ITV really pushing the narrative that Tonda got away with spygate

Not at all, I wanted to see him 3 or 4 games ago when we signed him and he was apparently quite the coup and an expected THB replacement. Choosing between Wood and Stephens is a bit like a toss up between getting kicked in the bollocks or punched in the bollocks.

Zak Abbot a coup? I'm seeing several comments from Forest fans saying he should have had a L1 loan to guarantee game time.

Chance today to really get the season on fire. End of spy gate nonsense and great who better to smash to show who we are. Come on Saints. Let’s go 

[Lard]

The changes worry me.  Both in players and probably formation.

Tonda maybe, club certainly didn't.

On the subject of Tonda, is the sentence suspended for just any repeat of the same offence or for any other transgression ?

When I see Stephens anywhere in side it troubles me.

Matt Taylor demonstrating a clear lack of knowledge of the situation. 

Seem to remember he absolutely shat the bed at St Mary's whilst playing for West Ham. Was subbed off within the first half hour. 👀

Same offence 

[benjii]

Mark Dennis has taken full advantage of the early opening hours.

[Britannia]

The gall of Sky to put McAnuff on after what he's said.

I would take a one goal victory. I would say 1-0, but we are incapable of getting clean sheets so I'll go with 2-1.

[AlexLaw76]

What minute will they try and take out Leo?

[Britannia]

JWP is getting booed with every touch isn't he?

Let's fucking go! 

[Toadhall Saint]

COYRAWM!!!

[trousers]

The ITV line-up graphic has JWP in central midfield 

[ButtikonSaint]

COME ON YOU SAINTS !!!!

[captainchris]

At home not sure about this line up.

[Britannia]

“Visitors”

[trousers]

Starting with a bit of Russball...

Larin close!!

[SNSUN]

Stuck at Whipsnade with no 5g and spotty WiFi. So will miss this. Can only hope for a good result today. Not sure about the line up though but in Tonda we trust. 

[Mr X]

We can't get a grip on the game at the moment

[bangkoksaint]

Very slow start

[PerthshireSaint]

Why do we always start like this ?

Stay out of the tiger enclosure.

[Gloucester Saint]

Miles wide but the lead up to it was a warning sign.

Pity Finn underhit that pass as promising situation developing.

It's our trademark it seems! 

[AlexLaw76]

Pompey, so far, have done pretty well in making us play back or sideways a fair bit

The Tigers there do more than just drink drive.

[AlexLaw76]

Pressure building a bit now, from us that is

True all though we always do that style 

[trousers]

Agent Meghoma skies a good chance

[obelisk]

Saints vulnerable down our right side.

[Themotherfunky]

Treacle boots from Bree and JWP there 

[Window Cleaner]

Look a bit rattled...

Agreed, need to pass and move at a higher tempo. 

Maghoma blazes over.

Seems to me that we just wait to see what sort of press the other team are going to employ, and if it's an intense one then we seem happy to conserve energy and let them burn themselves out.

[trousers]

Poor cross from Bree in a great position 

[Mr X]

We've given them several clear chances already thankfully their striking boots aren't on yet 

[Gloucester Saint]

Too much mustard from Bree on the cross, pity after great take down by Larin. 

[bangkoksaint]

No need to kick Leo. He’s not in the game
