I thought he was great on Saturday and when he was taken off by Eckert I thought it was the coach's classic and slightly idiotic knee-jerk 60 minute sub where he thinks that taking off our most threatening player was somehow a brilliant masterstroke like he does with Scienza, no doubt thinking he needed to preserve his energy or something. Anyway, great to see him being something that we can draw on to unlock defences when we need a bit of directness and penalty-inducing dribbliness. Like having a new player, as the cliche goes.

I was at the game too and was amazed he wasn't subbed earlier. I've seen far better players in the national and non-league. Amazingly bad. However, lots of good points in the other players I thought. Keeper much better than I had expected. Solid, and decent distribution. Larin's hold up play not bad at all, fitness coming along a little. Cam Bragg - excellent performance. Quarshie and Wood did well. Manning won most of his duels, and decent delivery. Impressed with Matsuki and his work rate Dibaga not bad when he came on - could be more direct Oyekunle excellent strength and persistence. Should start ahead of Cameron Archer every time Some very nice touches from Barnaby Williams Good to get minutes into Oriel - he is still classy Overall, much to be happy about, especially the result. THought we were heading for penalties. PS You can see how Winks is a cultured player, but also how he never does anything remotely risky

Professional footballer unable to do their job shock

Keep a settled team. Benefits beyond the 'resting'; builds momentum. No doubt he will completely change it. PS a few more managers suddenly available. Hmmm. Tempting.

Wow. Well done Saints. Perhaps his half time team talks are getting better! 😉 Hope this is a turning point. Looked liked there was a togetherness there that has been missing for a long time.

We should insist that Aribo is allowed to play. Think we can win this now we have a non-shit keeper. Who knew? All those months saying Bazanu was useless and we kept losing. Then we get rid and start winning. It's almost as if this fan base knows something. Also, getting rid of the bulk of the clique appears to be working, now there are no bad eggs stinking the place out (although perhaps there's still a faint whiff of a wantaway striker). Would take a draw but think if things click we can pile on the pressure and win 0-3

By Adam. Shame you tarnished it all by your lousy attitude. Still, hope he does alright in his Wolves in the Championship stint before not really doing it in the Prem again.

Yes. What has happened to Romeu? Is he still here? What a great shame

Worth noting that journalists who first cited the possibility of Adam Armstrong leaving were greeted with posters 'calling bullshit' on it before it, again, being true. Nixon, I think it was, who posted first. Proof that those who have journalism as their full time job are sometimes better than blokes with a keyboard in their bedrooms or who post with seeming authority of an inside track. Armstrong clearly didn't want to be here and his attitude wasn't great so I think selling was the only option, especially given his contract status. Would have been nice to have replaced him with more quality, but let's see before we pass judgment on that donkey we have brought in. 😉

At least they seem to have noticed the bad clique and made moves to get rid of the childish twits. Hopefully this will help morale. At least we seem to have finally accepted 442, and at the very least the Canadian's height will offer a target. I'm clutching at straws, but it's something, I guess. Good to have a keeper who isn't shit, totally agree.

We are an absolute embarrassment of a club, Ankersen doing his Poundshop Ted Talk Moneyball bollocks and getting on the phone to call tactics. National League clubs are run better. What a brilliant metaphor for where we are, this Canadian 'prospect'. Doesn't even fit the age model. So confused it's laughable. 'Get someone in who owns legs!' being the desperate call of Spors to his phone bunnies. 'But who we can call an international. Even if he's shit. Just get a body in!' 'Yes boss'.

With Lallana's history in moisturisers I bet he's made up that we are signing C.Larins. Thank me later.

Wow. Is this a wind up?

Hence why we're looking at a 16year old/foetus Tyro league CB to replace him

Which is a bit of a turnaround from you 'calling BS' on any possibility of Armstrong leaving because you didn't believe some 'lazy journalism' and seeing only one report, or something. Plus ca change. Where's Fareham Saint when you need them? Oh
