Great ball pinged out to find him too.
It was a good ball but Ballard did all the hard work there. For a 17 year old to show the composure he did there is very exciting. That goal reminded me of Ings. The thing is there's no point in promoting him to the first team squad if he's just going to sit on the bench all the time. He needs to play to continue his development so it's not a straightforward call but I would certainly consider him for the Bournemouth game.

Does anyone know if that was Exeters first team or a heavily rotated side?
 
Does anyone know if last night's loss to Exeter means that Saints are out of the competition, or was this a 'Group Stage' fixture, so we could still be in with a shout?

I think we've lost our first 2 fixtures, with one left so it's mathematically impossible to qualify now. I think.
 
1). That is something I would like to watch.
2). Alan Carr’s dad was a professional footballer and manager? :emoticon-0104-surpr
That is something I would never have guessed if it had been a question in a quiz.

I think his dad was a scout at Newcastle for awhile and was credited when they were signing all those French players a while back
