Will Still's results against Lens last season were a 1-0 defeat at PSG (with 10 men) and a 2-1 home defeat, the winner coming 4 mins from the end. With Reims the season before that they drew 2-2 at PSG.

So from a tactical stand point he'll set us up to be difficult to beat at least. Might not be a bad thing because we're shit when we have lots of the ball. 

That's probably the most interesting thing about the fixture, tactics will be different, no idea what XI Still will go with though, you'd have thought a number of changes

Think he might revert to 3 at the back with wing backs that don't get forward for this one.

Yeah, a different type of game to all the others we've had so far this season.  Less pressure and expectation for a win.  Can we get the basics right.  Be organised.  Difficult to break down.  

That said, these games often don't tell us anything more about a season.  Complete outlier in terms of performance, players used and attitude.

He also said in the press conference there is still trauma from last season and trying to not let new players be affected by it ffs

That was a frightening comment. There were a few that made me cringe ...

Its time managers got off social media and stopped making comments

At the end of which one of our unfancied young scamps will skip down the other end, pass to one of our non-scoring forwards, and...

[Draino76]

I'm pretty sure he said 'crumple' and not 'crumble'.

I'm not sure this makes much difference,  but it's certainly something to think about.

Would probably help not playing a defence mainly made up of the players who went through that trauma then. 

[Dr Who?]

I might just avoid this one and watch the Carlisle game instead. We are going out, just hope we keep it respectable. 

[Andy Hill]

We will be lucky to get nil with our inept strikers.

0-3 Saints. Put your house on it.
