Agreed, the ground came alive with the equaliser and the winner was glorious, crowd exploded felt good to silence the wrexham fans

I think it’s time for Dibling to spread his wings and head out into the big wide world as well and for us to pocket 50m. But who will pay it?

Manning robbed

Criminal for Leicester to not win this surely. Wednesday don’t even have a proper starting 11 well, good for us

Even Rusty managed to do that, it’s a low bar.

I think working with Grealish would be a valuable learning experience for Dibling, if both end up signing.

Preferably a RB who is decent defensively (as well as offensively, of course) - our wing backs feel a bit volatile at the moment. Hoping Spertsyan goes through but also that we move quickly for an alternative if he drags things out too much longer. The closing weeks will be an acid test for Spors - will he be able to avoid the typical SR mistake of scrambling after our main target doesn't work out?

The two of them are riding a high wave due to very strong League One seasons, but I think the reality check will hit come September...

Okay, he's not absolutely woeful in all aspects - what he is good at is off-field management. Installing a feeling of camaraderie, uplifting players who have lost their confidence, protecting players from criticism (whether that be deserved or not). He is limited tactically, and he probably knows that, so doubles down on his brand and charisma to protect himself. The trouble is that even his strong points became negatives last season as he refused to adapt. We finished on 12 points, and a great deal of that was due to the softened atmosphere and low standards around Staplewood, which he installed, meaning even though he left in December he was haunting us right up until the end. Keep in mind that the 2020s have on paper gotten linearly worse for us each season as well. I don't think it's reasonable to blame people for still having a hangover about debatably our worst season in history (given the context).

With all the modern obsession of systems and styles of play it’s easy to forget that players are athletes who spend 90+ minutes dashing across the pitch. I think our fitness will give us the edge this season and many many late goals.

Jesus. Talk about bad judgement

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.
