Scienza carring a bit of belly. Terrible pre season

He’s completely short of ideas. Been really disappointed by him so far this season

Azaz absolutely shattered after that run forward. The fitness levels are shocking

Almost like a walking pace pre season is meaning we’re not very sharp

Got slapped down and about a bit last season on this - Leo’s performance shows why there hasn’t been a long queue down Britannia Road to sign him this summer.

Larin and Scienza off.

Risky...

Cyle’s worked his arse off and Leo’s not looked interested all game tbf.

The fact that the needed second striker and Shea replacement are missing don’t give Tonda many alternatives even though I’d have dispensed with him in June.

A compromised manager can’t knock on his DoF’s door to insist on replacements. Great for the club and SR board though.

It does frustrate me a bit when fitness appears to be an issue. Results aren't always easy to obtain but any club should at least be able to guarantee the fitness of its players. We got so many results under Pochettino purely thanks to our amazing fitness - sustained across the season it's basically free points.

Someone I know at the club said Leo just had his first baby. Someone’s clearly been up at 3am most nights! 

And he hasn't got the baby weight off yet.

Is Dobbin really any better than Edozie? Such a pointless signing that we didn’t need. 

Hardly had time to settle in. How can you judge him the same as Edozie who has been here for years?

Ronald as well, won a lot of games late on and it wasn’t purely down to the good quality of our squad.

Fitness is the very basic for professional athletes. 

I remember the state of the players under Burley, Dodd and Gorman. Pearson sorted it out even late on in the season and scrambled to safety until getting lumbered with Lowe again. For me, it’s an engine management light on the dashboard as a warning at a football club. In another sport, look at England’s Ashes winter.

The end of the match is approaching, and our Saints are pushing for a second goal.

Be nice to have something to cheer about. Snatch and grab baby....
