A point was fair on the day. Not an awful lot from either side really. We did need a special strike from JWP though, with us not creating much in the second half. Long's misfire at the end was about as good a chance as it got after the break. Diallo got in some good challenges in his own box, even if there was a little worry for one of them from me. I would have liked to have seen us really press them, but there wasn;t much of that. Although not at his best today, Romeu's positional sense was missed when he went off. See midweek comments hinting at contract negotiations being a little far apart.

time for a break with Leeds on the front foot.

It did look intentional, if only more of a block than an attempt to slap/thump

Yeah, we don;t want to overcommit. They will come on to us, and give us opportunities.

had Broja been a couple of feet further back...

Yeeees!

Should we get promotion, and wish to push on for a further one, then having a full time team is going to have to be dealt with. We'll only go so far, if we don't. It's a very enjoyable sport with growing interest and record attendences. I'm all for the club fully embracing it. Club debts are sustainable, and we remove more surplus wages each year. I'll be looking forward to everyone accepting no transfer business/ club improvements in the other parts of the club, because we have some manageable debts. That's not going to happen. So it shouldn't be used as an excuse not to invest in the women's team. As a premier league club, we're in the best possible position to do make those investments in the next couple of seasons.

He'd be a big miss. But we don't know what's being offered/ wanted in the negotiations. I'm sure both the club and player realise how important he's been to us. We've been happy to bring back Walcott on presumably large wages and extend contract for Long. Romeu has been far more influential.

It's going to be really tense just supporting it. Hopefully the players will be calmer! 🙂

Who needs data analytics and black boxes, when you have The Transfer Tombola? 😊

It will be odd not finding out we've been promoted, until most of the way through the fixture of next season. 😊

It's not all football skills, of course. His rise to superstardom, through a stint with us, can be helped by having a personable image. I'm looking forward to hearing him in interviews. A tete-a-tete with a local journalist?

That's a lot of excitement. Perhaps stretching it out into, say, four quarters so it's not too much. It's for the viewing public's welfare, of course. 😊

Table looking good, with another 3 points on the board.

A few late chance, but for no more than consolation at this stage (hopefully there wasn't an earlier delay and 20mins of additional time)

And a third!

Thanks. So much better than our club's info.

Yes! Good stuff!

A cunning counter attacking ploy! (hopefully)

Game not started on Saints website.

COYR!
