SuperSAINT

Poor Charlie

The striker debate has raged on for sometime now - From pre-season all the way through to now. Austin is rumoured to be out for 3 to 4 months and we are amongst the lowest scorers in the league. Discussion has ranged from the need for a Pelle-type to a Mané-type striker. I wanted to gauge opinions on what type of striker people want to see us go for?

Also a positive: Jay playing his 1st 90 minutes in god knows how long. * Ah! Missed that post above

They are playing very, very well. Puel's rotation will be interesting for this one: -------------Forster----------- Cedric Yoshida Virgil Bertrand ------------Romeu----------- ------Højbjerg--Davis-------- Redmond----------------Tadic --------------Long----------- (Prediction, not opinion)

Over the moon with result. We needed that desperately. Intrigued to hear opinions on Jay. Sounded like he ran himself into the ground for us. Boufal goal showed why we signed him.

He was getting cramp.

Damn, I forgot they've got Traore on the bench

Please see this out Saints!

Yeah. As the away side they must be delighted.

Slow. Plodding. Football.

Sounds like we are creating more chances for Boro than we are for ourselves.

This!

After seeing us recently, that's probably not a bad idea. How would you not want Tadic & Boufal to start together?!

Please come good today, Jay!

Vardy scored after going 300 games without scoring yesterday so let's hope the same happens for Shane.

Already mentioned (on the Virgil thread)

Would be a huge plus. (Then again, I thought that about Cabaye/Wickham/Remy missing for Palace against us & look how that turned out!)

When we play on a weekend after a Mid-week game then I expect us to rotate still.

Yeah, you can tell because Jose is featured in a club video

Is that a striker on loan PLUS 2 players?

Virgil's price has gone up +£10m if City come in for him based on how they've defended tonight.

When the HITC website said that McQueen was close to signing a new deal at Saints (just before he did) - they also mentioned in the same article that Targett had faced a big setback in his injury comeback. Looks like they were spot-on with that one too.

@Mattytargett: Operation went well! Now on the road to recovery!! I will be back stronger ?

They are going to spend big time in January.

Adam Blackmore said something interesting in the pre-match build up on Solent prior to the HBS match. He said he saw Jorge Mendes (agent of Fonte) heading into Staplewood to speak with Les Reed. This was just before Fonte spouted off on Social Media about not getting the contract.
