You've got the score wrong.
We won that game 5-1.
Why take a pop at our fans ?
1st season in League 1
Points deduction
Walsall the opposition
We played Huddersfield the following week and won 5-0
Less fans turned up.
Maybe they were saving up for a trip to Wembley the following month ? |

Reply | 5 Things About The QPR Game
at 16:30 25 Feb 2026
1. Charlton sold out, brought far more (3,000) and were louder on Saturday than QPR (1,722) last night. There were quite a few regulars in the home sections not there last night as well.
2. The team seemed to play a little too negatively at 1-0, content to keep the ball and not risk it too much. This took the atmosphere out of the crowd and had we got stuck in a bit more, created a bit more and went for it a bit more in general, it would have livened us all up a bit and kept the crowd with the team. It changed for the better with a goal right before the break - which changed the HT team talk and let us be a bit more attack minded in the 2nd half.
3. Caught the SRL and Dodd HT interviews recently and thought they got a decent enough reception, considering most fans were in the concourse having a beer. David Howells however was not so great, but then he hardly played for us, compared to SRL and Doddsy.
4. We needed the form players to shine against Charlton, but the Subs changed the game in favour of the opposition for that game. Last night was great seeing the subs coming on - I bet the QPR players couldn't believe it - and that was at the point where we had already won the game.
5. It would have been good if the likes of the subs Fellows or Archer had managed a goal or an assist, to boost their confidence for future weeks. It really isn't working for Archer at the moment, but I'm sure he will score before the season is over !! My Villa mate said he preferred to play on the left and cut in and hit it with his right. Maybe he could play in Leo's position from the bench ?

Not so long ago, we almost let a 4-0 lead slip.
Vesty header
2 x JWP free kicks
Ings from 20 yards
Away to Villa
Villa fought back to 4-3 but we held on !!
Grealish definitely scored 1 of theirs |

That was fantastic
Wild scenes for the winner and at full time.
We weren't in the game at all 1st half and Liverpool also had a goal chalked off I think. Maybe for off side or blocking the keeper's view ?
Then it was the Pelle and Mane show and the latter even missed a pen.
Also I remember this game for the MOTD TV coverage, where you could see a kid in the crowd sticking his middle finger up at Sturridge after he scored at the Chapel end and his Dad telling him off and pushing his hand down. My early teens daughter found this hilarious !! |

Larin looks unfit and can't do anywhere near 90
Stewart is fragile and apparently could only do a half
D Downs has been loaned
Arma sold
In the circumstances it was Archer, the youngster who came on at Stoke, or perhaps the new 17 year old signing from Stoke - or recall BBD ?
I'm not really a fan of Archer, but last night it was needs must until the changes could be made - for reasons already stated. I know he doesn't offer much as an outlet, or for bringing others into play, but being 3-0 down at HT wasn't all down to Archer. Awful defending, a back pass gift and 3 shots on target - 3 goals conceded spring to mind !!
Anyway, it was all part of the master plan and the subs once ready to come on. all played their parts in overseeing the operation.
Double done ✅
Shame Vesty wasn't playing 😊
Shame they only got a 6 point deduction
Expect they have enough to avoid the drop - hopefully at the Skates expense |

If he hadn't missed that sitter early doors, it could have been a different game and people may have had a different opinion of him.
In hindsight and for our result, it was a good miss !! :-) |

This is only one of the many shambolic performances we've had against Leicester.
Missed a sitter
Poor keeping
Gift
Poor defending
3 shots on target and 3 goals conceded
I had to check to see if Baz was back in goal !! :-) |

Don't forget that we lost 2 'Strikers' this window - with D Downs going to Hamburg on loan. (Yes not much of a striker, but was still 'an option').
That means that Larin is replacing both Arma and Downs for the next 4 months.
I'm sure the club are making massive savings on wages, so hopefully the newbie hits the ground running and can notch a few times. I think he will need to train quite hard before getting pitch time, as wearing that baggy yellow training top doesn't hide the extra ballast he is carrying that well !! :-) |

It could well have been Sound Affects by The Jam and it is still in my loft !!
I also remember taping / recording The Clash, Joy Division and Blondie around the same time and wanting to play them in my parents' car, but they were having none of it, preferring Supertramp’s - Breakfast in America !! |

They seem to have gotten away with an awful lot.....
Punching the Police horse

Countless spitting at players
Countless coin / object throwing incidents
Flashbang / fireworks

33 - no idea. At the time, I was more of a cassette man, as I could play them in my bedroom, as opposed to the record player in the lounge !! |

Reply | So what do we think about Peretz?
at 13:42 2 Feb 2026
As a team, we have a massive issue with defending corners.
I thought with a new Keeper, things may change, but alas, so far, no. The new Keeper is still part of this issue, with often poor positioning and not being able to command his 6 yard box. When I saw the error against Doncaster in the FA Cup, the free header against Hull that he came for and missed and perhaps the scrambled hand of cod against the Skates, I have at times wondered why we signed him. To be fair though, he is slowly getting used to working in our team and certainly seems to organise the defence a bit more than past keepers and he has pulled off some top saves.
Baz has 3 top saves this season that spring to mind (others may remember more) - Wrexham and Millwall H + A. Peretz has 2 so far, both v Stoke
Let's see what happens between now and the end of the season, but for me so far, he is slightly ahead of Baz, but I expect him to move further ahead as the season progresses. |

First away league clean sheet in absolutely ages - last one was Fulham away in the Prem last season by all accounts !!
We bossed it today and fully deserved the win.
Stoke were awful, but we didn't let them play, so credit goes to us.
There were still the same mistakes, mis-passes and needlessly giving the ball away, but we weren't punished today and when we did give it away, there was extra effort to get the ball back - which has been missing of late.
The only worrying thing was that I don't think we had a single shot, once Leo and Stewart went off. The youngster up front look a little lost when he came on, but understandable I guess. He will need to improve if Arch and Arma are sold and we don't get a replacement in.
A decent turn out of around 2.4k which is great for a game that distance and an early kick off and it was great to hear the constant singing - unlike the Stoke fans. (See what a decent performance can do to the fans !!)
We are Southampton, We sing on our own !! |

He's been injured for ages, so I can only presume he is not being rushed back. Unlike Aribo and a few others, He still has 18 months left on his contract I believe.
It looks distinctly like we are spending months and months and thousands and thousands on getting him back up to match fitness in time to show him the door / sell him on / loan him out, like we have done with so many others over the years. |

Read social media - There is plenty about the flash bang, your lot throwing it and the resulting affects.
Seems you've got previous in this area, having thrown a firework into the Sunderland fans at the Stadium of Light. Hopefully the FA will take that into account when deciding the punishment.
As for the toilets, Westwood surpasses everything. At an England match at St Marys, he was arrested for exposing himself in public and for peeing over seats. WAC. |

I think there is potentially an issue or a weakness there, which would explain (much to many fans' disgust) why he often gets subbed around the 60-70 minute mark.
Best to have him for an hour, than to not have him at all.
A few others need to start stepping up though !! |
