Add a few £million to Fernandes price tag. Good pass from Archer.

Yesss! Some composure at last.

Fernsndes campy be allowed to leave, simple as that

Doesn't sound at all simple when you put it like that.

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Wonder what he threw at them in the dressing room.

[S-Clarke]

Cracking finish that.  His touch and composure was top class. Great run and intelligence too.

 

[bangkoksaint]

That’s him gone 🙄

[Saint NL]

Nice hold up play from Downs, good run from Archer and a lovely finish from Fernandes.

They can do it, just not very often

[Suhari]

Post!?

[Maggie May]

We’re going to miss Fernandes so much.

[saintant]

THB smacks the post. This is better.

God, that was dire.

We just aren’t the same team without Bazunu and Stephens! 😃😂

I'm off to do some Pokemon this is not entertainment and that's looking at text commentary. I'll settle for finishing above Pompey top 2 is not realistic. At this rate if will Jan before we get going.

[Saint NL]

Archer has done more in the last 4 mins than he did in the first half

So just to be clear, our goalscoring options this season are: 

Adam Armstrong

Archer

BBD

This Downs geezer who has now missed two open goals in 60 mins of football

Ross Stewart and his amazing glass knees

Fantastic.

MLG told me we will bag a tonne of goals with that lot because they have already, in the past, scored lots in the Championship. 

 

Can't wait!

[obelisk]

Cracking shot from Sugawara. Post.

[S-Clarke]

Pushed them up much higher, moving it quicker in the final third.

This comm keeps mixing up all our players too. He's called Suguwara THB, and Fernandes Suguwara a few times already.

[Sheaf Saint]

Is there a single commentator in England that actually knows how to pronounce Sugawara's name properly?

Fernandes trying to knock a few £million off the asking price.

And then adding it back. If we sell him for less than 50mill we are stupider than a box of hair.

Must be a few discarded beard combs from last season...

Poor tackle from Runny

[die Mannyschaft]

Goal ! Market value now £31m

To be fair the commentator keeps getting them mixed up for some reason too.

[Sheaf Saint]

Edwards penalised for a fowl, but TBH I thought it looked six of one and half a dozen of the other.

[Harry_SFC]

Archer is having a good half so far

Do you get your breaking news from Sadoldgit?

[OttawaSaint]

Nice passage of play there. 

[Saint NL]

Did Fernandes get booked for being pushed over? 🤣

[obelisk]

This ref is a joke too.

[Saint NL]

What was that yellow for? Refs lost it

[macca155]

Archer got totally sandwiched there. ...... nothing.

[bangkoksaint]

I think Downs is modern day Jason Lee

Im going to give Downs the benefit of the doubt for now… but I am a bit worried 

Same, too early to write him off but signs are not great hopefully it’s just early season rustiness 

[saintant]

Still too much Russball

[obelisk]

Still waiting for the ghost of Russball to be exorcised then.

Looked like he started the handbags so it's probably fair.

[saintant]

Need some changes. Coming now.

To be fair, this is one of the few instances when Russball might work. One up against lower league opposition...pass/bore them to death for 30 mins and fluke a second goal a few minutes before the end to leave the impression it was comfortable.

Dafydd Pritchard

BBC Sport Wales at Cardiff City Stadium

 

Remember the name: Princewill Ehibhatiomhan!

 

The Southampton loanee has been Swindon's best player tonight.

 

Ehibhatiomhan almost scored a brilliant equaliser in the first half, dancing his way past three Cardiff defenders before dragging his shot wide.

 

Now the 19-year-old forward has his goal after a cool finish to halve Swindon's deficit.

 

Game on.

[Suhari]

Ohh. Three changes.

We get to take a look at Matsuki.

[Sheaf Saint]

Triple sub. Will be interesting to see what this does to the formation.

[Viking Saint]

Downes gets the captaincy as THB comes off, both of whom should have the armband ahead of JS.

[Sheaf Saint]

Archer somehow wins a corner there!

Loaning out our top scoring u21 player rather than promoting them to the first team... Very Saintsy... 

[whelk]

Well won corner by Archer there

[Baz Fl]

Can we just give BBD to West Ham? He plays with the energy of a Soccer Aid celebrity.

After he almost fell over the ball fucking shite 😂😂

[AlexLaw76]

We have by far better players, like Saturday...but, like Saturday, our patterns of play and set up are largely dreadful
