Baird of the land

Seems the sort of player we spent double the amount you’d pay in the summer. he’s got pace but that’s about all that has impressed me about him. Impressed me more than edozie but that isn’t saying much. mainly i’m Just annoyed we didn’t recall our own very pacey player from his impressive loan spell rather than overspend on sulemana.

When tella scored his previous hatrick I idly wondered if he might end up scoring more than the entire saints squad. Currently it’s 17 to 20, so he’s still got work to do but unlike saints he’s more likely to score per game. hope if any of the existing personnel were involved in the decisions in any way to loan him out and not recall him, that they are removed from the club in the summer.

It's almost a skill to be able to hit any target but the massive target man you've brought on.

22M on Sulemana, plus 6 on Orsic rather than recalling Tella always seemed mad to me but now looks utterly bonkers. Going to be very annoying watching him play in prem for Burnley next year. We are utterly bereft of threat in forward areas. For all our dominance in the 2nd half we made Raya make 1 save the KWP cross and Adams shot. There's no way we can stay up with a philosphy of falling over around the box and hoping JWp can score a FK

Because Saints will never be able to hit an accurate cross

You wouldn't think it would be hard to aim crosses at a giant but our players are unwilling or incapable of hitting that target

Our crossing is pathetic

That's a red card

Get a second striker on. Peronally for me it should be Onachu. We're pumping crosses into the box, why not try and do so to a 7 foot giant.

Don't really get how those subs help saints get a goal, let alone 2

Why are we swinging deep crosses into to Moi, rather than putting Onachu on?

Get Onachu on for moi please and go for it. Game is just bypassing him

Despite better start, Still not sure why moi is on the pitch

I think we need to get Mara or Onachu on alongside adams, we just look neat and tidy buit completely devoid of any threat

Why was KWp marking Toney

Not a huge fan of Moi in a wide role due to his severe lack of pace. See Caballero is back on the bench, Has mccarthy broken down again?

Personally i was just relieved it wasn't given as a penalty. There was contact with Bazanu and for me if ref had of given it VAR wouldn't have overturned it.

Yeah at least if he accepted the over the top challenge i'd have more acceptance of him claiming a penalty for the rashford(throw his leg at Bazanu) appeal. But the whole he's never been sent off in europe ergo he's innocent logic beggars belief.

Good performance but feels like a big missed opportunity against 10 men. Our lack of finishing (outside of JWP free kicks) is a massive achilles heel.

Really don't understand against 10 men why we wouldn't want to utillise an aerial threat.

Why are we bringing on those 2 rather than Onachu?

Good first half. Frustrating that we haven't taken the opportunities we've had (Sulemana not cutting the ball back, walcott header etc), though we've had our moments where we've relied on bazanu or united to muck up Really hate some of these united players. Fernandes trying to get a penalty after KWP won the ball twice. Amazed Shaw didn't get booked for that nasty assuault on Walcott afterwards. Would like to see tall paul on soon.

Not saying i've trenedous faith in AMN but he's been pretty decent at FB last few games. Personally think Perraud's very limited. His recent form has been atrocious too. Hopefully being dropped will result in a good reaction from Perraud.

Is AMN injured? Can't say i've much confidence in a defence featuring Bazanu, Bednarek and Perraud

If we somehow stay up hopefully we could keep him and offer him assurances. If we go down i can't see a situation other than us selling him to a prem club(most likely Burnley). We may have him under contract but keeping a very unhappy player isn't always a wise move.
