Oh heck. Hopefully not serious for KWP. We really need him. Any number of other players, I'd miss a lot less.

AA should have attacked that one.

Oh well done Che! We don't create much. He needs plenty of chances to find one he can put away. But he gets on with it, so credit for creating and finishing that one.

A hospital pass from Baz. Rattled trying to clear it, let alone to start off a move of our own.

Even clearing from the back is grim. We used to be a side that pressed opponents. Now we're undone by the slightest pressure. That's a few Has punts where we've just given it away.

Cut apart. Lovely passing move. We didn't get close to them at any part of it. The difference between a team that anticipates and moves into space, against a tactically limited, disjointed side with no effective creative plz.

Lyanco done a couple of times. We can't fashion any kind of passing move. Newcastle on the other hand have all the pressure on us, and the creativity to get chances too. Sad to see such a gulf already between the two teams.

Jeez. Poor tracking. No challenges. And really tough to come back from that. Here's hoping for a fight back.

Over

They are paying as mituch of it off, across the length of the contracts. Something the authorities have put a stop to from this summer. So Chelsea keen to get this one done before then.

Quest

His pashun for Nate's aggressive style made all the difference in what many will soon call a coup for Saints, while Chelsea fans will wonder what might have been. 🙂

In a window where rivals have nabbed all the players we've been linked to, it's satisfying that we nipped in ahead of Chelsea's bid for Bree, forcing them to their back up option. 🙂

Story

Under

Another widely known about scandal, with a political party once again dragged kicking and screaming every step of the way to make the decision anyone with a shred of decency would have made from the outset. Corrupt and self serving to the last.

I got the feeling in pre season, that the club, supremely confident of getting a new striker in, were prepared to listen to offers for Che. I think he didn't play for the next game at the time, which I was taking as the club letting him know he might not get as many minutes, and maybe a rumour or two at the time. Here we are with the club confident in bringing in a new attacker, and Che linked again with a departure. I think he's still needed, and he'd be a good partner for a better finisher.

Pint

As someone who has picked the first two socks out the drawer in the dark, I was more worried about your last sentence than the stats. 🙂

I thought it was a province in Afghanistan, one of the few places Nathan felt was aggressive enough for his playing style. 🙂

Mind

I saw Jerome a fair bit for Norwich. From his lonely spot up front, he could just about see his midfield support in the distance. Playing for Luton and Göztepe would have been the ideal NJ/SR combo. But he also played for Stoke, so NJ wouldn't have wanted a reminder. 🙂
