Nico Lawrence. U21 Centre back. Was on loan at colchester first half of the season, but we recalled him when it looked like Holgate was going. Martin wanted to keep him around to see what he's like.
Not going to be holding the ball up today then. Hopefully we adapt and actually get Arma in behind with some incisive passing from midfield.
Thanks for putting this up. I had a Saints app alert about today’s team but, it’s probably me, I can’t see the teams on the Saints app. Match pack, on this day, press conference etc aok but not the actual team sheet.
Shoehorned Stephens in ... yawn. I'm bored of hearing that phrase to be honest. Manning isn't fully fit, so once again, what other options have we got? Stephens has actually been playing well in recent games and is fully deserving to keep his place.
I like the look of it too. Stephens is a good defender, betting than Manning anyway. And those three up top could just be the best attack we have. Che's hold up play is good, but he offers little apart from that.
Relying on a hotel internet to watch this. Buffering at the moment but hoping it will settle, as it did for the Norwich v Ipswich game.
