Getting it together a bit now,

Corner saints

Formation is wrong, Antonio isn't right for this game, too green.

Bollix Left side of the box, RB failure again.

He's giving them free ball all the time,with just Lambert in front Antonio needs to step up to the plate because if not everything we're doing in midfield is wasted.

Get a grip Antonio, clean through but f*cked it up. What is the point of Morgan slinging great balls forward if we can't bury them.* Get Papa on.

Bart flapping a bit,we seem to be being pressed back

That's what he said,on the Saints Player that you're not listening to.

Heavy pitch, picked physical team to cope with the balls into our box.

Although he is required in midfield, I would see that as a sort of double teamed right back to allow James freedom to get forward and get those crosses in.

Must say I like the look of our side, I think we could get a convincing win.

solid midfield, would have preferred Papa in place of Antonio.Wasn't Mills injured? Perhaps Papa has problems with the cold, happens

Very disappointing highlights from the Exeter game as well.Well not the highlights themselves but rather the distinct lack of quantity.

I certainly hope so, how come that there is absolutely no teams news on the OS 45 minutes before kick off!!

a few posters seem to think otherwise. A dead leg is not easy to recover from in a few hours, depends how hard he got hit I suppose. It could be that we have seen the last of Lallana, probably not though.

Perhaps Hammond wasn't as important to them as you imagine. He was part of Lambert's system, may have not impressed Boothroyd to the same extent. New manager,new captain, clean slate.

Football manager eh, now there's a pastime that should go straight from the production line to the trash can.Proficiency at billiards and snooker used to be a gauge of a misspent youth, now it must be obsession with Football Manager. Except that at least you could earn a living from snooker.

Still there'll be more than enough tickets to go round.

Chesterfield- Rotherham is off

I would have thought that at least James and Lallana would have participated in the 3-0 home loss debacle against Watford last year. I don't think Pardew vs Boothroyd has any particular importance to be honest. Both will send out their best available team with a tried and tested game plan.

Not ones Pardew trusts in centre -mid.We have a lot of players but very few of them are in the picture.Just like strikers in theory we have 4 or 5,but only Connolly,Lambert and Papa are of any interest as starters.Big effective,small first team squad.It's gonna get pruned. 6 out, 2 or 3 in would be my prediction.

And so they were, is not 3-1 good enough for most people? Today will be different,we'll get cards but there'll be no quarter in the second half, unless of course we're 3-0 up by then--which we probably won't be. I think far too little is being made of today's effect on Saturday's game. I said we'd ease up and so we did,no-one important got carded and they're all in the mix for today (except maybe Lallana).We got a result and everybody is there again today, what more can you ask.

I'm not sure that AP has all that much time for him. This will be a hard nervy game.I think we'll start out with a defensive formation.

Not many virgins in Colchester though;They had their annual meeting a while back, but it rained and they held it in a telephone box.

Concord of circumstances because Morgan was out James moved forward into midfield,thus not being available to play at RB.
