Salisu absolutely superb so far.

They're pressing much better than we are.

He's been very lucky that the defence has played so well the last few games.

That was weak as piss from Diallo. He really lacks conviction in his passing.

Really, really stupid challenge from Lyanco. Never getting to that.

Well played Diallo, good defensive play there.

Salisu copying Lavias hairstyle to try and gain his power?

Either Bazunu got something on it or if he didn't then Ramsey deliberately kicked it out of play away from goal in which case he wasn't getting to it and Bazunu didn't impede him.

Disagree, I think it's much better than the overly loud techno music. At least when they pick up the tempo the crowd can join in and get an atmosphere going.

Just realised it's Bournemouth v forest and west ham v Everton today. This round of games could be the start of a group of teams being cut adrift at the bottom.

If we win today it'll be the first time since under Koeman that we beat four Prem teams in a row. For that reason I'm sceptical it will happen.

Much appreciated.

Where do you get those stats from out of interest? Is it a free or paid platform? I'd like to take a look at a few things.

I'm confused - if we don't, do they give those blocks to home fans instead? In which case their reasoning for sticking away fans in the top tier - it's the only way to segregate home and away at St James - is utter bollocks.

Never understand this thinking. That £5million wouldn't come close to getting someone in that would be any better than Djenepo, who has shown some real talent as well as graft at times and deserves a chance under a new manager to see if he flourishes - especially as he's only 24.

In all honesty I don't mind the odd one or two coming with their Saints mates as long as they keep themselves quiet. The ones that come in and give it the big one deserve a smack before being dragged out.

Swore to myself years ago i'd never travel on a coach again but considering it for the away leg...does anyone know how comfortable the ones they use are?

Managed to get it sorted, cheers for the heads up anyway!

That will be based off his time in Scotland as he doesn't have enough game time here for it to have made a difference.

Don't suppose anyone that isn't going to the home leg is happy for me to borrow their supporter number? Young lad we're taking for the first time doesn't have one and I didn't realise you had to register for one before the 11th 🤦🏼‍♂️

Whoscored is usually pretty accurate with its ratings of players based on stats...

Under Ralph didn't we regularly have half the season with relegation form and half the season with top half form? Until last season of course when we were just crap.

Of course. That's exactly the same as suggesting a couple of older players who haven't played as much the last two seasons and won't get a top club offer when their contract runs out, a youngster who wouldn't get the game time at a top 6 Prem club yet, a championship striker and a striker at a middling Ligue 1 club.

If we're going to try and muddle through the rest of the season without signing a centre forward - which I don't think would be an absolute disaster - then some out of contract options for the summer are; Youssoufa Moukoko - Dortmund, highly rated and sought after but only 18 and we have a rep for playing youngsters. Roberto Firmino - Liverpool, long shot but 31 now and could be good for us for 2 or 3 seasons. Ben Brereton Diaz - Blackburn, I know nothing about him really but I know we're linked to him a lot. Moussa Dembele - Lyon, good age at 26, 79 career goals in 220 games. Andrea Belotti - Roma, 29 so like Firmino only going to give us a couple of seasons, but 111 goals in 307 games is a very good record for our level.

If white smoke comes out the top then you have a pope.
