How has Forster not got a hand to that...?

Not a bad first half given we've got a lunatic for a manager

Is that £40m loss over and above the £80m (?) loan?

I don't envisage Bednarek doing any pissing about in this game...

Probably not, but I think I can see why he's done it. It might work, it might not. We'll find out in a few hours. #pragmatism

Fits in well with some of our fans then...

Given clubs our size seemingly stand to be disadvantaged by 5 subs, do we know why Ralph is so keen on it...?

Ralph...? https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19805500.hasenhuttl-absolutely-positive-reintroducing-five-subs/

Indeed. If we'd lost to Man City, Man Utd, Spurs and West Ham and got 6 - 9 points from our last 3 games vs Villa, Newcastle and Watford then I doubt certain people would be as doomladen as they are today. (Yes, of course, there's a chance that these last 3 defeats could be the start of a dreadful run of form, which would be cause for concern, but we don't know that yet...)

Most of the Saintsweb intelligentsia were concurring with his formation switch in the pre-match thread yesterday.... "great to see Ralph trying something different etc etc" was the prevailing view. I guess the phrase I'm looking for is: Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't #saintsweblogic

Only 11,479 to catch up with a no-life saddo like me

We seem to be the masters at taking our foot off the pedal once we get a sniff of relative safety around March time. That's 3 half-hearted games on the trot. Baffling after such a good c.3 month period (aka "a few games"). Maybe the players have got wind of all the superstars that Dragan intends splashing out on in the summer...?

Every cloud...

It'll amuse me, anyway. That said, I'm easily pleased

If only you'd mentioned that before kick off (rather than defending the line up) we'd now be hailing you as a footballing genius...

Still time for this to turn into the most amusing match thread of the season so far. COYS!

Almost 2-2

Boom!
