GOod win.

 

[saintgreg10]

Tonight is the greatest night in football history.

Jack Cork scores a goal.

Graziano Pelle scores a goal.

We now have a problem, you realise. Which one are we going to call "one goal"?

Neither, Ward-Prowse already has that title

Either way let's hope Pelle gets a second a lot faster than Jack inevitably will!

Koeman must be enjoying the ManU result after Van Gaal criticised him in his autobiography.

Please, no-one come on here and say that Cork shouldn't start for Saints!?

That said, I would still like to see Wanyama as he does offer a great deal of protection to the central defenders. But coming forward, it all starts with Cork.

To be fair, starting an attack is not Victors game. Cork should be competition for Morgan. Sorry but Davis and JWP again both struggled to impress, its time to try Gaston or Taider. Long has done enough to keep hold of his place

Koeman's first competitive win, let's hope we can kick on from here. Bring on Big Sam and the other folk from East London.

What have we learned? Can we please get another Tadic on the left hand side.

Jwp was good against Liverpool tho.

Thats what I'm saying. Play both Cork and Wanyama. I know that theoretically we lose a more 'creative' player but we still have some skilful players out there.

Cork definitely shouldn't start for saints. We played Millwall.

Cork was good, but Wanyama and Schneiderlin are better. Cork is fantastic back up and yes it's hard to drop him on that performance but remember the opposition. He'll play this season, he's a sturdy and reliable player.

Did you mean to add a ? If not, we could fall out

 

[TheSecondStain]

Just found out the result and scorers. Jack Cork becomes a cult hero, and Pelle gets off the mark. What a nice end to the day.

Week in week out he was our best midfield player last year. It doesn't matter how much you want other players to be better, if you watch the games, they haven't been.

I know its 'just' Millwall. But it was 'just' Millwall in the first half too and we were appalling.

Week in week out is way over hyping Cork.

 

[Channonfodder]

Don't be shy, btw. If you want to make a comment, we don't bite.

Well, some do, but hardly any. Honestly.

I love Jack Cork and don't under rate him at all. He's a fantastic and reliable player, but as it happens we're blessed with CMs and I think Wanyama and Schneiderlin - in Koeman's system - get the nod

 

[AL.]

Cork is fantastic, and I really don't want to see us selling him.
