    We could combine the two skills. Knowing Saints, we'd get a goalkeeper who struggles with the basic goalkeeping, and has basic footwork

    Bazunu has excellent distribution. That was noticeable in its absence last night.

    Yeah I am gradually turning to be happy with him in goal for this season for this reason, I think his distribution will create quite a few goals for us and could make us a big threat on the counter.

    I think Martins style was awful for him, removed his best attribute and put him under huge pressure at the back for no real gain.

    So what are we thinking?, has anybody pushed for a claim of the shirt on saturday?
    I'll admit that I missed the game because of an emergency last night, was it a 3-1-4-2 as the Beeb are reporting it?. I'll be disillusioned to see the same starting line up as the Stoke game, surely there must be some changes.

    Under construction Chilcs, it has some gaps see my earlier post replying to Lambo, it would be crazy to gang up on me now.

    Wasn't it nice to see an absolute banger of a goal go in. A beauty.

    Take that but there's a few I'd prefer for randomness like Port Vale/Bradford.

    Wycombe/Cambridge would be decent in terms of locality.

    Fully expecting a PL team at home though.

    It’s a fiddled draw again, with the teams in European competitions being kept from playing each other.
    Shouldn’t be allowed. It should be a straightforward draw and if the teams in European football are drawn to play each other on a date that clashes with the European competition, they should have to suck it up and put out a B team.
    They shouldn’t be rewarded for their finishing position from last season. They already get that by missing the first two rounds.

    Alphabetical progression would give us away to Nottingham Forest!

    Could we not play them both at the same time?

    Forgot to add, because I was knackered when I got in....

    There was a period in the 2nd half when Matsuki was absolutely screaming for the ball and I think it was Flynn passed backwards. Matsuki went ape **** with him and had a proper go. Way more of that please. Brilliant attitude.

    I think I might end up loving this chap.

    Interesting. We all noted that he had been ignored when in good positions, but great to hear he didn’t just take it!
