Gonna predict an attacking minded 4-1-2-3 . KWP back in; Fraser and Dibling preferred to BBD and AA COYS

second string did orite... I'd take a win any day and I'm sure it will lift the squad's spirit for Saturday. TBH, Fernandes and Bree my picks... COYS

captain fantastic 👏

8/10 For a newly promoted team without petro dollar backing, have to be impressed by the first team squad we've built with plenty of investment in the women and academy teams as well as the stadium / day match experience. 👍 Argument could be made for missing a leading CF (Archer has real potential and we still have Ross to bed in ) and a bit of a bloated first team squad (at least until the Turkey transfer window closes). From the media snippets I've seen, the mood at the club feels vibrant and engaged whilst us fans seem pretty happy for now. Just need some results on the pitch, starting this afternoon. COYS

funniest and best game ... COYS

get in

I assume having lost Stu 😞 and maybe not being able to get Brooks back, we needed someone with a bit of creativity as well as PL experience on the right flank / attacking mid. Lallana wouldn't have been my first choice but why not. One year contract with a probable pathway to the coaching setup for one of our most decorated academy players doesn't seem too leftfield a choice by the management team. RM is no fool and likely recognises the need for a few older heads to support him next season. The guy seems genuinely invested in the club and probably sees the opportunity to redeem himself for his less than elegant exit. Help us stay up and as Master Sergeant Farell said: Battle is the Great Redeemer.

what a season... what a club... COYS

Very strange not to be up in arms about something or stressed out because a 2 goal deficit. Rather comfortable ... I'd expect us to score a couple more, ring out the changes by the 60th mins Lovely... 🙂

Always believing... Aribo Joe...

don't understand our game plan.. don't understand our selection, don't understand our subs, don't understand the commentators, don't understand much no more

Maybe not at our absolute best but not far off. Got to appreciate the effort of the team, a couple of great goals and a fantastic save. This team is honest, hard working and, it seems, getting smarter. Special mention to Stu... has been for many years and remains a class act. Great start to the weekend...COYS

Gonna go for three nil saints... Think after Tuesday's spanking, the boys will want to show their true class. Actually, sod it... four nil - hat-trick Shea Charles...

Depressed at half time... buzzing at full time... That... was... fun... 🙂

STUEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY 😀

Mara is not a winger - don't understand why they keep playing him out wide. AA and Fraser out wide, Mara as a 9 and straight away we look more balanced.

Not a great half by the Saints, Watford should be 2 or 3 nil up. Charly, Mara, Charles, Skip, Rothwell, Holgate all clearly lacking game time and rusty as hell. The Academy boys aren't doing too bad. I actually don't mind us playing our second string, they obviously need the outing and today is the right day. Our focus is the league, cup run (if any) is a bonus.

21 unbeaten, congrats to all players, staff and management... "What an Achievement !!". Brilliant first half but nervous, wasteful and lucky in a poor second half. RM should not and will not be happy with that. Still, a weekend and landmark to celebrate. COYS

A little tarnished by the goal we conceded but otherwise dominant and a great watch. We usually end strongly so could be a cricket score. If we're cruising, would be nice to throw in the academy boys and the new signing. COYS

Put a bit of pressure on our defence and we crumble at the first occasion. Not much Baz could do Now for a little brace from Charly ...would end a good week for him

Get Big Mac on... outrageous stats from Baz

not pretty but points are the only things we need til next April COYS
