Agree. He's not great defensively but as others have mentioned hopefully he won't have to do as much next season. I wouldn't be shocked if he scored a decent amount of goals as he can clearly strike a ball.

Imagine loaning out one of the best CBs in the league during the second half of last season...

Will Still on players leaving: “I’ve had conversations with a few people who are looking elsewhere, want to move on and want to go to that next step, which is fine. I’d rather have those conversations early on.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Bazunu, Sugawara, Quarshie, Edwards, Wellington, Downes, Charles, Fernandes/Dibling, Robinson, Armstrong, Downs. Team I'd currently pick based on THB, Bednarek, Ramsdale and one of Dibling or Fernandes leaving. Not a fan of AA but our other wide options are poor. The clear upgrade there is the keeper.

Yep, as has already been mentioned that first half was just shades of last season. Too many lethargic players out there. You can certainly see why Spors is targeting more athletic players.

Seriously lacks composure but overall he's better than Fraser and BBD that's for sure

Hopefully he changes the lot because the bench looks a lot better to me.

So many poor players out there today. BBD, Armstrong, Fraser, Smallbone, Stephens, Bree, McCarthy etc

I'd be shocked if they weren't in for Fernandes now. At least we can charge top dollar. He's on a long contract and we know Forest are flush after two big sales.

Very interesting how the club announced the Downs deal very shortly after the Stephens contract news. Obviously knew the extension wouldn't be received well..

Im sure the club will rectify it given previous comments but the lack of pace in the side is frightening.

I'd shift ABK, Bednarek, Smallbone, Aribo, Fraser and probably one of Armstrong/BBD. Also send Bazunu out on loan again too. Then obviously a couple of the better players in Fernandes, Ramsdale, Dibling and THB will likely go.

Best case scenario is we sell Dibling for a big ish fee and we don't really need to sell Fernandes. If he isn't actively pushing for a move (like KWP didn't) and no one offers us ridiculous money then I guess I could see him staying.

A manager who wants to win and is happy to adapt his plan to suit the club and players. In my mind this guy is light years ahead of Martin already.

That's a shame.

Given that Ramsdale is almost certainly off, Lumley is out of contract and Bazunu is injured. I'd imagine we will be after at least one keeper this summer.

Id deffo take Tom Cairney and Ben Mee on short term deals. Two leaders in the spine of the team that we desperately need.

If he was trying his best when Odegaard walked past him with a walking stick then he shouldn't be playing football I'm afraid.

No thanks. He was decent enough in a RM team because he can pass. But that is literally all he can do. He isn't athletic enough for a WS side.

Smallbone is an utterly pathetic footballer. Hopefully one of the first out of the door this summer.

Anyone else surprised Charlie Taylor hasn't been given more of a chance this season? He's been pretty solid today.

Stewart is just way too immobile to get up and support quickly enough.

Terrible miss

That is a stonewall penalty. Thankfully no more shitty Premier league for a year at least.

WS is going to have to implement a Pochettino style pre season to get this lot in shape.
