I reckon 2 mins of time added.

Gr8 prediction.

I'm listening to the game from Thailand. It's 2:30 here. Went to sleep earlier so I could get up for the game, and I had a dream that at about the 75 min mark (I think) it was 2-2... Hope there are no more goals in this game though!

That's funny, earlier I had an afternoon nap and dreamt I was bumming a Thai ladyboy.

Though, to be fair, this is a regular occurrence.

[NTRoyal]

Hope we are a bit more composed after the break. Still seem a bit nervous, especially in possesion.

[TBM]

We miss Karacan in the middle

[RobRoyal]

Fukking hell Tabb. They played right through him there.

Tabb isn't at the pace of the game is he?

It's a tough game to come in from after an injury layoff I suppose.

I'll be surprised if McDermott makes a change at half-time but I've got a bad feeling that if we start the second half like we'll lose the lead quickly.

Saints should be two goals clear.

[Royal Lady]

We won that half!! 45 minutes to hang on!

[Mr Angry]

Half time; great score but very, very nervy first 45.

We are losing the midfield battle and unless something changes, we will get caught out.

[Libertine]

HT...smoke break time too. Need to steady my nerves.

Great half tho...

[RobRoyal]

Massive nicotine injection required before the restart.

4-5-1 for the second half please.

[6ft Kerplunk]

I'm back from Eastenders btw.

Thought Schards was at the match?

[Mr Angry]

We miss Karacan in the middle

100% agree.

Funny how all those people who have regularly slagged Jem off only realise how important he is to the team when he isn't playing....

Can't disagree. oxf*rd is nerve shredding - worse than Sham and Bighton away. Hope it follows same course with us playing better second half.

How many cigs have you got?

[Archie's penalty]

Not enjoying that but great cross and goal.

Not going to be a good second half. Gunnar on for Tabb please.

[Mr Angry]

I reckon if its still 1-0 after 10/15 mins, Brian will sub Tabby for Bryn to add more defensive steel in the middle.

[FiNeRaIn]

Commentary on sky does seem a bit southampton oriented.
Keep criticizing our players and lauding theirs. Good thing we scored, they were just bleating on about how southampton had more chances than us etc.
.

Na, tbf we have been battered, I don't think they are bias at all. They've given us a fair bit of praise at times.

[Elm Park Old Boy]

Massive nicotine injection required before the restart.

4-5-1 for the second half please.

Might need something stronger...opium?

[PremAddict]

SOTON do look class. Don't mind a repeat of the BHA match but I'm sure my heart/health will take issue with that...

Great support by Reading...just down the road

Pathetic club

What a cock; we sold out our allocation which is more than Wham did when we played them......
