Yep it was and other than Bristol away when Charles was taken off at 0/0 and he played vs West Brom clean sheet then was dropped so no number 6 infront of them.
I’ve really liked Martin and was happy to support him but shoehorning Stephens into the team has ruined our season. Madness and to leave our best player out yesterday for him and then the problems come down the right and then saying that wasn’t reason we lost has done me. Shea Charles is our only other number 6 so to see him left out vs hull and Millwall was awful too.
I’ve watched Stephens play for years for saints. Managers love his attitude at the start. He looks good on ball etc but we always concede goals when he plays. By the end managers don’t rate him. Expect this to happen again.
