Saint Matty 76

Completely agree, he's a player with potential quality above this league but I just think I'd have given Edozie a shot tonight Weirdly underused in recent times, not for the first spell this season

Hmm, surprised Brooks gets the nod again but very happy to see that back four, and what I believe is the strongest midfield

There was a year in the Prem (multiple, probably) where we’d constantly throw away leads so I’d throw a tenner on whenever we were 1 goal up with about 15 to go. Happy to hold on or a few extra quid for the evening Haven’t bothered this year other than my £10 on Alcaraz Championship top goalscorer at 100/1 though which I thought was genius at the time

Yeah if that wasn’t Mara I’d be fuming at that

There's probably a player in there, but it's not worked out here. Time to cut our losses in the Summer and hope we can get some money off the fact he's still a France U21 international He's looked okay off the bench a few times but never grabbed an opportunity from the start. The last couple of sub appearances have been shambolic and the biggest indictment is that I saw he was suspended for 3 games and legitimately believed it to be a good thing Hope he succeeds back in France, but this season should be it for him in Southampton. Had ample opportunity to break into the team and he still legitimately looks lightyears behind Che Adams in terms of his all-round play

Bazunu KWP - Bednarek - THB - Manning Stu - Downes - Rothwell Arma - Che - Edozie Unlucky for Bree to miss out as I don’t think he’s done much wrong, but a bit of rotation surely required at this point. Aribo and Smallbone looked dead on their feet on Saturday so may be a chance for Rothwell, even though he’s never impressed me from the start. Could be any of Edozie, Sulemana or Fraser, but I’d lean Edozie as he’s completely fresh, had more output then Sulemana and didn’t give the lino the opportunity to flag offside like Ryan did on Sat

Another year of Kingfisher for fuck sake

Today’s result probably did it for them, and hopefully they feel that Big game, didn’t think we’d be having any more of those before the play-offs

Absolutely insane, can only assume he expected Arma to run on a bit before crossing it but that is quite something Just glad it doesn’t matter

Buzzing we won but fucking hell, was Fraser off? Needs a weeks wages docked if so

Felt it at the time too, hardly be a surprise

Don’t win today after those two results and these lot don’t deserve anything

Would’ve taken Stephens and Brooks out but oh well, fingers crossed

Leicester will win 3-1, nothing to see here

Yeah, pretty much word for word agree with you here. It's funny how back in the Summer there were a large amount of people on here who seemed to think we'd do well to make the play-offs with the mess we were in. Fast forward to doing that with ease, whilst also looking like we'll put up a number which would've achieved automatic promotion in almost any other season, yet he should be sacked? It's actually a 50/50 on the thread below of people thinking we'll either be mid-table or promoted. Martin has plenty of flaws, and I'm of the belief that the season will be a failure if we don't go up in the play-offs. However, I think there's been enough to warrant him getting another go at it next year, in a hopefully less historically strong league. We'll still have a strong group of players, which combined with a solid utilisation of the 5 PL loans (we'll still be one of the most desirable moves), I'd fancy us to start the season as one of the favourites. If we do go up this year, you'd be a fool not to worry based on how our style would match up to the PL, but let's cross that bridge when we hopefully get to it.
