Might be as simple as Manning being a Martin favourite, and then a language barrier subsequently.

Larin is a little shorter than Tall Paul; but crucially much more solid. He isn't going to get pushed around; and having watch Paul's Bambi on ice impression at Gillingham I'm happy to have the Canadian.

There is a difference between bringing on Wood in the 88th minute, and the shite we watched the first half of the season

Larin made a great start to Saints life - big strong, holding play up, out balls at the end. Plus a goal on debut with his first touch. I will overlook that he is clearly blowing out of his arse at the end after only 20 mins on the pitch 😁

Saints players have clearly been told that their Georgian right back only has a right foot for standing on! Three times now they have left him loads of space knowing he can't take it!

Needed Downes then

We've two other players on that graph that are doing well. Scienza will be one. Is the other Fellows or Armstrong? >>> Scratch that - we have 3 players in that line. So we're creating chances, just not putting them away. Fellows is apparently the one out on the right hand side delivering plenty of lower % chances. All we need now is for our Arctic wonders Nessie & Seal to start putting those chances away.

The best bit is at the end

Well done Wee Man. Glad it's working out for you. Never gave less than his best for us in a Saints shirt.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wasn't he injured for a bit after showing well in a game? Or injured while he was out with a ban?

Bree marshalled his man well too. Makes such a difference

Yay - We did a win!

Fellows passes plenty because both he and we know he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Azaz, Arma, Stewart and Scienza all have a good shot on them. I'm ok with them having a go, and avoid having to watch a goal scoring position end up back with the keeper for the hundred millionth time...

In fairness I wasn't even expecting him to be on the bench today after limping off with a groin injury at that hole down the road

Welington lashed that into his bollocks!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Azaz is in the mood. I feel like we only play really well when he is playing well.

We did feel this way in the summer and then Fellows, Azaz and Scienza all appeared with little chat beforehand. Not saying it will happen this time of course.

says the expert on maturity 🤔

😭 Wah wah! Passing back, MartinBall > Get it in the mixer! 😭 Wah Wah! Hoofball. Make your mind up

He might not be playing amazingly, but you cannot accuse him of not putting in the effort.

Technically Nathan Jones is half as good as a decent Championship manager... 🤔

I think they have cunningly spotted a window of opportunity! No one is currently playing Footnall - We should be able to invent some rules and then wipe the floor with all comers due to our superior experience at the game!
