes, possibly because he presents a bigger obstacle than the alternatives in a fragile midfield. It meant more passing out from deep defence, […]

Leicester Home Lost 1 – 4
Those of an optimistic persuasion left Sunderland expecting our side to learn from a heavy defeat. My view was that the game showed that canny managers like Tony Mowbray know how to counter Russball, but it’s also true that Saints could have coped better than they did. Thirteen days on, along come Leicester and nothing […]
Friday Sep 1st Ex (Nat West) Blues v London Saints – 35 overs – and the breaking of traditions
Ex (Nat West) Blues 215 all out (Rogers 4 – 17, Berkeley 2 – 27) London Saints 188 (Price 46, McIntyre 43, Pearce 24) The end of another season, our 43rd, saw a slight difference this year – it was dry, not from the heavens above but courteous of the rail strikes (which meant that […]
