Yeah and it happens to be to the player we can least afford to lose in their position. Larin close perhaps but with Long as back up, we really need Peretz. Ramsdale should play, but we all know it will be Long. And Skates fans will wank themselves stupid.

Sue the fuckers. 😝

And yet our punishment might still end up being worse for a club our size bearing in mind we were almost definitely heading up to the Prem. Unless City get expelled from the Prem perhaps which could lead to players finding contract loopholes. Financially I expect they can cope with anything thrown at them. Will be interesting to see how this one turns out.

A meaty game for Adam Lallana to get his first taste of managerial experience... 😉

It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to. Cry if I want to. Cryyyyyy if I want to... Though I hope I don't have to. 6-0 Saints. Dobbin hattrick to be an instant hero.

Yeah they won't spend big as usual. Possibly a striker, maybe upgrade CB if the right player is available and that's it pending departures. I'd like it if they were ambitious and did more to really push us in to the Prem but I don't trust SR to do that. A lot depends on where we are by January.

Agreed. I didn't mind Edozie 3 years ago when he was young and promising but he's 23 now and offers next to nothing. Waste of a squad place. I'm not ruling Dobbin out just yet - he has barely had any game time, but when the first XI almost writes itself it will be difficult for him to infiltrate it.

Tonda has his favourites but to be fair to him, they've not let him down too often but already it seems as if he doesn't trust Dobbin. £9 million wasted so far when we needed a striker or another CB and we need to do better in January.

We'll be fine for the play-offs but the squad is weak. We need to keep the first team fit until January and strengthen.

It's games like this that shows we're not top 2 material. Seriously need a better winger behind Edozie, and for £9 million they better be better for the money than Dobbin who Tonda doesn't seem to trust to change a game.

Come on Saints!

Welcome home James.

Goalllllllll 1-1

Winning this now would be a measure of whether we are top 2 material. Drawing is a measure of how good a play-off contender we are. Lose? Well we go into the Skates game with a point to prove.

Fuckity fuck
