Just a minor thing but shouldn’t we be keeping Che until a/the new striker(s) sign on the dotted line?

Leicester City and Denmark defender Jannik Vestergaard, 30, has rejected a move to Fulham. (Football Insider) Fulham dodging a bullet there 😄

Not just that but the total reluctance of Ralph to even put him on the pitch most of the time, even when games had gone. Now he's getting in first. Just another one of Ralph's many many contradictory decisions.

I don’t think he’s a great goal scorer but there’s a lot more to his game, he’s the only striker who can hold the ball up and he is capable of some great finished. In a nutshell he’s the best striker we have, by a long way, so they better have something petty special up their sleeves cos if he goes we are still two strikers lite.

they will if we lose to Leeds next week.

Three of the four outfield players I never wanted to see in a Saints shirt again after last season made it onto the pitch today - Valery, Stephens and Redmond. The other one is injured. Depressing.

Hang on, hang on….dudnt he say mid week he likes the 5 subs cos you can change up both strikers? Fkin idiot makes it up as he goes

Depends what you are judging it on? If judging on the last 12 games of last season them no, we aren’t. There’s pressure on the young new signings to hit the ground running otherwise we are back to the dross of last season, and with them, we ain’t brilliant.

Not just pundits to be fair, the last time I was this pessimistic about a season was under that Portaloo Dutch bloke.

Wasn’t gonna bother this season but I’m getting that. That will outsell that blue wavey away kit by a mile.

Match Of The Day are gonna be gutted, every highlights package showed the taking of the knee at the start of every single game. Might have to show a few more seconds football instead now !

no, just before the first and last games of the seasons and special occasions......whatever that constitutes ?

With the exception of Romeu summer 2023 will be a time of celebration getting rid of this lot of no hopers.

Yeah exactly, it’s not the bloody Eurovision Song Contest ffs

Striker and full back cover. Unless we can shift one or two to bring extra funds in I’m relatively happy with what we’ve bought in. It’s largely down to Ralph playing them in their best positions and a system that works after that.

Has Mara been involved very much?

I would think barring any mishaps that will be the lineup next Saturday.

Yes I agree, he’s not due back until January

Suggestion? Target? Coming in on loan?

That’s us out of the running then 😂

Has Lord Duckhunter not found this thread yet ? 🤣

Aah, but as you would be quick to point out if it was someone else, it doesn’t mean a transfer isn’t on the cards either !!

That Chelsea mauling at home really destroyed us, Ralph dropped the pressing game and went for this turgid shit straight after and hasn’t looked back….or forward since.

Have they signed anyone who wasn’t in the Championship last season?

I haven’t got a clue what Ralph is talking about here. Absolute bollocks.
