Odd response. I accepted we would sell the majority of decent players ages ago. Actually losing them is still a negative experience.

I don't entirely disagree. Adam is normally a bit of a happy clapper abd only a few days ago he was saying the club can't lose both players. Quite a change.

Sigh. We all knew it was happening but still depressing to get confirmation

By better ones presumably you mean THB?

That's the 13 million pound question.

Is everyone just taking a load of pills and spouting off this evening?

Evil

Just listened to his post match interview with a huge smile on my face. It's identical to what he said with us. Not tactical apparently! Hilarious.

I still think back to that game and shudder.

Martin has got to be delighted with that. They've played football exactly as he wants them to.

Delicious. Imagine when they concede by ducking about at the back against celtic.

Much better after the last half an hour. Some shoots there of something better.

I think most fans are pretty much agreed on that lineup now.

First big test for will is starting lineup. If fit and assuming he picks Stephens and Dibling and Fernandes are off surely the team has to be Bazunu Sugawara Quarshie Stephens Wellington Downes/Sesay Charles Armstrong Robinson Archer Downs

Such a shame we're never going to see Downes Charles Dibling Robinson Fernandes Downs That attack would cook.

I think that's the team I'd play. Good call.

I really want to see Downes and the new Charles playing together. That's my hope for the season because that central midfield will be up there with the best in the division.

I wonder which but of that Will will find interesting? Probably the first half.

Wonder how he knows that. Odd way to do it if that's the case.

Wellington, Sugawara, Charles, Robinson should all start next week. So much more attacking intent. Actually trying to play football. I don't care so much about the result so much as moves like we are doing now.

Finally a few positives to take from the match. Sugawara looked lovely too.

How do you know he isn't? I don't think you can blame the manager for saints not bringing more players in yet.

What this shows is Robinson simply has to start next week. One of the only bright spots of preseason.

My feelings are exactly the same as they were when we had this conversation yesterday or the day before. Identical in fact.

I thought you could only make big signings at the end of the window and you had to start the season significantly underpowered?
