Whereas the right back was jogging back like he was on a leisurely stroll in the park.

Shocking performance. Big changes needed. Bazunu is going the same way as Forster did in 2017 when everything hit towards goal goes in, not helped by the dross in front of him.

Eddie Howe is probably subsidising his wages personally just to get rid of him - once you fall out with him, you are dead.

There is a limit I think of 5 loans in any match day squad, so there's still a bit of wiggle room for temporary reinforcements to come in (should a striker be identified in the Premier League I guess).

Maybe a straight £12m bid for Nathan Wood will be incoming to Swansea, given Stephens' injury, and the perception at Swansea that Saints are even more flushed with cash after Tella's sale.

The event was a competition run by JD Sports. 101 people apparently got fortunate. Not sure why Che didn't show, but the four of them did engage with the young fans and everyone went home happy.

Currently in the queue with 99 others to meet and greet AMN, KWP, Lavia and S Mara in JD Sports in town. A low key event, all prescreened questions and Kenzie Benali thinking we are playing tomorrow instead of Sunday. Oh dear. Che Adams was advertised but Mara appeared in his place. Curiously Lavia is wearing a Mara shirt! Lots of excited kids here waiting to meet the players, which is good to see.

The only thing I remember from that game is Sulemana being clearly overlooked by quite a few of the players when they saw whom it was. Seems there is a clear divide within that squad. Probably LLLLL based on that for the forthcoming games.

Sports bible reporting KWPs brutal tackle on Garnacho has left the lad on crutches and out for weeks...

Not even a Thank You or best luck in your future endeavours from the Club in its official statement. That's gratitude for you.

I wish the club would announce something. I'm having to watch sky sports news on mute because that awful Sue Smith is on, so restricted to keeping a close eye on the scrolling news ribbon at the base of the screen.

I reckon Elyounoussi might start.

Che Adams hitting goalkeeper. Check.

JMN looking lost.

Maybe Salisu is at LB of a back 4.... or I guess they could switch it to that during the game.

I quite enjoyed its little stepover when Saints were on the attack midway through the half, before it switched from playing wide left to centre forward.

Shambles at the back and shambles up top, with the central midfield missing in action.

potter has a 5 year deal.... he won't care if he gets sacked.

Ah - the one on now seems to be a different to the voice heard earlier. I think I am on the same page as you now.

Stream has got that awful female commentator..... ugh!

Anyone know what was on fire behind the Kingsland/Northam during the first half? It went up rather nicely, whatever it was.

Tuesday's cup team should give a clear clue where the gaps are, i doubt most of the so-called first XI will start unless necessary, with two big home games in the league coming up i4 days of one another.

Would have thrown Romeu on with Lyanco....

Rodgers and Ralph swap deal before the window closes? Reckon both are in the same boat....

They have to get the new TV screens installed yet....
