    Really, really, really need KWP coming on at RB now. They've worked out that AMN is a liability.

    Come on Saints, PLEASE let's do this

    Got JWP to score at any time and Saints to win 2-1 @40/1...

    I'll take letting Chelsea score with the last kick after we score again..:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Also I'd get Adarma on for Sulemana. Alcaraz on for the invisible Norwegian.

    Anyone else loving Onuachu? The man is a lanky legend. His pull downs are immaculate. Just plucks the ball out of anywhere and lays it off!

    This sounds silly, as it’s one half of football, but I don’t want them to sack Potter and us to go for him. I want to let Ruben & Horseman (which sounds like a Netflix cartoon series) run with this.

    I'd want Sulemana for the second half. Having his pace on the counter seems very beneficial, as we're liable to spend a lot of time in our end.

    If his nickname isn't Bojack, it should be.

    What a way to end a great 1st half from us! I like how we bring Tall Paul into our link up play instead of just simply hoofing it up to him. He has played really well.

    Chalk and cheese comes to mind! Now got to keep this standard up for the 2nd half. COYR!

    Agreed. AMN suffers from Elyounoussi Syndrome. Looks quite decent in patches but is far too slow and keeps trying things he's just not good enough to pull off.

    It really is night and day, isn’t it? Amazing what an actual coach that sets up a team correctly can do.

    A win doesn’t move us up table which shows how important it is to get something from this game. Not end of world to lose, but getting close

    Tall Paul has been a revelation. His chest control has been superb and the little passes to a teammate have helped put us on the front foot. Sulemana not having the same impact as he had last week but I would stick with him.
    Can’t fault the first 45 minutes.
    The ref seems reluctant to book Félix who seems to have committed a few fouls, but Stuart could/should have been booked earlier for pulling Chilwell (?) back so I can live with that.

    This isn’t unusual for a Saints team though, must be the biggest swing from when we are good to bad of any team.

    Very solid first half, hopefully we can continue and Selles isn’t like Ralph in terms of second half performances

    Crap at tackling too. Thought he was supposed to be a defensive mid. Weird how he's turned out.

    What we don't want now is them to go down to ten men as that would give them a free hit at, err, stuff.

    The ultimate test. Can we play well in both halves of a football match?
