Not sure about full match but EFL YouTube has just put 13 mins up

Scienza's reaction in this clip

With commentary from Radio Solent

Minor detail and no guarantee of anything but I liked that even in the first 15 mins he was shouting and clapping, telling people where to go and what to do even though he's probably trained with them once, twice max

FT: Saints 5-1 Millwall

Can you believe he played 97 times for Saints? Ninety. Seven. Seemed like a nice bloke and a solid pro so hopefully he figures it out. Can't have been easy being thrown in at the deep end with the shitshow that was going on at Saints on and off the pitch However he was, unfortunately, largely dreadful and should never have been parachuted in as Saints #1 and once it became so obvious that he was out of his depth, he should've been removed far sooner

Derby County not happy with BBD

What a terrible bloke for donating £15,000 to the local kids team he started off with. Cunt indeed

Bologna signing a CB

Swelling, tightness and/or cramps usually

Yeah, exactly. Adam was saying last night that JWP would be announced today so they probably agreed to park the JWP questions until the embargoed part of the press conference so they all have quotes on it later when it's announced. They might also be getting some access to JWP if he's at Staplewood today so there's that too

Eckert press conference summary pre-Millwall: - there's not really anything new with THB - there is interest and there are conversations - no further updates since Tuesday though - I am speaking with him every day and at the moment he's our player - Schlotterbeck brings over 150 games in the Bundesliga and he's captained his club - I think it's one of the best leagues in Europe - It was important for me to have a left footed centre back - He's good in the air too and I think he can help us straightaway - Every team is in evolution and every summer you need some fresh blood and new faces - Very happy that we managed to get Keven - Last days of the window are always very busy but I think we're in a good way - We were hoping to have Caspar returning a bit quicker - That was the initial plan but it has taken a bit longer - That's because his muscle didn't react too well to the initial training sessions a week ago - The last days have been positive again so I'm hoping we'll have him very soon - He will definitely be playing before the international break - Roerslev is looking good physically, I think the competition for him with James Bree is not the easiest but he looks good - Every player needs some competition but I think James Bree has been consistent - He knows what I think of him and how much I rate him as a player and a character - I think preseasons can be a little bit more complex in terms of where the team is at when you start playing competitive games - Yes they do relate to preseason and yes they do relate to physical levels but I think the dynamic especially towards the end of that window was more complex than just the physical state of the players - We've had a deep dive like we always do after the game to know where we stand in comparison to other teams around the league - We know how that looks for Premier League teams, Championship teams and teams in L1 and L2 - It's true that there's a way to go and there's levels to go for us as a team - But the dynamics behind where we are at the moment I think they are more complex than just the amount of weeks that you spend in pre-season - To give you an example, I think Finn Azaz is at one of the best physical levels and he probably had the most interrupted preseason - It's something we always look at and we consider after every game but we need to step up now, also physically - but the dynamics have been complex - I think every season is a new start and a new dynamic, always - There are certain behaviours, a way of protecting each other on the pitch, a way of accepting that there are going to be mistakes on the pitch and moments that don't go our way - Then it's about our reaction to those moments in games - I think that is something we need to work on, we will get better at it - First of all we've got a very good opposition on Saturday - They had a very good season and they were fighting for direct promotion last season - They were almost there last season and now they started with two wins - They have a very, very clear identity and it's clear for us to know what's coming - The basis of their game is on their defensive structure and then they give themselves some quick solutions for going forward, lots of crosses that we will have to defend - We know exactly what is coming up so it's for us to take that as it is and show where we are - If you look at the players Millwall have bought in the summer, they fit very clearly with what Alex Neil wants to do - They brought in a new player and he scored straightaway, they have changed a little bit how they play up front but the defence has been consistent - I think this game comes at the right time for us to show what we are about

Eckert on Schlotterbeck: "It was important to me to have someone left-footed and good in the air. I think he's going to be able to help us straightaway"

Sassuolo interested in Sugawara

Some comments from Augsburg fans (and one Werder Bremen fan) on the Bundesliga Reddit post of this transfer - Goodbye, dear Schlotti, and thanks for everything!!! - The transfer fee is a bit low for a vice-captain so late in the window—especially since we’ll definitely need to find a replacement. Jeff won’t play 34 matches, and it’s uncertain whether Brackelmann will make an immediate impact. You have to squeeze English clubs for every penny. Still, all the best to him personally. - Bremen fan: That really is very little. I actually thought he was worth more than €4.5 million in sporting terms. What is the club's financial situation like? - I honestly don't understand our transfer policy at times. It has happened repeatedly now that key players go through the entire pre-season, only to be sold right before the season starts. Do we really have to overhaul nearly half the squad every season? It would be great to have a stable, well-gelled core for two or three years. If the guys have to find their rhythm and chemistry from scratch every single year, it becomes difficult to finish in the top third of the table or qualify for Europe. I wish Schlotterbeck all the best. He always gave his all; replacing the vice-captain on such short notice won't be easy.

Still, at least he's keeping an open mind on Lewis Dobbin after two games of the league season where he has played a grand total of 69 minutes
