0-5 now. Brighton barely out of 2nd gear..

I guess today is the last day before Villa can cancel the order - and they have the international window to drive him back to Southampton, and Saints to issue a refund. Back for Pompey. Win win.

I think this chap may be imprinted on his reputation....

Predicting Leicester 1 Plymouth 1 FT

Watch out, Beadle's about....

2-1 up in the headband war.

Fellows needs to adjust his compass and start running and passing in the forward-facing direction.

should be 3-0 down already.

Seems Sheff Utd are selling Callum O'Hare to Wrexham... another asset sold to raise some readies.

SSN report Fulham in for David Affengruber... Saints used to flush out the interest from elsewhere

Cam Bragg was definitely the weak link in the 1st half. He and some of the team knew it I think and some were talking to him in the latter stages of it. Had his head not taken Downes out of the game, I suspect he himself have been hooked for JWP at half time, but as it panned out, he improved vastly in the 2nd 45.

Maybe Fellows in / Matsuki out for rotational purposes, and JWP in for Downes, otherwise keep it as is.

Jack Stephens returns as captain to help marshal the team to close out a 5-1 win. Couldn't have done it without him. ...and Daniel Peretz of course.

In theory those on the bench yesterday would probably start on Tuesday. Not sure where Romeo Akachukwu would fit in? Doubt they'd risk him in central midfield next to Bragg but might not have a choice if they don't want to risk Jander at all.

Peretz pulled off a great stop. I don't think either he or the Stoke players were aware it was offside at the time - excellent reactions from the Saints No.1.
