Bragg?

OK, he looks fit and no extra weight (Manning?) but just not a footballer, or at least goalkeeper. Perhaps he could solve our target man issue?

I think he's not very good, but it might at least increase his confidence! It will also be interesting to see if having a new keeper behind them means our defence will actually be brave enough to leave the goal line and actually mark the opposition as well!

I took my nephew and great nieces to the Saints womens game last week which they won 4-0. I lost my mum a year ago and I took her to one game at St. Marys which was a cold day against Hull for a 3-1 win. Either would do tomorrow and I'll be having a little prayer for the win.

Armstrong also works his socks off closing down and chasing lost causes. A shot scuffer, to be sure, and not a game changer but a very useful player to have in our current situation.

Yep, it's most odd. I played in goal for a bit: "We've lost our keeper. You can go in goal as you're the tallest/bravest/nuttiest/slowest* in the team". *More than one may have applied. But my team at my low level had reasonable confidence in me, more than Saints' defence had in Bazunu anyway. Plus nobody else at the time wanted the bloomin job..

Gave us Captain Smith.

Season loan confirmed on OS.

I was going to say that Saints looked fitter, stronger and more physical than Portsmouth and was going to ascribe it to them being professional, but checking just this instant I see that Portsmouth went pro at the beginning of the 24/5 season. Either way, it does give an example to the men that being fitter and stronger does have an impact on games.. Good to see a crowd only a hundred or so below that at Doncaster, and definitely worth playing that game at St. Mary's.

Well, it will be our last opportunity..

Headline in the paper: "Tottenham’s Mathys Tel open to loan for more game time as World Cup looms". We could certainly offer him that!

I sometimes disagree with your opinions, and sometimes with how you express yourself, but I definitely can't improve on that.

Good crowd on a freezing night. 7500+ and a good atmosphere. My great nieces enjoyed it too, which is what it's all about out.

Yes, 9 and 12 year old nieces might get a bit lairy after their milkshakes..

Ridiculous! Sideways, surely?
