Sometimes I'm a little premature too!

This was the case in pre-season too. My view is that RH didn't respect the knowledge or opinions of our previous coaching team, so didn't listen to them. To be honest, why would you? Great that he's got better quality alongside him now.

What it is to be a Saints fan, eh? So.... - Our new guys can play a bit. Maybe the SR scouting team know their onions? - We're best with a back 4, and going for it. RH: remember this, you plum. - Djenepo is an adequate backup LB - ABK could become a beast Reasonably happy. Certainly more optimistic than 45 minutes ago. With a couple more signings and RH getting back to his pressing philosophy, I think this season will be a lot of fun.

I'm volunteering to de-mystify his mum.

This. We, and RH, are all about energy, press, balls-out football. Fuck the 3 at the back, 'safety' nonsense. Glory or go out on your shield.

Boom. Was it Mara with the assist?

ABK is going to become a legend.

We can win this. Be brave. Believe. Push.

FUCKING GOAL!!! Ariiiiiboooooo!

Bednarek off, and didn't look happy. Mara on.

Jesus Christ. This is Leeds, at our place. We've really lost our way.

Lost my stream. Which is annoying. But does mean I can imagine that we're playing better.

Bollocks. Asleep.

Okay. Not terrible. Lacking some cutting edge, but we're used to that. Moi has picked up some decent positions, but terrible end product. Let's get Aribo on!

Liking ABK.

Good football. Unlucky Stu didn't quite get through. Oooohhh. Close on for VAR.

Shame that we have to pick players who we want to move on. Shopwindow time guys - earn that move! No Perraud in the squad. Is he injured? Sold?! Moi starting over Aribo....... the only reason will be to have him come off the bench against tiring opponents. At least there's some pace available to bring on. 3 at the back - that's okay, as long as we press well: which we did at times in pre-season. C'mon Saints. Lets have a performance to make us proud.

Word of the day: bravery. We need RH to be brave with his selection and tactics, and we need the players to be brave from the off. If we do our timid act then I think the atmosphere will get toxic (and we'll gt beat). Team needs to go for it - if we lose 4-3 and have given it everything that's okay with me. Have to see some drive and energy today.

Cause the first team players are mostly shite?

I'm confident they'll be a few Cuntos in the stadium by the time you get there.

Actually we've signed Nick Pope.

Wonder where that leaves the Che to Forst stuff? I remain confident that SR are going to pull a couple of rabbits out of their metaphorical hats. Delap, Broja, Dembele, the tall Austrian and the guy 'Z' fella haven't moved yet. Although gut feel is Broja would be a no-go after the (slightly concerning) RH comments. CHO hasn't signed anywhere yet. What is forum favorite Caleta-Carr up to? Phil Jones has still not moved. There's plenty of decent players who look like they'll be making moves in the next few weeks.

Feels like a massive game this. Come out with pressing, energy and effervescence and the world will be a much happier place. Set out a defensive, rabbit-in-headlights, safety first and things wil turn nasty quick. Will we play the 'open to offers' guys? Shop window, or will they give a shit? I'm guessing they don't start. Baz KWP - ABK - Salisu - Perraud Romeu - Lav JWP - Aribo - Stu AA (prefer Che though) The kids'll come good. 3-1 Saints. I remain an optimist.

I still feel the same. Good that we've got the new coaching team; good that we've had some squad investment (definitely need a few more of starting quality). I REALLY want him to come good - when we're on form under RH, we've been fantastic to watch. (Yes, I know the opposite is completely true! 💩💩💩) Didn't like some of his comments at the fan's forum though; looked under pressure. I doubt SR liked his (or Semmens) comments. It does feel like the tide has turned against him, but I'm rooting for him to get us back to our post lockdown form over the next 7 games. Not easy - momentum curves and stuff*. Gut feel is he won't manage to and will be gone by October sadly. Hope I'm incorrect on this. Needs a big performance on Satuurday. * Where is Glasgow Saint/Heisenberg/Kenyan chappie these days?

Perhaps 'smaller first team squad' is a component of #pathway? More opps for youngsters on the bench.
