That’s a centre forward’s goal to be fair. We lacked that presence in Armstrong.

Get the fuck in!

Hoping to see it. He’ll realise over the next couple of weeks.

Frenetic dogshit is back for now.

My money is on that 28 goal season with Blackburn.

Well done Benarek after Smallbone outmuscled.

Hit and hope now. The fact we still don’t have a centre forward is killing all the good work.

So what?

Tella willing from the wing but no focal point in the middle, no better option.

And Edozie again. Flair and lack of end product is a frustrating combo!

The standard and consistency of refereeing is going to take some adjustment. Missing around 50% of decisions so far!

Able to do the nice stuff. Still lacking the spine, still lacking the leaders.

Self harm yet a-fucking-gain!

Been engrossed in that half, lots of positives. KWP looks best player on park IMO combining very well with Tella. JWP a bit off pace as is Charly but very comfortable. Edozie as last season a turn of pace and great trick but it’s that final ball. Martin knows that. So obvious that we need that mobile focal point in attack. Put a Piroe in there and I think we’d be going in three up. Interesting second half awaits, lovely to be enjoying football again!

Main difference with Martin being it appears to emerge now and again, when it needs to due to perceived on-field injustice. With Jones aggression seemed to be the mainstay and USP of his ‘personality’, amplified by being a 5ft 7ins 9 stone Welsh gobshite.

She’s as thick as mince, admittedly, most BBC presenters are, but no need to call her that!

Nigh on impossible to predict Saints at this stage with all the furniture arranging. Ask us when the window bangs shut!

Still angry despite the invention of superglue gel!

I doubt it S86. I get the impression that despite the cool as a cucumber exterior Martin is a bit fiery, lots of blow ups with individuals last year at various matches. Really like that in his make-up, a bit of passion and fire when it's justified. With Lumley on the same side all will be forgiven I'm sure, mainly because he shouldn't be near the first 11

Because of his CV, the usual method of assessment when hiring staff. Same role at Brentford, Arsenal and Malmo since 2019 seems quite an impressive hire for a Championship side.

God yes, I remember that bell-end. The syrup at the time looked like he had a toy poodle glued to his nut, these days with modern technology the weave is much more subtle:

Looks a very good hire.

I am optimistic that we will be challenging, but not prioritising this position looks like a self inflicted injury. In games when things are tight and we ship easy goals pressure will ramp up from both team-mates and the stands. If the new Saints staff are convinced that Bazunu is their number one then so be it, but the insurance of experienced, solid competition would seem a relatively easy hire and settle a lot of nerves.

Way worse than that.

An interesting one. Good youth pedigree with Arsenal, strong and talented defensive / central midfielder, and key for Rangers under Gerrard. However, doesn't seem to have got over the Prague incident. Would beef up the midfield ahead of Lavia's exit.
