Saints vs Watford (Sat, Feb 7th)

Robinson out of the game tomorrow. Surely that means Edozie will be back on the bench. If not our wide options will look extremely limited.

I think the awareness campaign is called "every minute counts" or something like that. 

Paul Daniels went one better than that years ago. He was quite* ahead of his time.

 

(* not a lot)

Eckert said everyone available at the presser I just watched. Where has this come from?

I originally predicted a 3-1 win to us but also just watched highlights of their 0-0 draw away to Hull - they looked quite tidy, played some good football and deserved to win so this is likely to be tougher than I thought.

Watford fan I know reckons the manager leaving might do them good and a change of formation fits better, young physical side , I can see it being a 2-2 again like our game at Vicarage Road earlier in the season

The bit I saw/heard said someone was having a scan, but I didn't catch who, presumably it was Robinson.

Clearly the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing 🙂

I think that was Roerslev.

Anyone got a summary of today’s presser?

Roerslev trying to take Stewart’s injury crown away from him.

Does anybody know roughly when the players start arriving at the stadium?

My nipper wants to go and try get an autograph or too.

For a 3pm kick off they arrived about 11am , not sure if follows same pattern for 12.30 kick off , seems an early start!

Here you go... Tonda looking pretty relaxed and happy 

 

• Yes the club did the right things in the window
• It was important to get the numbers slightly down
• We have a great number of staff, but the number of players we have does consume resource
• We can dedicate that little bit more time to individuals
• Adam Armstrong has written an unbelievable chapter for this club
• But his wish was for a change, and we needed to be opened to offers
• We found something that worked for all involved
• If you look at us in general. We have lots of qualities on the pitch but size and physicality is not really one of them
• Ross gives us that, I believe Larin will give us that
• There has been a lot of player movements in the summer, but we are happy to have James Bree back
• He has experience and we feel that already, it is helping us
• The squad is looking very strong at the moment
• THB has been excellent. He was outstanding last weekend, not many players can make that pass
• He is now growing again as a player, he is also a new father and he is maturing
• Stoke away showed that we are moving forward, I have been trying to say this for a while
• We were more solid, more certain and showed some quality at the forward end of the pitch
• I am familiar with how Watford operate having been here for a few years
• They have had game in midweek so we have seen any little changes they may have made
• They looked quite similar but with changes in the middle of the pitch
• They got a good result at Hull and played well, but we have had a whole week to prepare
• The squad are as good as they can be, only Mads is really out.
• It is always easier after a win, but we have to be on top tomorrow
