We'll get twatted if they take it seriously, unless the PL team is Sheffield United or Burnley.

An unconvincing 4-0 win but Lumley and Meghoma looked very capable and Fraser was class. Front three of Fraser, Adams, Armstrong for next weekend please.

They also had the ball in the net which was wrongfully flagged for an offside.

Yeah, but so did all their other players.

This is crap. Stephens shouldn't be at right back. Manning is shite. Should have started with Alcaraz and Adams today. Sort it out, Russ.

I'd be tempted to start him up top in a match soon to surprise the oppo, inshallah. Perhaps a tricky away match.

Trigger happy lino.

Seems like Russ takes my advice (apart from the KWP rest).

I agree. If Fraser is getting goals and assists off the bench for the last 30 mins and Edozie is getting them for the first 60 then no need to change. Fraser isn't going to start getting 4 goals and two assists every match if he starts and Edozie isn't going to get too fatigued. Output is currently great the way it is.

I'd be tempted to make a few changes with the long away trip a few days later and, at least on paper, being a more challenging fixture. KWP must have played virtually every minute so far? Also, Downes seems to be struggling a little for full fitness and Stuey has been running all over the place. Probably best not to start Stephens again soon after an injury. I'd go something like: -----------Bazzer---------- Holgate--THB--Bedz---Manning ----------Smallbone--------- ---Charles---------Alcaraz---- Adam Arm---Adams---Edozie Aiming to give Adam Arm and Edozie a good subbing around the 55 or 60 mins.

Stephens RB, KWP LB and Manning in midfield? Either way, it seems a bit weird to be farting around when we've got the likes of Alcaraz and Smallbone on the bench.

I think they will just sack him and leave it at that.

Bonjour. Ben's brother, Richard, is a legend amongst Saints fans.

Smack heeed?

That's Jimmy Bullard isn't it?

Pah, Dell sized! Better to spend all of that on one £90m player. Proper statement of intent.

They are not playing with a high line, they are sitting everyone deep. Smart analysis.

4-0 defeat

I don't think we've found the right forward balance yet. Hopefully at some point, we will, and we'll start scoring more than one goal a game regularly. We need to find a way to have someone in addition to Arma scoring regularly. I feel like we need to accommodate Alcaraz but running from deeper, not as a withdrawn forward. Obviously it would be good to see what Stewart brings at some point.... Could we set the up more like this perhaps: ------Downes----Charles/Smallbone ---------------Alcaraz------------ Edozie/Stuart Arm-----------Adam Arm -------------Adams/Stewart------- We have great options off the bench with the depth of our squad but we need to get those players capable of hitting double figures onto the pitch as often as possible.

Genius.

Newport?

Ross PooFart, more like.

No surrender to the IRA. Scum!

Couldn't watch the game, just saw the highlights. Seems like they had 3 or 4 clear cut chances and we had none. Fortunate not to lose?
