    I think most people have always thought both haven’t they? I know I certainly have

    On the grounds that last week’s lineup looked great but wasn’t, I’m going for an 0-8 away win.

    I think our team is just as good as theirs. Wouldn’t swap Fernandes, Dibling or Robinson for any of them.

    The nice thing about being in the Championship is that all games scare me, but don't really scare me if you see what I mean.

    This is probably the equivalent of playing Liverpool or Arsenal or Man City away in the Premiership.

    The difference is we aren't 'Southampton' in this scenario, but Liverpool, Arsenal or Man City if you get what I mean.

    Interested to see if we can master playing attacking football with no height up front

    OK with line up given sicknotes

    I'd prefer Fraser ahead of Suga on current showing
    I hope Suga can get his **** together, he ought to be very good at this level

    One thing that was interesting that Will Still said the other week was that it wasn't about the height in the box, but the quality of the crosses, and there is something to be said for that.

    On the topic of Will Still and his talking, what I like about him is he sounds so boring lol. Rather than being blinded by the charisma (!) or total bullshit (guess what managers I am talking about...), there is just the boring guy talking down the pub to you in a mono symbolic voice.

    I suppose, if we start slinging high crosses into the box we need to have enough players around the edge of the box to pick up the headed clearances and maintain pressure.
    Failing that we need someone to get to the goal line and pull crosses back across the ground for runners.

    Are we allowed to score an early goal?
