That feels very likely...it's hard to see a sensible football reason, unless it's felt that he doesn't suit a back 4 in Selles system.

It's always been obvious that former forum members reappear under a new login, sometimes one that's years old but never/rarely been used. MLG, for example, ain't stopped posting, ditto others. Someone posted this on another thread earlier: "You also have the case of long standing users sending private messages asking to purchase account login details.... sad and desperate stuff really. You'd think it would also be very obvious when an account's posting style suddenly changes...." Seems bizarre to me. Has anyone been approached to sell log in details? Who's now using a different log in? Who were you before? WHo do we think people were previously?

Yep. We were told that he needed to focus on just defending. He did that and looked brilliant. He then got dumped from the match day 20. Very odd.

Yep, that's random af. I'm intrigued to know who (if anyone) is/has been doing that.

I have no idea wtf that is about mate.

I'm not sure what they expect...give an award to a less deserving person just because he/she is black? Slippery slope if that's the expectation.

Many of these sleeper/alternative logins have been around for years. Then you notice certain prominent posters fade away and the sleeper/alternative login suddenly getting prominent. That account has had 2000 ish posts in over 16 years, then boom, loads and loads.

I think it'll be that, but possibly with AMN ahead of KWP or even on the left in place of Ely with S Armstrong staying on the right.

I think you're confusing me mate. If you're referring to the Chelsea game, I watched it. Anyways, happy to ignore you, please pay me the same respect. This new login of yours is in danger of becoming as tedious as your previous one by the way.

Says the bloke who posts about Ely over and over and over.

That lasted well. You've made your point about a million times now mate.

Life

I have a great memory of yesterday's game. I watched us keep a clean sheet away at Chelsea with Bednarek marshalling a back 4 to a clean sheet. But yeah, let's bang on about other games this season where we've been managed by Jones, and Bednarek has been partnered by Salisu who's been woeful, or he's had to play in a badly coached back 3/5.

It really isn't. He looked solid alongside ABK. Less so with Salisu who hasn't been in good form but for whatever reason he seems beyond criticism.

Dropping a CB after he helped us keep a clean sheet just in case he might make a mistake is an unusual approach. I wouldn't touch the spine of our team unless there's an injury.

Yep. I liked Paul. Moved across the front line, dropped off when needed, won the ball, held it up, even won it deep at one point and switched play with a lovely long ball. Like you said, he was slow to release it at times but he's a better footballer than I thought he would be, and with some time training and playing together, I think he and Sulemena could be a cracking partnership.

I can't figure out who he's posting as though. I did think TDMickey but not sure now.

There were no bizarre selections or subs. DCC isn't being involved for reasons we don't know. Salisu was injured. It was Lyanco or Bednarek and even the biggest Bednarek opponent would agree he's a better CB than Lyanco. Bednarek was superb. KWP is coming back from injury. Clearly not ready. It was Bree or AMN at right back. He made the right call - AMN had a good game. Moi. I get irritated by people who say he's shit. Moi helps us keep shape as he doesn't need others to get drawn out of position to help him, thus leaving gaps elsewhere. He doesn't need others to cover as he's out of position. He doesn't need others to cover while he jogs back. We'd have got annihilated down our left yesterday if Edozie or Aribo were the instead. Absolutely the right call. The subs. The strikers and Armstrong were knackered. The press had gone. We had no pace left on the counter. The front two had to change. AMN was being left 2 vs 1 so we needed protection and more of a threat down the right, and without changing our shape. Walcott did well - far more disciplined than Edozie, Aribo, Djenepo would have been - and put in probably the best cross from a Saints player this season for A Armstrong to nearly score. The later subs were equally correct. He got it spot in yesterday.

At last some sense. Moi played a big part in that win. He stopped us getting overrun down our left, and as he can defend, he helps us keep our shape. AMN switched off a few times, but was brilliant otherwise. Great bit of play to play in Walcott for his (superb) cross for A Armstrong's chance.

It's very odd. Orsic too. Both our Croatians. Frozen out or not considered good enough for a 20 man squad? If there was only room for one CB on the bench yesterday I can only think that Selles preferred Lyanco as he offers a bit more versatility.

Thanks for that - good to hear he's doing well. How did Ryan Finnigan get on for Crewe?

Ah ok, didn't realise we got one too. Cheers 👍

It's all it could be, but I dunno who.
