Would make a lot of sense. Nearly top half last year, but for a terrible start. Played and lived there before, may have family down there, has his best mate in football playing there... it adds up

Saints v Millwall: McCarthy; Harwood-Bellis, Stephens, Bednarek; Sugawara, Smallbone, Downes, Taylor; Aribo, Armstrong, Edozie

Yeah, there is still no chance of him coming to us.

Well, there's something I never thought I'd see

We were linked to him before as well, if I remember rightly. Maybe he is/was on our list somewhere

Fuck cancer. That’s no age

I would expect to see Martin using the 3-4-3 here with an attempt at trying to be more defensively sound with Armstrong and BBD as a duo up front. I'm with Lighthouse, I was thinking yesterday that I wouldn't be surprised to see us shit ourselves a bit if Newcastle get an early goal and the St James' crowd gets lively

FT: Oxford 2-0 Saints

Sam Edozie beats his man and dribbles down a blind alley... again

A load of changes from Russell Martin just now Saints: McCarthy; Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens; Smallbone, Downes, Aribo; Dibling, Armstrong, Edozie

This is my problem with him. He's what, 60 games or so into his career with us now and I'm still not seeing an improvement in end product. He's still quite young though, I suppose - although he is three years ahead of Sam Amo and you wouldn't think that

HT: Oxford 2-0 Saints

2-0 now, McCarthy couldn't get down to it

We really do need another GK, christ

RM did say that from tonight onwards it’ll become clear who he’s considering as starters/fringe players and also said it would be two different XIs to give everyone one last go and then it will settle down So presumably second half will be more of the starters and that’ll then continue into Millwall, Lazio and Getafe

Saints v Oxford: McCarthy; Edwards, Wood, Taylor; Bree, Charles, Alcaraz, Manning; Amo-Ameyaw, Mara, Sulemana

Brentford have lost their new £32m striker Igor Thiago to a knee injury, not expected to play until 2025 following surgery

Huw Edwards has this morning chosen to plead guilty to three counts of making and sharing indecent images of children The charges relate to 41 images that were shared on a WhatsApp chat between 2020 and 2022. Edwards was charged with having six Category A images, the most serious classification of indecent images, on a phone. He was also accused of having 12 Category B pictures and 19 Category C photographs One Category A photo involved a child who was aged between 7-9 years old, while all other photos involved a child between 12-14 years old

Can you add a couple more colours, please?

Yeah, that current team is definitely weaker than the ones before it, on paper at least, even if I think it has more cohesion and team spirit right now. However, I think there's a chance we sign three (or four) starting players (GK, CM, RW/LW, ST) before the window shuts, which will make a difference, and our depth may well end up being better than our last run at this level

We don't have a proper left winger at the club, so I'd say yes (I don't count Edozie because he can't cross the ball without falling over yet)
