Sounded like great work from Ward-prowse to set up Forte there, but he turned away from goal rather than having a shot.

2-0 win, Barnard and De Ridder.

Nothing against you, it's just the sort of misquote that certain people would undoubtedly use to slate the team with

In this half...

Second half kicking off.

Kidding? This is genius. Solent commentator sneaking into the Chicago Bears changing room? Outstanding.

A next-gen version of London would be amazing. Most likely to be Philadelphia or Las Vegas, IMO.

Straight to penalties.

What on earth is he on about?

Time to stop messing about Saints, goal in the next 5 minutes...

Seems just as evenly uneventful as ever to me.

Terrible

Good pacy work from Forte down the right hand side, shot spilt by the keeper.

So much for this being a match thread

Adkins clearly has faith in him, good enough for me.

Penalty claim by Reeves turned away.

Not sure why everyone is worried about the defence. The weakest link is Cork, and he is more than capable.

Yes, but as I recall there were no "big ties" on that night.

But he scored the winner - and it was a cracking goal. A fourth choice striker who does very little but still gets a goal? Yes please.

We've been spoilt with TV streams on here recently. Don't start expecting them every week.

He's done nothing wrong when played.

Team; Bialkowski, Butterfield, Martin, Cork, Harding, De Ridder, Ward-Prowse, Schneiderlin, Holmes, Reeves, Forte Subs; Dovey, Dean, Moore, Richardson, Guly, Lambert and Barnard

I can definitely remember a few occasions where Guly played with Barnard, and yes - he held the ball up very well.
