big style We are much the better side. Got to take advantage.

he dived.

Were you missing Baz when Peretz tipped that strike over the bar?

he seems to spot every foul we make and has missed a couple of theirs. it will even up.

a tiny touch that doesn't upend him and then a dive. No complaints from me. Nice trick by Azaz to beat him though.

possibly the first time all season we have got the 11 and formation every single fan wants. Win this, keep the same side next week and who knows...yeah I know. I'm enjoying this moment as the next might not be great.

great football and a lovely pass from Azaz. When we are on it we are pretty good.

kinell, losing the ball cheaply in midfield... great save

one link up pass.

I guess that's why you look for 'footballing' centre backs. Hope he can do his job at the other end. Moving to four at the back seems to be more to his liking.

Lovely. Fellows knows how to square the ball. Have a word with Leo mate.

Leo has Talovierov on toast. Two good defensive headers won by Leo there or we might be in trouble. Nice work.

square both and we might be 2-0. Stewart doing his nut

it was, but it was about 5 against 2...we got away with it. At the the end Leo does him for pace but should square it. They got away with it.

He probably didn't even turn up for training. Used the old 'ill' line as he waited for the transfer to happen. Oyekunle has something abut him.

ha. I fancy us to win. When Stewart plays we usually look alright. Maybe we can get 70 minutes from him this week.

maybe, but Charles is not really a 10.

noticeable that THB starts. His move is dead in the water perhaps, or maybe he wants to play today?

putting to one side Armstrong and Archer, it's our strongest side in the right formation. No reason we cant win today.

perhaps he's one for three years time too.

was thinking the same. All we had to do was offload Archer, get a proper number nine and the balance of the squad is much better for that formation.

We obviously are willing to sell at the right price and the rejected offers for both must have been genuine. I guess the club anticipate improved offers coming in and are ensuring the players don't get injured...or it might be that the players don't want to play to ruin their moves. If both might depart, we must have someone coming in, probably on loan.

Agree about Lascelles. Offload THB and Wood, get Lascelles and Lawlor in. They've signed the odd player to do the job now such as Orsic, Brooks, Rothwell, Fraser, Taylor, Ugochuckwu, Lallana, Cornet and Romeu. Hmmm.

It's bizarre. I assume Mike McGrath is getting his info from Edozie's agent Derek Thompson, but it doesn't add up. My guess is Millwall and Derby haven't offered enough money and we had a better offer from abroad, probably Turkey, but Edozie didn't fancy it - which then amounts to "saints turn down championship sides as they want him to go abroad" story. If that's it, then who the fuck knows.
