Such an issue for the team. On 70 mins there are holes appearing through the middle. Martin could see it and tried to plug with Stephens. However he was struggling by then as well. Needed Charles or Bragg.
Plus what's happened to Meghoma. Looked ready when he played.
Thought Che had a good game today. Taking him off looked to be an error, but there is a game Tuesday
Martin will be working hard to keep the players fresh.
Good take. Not having Charles there was a big mistake. He has energy and enthusiasm. Stephens could never step into that role at 75 minutes.
Very conflicted on Brookes, moments of magic but zero contribution to defence. No wonder KWP looked knackered.
So predictable, Stephens has played ok today but he is no midfielder. Watford player breezed past him. Needed Charles on, no way would he have allowed that.
They look so leggy
For all the pleasure at Ipswich losing. Remember that if Saints don't go up, they'll face two tough local derbies that most other teams don't have.
It is just going to get harder isn't it
It's by far the best part of his game. They'll be all over him and leave space for Armstrong.
Shearer was good at that, but that's as far as the comparison goes.
