I mean you only have to look at the fact that every top football club has a full time analysis department, plus our manager constantly talks about analysing previous games, to see that you very much can analyse football.
Agree and also think Bednarek was (once again) really good alongside him.
Thought Smallbone was quietly good today too. Received the ball a lot in the ‘Downes’ position and rarely gave it away.
I think we need to start a solid first XI, with attacking options off the bench later on. I’d put AA back out wide and start Mara.
Hopefully it’s: Bazunu, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Manning, Downes, Smallbone, S. Armstrong, Edozie, Mara, A. Armstrong.
Possibly with Fraser starting over Edozie.
Be interesting to see how Swansea set up for this one. They tried to go toe-to-toe with us on Boxing Day and got smashed. Hopefully the fact they’re at home will mean they go for it again and don’t do a Norwich.
Ideally we want to be top 2 by the end of these 10 games because then we have to go to Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds in the remaining 10. Don’t really want to be going into those games needing 3 points to keep up with the teams above us.
Fuck Sunak. He doesn’t give a shit about Saints, just trying his hardest to look like a normal bloke before an election year.
Well done Martin for not buying it.
