    But then it will go to penalties.
    Maybe we’ve used up our misses though.

    Given the role he was signed for (starting centre midfield) there's a decent case that it's actually the Browne deal that's the worst of last summer. At least Salis can go back, and Poveda was only signed as an option out wide. Given there was competition for his signature he'll be on a fair wage. I'd genuinely give all his midfield minutes to Jones

    Would be really disappointed not to keep another clean sheet on Saturday

    Thought Harrison Jones didn't look out of place when he came on. Next one off the rank

    100% agree. It’s why we look so much better when he’s on the pitch because we quite literally don’t have another creative 10 to fill in

    Missed a great chance to be right up the arses of the top three.
    I feel that RLB is playing this way to make sure are defensive units is strong for the away leg of the playoff.

    Seriously I know this isn’t the thread but I’ve just seen Declan Rice’s two goals and they’re two of the best free kicks you’ll ever see. Scored by the same player within 13 minutes in a huge match. Unreal

    Yeah. Proper creative 10 needed. I'd be half tempted to bring Sam Greenwood home if we could. He's a good chance creator at this level, good on set pieces and fair goal threat. Add in the romantic return to his home club and he could be a very decent shout IMO

    Hume is playing injured, Mepham has been out, Ballard and Cirkin both missing ...

    ... and we've just had three clean sheets.

    That's decent to be fair.

    Would currently be SAFC v Bristol City in the semi finals. Would take that now but they are a sneakily good side
