    For Southampton he has come on as sub twice totalling about 25 minutes before injury again and has now just returned to light training on grass.

    I know hes not everyones cup of Tea but Ba shouldn't have been out the 18 man squad today

    No chance burstow should be in a squad ahead of him

    I said the same when the squad was put up. They clearly want to sign Burstow. Whoever sanctions this needs to get told to do one.

    Ba gets a lot of flak which I don’t think is warranted at all.

    He’s a young lad still developing, yet has contributed more goals/assists this season than other more experienced players.

    Yeah he has a way to go yet, especially with his decision making but I think he just needs a bit of love from the fans

    13/22 passes completed, 59%. Poor game from a player I really like. What I would say though is he didn't shy away from the ball which is a good sign.

    Bet they have agreed with Chelsea that he will be in every squad if hes fit - should never make deals like that

    I dont think we will sign him, dodds clearly doesnt trust him - hence why he wasnt brought on when we are chasing a goal

    I thought Ba mignt have picked up a knock but looked like he was just dropped. He is a good player to have in a squad, he is a goal threat (his finishing is poor but hes got a few goals this yr) and can play a few positions

    You’re right like. I’m far from Ba’s biggest fan but it’s a disgrace Burstow is on the bench ahead of him today. Scandalous tbh.

    I thought Dack gave us a bit of an edge when he came on. Decent passes and hit the bar.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him start against Leeds.

    What went on in the away end? There seemed to be a swathe of stewards piling in and some derogatory chants from the Brizzle fans (the only noise they made all day)

    I see RTG have taken this latest result well, incredible toy throwing out the pram even by their standards.

    At one point I heard them querying if they were currently in a library, I remember because it nearly made me put my book down.

    They'll be the same bunch who boo if we concede a goal and walk out on 70 mins if we aren't 4-0 up. **** them, Id rather we had the 20,000 hardcore there and not the tourists
