...and need to actually play in games to improve.

Listening to the Cam Bragg interview on Solent after the game he was fulsome in his praise for JWP as a player, as a mentor and just as a person. I don't think a young midfield player could have a better example to learn from. Hands up, I was sceptical about having him back here. I was wrong..

The ref and Lino said he was. Guess whose opinion counts....

if nothing else the one thing I really like about him is that he's made the football (mostly) enjoyable to watch again...after the last managers that in itself is something to be thankful for.

Popped out from under the bridge I see.

I do wish we could cut and paste his distribution acumen onto Peretz...perhaps the one area he is a tad lacking in.

They get it out of their system in the pre-match warmup taking the opportunity to score worldies against the fourth choice goalkeeper. This then negates the need to do it during the match proper.

He knew enough about it to get his arm out of the way. I think there's a player there, just needs game time I think to get more integrated into our style.

Everybody hates us, from the has been bags of wind who spout nonsense for money (pond tits I believe they're called) to the co-commentator on sky to the manager of Cambridge (who ?) This can be, and should be our super strength this season, management, players and fans. We take on all and fear noone.

Just watching it on sky after getting in from the match... who's the tired old has been bag of wind co commentating? Not exactly impartial.

Bottom line I suppose is, with all the rumblings about appeals etc., is it finally done and dusted or just round one over with?

That's certainly one way of looking at it, however to my mind there seems to be no way of squaring the EFL Middlesborough connection circle... how could Eckert have got a totally impartial hearing at the EFL with that in place?

Tomato, not that brown muck.

Hopefully this hasn't soured relationships between RM, FA, and DP.

C'mon, we all know it will be the up and coming manager of a Maltese league two side......

Not going to happen I guess but I just think it would be a good scenario, Ramsdale and Peretz competing for number one and keeping each other honest.

Oh for the days when you didn't need a degree in economics or statistics to understand football.

I thought they were going to be cheese and onion, turns out it was just boring old ham and pickle.

Hopefully that will get very old very quickly...COYS!

Agreed. I know the Prem is the ultimate goal (never mind all those we're seeing at St. Marys lately) but more and more I know which football I'd rather be watching...clue, it's not Saints v Arsenal and VAR.

He's everywhere...even in Bake Off!

They say it's a game of two halves, atm we seem to be a team of two halves. going forward, transition, superb. Fannying around at the back, despite what FA and TE say about it, is still painful to watch sometimes. Of course we have to trust them, they hopefully know what they are doing, but it sure makes for some oh shit moments.

I am so tired of having to watch Saints like I watch horror films...hand in front of face from behind the sofa waiting for the worst to happen.

Peretz's distribution has been poor today.
