Sheaf Saint

Some of the early comments on this thread are looking pretty hilarious now, given today's developments 🤣

Another shout for this please. Been on the road most of the day so a quick summary of what's happened transfer wise would be greatly appreciated.

Another one seemingly out of nowhere. Yet another classic SR signing on the face of it.

Can just imagine his reaction after getting 3s and 4s in his first round... "I'm actually a very good dancer, but my style is too modern and progressive for the judges to appreciate. Once they understand my process I'm sure one of them will be brave enough to give me a 10".

Is that some sort of delicacy in North Lincolnshire?

Grimsby and Utd dragging out this shootout as long as possible then.

Not conceded for 35 mins now. No doubt Russ will point to that in his post match comments as some kind of small victory.

Help me out here guys, cos I don't really know much about Belgian football... Are Brugge actually any good?

I'd be happy with that. He's not getting game time at Fulham so would seem at least feasible.

SR have made some 'questionable' contract decisions in recent times, but surely even they wouldn't be quite so deranged as to extend this guy's. He looked so promising in that first few months as well. Would love to know the full story but I doubt we ever will.

Sauce?

Indeed. Downes can't do it. There's no point busting a gut to win back possession if all you're then going to do is pass it straight back to the other team.

Just watched the highlights. Couple of really nice goals there. But the biggest takeaway for me is how refreshing it is to have a keeper who can actually save things.

So can someone please explain to me how Stoke's second goal on Saturday was apparently unstoppable, but this wasn't? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxPXhhRGKKs71z6FOuk2cPdufO4kQovwUm?si=7tJOlWtkquRiXFZh

Somewhere on a Norwich forum, someone is probably saying they would rather discuss the pedestrianisation of the high street than watch this shite.

You're mad you are!

No it doesn't 😉

The one-third point is still closer to the centre than the post 😉

The freeze frame right before that paints a different picture...

OK so the issue here, as I see it, is that you are basing your assessment on the potential of the current players to perform for us at this level, whereas I'm looking at what Adams actually did for us in 23/24 rather than what he had the potential to do at the start of that season (which was still uncertain at that point, but at least we had a couple of years of evidence of what he could do playing regularly in the PL). So my thinking is much more along the lines of a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush.

They are stats of goals scored by those players at other clubs, in different environments and under different circumstances. Whether or not they will ever be able to translate them to Saints is very uncertain, but the evidence so far is not encouraging. And your second sentence here is just absurd. You would like to believe that those players might be able to hold the ball up because of their height? Well Onuachu is even taller than both of them and was utterly useless at it. Give me a player who I know actually can do it (like Adams) over two who might be able to any day.

It was you that made the direct comparison between Stu and Fernandes, not me.

And IF he is still here on 3rd September, I'll give you that one as he will be a big upgrade. Otherwise it's another pointless comparison.
