So, erm... we won? Here I am again then, winner stays on and all that

Will Tonda give us more to ponder or will there be solid links to a new, incoming manager before kick-off rolls around?

This game will be the first with Oriol Romeu back on the books - there's something I never thought we'd be saying when this week started - so there's potential for a rousing reception if he does get on from the bench

We won't get a better chance than this to clock up back-to-back league wins for the first time since April 2024, surely?

Over to you...

Welcome to Oriol Yellow Romeu.
 
OR has gotta be on the bench at least & if/when he comes on, the roof will raise. Hopefully we’ll be in front at that stage too. Surely, we’ll be able to beat a side in admin & at home. Something for the home supporters to get excited about & for the long suffering band(s) playing in the Northam Fan Zone post match. There was virtually no one there after PNE. 10-20, so embarrassing.
 
Think this is a strangely tougher game than it seems. If there’s one team in the league that epitomises the fight we need to show week in week out currently it’s the Owls & they will be right up for this. Really hope the lift of a fairly lucky 3 points, quality of Scienza / JRob / Arma & Romeu being back about will be enough for the players to see this one through.

Gonna go for a fairly scary 2-1 to Saints. Hoping for 4 at the back, but gut tells me it’ll be:

Bazunu,
Edwards, THB, Stephens,
Fellows, Jander, Downes, Manning
JRob, Leo,
Arma
