I still can't believe Solent conducted and Blackmore promoted the most negative interview about Scienza when he first signed, particularly scathing of his character. They didn't do it for any of our other signings, but the one player who's actually any good and has the character that we need 10 more of in our starting eleven.

Says more about Solent and Blackmore than anything else.

So what do you reckon? Sending off or injury?

Or both..

Blackmore didn’t do that interview in fairness.

I learned of both of these sites today and they both look very promising. Worth bookmarking:

Good interview from Scienza's view point. If only we had six or seven more with his passion and desire. I respected the bit where he said the players should go over to the fans at the end and take the booing if they have not performed. Maybe that would make them give more and put more of a shift in to make sure it doesn't keep happening.

[Willo of Whiteley]

If we start with a back four tomorrow we’ll win.

If we start with a back five that’ll get the fans against him and the team at every misplaced pass or shot.

[Barton Saint]

Please please please and in all seriousness play Bazanu up front!

Same here, but there's always someone asking for a link.

Was it on them or the guy being interviewed though? I never actually listened to it/read it but thought people on here said it seemed like the guy had an axe to grind.

needs a song

 🎶 "We love Scienza, if it's quite alright

We love Scienza, in the red and white

We love Scienza

Trust in me when I say" 🎶

Would this tune work for Leo Scienza ?

Bazuna up front please. Can’t be any worse than Archer or AA. 

[St. Ciervo]

AA in goal?

It probably would but that's just the perfect chant for Claudio (Radio) Braga (Ga Ga), anything else would just seem a cheap imitation really.

Fair point, needs a Scottish accent as well.

Decent numbers coming down from Preston (by their standards)

Speaks really well. Will be gutted if he leaves before we’ve seen the best of him. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

I miss the days of when we played Preston last time (3-0 home win).

I remember going to the game saying we’ll score four at least, and we had three within the first thirty minutes.

How times have changed. 😂

Will Still and the team need to get fans back inside and quickly today.

We could do that, all the southern base Man Utd fans put on Manchester accents at the away games.

If Saints stay in the division, can easily see a promoted team taking a chance on him. IF he shows more of his promise throughout the season.

Late bloomer but seemingly stepped up every time he has moved upwards.

They're from Preston, this is like a trip to Dubai for them. Hot weather, beautiful women and expensive beer.

I have no expectations for this match and I feel like i'm still going to walk away dissapointed.

Odds on the silly prick starting with a back 5 because he just can’t play 4 at the back oh no oh no?

Given we couldn't even get this going for Sadio Mane (who fits it perfectly), i doubt we'll shoehorn Leo Scienza into it

What minute is everyone going for that Still takes off our best player?

12th minute straight after they've scored a screamer, so that we can go 6 at the back.

[macca155]

Oyekunle and Bragg missing from the U21s today so expect them to be on the bench.

However Edwards is the obvious player to move into a defensive midfield position, if we are short. He's played there before.

[AlexLaw76]

Anyone strapping themselves in for another Will Still 5/6 defender masterclass?

Not like Blackmore to be fair.  He is the ultimate club boot-licker.

Watch out for that cherry blossom poisoning Adam.

[suewhistle]

On the train today I was chatting to a US based coach. He can't understand what we bought Downs either and said there were better CFs available over there.. 

We agreed that neither of us could see any potential in him, let alone ability at the moment, as much as we'd both like him to succeed.

[AlexLaw76]

 

[coalman]

Lots of strong words in the lead up to this. The only problem is we're really good at talking about playing football and awful at actually playing it. On the basis of which I fully expect...

More kick and run with everyone defending running aimlessly towards the ball.

Then, on the off chance we have any momentum, a series of substitutions mid way through the second half that firmly put Preston on top to finish out the game in style.

Scienza coughing and sniffing during that interview, expecting him to be out of the squad for today then

Will will go for broke today, 4-2-3-1 and the tombola wheel is out
