Didn’t Martin see him as a stand in CB as much as anything ?

Really impressive angle showing the goal. Thanks for posting that.

Seems late goals have caught on among SR clubs then.

Wasn’t Brighton away in the L1 promotion year a very late show as well ? Can’t recall the times of goals though, equaliser might not have been after 90 minutes though.

But … we need a GK this season, now. Not another to add to the investment portfolio for 3 or 4 years time.

Tapping up his brother to join us

Especially central defenders who carry poisoned umbrellas onto the pitch.

Comments re Saints fans nr away support yesterday, was it seems despite the best efforts of this bloke:

Wrexham forum commented that little response from Saints fans either side of the away section. Perhaps to be expected, aren’t they next to the Family Stand etc in that corner ? Not on that side of the ground myself but interested to hear comments from anyone who is. How does this bode for the skates match ?

We questioned his attempt at the penalty at the time, . The odds are always stacked in favour of the penalty taker but he seemed a bit slow to get down to it. Perhaps harsh. No denying his late save though, important stop. Hope he builds on it. Not convinced despite yesterday’s performance. He’s no Hannah Hampton !

Don’t see Lallana in that elevated company.

We should give him a deadline to accept. Otherwise you can see this being Gakpo Mk II

Haven’t we already got a GK matching this description. Please get one who is outstanding with his hands and keeping the ball out of the net as priority not hitting Beckenbauer or Hoddle cross field passes.

Duplicate ..

Definite improvement, credit to Still, Trollope and co. Vast improvement on last season. The improvement was demonstrated by Fraser lasting 90 minutes. Did he ever do that whilst Lego was in charge ?

Perhaps a good analogy and comparison. We want a new Ken Monkou, but perhaps we’ve got a Jon Gittens. Early days, some good and some concerning traits. Seems to have some good qualities for a CB, height strength, and pace. Concentration and use of the ball not so convincing on Day One. BUT definitely some raw materials for Still and Trollope to work on.

New season, new manager. Feels like same shit though. We’re at home for Christ sake.

Spors should have a look in the old filing cabinets to see if Les has left any of the wristwatches.

I don’t think you can read too much into that. Perhaps the expectation is that he might go - most probably will - but keeping him out of the promotion film doesn’t mean it’s a done deal.

Yes, he rates highly on the Steve Ridder Scale.

Perhaps he’s decided goalkeeping isn’t for him and preparing for a new career.

Yes serves them right, had they auctioned the dugouts on leaving Goodison they could easily have afforded Tyler, and had some spare change.

Bazunu in goal ? Chances are slim

Exactly. Recruitment has been the key issue (both managers and players) and reason for our fall.

Agree with the gist of what you say, and from the Steve De Ridder-scope (Youtube), Spertsyan looks a class above other names (which is why he's more ambitious than a Championship club). But don't agree in your comments re Fellows who although not in the Spertsyan class perhaps, also looks pretty impressive and a good prospect, not an average champ player.
