I wouldn't call two wins from three games with a +5 goal difference inconsistent.

The performances have been.

Imagine the wins and goal difference when we find some consistency 🙂

[CSA96]

Consistently winning two out of every three games sounds pretty good!

Fair enough. 

Did you watch the Watford and West Ham games?

Watched the Watford game and thought the defeat was due to Tonda making a rare error of judgement by playing Leo centrally and Dobbin out wide. Even then we still did enough to deserve at least a point.

Saw bits of West Ham but not concerned as we were never going to win the Carabou Cup and it wasn't our first team.

[Willo of Whiteley]

1-1 draw tonight - everyone with half an eye on the transfer window, although hopefully not those on the pitch.

Ok and how does our form in a couple of months help us tonight? 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Brum have won one game less than us. We should be able to win this one if Tonda gets the starting selection right and we don’t piss around with the crab football.

OK, just to confirm this season we are in a pattern of win one, lose one, win one, lose one, win one...

Lets see how we do tonight,  up the Saints 👍

[Saint Garrett]

We'll follow up Saturday with another top performance. 

Peretz

Bree Wood Schlotterbeck Manning

JWP Bragg

Matsuki Azaz Scienza

Larin

No reason to change anything unless theyre knackered?

Is Downes definitely out? I’d 100% have him in there ahead of Bragg unless it’s enforced.
 

Will be interesting to see if Tonda thinks Larin can start 3 games in a week, or if it’ll be Mubama for an hour tonight then Larin later, and Larin starting again on Saturday. He was great at rotating them last year but not sure how effective Mubama is going to be leading the line 

[Toussaint]

3-1 win tonight.

Agreed, 
No don't think he's definitely out, but I'd be surprised if he plays. Also agree on Mubama/Larin. 

I can see Larin getting burnout this season if our only options are him and Mubama...

[Jack]

I guess Mubama played a lot of games for Stoke last season and was decent initially. We should be able to create more chances for him than Stoke would’ve done, we’ll just have to play a different game to suit him

Absolutely. Which is why we should hopefully be ensuring we get another body in today who can play upfront, especially if Archer leaves. Preferably one who can hold the ball up and allow Larin to rest.

All eyes on the boxes for surprise players... 😁

Brum unbeaten so far, bit of a mixed bag of results. Tricky away game but play like we did on Saturday and we will do well. 

I wonder if Downes can play, or it'll be JWP and Bragg. 

[Thripp87]

That bench just proves we need a lot more in the forward areas.

[Colinjb]

Faith in youth on the bench.

[Matthew Le God]

It is a shame we don't get to hear Dave Merrington pronounce Princewell Ehibhatiomhan tonight.

[Saint NL]

Agree, we need more options up front.

Happy to see Downes is back.

[Suhari]

Surprised to see such a strong team: excellent.

Nice to see YBL (young, big lad) on the bench. I'm not even trying to type his name..... I'd dislocate something.

[saintant]

The Prince of Darkness is set to be unleashed from the bench.

[sfc4prem]

For an online segment of our fanbase that bemoans our loss of academy produced brilliance, the level of moaning about a young bench or lack of experience in signing Nottingham's centre back is ridiculous levels of cognitive dissonance.

Injuries like his tend to clear up after the transfer windows close. Relax.

How they've got that on his shirt I don't know. Hopefully he's known as just as Prince

Call me Dr Cynical.

[Saint Pete]

Downes fit and starting, that's good. 

[macca155]

About time we saw young Ehibhatiomhan on the bench. He's been banging them in for the U21s. I also think Akachukwa deserves decent minutes as well.

Good move from Tonda. If we do make it to the PL, some of these youngsters will need to be in the core of the team. Journey starts now to coin a phrase.

JWP not starting is a surprise, I guess it's softly softly to start with
