Football Special

This feels a bit like our trip to Gillingham two years ago, not a fixture we particularly want with the squad in transition , unknown outgoings, would certainly expect at least 8 changes to starting XI and some u21s to feature.

Skates have a kind fixture list to start with, expect they'll be quite high when we play them, our next two are tough, Ipswich away possibly hardest away of the season and Stoke who could well be top when we play them

Thought the fans were decent today considering we were losing for most of the match. New banner unveiled over the Northam wall pre,-match looked decent, some big flags waved in the Chapel as the players came out, assume that was organised by the club?

They've already drawn with Motherwell, if lose to Dundee I think there's no coming back from that

I think it was a huge psychological importance to win today, so so long since we've experienced that feeling, for once a feelgood factor coming out of the ground, being an early kick off and sunny day loads still out in the pubs several hours later. Lots of weaknesses today though that I'm sure Still will want addressing

Agree, we did have some good chances first half and really should have scored , but overall we were far too easy to defend against

Sheff Utd fans calling for Ruben Selles out already, oh dear 🤣

Tough fixture, I'd 100% take a draw if offered now, Tall Paul was our hero up there last season, need a similar smash and grab performance with a late winner Definitely class it as a 6 pointer in context of the season

For who?

Really harsh, good scrap as well after need some red cards

Thought Birmingham have looked well organised and up for the battle, plenty of energy, always gives them a chance and something we completely lacked last season, also just used to winning matches.

Give The Painted Wagon a try

Perfect, can I get a re re rewind back to the Premier League

Tempting, I actually think both games will be a draw

Agreed. I'll be there, get behind the team etc , need full positive support, but really not impressed with that side at all and tempted to do the old insurance bet on a Wrexham win with generous odds

It seems they are the players that we have received firm offers for and in negotiation phase

Thought he'd be a bit more upbeat and positive, sounded like I do at work on a Monday morning

Agree, zero enthusiasm, it's worn him down already

Thought Still sounded a bit down in that conference, don't know what his personal issues were yesterday but maybe he's a bit stressed. Great to hear Fernandes is in the squad, we seem a bit short in midfield

If they do this will be me

Definition of quality I guess is down to opinion, but factually Onuacho scored more goals in the Premier league than any of our other forwards, so what does it say about them? I'd say Sulemana and Bednarek moving to Atalanta and Porto shows they have qualities deemed attractive to clubs at a higher level than us and those clubs were prepared to pay reasonable transfer fees for them, as will Dibling and Fernandes. The lack of interest in the rest of our squad is a good indication of how poor most of them are, my point being I don't see how others are now predicting them to get automatic promotion

I'm still struggling to get onboard with the opinion that we have a strong squad even after losing our 'best' players. Remember we've already lost key first team players RAMSDALE, WALKER-PETERS (both contenders for player of the season) and our league top scorer ONUACHO. We have also cashed in on KAMALDEEN SULEMANA and BEDNAREK to champions league Atalanta & Porto , if we then lose Dibling and Fernandes that really is taking one of the worst top flight squads of all time, removing any quality that was in it, what remains hardly fills me with confidence.

He's done a great job at Wrexham really, three successive promotions , I remember hearing him talk before about his days at Saints as part of the youth set up , around the time Benali, Shearer, Le Tiss were there so he does have Saints connections

Unfortunately with the change of stadium configuration a "sell out" at St Mary’s is usually just under 31k Club released a few more tickets today in blocks 9 and 3 if anyone still after a ticket
