Nice from Dibling there. We've not managed to get it over the half way line from it. But still.

Will gets it clear!

Dibling had a better option to get a ball in. Still, positive things.

Wasn;t the worst free kick. We just forgot to have anyone run in on the header into the centre.

Hi! Welcome to another episode of "Posts That Haunted Me." 🙂

Les sluggish looking again. Gave too much space allowing that shot in.

Les is on a 7 year Chelsea contract!? Available for loan for a lot of those seasons.

Shame Will wasn;t there to get Manning out of trouble. Manning needs help there against Salah.

Not the best defensive block there. But we get it clear. Will, who's doing well today, releases Sule. Hopefully, that's the plan and we'll see much more of it.

Corner again!!! I thought we'd lost that chance by passing back. But decent one touch passing and Will again getting the ball to where it should be.

Manning done there. Will does well, seeing the danger and doubling up.

Bedders clearly disappointed. But it's the right decision. Shame to lose him. Fortunately, we've a well oiled player who's been central to the squad over years to come on in Rusty.

Cap'n Jack warming up. But hope Bedders is okay. Nasty collision.

"Manning saying he's all right. He's just got amateur team mates offering him advice." Okay 'tator. We know we're bottom, but no need to call us amateur. 🙂

Ramsdale needed that touch there with oncoming forward. Fortunately, this is nothing for the other jaded possession veterans who one touch pass it clear easily. Well done Will. 🙂

"Brilliant skills by Diaz" as he stumbles over himself to get dispossessed by Will. Sure thing 'tator.

Sule looking to attack centrally, or at least be furthermost forward to use pace, was something I was hoping for when it was Selles in charge. Since we've not gone anywhere but backwards since in the PL, I don;t mind it as a last resort tactic again.

Bedders back to intercept.

No, I think the 9 of them would comfortably beat us too. 🙂

Giving Sule every chance of catching them on the break in the first half, while giving Will a bit more support in midfield. Still 30mins to get your Saints branded Rose Tinted Spex drone delivered to your door. 🙂

Possible arm injury from repeatedly folding them in the huff?

I'd not rule Ramsdale out of being the third centre back. 🙂

Tough pack around VA. While Le Mans are closest to racing into the top 2, you can't discount Dijon, who are keen as mustard or Orleans who are maid of stern stuff.

Yes. We were regularly bullied by other sides.
