    Scienza is a player.

    Less said about the rest of them, the better.

    Well we've all seen this story before haven't we.

    What minute do we reckon the Swansea set piece winner comes in? I'll go 62nd.

    The last ten minutes have been good. Would be in front but for the goalkeeper.

    I`m watching a different game to some others - I think Saints have been entertaining and really unlucky not to be up by a couple of goals. COYS!

    I really enjoyed that half. Scienza was fantastic and Charles also imperious. It just needs one of those chances to go in and the floodgates will open.

    Encouraging last 10 minutes. Jander is looking great

    15 shots, 5 on target, a hat full of misses.

    We have dominated and played pretty well.

    The result is the important thing today.
    A failure if we don't win this

    Much better end to the half. Still some players playing like it's a testimonial though

    Scienza was fantastic there. I just hope he doesn't start trying to do too much in the second half. He feels like the type of player who may decide he'll have to actually dribble past their whole team and walk the ball into their goal.

    Fully expecting Scienza off on the hour mark, probably for Downs <laugh>

    Scienza has played so well there, that Still will probably take him off for Downs

    Well a decent end to the half. Scienza outstanding. At least we're getting the ball forward more quickly. But desperately need a goal.

    Yeah for me the first half of that half we were boring.

    Much better the last 15-20 mins.

    Why do we feel Still plays a back 3/5 when his preferred formation is a back 4?

    Surely it’s his job to get the team playing the way he wants in the right formation.

    I did wonder if he only wants to play a back 4 with a big man up top for the winger to fire in to, and to hold up and play wide to the attackers.

    Seems strange to me he can’t figure this out and can’t be easy on players changing from one week to the next.

    I don't know.

    I like Edwards, Wood, Jander, Charles, all good players individually, just need to gel as a team

    Yeah, individually I like them all. Just not sure as a team we're up to much right now.
