Interesting interview from Maya on Solent: the gist being that we need more creativity but we always train to press. He didn't sound happy at all.

Would make sense. There was a seemingly out of the blue link no to a French (I think) DM, who seemed to fit our criteria, about 3 weeks before the window shut. Can't remember her s name.

Glad Ralph didn't experiment too much. Surely that is our starting back line now?

Nice. Was Obafemi limping as he walked from the dugout then?

Lovely goal.

Surely we can step this up and score 4 or 5?

Boom.

Bet he goes off injured though!

Not for the first time either. Makes some very strange selections. If Puel or MoPe set us up like that this place would be going ape****.

So Valery can't get on the bench, but Stephens can. Injury? Bertrand can't get a game, so we play a right footed RB at LB, and a CB who has played LB at RB. And for some reason things aren't working. In the words of Adrian Durham: "Ralph H: is he all that?"

I'm bouyed and optimistic how our players share soundbites in the media about how we want to be "nasty to play against". However it seems we actually have a team of sporting Samaritans. Perhaps they'll start to get nasty in the second half?

So.... do we like Ralph's team selection today?

Nasty from Sharp.

This. Really was a special goal. Now let's get another.

Lovely move that....JennyPoo slips though.

Perfect loan for him: part of a winning team; even if he makes a mistake or two it probably won't cost them the win. He can learn to play the game again.

CB assist, CB scores!

Our midfield gets bypassed so easily.

I just don't using this set up with the players we have.

Thought I'd start one. Shouldn't have..... James just scored, well against the run of play.

Cedric starts, as does Boufal. PEH LWB.

No player near him according to the radio. Had a shot, and went down. Limped off with a bad ankle.

Redmond injured.

Maya on for Bednarek.
