    Slattery's only 15 - doubt he wont be officially contracted till he starts his scholarship next season ... that's if I interpret how it all works correctly, anyway :)

    Seems like a question for this thread:

    Is Dom Gape an attacking or defensive midfielder. He seemed to move quite far forward when he came on but was described as tough tackling on the website

    Also has anyone worked out how tall he is?

    Did they really look that big? I have seen a stream but maybe it wasn't of sufficient quality to be able to tell

    It's because he was wearing black boots. It threw me too.

    Saints use an entirely different system to measure the height of players. Remember Isgrove is described as being 5'10 (yes, in high heels with his hair backcombed).

    Is a Reed a unit of height? How many Reeds is Fraser?

    In Matchday Uncovered, a Gape is 2/3 of a Forster if that helps.

    So 1/3rd is the gap between Gape and Forster in height..? A unique measurement, only to be used when they embrace at the end of a game. :)

    Has anyone seen enough of the games to know how Gazza and Cropper are getting on? Have they shown any improvement under Watson? Or should we still live in terror of a Forster injury?

    The number 46 barely fits on Gape's back. He's probably taller than me to be fair.

    So surely that means the club are looking for goalie backup. But it has not been mentioned by Koeman...
