Saint Charlie

Hope so, that's when it counts. Just a couple of additions will hugely strengthen us so they can't come soon enough.

Probably, and you can't read much into pre season games but you look at the starting team and subs tonight and there aren't too many nailed on Prem players.

Agree...think we are still crying out for another wide threat. Don't think we ever replaced AOC and we were ok last season but the wide options this season won't cut it.

Do we have enough goal threat in the new system? Not sure we have enough in the wide positions and the central striker needs to be mobile.

Not his best position for sure.

I think JWP has played his way in.

First half lineup looks the City starting team IMO.

But Adkins has clearly said we are going to bring in another CB so will be fine then. And Pearce is certainly not better than Fonte. Haven't seen much of Mariappa but he was woeful against us at Vicarage Road. Have you seen a lot of him?

Reading have done a similar amount of business to us and they are now finished for transfers according to their Manager. Can't imagine our fans being happy if our CBs for the Prem were Pearce, Mariappa, Gorkss etc.

The same Dann that kept him out of the Birmingham team? Davies looks good and I think he is a good player but he has never really succeeded in the Prem despite a few goes at it. Doesn't mean he wouldn't this time, but doesn't mean he would.

If Guly is our worst player then we aren't doing too badly. Remember a fair few payers in our Prem days that were no where near as good on the ball as him. It's easy to slate him but Adkins picks him and I trust him more than people on an Internet forum. It's easy to criticise him and now some of the usuals do after every game which totally ruins the credibility of their complaints. He is a bit hit and miss but in no waY warrants some of the abuse he gets here. Fair enough if we had lots of better options, world class players etc but we don't at the moment.

Now they are out hopefully he will play on Tuesday to get him some match time after his cameos for Team GB.

Difference is Lee has an end product and quality on the ball. Was fantastic Watford away.

Crosby said after Lambert and Morgan back in training from beginning of next week. Hope we can add some players before Udinese.

Decent score line, interesting to hear reports from those there and maybe a post match transfer update from NA...

Hopefully Davis will get some game time in the second half!

And the bench has probably two/three Prem class players. Still need additions to compete!

Wolves have pretty much got their defence from last season playing so interesting to see how we do.

Let's just say our line up is certainly no better than Wolves.

Hope no injury to Rickie and Morgan. Have to say that both the lineup and the subs have a very Championship look about them.

Saints linked to Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez in the Italian press. He plays for Uruguay and is rated about 15m with Liverpool interested. Seems unlikley but was in Corriere dello Sport.

Doubt it. Possible that some Wolves local radio have a online comm but not sure.

Hope not. Dann is miles Berra.

To be fair what do you expect the reaction to be when you post that? It doesn't even make sense?

Definitely good news. Big fan of Chung.
