I think we probably won’t find out if BBD can be that central number 9 until we play with 4 at the back. Perhaps we’ll do that at home to Forest?

Can’t be putting those two in the same bracket. Guly was class in league one and the Championship.

I’d argue that Bednarek is as important if not more so that THB at the moment, but your point still stands.

Echo now reporting that Mara to Strasbourg is expected to happen. Good news.

If Fraser comes back I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start at LWB in some games, as he did in the Play off final. Would leave room for BBD and Armstrong.

Where’s that come from?

If we’d submitted our biggest offer earlier, Celtic would have known others were interested so would have been in no rush to sell to the first bidder. Brighton also would’ve still just outbid us.

He hasn’t gone anywhere has he?

Well yeah, I don’t think anyone would argue with that, would they? There’s literally no one who thinks that people should be changed to Mx against their will. That’s not the only point you were making in your opening post though is it? You said ‘it’s Mr Mrs and Miss only’ which isn’t true. You choose what you want and let anyone else choose what they want, and no one needs to worry about if others choose Mx or not. Also, as Ant said above it’s literally a mistake on the part of the ticket purchaser 😂

Who cares? Literally makes no difference to anyone.

One of the coaching staff (Martin?) called their player a ‘fucking dirty bastard’ when he committed a foul 😂

Pass was from Edwards. Identical technique to those Harwood Bellis chips to Fraser last season.

Yeah it’s great. Enjoyed him telling the ref to fuck off. Pretty sure he or another coach also said ‘fuck off, pass the ball’ to Sulemana too. Don’t think he’ll be here next season.

Would be great but I’d imagine his wage demands would be well beyond us.

Full highlights on the Saints app.

True, but we could always play him on the left and Sugawara on the right if they’re our best 2 full backs.

Looks to have a lot of quality going forward. Only reservation defensively is that he seems to go to ground a lot. Could get caught out by better players if he doesn’t stay on his feet (like when he nearly took Edozie out at SMS last preseason).

😂 What a sad little life!

AFCON man of the match, I think.

Agree that Millwall away is not an issue in itself, but wonder if they realised that Pompey are playing Charlton at The Valley on the same day…

Yes and he went on to be one of our best players at running around after the ball! 😅 But yeah, good point…

19 goals and 18 assists from midfield is impressive, SPL or not.

I can think of one player we have who’s very Lallana-like!

Brentford play a completely different style of football to us so it’s not really that useful comparing how he played for them. They play quick counter attacking football. Perhaps he’s a good technical player more suited to possession?
