I see us turning formations on their head and playing a 5-4-1 today. 5 players on the left, 4 in the middle and 1 on the right. Why be inverted when you can be rotated inverted?

It's not even so much that we're leaving wide spaces free either. Can remember a few times in recent games where we've followed the ball across and left space through the middle too. It's not even like we need our full backs so far forward either. In Brooks, Fraser and Edozie we've got wide players that are going to trouble any defence in this division.

He made one incredible tackle tracking back. I also remember a big ol' swing and miss at the start of the game. It doesn't matter though. THB and Bednarek have to be first choice partnership. Failing that THB + 1 other.

It's all set up for a classic day of Saints table watching. The day starts with hope as Leicester get turned over by Norwich. In the build up we see the opportunity then start brightly taking an early lead. Trousers posts the table. Then one of our full backs goes missing and Ipswich sneak it. Followed by Leeds rubbing salt in the wounds later. Textbook.

He's a professional footballer. He should have a point to prove every game.

Having rewatched the highlights from yesterday I don't want to watch Adams flailing around with a banjo any more and I'd like one of our wingers playing instead of Sulemana.

I don't get why he persists with Sulemana. There are 3 wingers that are more effective at the club (possibly 4 depending on where you stand on Sam A-A). It's like he's 2/3 or a really excellent footballer. Right up to the point where he has to do something with the ball.

We can still do this. COYR

Pish

Jesus fucking Christ, Baz

Mara's gone a bit Carlos Valderrama and I'm here for it.

Well done, Jack

Boro are racking up the yellows here

Adams shows his full range in the last few minutes. Doesn't get back on side. Takes too long then slashes wide from an open goal.

Warning signs are there

This ref has been a bit baffling

He has the beating of his man just not the next bit.

I think it was more symptomatic of the mess we were in. Nothing says staying up like breaking your transfer record for a player you don't wind up playing.

It all feels a bit complacent. We've reverted to walking football

Ooh. Wake up call

Armstrong!

We've missed KWP so much

Brooks on the bench because he wasn't well, ok. Not sure about Sulemana preferred to Fraser and Edozie though.

Over the last few seasons we've been terrible so if you were to look at any point of the season then it's likely we were going to be pretty terrible.

It's entirely possible for the Government to be corrupt liars and Matt le Tissier to be guilty of repeating comprehensively debunked conspiracy theories to both be true.
