    Bookies have learnt their lessons from the Leicester season unfortunately.

    Just watched the Saints aftershow on YouTube. Quickly realised why I’d never bothered before as it’s mostly reading people’s social media posts about the game. Dean Hammond was good though. He said it looked like we were on the training ground for most of the game. Totally relaxed, trying flicks and tricks and overlaps.

    Looks like this team is chock full of confidence right now. Perfect to go to the international break, most people can rest a bit and be ready for a tough one when we come back against Wolves. After that though it’s United, Brighton and Sheff U. There’s not many teams I think will scare us this year.

    I loved the Theo quote last night. The last time I played in a front two it was with Kenwyne Jones or Ricardo Fuller

    Ricardo Fuller is still playing as a striker at the age of 41 for Hanley Town

    Agree with that. You can get some random results in the first two or three, but from six games in it is proper ...

    it’s always ten games for a team.

    People have misunderstood me a couple of times now - me saying Stephens was a weak link vs Newc is by no means a criticism of him. I think he did a bloody good job considering he is a CB - but he still was a weak link and offered nothing going forward (through no fault of his own).

    IMO you can never have a go at a player being played completely out of position.

    I would put a lot of money on the theory that he was told NOT to venture forward

    Likewise that Djenepo was told NOT to run at their defence too much, but stay in touch with Jack.
