The Round Ball Game - II

[Alison]

Foxes and Saints going very nicely. I’ve just about got over the disappointment of the late Ipswich equaliser on Boxing Day now.
Good to see Wednesday resuming their renaissance. Come on Buddies don’t let the Forum down!!

Goals and points are like buses...you wait ages for one and suddenly three come along...and the accompanying three points. Still fifth but 17 clear of Livi at the bottom - Celtic up next. But a good year end result for the Buddies.

Thank you Alison - I suspect there will be renaissances and fallbacks before we stagger to 20th in May! We are blessed by having an inspirational, never say die manager which fits the Owls ‘never do it the easy way’ style.

Fantastic way to end the year.
The Buddies looked great on the live score updates !!
And a decent day for Arbroath too.

New manager bounce after the legend that is Dick Campbell saw his shoogly peg slip off the Gayfield wall, ts. Not been a bad year for the Buddies - here's wishing all the forum teams a plethora of points in 2024. Happy Hoggers to all.

It's starting to look as though the Tractor Boys are trying to make the promotion battle a bit more exciting.

Looking forward to meeting you both next season, bar many a slip etc ... or Palace descending. Thanks to the outstanding Michael Olise's double v Brentford we are just steering clear of danger for the time being. Great to see opposing manager, Thomas Frank, beamingly congratulating him on MotD, after he had run rings round Brentford defence. We'd better make the most of him. With huge potential at a mere 22 he's bound to be transfer target.

…and there I was relying on you taking 3 points from QPR.

Tractor Boys a shade flat after gargantuan effort v Foxes perhaps.

I'm not too proud to say 'thank you' to Norwich for restricting Southampton to a single point.

Yes momentum halted thank goodness! Spent a tenner watching Leicester 4 Huddersfield 1, not very inspiring after a similar New Year concert from Vienna. Still, other results did go the way of the Foxes.

Everybody sounds worried about us , which is an unusual situation for Saints.
A bit of disappointment down south, but it was a tough fixture and not the worst result we will have this season. 10 points from the last four is a fair enough reward, and it keeps a bit of momentum going. Leicester look likely to break points records, and a three way fight for second also seems likely.
We are lacking a bit of magic in the final third, and don’t need any more injuries to key players, so hopefully Edozie is Ok after his shoeing by Norwich. he has been exceptional recently, a young man who is going to make a big name for himself.
All that said, we would happily have taken this points total at this stage,and the manager has won the fans over. Big forum derby against the in form Owls next for us.
