Goal kickign has been woefull for a couple of years now, its bound to catch us out at some point. Cant blame Wello, the club believe he is the best option with longy and eastmond out. The whole night wasnt wello's night though, the passes didnt come off, the kicks didnt come off, oh how we wish he would have been taken off One of those nights "again" on we move, lets see if we can still be first place come the leeds game up at headingley. And pray for no more injuries, this business end of the season is turning into bad business.

I'm not into either needlessly criticising a coach or blindly following him, so I'll criticise when I think it's due and praise when I think it's due. I have two criticisms of Potter last night: he chose/allowed Wellens to kick in the first place, based upon one week of practising (as he said on the red button show). We had a very strong wind out last night and it was a pressurised game. One week is not preparation enough. Secondly, if what I'm told is right and Lomax can kick, instead of taking Cunningham off (who should never have played) and putting Lomax on so he could take the pressure off Wellens after he had missed a few, Potter instead said he thought Wellens would 'eventually get one over'. Oh, and a third criticism is that he didn't protect Wellens to the Sky boys but instead gave the impression of protecting his own back, not the first time he's come across like that either.

A loss is a loss, we'll pick ourselves up and move on.

Not the end of the world.

Saints are still the best team in the comp IMO. Every other team including Leeds would love to be where saints are.

Isn't he always calm?
He shows even less emotion than DA did when he first came!

We have been completely and utterly spoiled with the success we have had and now its the time were we need supporters to really get behind the team when they most need it.

A majority of people who support St Helens are glory supporters. The minute your team goes down drastically then so will your attendance..

Don't bite Gazz, he rarely goes to Leeds games himself

I’m a fully fledged southstand member. Other than that I’ve probably been to Knowsley Road more times than a majority of your fans put together who only seem to turn up at Wembley and Old Trafford.
