    Attendance 19075 - and 2.5K of those were from Southampton.
    Numbers starting to dwindle?

    Tom tried Baah as a striker but gave up on the experiment

    Worth giving it a try tho, but depends if Baah is fit enough yet for a full game after his injuries

    Irankunda is a must start and free kick expert

    Thoroughly enjoyable game yesterday, got a point more than I thought we would. Two teams playing decent football, and a third team letting them.
    If the execution isn't perfect yet, we are beginning to see a better brand of football from that which we've witnessed in quite a few seasons.
    And, more importantly, Plan A wasn't quite coming off, but Plan B almost won it. Steps in the right direction,

    I noticed some fans were trying to match Irankunda to the Igahalo song but I think a version of the Men at Work song would be better starting off with He comes from a land down under and when he scores he brings on thunder

    What’s your report on the ref, Fez? I thought he was very good. No home bias, no away bias, no trying to make the game all about him - take note, Mr Steve Martin.

    It was worth trying and I think a Premier League side might have the depth to persevere. As a counter-attacking side’s striker, can you imagine him shrugging off defenders if he made those runs through the middle rather than down the wing? The stuff of centre-back nightmares!

    Live, I thought it was a very well-taken free-kick. On here, as with the Swansea one, you realise the precision and technical excellence. Then you see he can do this:



    And all of this:



    Boring, boring Watford.

    Not much to that celebration either. I do that when I’ve done the hoovering.
