3 at the back again, I do wonder if we need to show less attacking ambition and focus on clean sheets, after what happened at Bristol - a solid back 4 with 2 cdms rather than so much width, yes it gives us a lot of attacking choice, but it leaves us too open, and we're not performing well enough to take so many risks.  I guess still is feeling the pressure and can't afford to be cautious.

And we still have Aribo, Edozie and Matsuki sitting around doing nothing. Not the best names ever, but Aribo was important in the last promotion season, Edozie was alright two years ago before he got clattered and is good enough for today, while Matsuki hasn't been seen since scoring a lovely goal at Norwich.

All three good enough to play against the 23rd placed team in the Championship to give us another option and a bit more going forward, rather than persisting with the tactic that has given us two flukey wins in 11 games.

What's happened to Matsuki? Last time we saw him, he came on as sub and scored a worldie....ah, that could be it!

I assume they travelled up yesterday? No chance they'd have taken both up today if they both had an illness still.

Basically, Saints is run by clueless cunts.

It's amateur hour hiding behind a laptop.

Solak, you fat cunt. Fuck off.

I'd like your last line to become a song at games

Looks like some mad 5-1-4 formation,  midfield to be overrun as usual 

Azaz is playing Jander's position. Same formation as last few games. Welly a bit crook so not starting. Mads in for Jelert because of his muscular injury. Quashie back in now he's fit, ahead of THB.

I did a tour when on holiday in Egypt a few years ago. As is normal, I had a dodgy tummy as did several other members of the tour.

Needless to say, after the three hour bus ride, the small toilet was a no go area. Bet the bus trip up to Blackburn had a few windows open 😂

I think it's the only way to put pressure on them.

I feel a bit sorry for him. But, ultimately Rasmus can claim absence, Kraft is a non-entity, Spors doesn't care...

 

Solak needs to get a grip and take control of his investment from these shysters.

You had a bus with a toilet in Egypt!? Fucking luxurious or what.

You don't think he has more concerning things to worry about; like wrestling back control of the conglomerate that finances everything...

If he has no focus on Saints then that's another reason for him to fuck off.

Hole in the floor?

With every visit, the hole got ever so slightly smaller

Azaz doesn't run or tackle so that won't work

So Bragg and Oyekunle make the bench, but Aribo and Edozie are both still completely frozen out.

I can only assume Welington still isn't totally fit otherwise it's nuts to put Manning back in ahead of him.

3 at the back again, against one of the worst teams we will play this season 🤦

No disrespect to Charles who has been excellent, but on his own in CM? Really? 🤨

What even is that formation? 5-1-3-1? 3-3-2-2? I've genuinely no idea.

I really want to like Still and give him more time, but he's really not doing himself any favours with this constant tossed salad approach to team selection. 

Could Edozie and Aribo be a money thing? Or is it because they both want out?

Fuck me, absolute amateur hour. 
 

Bragg is only there as they had no one else and he was up there for the Leicester u21 game. 

Seems a bit fucking amateur.

Will still placing Azaz (and Fellows) in a position where the ball is fed in our own defensive 3rd is a tragic watch

I hope it does not work out like this for the game

Amazed that Aribo is frozen out. He was decent in this league and pretty good at keeping the ball

Yep. Today he'd offer something up top, in the middle, or off the bench.

No way they’d take a coach that far north. We probably flew to East Midlands when we played Derby a couple of weeks back, knowing us.

How the fuck have we not scored there?

Archer has to score pathetic 

 

Just now, AlexLaw76 said:

LOL.

How was that not a goal

It never even got to him lads. Keeper grabbed it in front of him. 

Armstrong should have pulled back to Scienza instead, though.

That team, and that bench, and your focus is Archer? 

That XI is a shit show. Aribo shouldn't be frozen out. Archer shouldn't be the scapegoat. 

Bizzare how people keep defending archer. Should be 1-0 already
