The derby that every non-Saints kid once thought existed. Understand the desire to settle a consistent starting 11 but I think it’s important to keep the subs bench sharp too. Would probably play something like McCarthy Taylor, Edwards, Stephens, Sanda, Sugawara Smallbone, Charles Edozie, BBD, Armstrong (Positions may be slightly wrong) Some guys like Sugawara, Edwards need extra conditioning if they’re gonna play for Ipswich. Others would be okay with a day off. Some players should play as an advertisement in a low stakes cup game eg Smallbone BBD. In that same vein, bring on the likes of ABK, Archer later in the game. Keep strong players on bench in case of emergency. Oh and keep some players like Stephens and Charles for a solid spine

From what I have seen, Pierce isn’t half bad, certainly wouldn’t mind us taking a look, but he would surely want to be playing week in week out at this stage in his career.

Today has to have been as good as an advertisement for Spertsyan as possible. Come and make the goals explode son.

They were too busy dreaming about Disney

Outlasting teams and having that little bit of energy for last minute goals will be whar gains us promotion great for the shoe to be on the other foot

Feels good to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!!! - Quarshie class - Fraser still got it - Robinson excited to see develop - Capt. Jack already paying the contract back - Bazunu great saves

Referee is dreadful

Jayrob a positive, Fraser’s mad dash good but we can’t take advantage of crosses with these players up front

Attack is too blunt (and short), we need subs

Satisfied with the team. Hope we shoot right out of the gates. They aren’t used to top quality opposition so could shell shock them.

I would be thrilled with Spertsyan. The critic in me says to not get too excited about the yearly big missed summer target though…

We’re going to walk this league.

I can inuit that yukon take any more.

I understand, but I will always want Saints to compete at the absolute highest level possible. I also enjoy, as GITR put it so well, bloodying the noses of the entitled princes of the PL.

NTT20 Fan survey

Wednesday's transfer fee restriction has been extended to the 2026-27 window. They will be unable to conduct any transfers involving a fee until summer 2027..

I think Wednesday fans would have something to say about that list...

AI based on Indian English.

Frankly I think we’ll trounce them. They aren’t really anything special in this league in neither squad or manager. I still expect us to be a bit lethargic and shaky throughout but a couple of flashes will win us the game.

My heart says Downes doesn’t really care to be here and would jump at a half decent offer.

And we’ll probably pull in at least three times that in total this window if we sell Fernandes as well. crazy money. Props to SR

Yes, and for that reason I've been fairly impressed with our sales the last 2 relegation windows. So many fans were licking their lips at the thought of us fire selling half of squad on the cheap.

Fair enough to the selling team. Now only if the buying team could get it together we could be selling off kids for 70m+ in the PL.

To be fair I think Everton will be a different beast under this new ownership. I expect them to move upwards whilst some other staples continue to capitulate. For players, one of the PL’s more exciting projects

He’s not good enough.
