HANG ON LADS - Please hang on

I'm anxious and I'm not even watching it...

Can't find the link on Sky Go app but anyway I'm stuck at work so I'm relying on you lot with the news. Can't fault the scoreline so far. Another dull second half in store? I'd take a third to be sure.

I usually want Norwich, any excuse to piss the wife off, but as we have them in the league on Saturday that will be enough gloating for a while when we beat them. Weston Super Mare would be cool, TV game guaranteed. Funnily enough I have a vision of Brentford away though. i hope Chelsea are away, any excuse not to have to work another match at Fulham.

I'd like to think we'd strengthen in January. I still don't see a keeper coming in sadly (just a hunch) but I think we'll look at another striker, even with AA clicking with his new homies. Another attacking AM would be nice too. Would Norwich finally sell Sargent? I wonder if they'll be looking to sell to strengthen and I doubt his value will be as high as it was in the summer. Our late summer policy of signing some of the better Championship players from last season is starting to pay dividends. More of the same would be nice to strengthen the squad. Also whoever scouted Scienza and Jander (and even Spertsyan though we didn't get him) deserves another shot at bringing someone else in. I think we'll see a few players go in January. SR have got a lot wrong in their tenure but the late summer transfer dealings have given me some positivity that they are learning from their mistakes. Maybe Spors influence?

Decent win against a potentially dangerous opponent. Keeping up with the play off race. A few more wins in December please and we can go into the transfer window in a nice position.

I haven't put a bet on since last season, I'm trying to be good. But an insurance bet would be tempting here...

That requires one Mr Oriel Romeu Vidal. Hopefully.

I'd be more comfortable with a 3 goal cushion Saints...

I'm lurking mostly today as I'm busy at work but you can't knock that half time score. Surely Brum will show more in the second half...

Better the devil you know? You can't say he didn't get some results recently, just once again we seem to be wedded to a manager that plays 3 CBs. Hopefully we continue to see an upturn in performances but failure to get promoted this season won't fully be his fault. I hope he starts his full management career with a win tomorrow.

Agree with the first two, but unless something has changed, Charles may be out until the new year according to the reports when he got injured. We'll see. Downes has a few knockers this season but he's still a good option for us and we can all see how much difference Scienza makes to us. Another Scienza-type signing in January would be nice.

Tough game next, it’s how we bounce back that will be a measure of how good an option Tonda is going forwards. Another abject performance against Brum and maybe he isn’t the messiah. Win and it shows he can change it up. It also highlights how important Scienza is to us.

A week until Brum. Work to be done.

Gutting.

A draw today would be a good result. I thought this before the game. Tonda, make it so.

Last throw of the dice, something to honour Romeu

That's game over.

Rom on is good. Now I'd like to see Welington and Matsuki on. Attack is the best form of defence and all that...

Get Rom on! Get Rom on! 😝

Damn. They'll fancy this now. Come on Saints.

Germans in honour of Tonda?

Come on Saints, a clean sheet today and thus the 3 points would be massive. Tonda needs to make good subs to earn his potential crust.

Scores are largely favourable for Saints today (and last night) League-wise. Would be nice to get out shiz together and win this. Big chance for Eckert to show if he has the skill to change things. A draw would still be a decent result though. Coventry now winning. Unsurprising.
