Willo of Whiteley

Was convinced the Forest lad was smokescreen for the Norwegian guy, now Alfie House has backed it I’m underwhelmed.

I think that will be the case

Taylor Harwood-Bellis might be watching Villa v Arsenal tonight and go “nah fuck this, I want no part”.

Circle of trust - reassure us?

If I was working with Charlie Austin or Wesley Hoedt I wouldn’t be impressed either.

I think we’ll get the Norwegian lad.

Deep down I don't think they're looking to oust Stephens from the starting eleven, but I'm still hoping....

Add him to the list of players I've never heard of

Knowing starring Nicholas Cage

Full international is a bit rich. One cap, one measly cap, and he was sent off in less than half an hour. 😂 Correction - "has played" - less than ten games doesn't strike me as a consistent performer or someone we should be actively going after to get us out of the Championship. 😂 Are you Rasmus in disguise?

Ah. Very Saintsy. Sell the best defender, find two possible replacements both looking as decent and for reasonable price only for neither to come here, and us to panic buy a child. Very Saintsy indeed! 😂

Issa Toukara (I think that's his name) has left Saints to join Valenciennes for the season. #MultiClubModelBenefits

Ah, it's come down to looking at the youth teams now. I can't see how this will go wrong.

I must admit when I hear we're linked with a player nowadays I have more than likely not heard of them so always pop over to FIFA or FM to see their stats. 😂

Someone mentioned Dibling on loan, why would we want him back? He's jumped ship twice, wouldn't be long before he did it a third time.

I've always liked him. He was questionable in moments during his first season, but not as outrageous as some suggested. Arguably had a good season in the Premier League - weirdly; and did great again last season. I'd be offering him a new contract.

Spanner. Fans pants have been pulled down since SR took over - yes. The club, probably not. I wouldn't say we've overpaid for many players, even Brereton-Diaz seemed a bargain at the time.

You're the only one saying he has refused to play. I wouldn't pick someone to play if their mind was elsewhere... Tonda didn't select him.

Four concerns for me still, and knowing full well we won't be making four signings: - A GK, imagine Peretz getting injured - Long being the answer seems too much! - A defender to replace Harwood-Bellis. Not Schlotterbeck, clearly he is here to play ahead of Stephens. - A midfield unit in midfield. Jander, Bragg, Downes and Ward-Prowse is a very good midfield four but feel we need one more for depth and with muscle. - A striker to challenge Larin in a similar mould. Is Mubama the answer? Again, not sure yet.

Almost as deluded as he is in thinking his tactics work 😉😂

No. No it won’t. 😂 Easiest question ever!

Having also sat near the Millwall fans, some of them are absolute cretins and dare I say it a shambles to society. You get that breed with every club, lots of ours in that corner by the Chapel are embarrassing. Grown men encouraging their kids to give the wanker sign. Absolutely laughable. Some absolute specimens on both sides, but Millwall certainly up there as some of the worst I’ve had to listen to. Didn’t have to listen to them much after our second. 👀

Having gone to the game today, wow it’s amazing how a few bright moments can change a game. The first fifteen minutes we were poor and couldn’t get out our own half, the bright spark in that time was Schlotterbeck who mopped up everything from headers to clearances. (Unfortunate with the deflection for the goal). Manning post-shot and then assisting Larin to get our first and suddenly our tails were up. Refreshing to see Scienza run at a defence and Azaz with the most casual tap in going. Clearly great rapport though based on how he pointed to Leo for that goal. His penalty scared me with the stupid stutter, really wanted Larin to belt it. Then Larin for that fourth was dreamy, just wow, I expected the scuff and he hit it so cleanly. Fellows - it doesn’t matter how it happens just that it now has! Some things worth noting though are: - Great debut for Schlotterbeck - JWP extremely calm and composed - Very little backwards passing today, there was lots of direct turning and running forward with the ball which was excellent to see. There was not a single bad performance on the pitch. Everyone did their bit and clearly there is a strong rapport around the squad and dressing room. The West Ham game may well have been the kick up the arse needed. Very encouraging result. It’s about continuing that into the next one now!

Inside the first ten minutes you could see he was an immediate upgrade on Stephens. Shouting from the off, dictating plays and passes, winning duel after duel and mopping up loose balls. Nothing fancy, just basic stuff. But he was immense. Easily an 7-8/10 debut. Very comfortable.
