I assumed it was last nights CB???

Sky Sports reporting that Edward’s is off to Port Vale for undisclosed fee.

It’s yet to be announced but got to believe this one is in the bag. If Leicester can offer a no.1 GK to England then so can Southampton assuming our new look squad can climb the table above them and that’ll be a great day. Think SR have really looked after their EPL club handsomely - will be our record signing if the full £25m is to be believed and hopefully it keeps Baz on the bench (if indeed he ever returns to EPL football).

Surely Ramsdale will go straight in as no.1? Can’t see him agreeing to come here to get splinters. Got to agree with all those calling for a back 4 with Stephens on the bench. Not sure RM will be quite so brave. A midfield that includes the talents of Downes, Fernandes and Big Les will be one to behold…please make it be. The front three almost picks itself, but does present a bit of a dilemma. Do you start Dibling and go for the jugular or wait until later when defenders legs maybe tired? If RM plays a front three it will likely be BBD, Archer and AA meaning the two on the outside get isolated as we’ve seen, so I’d drop either AA or Archer to the bench (matters not who…they’re very similar) bring the strikers in more central and play Dibling across the width of the park giving him the freedom to unlock defences and supply the front two. Ramsdale Suga. THB. ABK. KWP. Downes. Big Les. Fernandes. Dibling Archer. BBD.

Maybe, but he looks as fit as a butchers dog!

Dibling is an absolute gem. Has to be first man on the team sheet. Shortly followed by Downes, Fernandes and big Les.

Funny I was just thinking this and about to post the same - him and Les.

ABK saves the day with a good interception.

FFS - these defenders

Fernandez off? WTF?!?!

ABK on!!! 😂😂😂

FFS

Great Archer goal - no way Che does that!

Russ completed his team talk in 5 minutes and has been outside chatting for a while now. Giving his assistants a chance to have a go? Bit of Ted Lasso going on? 😂

Ipswich drawing 1-1 with AFC Wimbledon 😂

Have to say Lumley looking as good as McCarthy if not a bit more composed and better distribution.

71.6% possession. Attacking third 78%. Better.

Sure, but you can only play what’s in front of you and fuck it, we’ve scored goals. I’ll take it.

Lesley is a monster of a DFM - I so wish we had him on a loan to perm.

Tell you what - I hope RM rewards these lads with EPL starting minutes because they bloody well deserve it.

Beautiful team goal!

A worthy equaliser. 😳

These young lads are playing like they want to be in the first team - certainly making a very good case of it. Only SAA looking a bit lightweight.

Sweet Mary, these lads look so good. Transformed team.

Fantastic goal!
