I think the point he is quite rightly making is about people in glass houses. A lot of people seem completely incapable of simply appreciating one of our own players winning PotM without needing to get a 4,692nd dig in at Middlesbrough.

Is that like the points he continually makes slagging off Tonda?

Don't forget to vote for his goal vs Millwall for August goal of the month if you haven't already.

Hate to say it, but Ballard's and Morishita's were better.

That's not how it works.

Voted.
But it should be Dom Ballard winning it.

Top scorer (not joint anymore) with 7 in 7.

such a fantastic player. So good to have a top class striker again

Yeah I voted for Cyle of course but for me the Moroshita finish was the best.

What a player, such a shame we didn’t find him before he was 31!

I’m worried that if he carries on like this a struggling premier league side might take a punt on him. 

[S-Clarke]

He's the perfect centre forward for this setup, fluid wide players and a mobile 10 - then this guy up top giving us that focal point. We look so fluid and it's built around how he holds the ball and moves the CB's around.

Kudos to the scouts and coaches for identifying exactly the profile of player we needed to compliment the rest of our squad. He wasn't the sexiest name when we got him, but he is everything we needed.

Top scorer in the championship, £30million please. No-one will pay what it would take for us to consider it given his age. More likely to go for Lankshear.

The combination of the sort of fee we'd ask for and the fact he turns 32 before the season ends makes me not worry about this too much (at the moment at least!)

We don't need to sell in Jan, and the Prem prize is huge. I'll be worried in the Summer if we don't go up.

Thought he made an interesting comment in the post-match interview about how he feels that the way the club has treated his family and taken care of things off the pitch has a lot to do with how he feels about his football right now and why he's in such good form

Is this the best form you've ever been in during your career?
Yeah, it's one of the best and I think it has to do with the team of players around me and the staff, they make me feel at home. Just off the pitch, the club has looked after me and my family so well. I think that is the most important thing for me because it means I am just able to perform and show exactly who I am on the pitch.

He’s been better than we could ever have hoped. Proper centre forward who as others have said is ideal for how we play. Yes a lot of people were underwhelmed when we signed him as there was nothing really to suggest he was going to be anything more than a squad player but he’s been superb. Just got to hope he stays fit as he is so important to how we play 

[Whitey Grandad]

He's a beast.

[saintwbu]

I liked him from his first touch scoring against Watford - but I definitely had him down as just a good physical fit for us, to allow other players to play off him. He has got so much more to his game than I ever realised, he constantly does things that I didn’t know he could do.

I think it's fair enough given he hadn't shown this form previously and up until signing him we had a crap record if signing strikers. Absolute fair play to the club though unearthing a diamond.

[suewhistle]

I wonder what the Feyenoord fans think now?

[Scoobysaint]

I think Saints need to give Larin penalties from now on. He’s never gonna miss. 
Nothing to do with the tenner I’ve got him at 25-1 to be Championship top scorer! 

[East Kent Saint]

He definitely looked good yesterday ,  having a go at his persistent fouler was good , where's the Ref these days when players are constantly fouled ?

[West end Saints]

Sad I know, but I looked back at the first 7 games for the best seasons for a goal score over recent years.

26/27 Larin 7 total ?

23/24 Armstrong 6 total 24

19/20 Ings 2 total 22

11/12 Lambert 6 total 27

02/03 Beattie 0 total 23

Potentially the best start ever for a Saints forward?

One every other game, from now to the end of the season, would get him to Lambert's championship total.

But happy for him to stick with one per game and hit 46
