Whatever happened to the time whereby the club declared that the U21s/u23s were rebranded as "the B team" with the expectation that anyone in that squad could step up to the first team squad if circumstances dictated it a requirement...? If there was ever a time that a centre forward needed to transition from the 'B team' to the first team it's now...

Ergo, he's not as good as Downs...,?

Thoughts at this time very much with @Fabrice29, @notnowcato, @Lighthouse, @Farmer Saint and @gio1saints Always here to talk if you ever need a shoulder ♥️

Matsuki is another case in point. Whenever he's played for us (which isn't much, granted) his first thought is to gain ground in the opponents half and shoot on instinct from outside the box. Why do we put these players with a natural positive attitude back in their box rather than embrace them on the field? He scores a screamer in the cup then never to be seen again. Bizarre.

I've mentioned this before, and it could be a false memory, but when he first arrived at the club I'm sure we played him in a very advanced position. So, yes, I can see him being able to fill a gap there, especially if Stewart is now going to be sidelined for a period of time again.

Still has just about kept up with Russell Martin's run-rate up to now, but he'll now need to go up a gear or two if that trend is to continue over the coming months. Obviously too early to conclude that Still can't continue to match Martin at this level, but I have my doubts.

Only two points less than the "outstanding" Russell Martin achieved in this league at the same stage of the season. I have my doubts about Still but obviously too early to write him off as things stand.

Downes and Azaz coming on

I don't get why wingers of Fellow's calibre don't look up before crossing rather just pumping it in hoping that someone might be where he crosses it to...

Fair enough. As I say, I don't know enough about his current injury situation to offer any informed counter-argument 👍🏻

Fellows was our best player Vs Sheffield Utd and Still subbed him off... Worked that time...

I'm not up to speed with his injury record but, according to the link you posted, he had a "muscle injury" from January to March last season and no reports of any injury since... So, what's his current injury situation...?

Bamford on a free...?

As far as I'm aware, VAR wouldn't intervene for a misjudged throw-in decision, so moot point...

House!

Charlie you stupid twat

Inept officials 1 Saints 1

That's bonkers.... It's not even close...!

Why is that "odd"....?

Now 6 points off the autos and 3 points off the play offs... Defo just the play offs for us now then...

Still did explain his decision to take Fellows off in one of his post match interviews... He mentioned about wanting to be more direct but that it was largely done "on instinct" (or words to that effect)

It was the leprechauns that won it

Yep, that's my view too. I didn't think he was as bad tonight as a lot are making out. Yes, he had a couple of clangers but he also snuffed out a number of their chances with his speed and physical presence. As you say, he has attributes that Stephens and THB don't and, given all three of them are prone to the odd mistake here and there, I'd stick with Quarshie given his other qualities.

Looking up...
