Lovely touches from Welington. And we've persevered with Manning all season. Welington has been very good today.

Good start to the second half by us so far. I'd still be more comfortable with a third but Stoke... so far... havent offered anything to be too worried about. But we're Saints. We do Saintsy things.

I said a bang, bang, bangity bang, I said a bang bang bangity bang. Flynn on his arse.

Seeing the pen/dive again, definite contact. Azaz went down too quickly though. VAR would have given the pen but would probably have given the handball before that anyway. Small margins. Come on football Gods, please let us have the 3 points! 😁

I'd be interested to see if Tonda has the balls to put Oyekunle on should the need arise.

Peretz iffy punch there but came to nought. Good first half really. Can't complain. Not seen much from Ross but maybe he's saving himself for the second half. I can't see us keeping a clean sheet so another goal or two would be nice.

He's been decent.

Ross not really in it so far but otherwise we've been pretty good bar the odd scare.

Not me. Slip earlier aside I feel more confident with Peretz in goal.

Azaz booked for diving

What a ball from Azaz. Shot from Fellows saved

Stoke's passing has been decent and they're winning a lot of balls. Need to keep the fight up.

Save Peretz

Mess in defence. We look so panicky

Jeez Peretz

Get in!

Could be an end to end sorta game. We need to take our chances. Which has been an issue of late.

I guess we'll be hoping Oyekunle, Ehibhatiomhan or Akachucwu can step up to be the next wonderkid then. Though I can see us scrambling round the market for whatever cast offs we can get before that.

We have to act in the window by Monday then. No AA, no Archer, we can't rely on Ross the Glassman and youngsters for the rest of the season. Deadline day may be more interesting than expected. Unless we're wrapping AA up in cotton wool until Tuesday. Good to see THB in. Obviously no immediate plans to sell.

Probably the strongest team bar squeezing Charles in. Still 4231 too which is positive. No AA though

Scienza is in!

Horrible feeling it'll be a back 3 today if Scienza is out. Playing for a draw.

Typical West Ham. "We'll pay you a pound a week for 200,000 years. It's a good deal, you should take it."

The window shuts in February so there's hope yet. Im not sure if I want to follow the Deadline Day on Monday or lie in a darkened room and hide.

You and us both Adam.
