I don't think it helped that nobody went wide right midfield when Masuki came off, it allowed them to push on up their left, which is where the cross came from. It was a very good cross, don't think Wood could have done anything about it, maybe nudge the forward under it, but that is all. For me, I would have prefered Fellows coming on to give us an outlet on the right, occupy their leftback and help Bree out. Horrible team though, can't remember Wimbledon or even a Howard Wilkinson side take a kick off that comes down with snow on it !

Moran was at his best playing off someone who would get the attention of the centre halfs, Keegan, Worthington Jordan. Without that ditraction he wasn't nearly as effective. I think Ballard is similar in that respect, don't think he waould be any use up front on his own. Under Tonda, wew only seem to play 2 up if we are losing or if we have a few injures. I would have like to have seen Ballard back at Saints, but I don't think he would suit us, unless we went 4 4 fucking 2 !

Could be a good fit, and Larin would be there to deal with any language problems eh !

We're you listening to RadMac today?😆

Love Actually

Don't think Bragg or Downs know which one is supposed to be sitting back. No midfield cover for either goal. Stephens plays a suicide pass for the first. For the 2nd he runs back parallel with touchline , he should be running diagonally toward the goalscorer. Shocking all round

Caught the ènd of them talking about Saints on soccer Saturday. Merse thought we had been hard done by and should have just got a massive fine. They all seemed to think that we had been punished enough and Tonda should be left alone

It is always a percentage of profit not fee received. We payed 15 Million for Charles , so Citys slice will be 15% of 10 million or so , a bit over 1.5 million

Not surprised that it has all gone quite on transfers. Solak has public stated that he wanted Larin, Peretz and an alternative number 10 ( Dobbin) . He also said that any other buisness would depend on outgoings . So for nobody has left, other that the free transfers. Hopefully, BBD and maybe Archer and Edozie can be offloaded soon. Sugawara will take longer, as he is probably still on a post world cup holiday. Likewise, Ross Stewart will be waying up his options on a beach somewhere, but needs to make his mind up soon. Rangers and Cetic have signed their main sticking targets, Hearts have a big vacancy, but are already out of the Champions League, having lost their best 2 players and manager, so I think Scotland may no longer be a good option. If he goes elsewhere, we will need a back up to Larin. I am sure we will sign another keeper, but have to get rid of Ramsdale and Baz first. Or maybe we will go with youth as the 3rd keeper ? After that, the question is who leaves than we would ideally like to keep from, THB, Charles, Jander and Leo.

If Rogers is worth over 100M then he is deffo worth 30 M. I had Rogers in my fantasy league team for a few weeks and he did nothing. It would not suprise me if Charles got more goalsand assists than Rogers this calander year.

The BBC summary on the News this morning dissed Oyarzabal because he is a one club man, and Sociedad only finished 10th last season ! As if that makes him a bad player! It is also worth noting that Sociedad also won the Copa Del Rey last season and so qualified for Europe. They spent the last month of the season on the lash!

Mine disappeared for a month, eventually returning with a different URL and password. A friend of mines dissapeared a month after he renewed, never to return .

Maybe, having already been let go by 2 clubs that got promoted, he didn't want to risk it again ?

Don't think he played in the game up there. I was impressed with the lad who scored their goal , Stamenic. He ran the game and we only got our goals after he was taken off.

If we had envoked the one year extension Ross would have got just what is in the original contract. Saints missed the date, the lawyers spotted it and now he will be a free agent, meaning a decent signing on fee wherever he goes. He may well decide stay with us, who knows? He will have offers I am sure, but Saints gambled that we would want to free up his wages if we got promoted. This has back fired. Personally, I would have extended for a year. He has a good brain on him, his movement is streets ahead of Archer and Armstrong. In the first half of the season all our strikers were waiting for crosses to reach them. Ross's goal at Leicester was the complete opposite.
