They went in hard on him in the first 5 mins or so and when that happens he doesn’t want to know for the rest of the game
I'd hate to see what the performance would be like if we hadn't sent a junior analyst to track every Middlesbrough's players movements. Need a refund on that high tech spy equipment.
Early goal inside 5 mins of the second half for us, can feel it

We need it!!!
Is there a stat about Saints passes in Boro’s half? Wouldn’t surprise me if we haven’t had 1 successful pass
Matsuki for Azaz, maybe even Stewart for Larin. Maybe Charles on next to Jander, and push Downes slightly further forward. Might be our worst first half of football since Stills reign.
If we come away from this with just a 1-0 defeat I will be ecstatic
This reminds me of the Kelvin Davis miracle game against Dirty Leeds in 2012. We will get a chance in this game I think, we just have to take it.
I would include, as somebody else has said, Charles for the passenger Azaz. We desperately need to shore up our right side and Fellows is a liability going backwards ( don't think he's particularly good going forwards but that's for another day ) as for Larin he's simply not at the races today.
There's always a twist in the tale of a good spy story.
