What a hero. A modern day Ben Thatcher.

They now count blocked shots separately, whether they were on target or not. I hate it. If a shot is blocked on the line that is no longer considered a shot on target. Similarly you could have 20 shots that were never going in be blocked, and stats would show zero shots off target - making your accuracy sound amazing.

I will also say that I saw Bazunu cock up at the back plenty of times last season as well, it just hardly cost us because we were playing against Championship strikers. Lo and behold first Prem game trying to play out from the back in such a way and we get punished.

The transfer is under investigation not us specifically, and Villa are the ones who have done wrong if anything. I don't believe anything will come of it.

I think that falls outside those rules as him going back to Villa was automatically triggered by Uniteds relegation. They ended up with a player they didn't want and sold him on. Either way, we haven't done anything wrong in that. We would have signed him from Sheffield United and probably for less anyway.

We had 18 shots to be fair so we did create. BBD missed a big one and there was some huge last ditch defending.

Which is nonsense, we didn't slow down at all up till that mistake.

Or indeed Stephens.

Three other keepers on the books after renewing the contracts of two in the summer. Ridiculous.

I simultaneously hope not (he looked great) and hope so (Martin is a moron if he chose to take him off).

Of course we do. Trouble is we're practicing against our defence.

Only if you're going to insist on your keeper playing like Pirlo.

Alcaraz on the pitch has a good strike of the ball.

Archer wasteful with the ball, passing it straight out of play.

Armstrong close again, deflected wide.

Eastleigh 3-2 up now from 2-0 down.

If it was an injury why didn't Bree come on?

Interesting that he's turned to Edozie to change this game after not trusting him at all for most of last season.

Eastleigh fight back from 2-0 down to equalise, go on Kelvin.

BBD misses a sitter...? Oh no.

Sugawara being the one to come off baffles me. Should have been Stephens, but of course he's one of Martins beardy banter boys.

I agree, but we KNOW he is like that so just don't put him under that kind of pressure.

Sugawara off for Edozie...? WHAT? Got to be a back four change, with THB to right back I would assume.

Surely they're coming back out with 9 men then?

No idea.
