Is this actually true?

Totally agree with this. Fresh legs just as Aribo and Armstrong were flagging. Bree was also blowing out of his arse for 10 minutes before his red card. Just a shame we didn't have a quality RB on the bench...

Why the need to swear at a fellow supporter, it doesn't enhance your argument. We are all Saints fans and having a different opinion is normal

In the last PL promotion chase I think we bought Billy Sharp in the January window and his goals were critical in getting us over the line. Exactly the sort of fox in the box that we needed in this transfer window, especially after Ross Stewart's hamstring injury. There have been so many occasions this season where a cross had been fired right across the 6 yard box, begging to be tucked away.

I love that optimism 😀

This is just how I feel. It always feels as though he is playing for himself rather than the team. Edozie was also precociously skilled with no end product when he arrived but he has learnt whereas Sulemana hasn't.

Shout out for Che Adams whose all round play was excellent yesterday and was noticeably missed when he was subbed (wrongly) for Mara

Lose our best attacking midfielder to accommodate a centre half who leaves us exposed when he strolls into midfield. Not for me.

He has grown on me, good analysis and a good rapport with Adam.

I thought I'd join this thread to read about Joe Aribo. Silly me

No, not everything. Just when he is at fault, which is far too often.

I'd rather he wasn't playing

Bad from Bednarek but why is Manning shadowing Bednarek? So both players cut out of the game

Well, we beat them to easily enough

Thanks Chewy. Great to hear some support for Charles. Like you, I think he will be a great player.

I don't get the fascination for Sulemana. In 33 matches he has scored twice for Saints and none at all this season.

I don't think that is true in this instance. Most Saints fans would agree that Downes has been immense.

Has to be Rothwell. One of the best strikes of a ball I have seen. Reminded me of a Le Tissier type strike.

Incredible coup for the Saints transfer committee

I would be delighted with this signing. He was in brilliant form before the diagnosis (he was actually at the Euros with Wales) and at the time was on the radar of several top teams. He now needs gametime which he can't get at Bournemouth. In Bournemouths recent 5-0 FA Cup thrashing of Swansea he created the first two goals and scored the third. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68091050 Great signing for us and him. I really think this could be the difference between the playoffs and automatic promotion.

I totally agree about Benson, something fishy there

Perfect summary for me. Particularly re Benson

I would prefer a Leicester win

Charles is a decent signing already, in my book. He has 24 appearances for Saints this year, hardly the "bit player" you make him out to be. The modern game isn't just about the starting eleven, it's about the whole match day team which he is firmly a part of.
