Baird of the land

Dropping Dykes would have been the brave choice but when someone has been a regular through qualifying they are unlikely to be ditched.

Very happy for Ross. However, this is a big concern. Hopefully the club have been negotiating in the background and something was be quickly signed if fingers crossed we get to play at wembley and it goes our way.

CM is his biggest headache. He's got 3 excelllent players and unless he changes his spots he'll have to pick only 2 of them. Given how well charles and Jander played i'd lean to towards it being them.

Once again the scam that is var intervenes.

I'd be tempted to play wood over stepens, given a)he's up to speed b)i expect hull with mcburnie to go aerial. may be taken out of ours hands given the THB situation.

Needs to improve massively in final third if that’s to be the case

Maybe we should make Israeli defence force peretz new nickname.

Absolutely fantastic. That was a gorgeous cross by Shea, just when I was losing hope that we’d get the goal we deserved. definitely a couple of moments there where ref didn’t want to give us a penalty. hope leo is just bruised and can make it for the final.

Assume Thb was calling him out for trying to deliberately injure leo

Awful start. Massively important to get the goal back before ht. ayling being filthy trying to injure Leo and commentators acting blind and dumb about it.

Happy with that line up. Only slight surprise is jander over downes, but downes wasn't at his best at the weekend

I'm hoping Charles starts

Let's hope having a home 2nd leg proves more beneficial to us.

2nd half was at least an improvement on woeful 1st. Charles/stewart/edozie had an impact.

Pathetic, playing as if they are asleep. Completely unable to pass to another saints player. Hopefully tea cups flying at ht and subs made.

So jelert is considered completely unplayable

Yep much rather have key players fresh and injury free at this point.

Fair point. Bit disappointing that we dropped do deep at 2-1. rotation at the weekend I’m guessing

Don’t see that at all.

As good as jander has looked in winning the ball, he’s looked a bit lost with it.

Honestly when we’ve tried playing out from the back we’ve struggled imo

Useless sky commentary team not even realising what challenge saints were appealing for a penalty for.

Went in expecting nothing. To get so close is gutting. Great performance by the players. Bree deflection was so unlucky.

Need wba, hull and Oxford wins today I guess.

So with no Flynn it's going to be a Bragg-ing rights game.
