But the Poles are very welcome to target Moore, or Leeds' billion Welsh players. And as for Bednarek, it wouldn't be the end of the world if he doesn't play on Friday. It will be his last opportunity to get his 10th yellow. And it wouldn't be ideal to have someone play in an important double-header (for us) straight off the back of a previous double-header (for Poland). And it would allow Martin to continue with his weird obsession of starting Stephens, but without costing us KWP at RB (assuming he is fit).
Met him last year down in Bournemouth. I may have been a touch drunk, but what a great guy. Said to him my best memory of him at Saints was that goal. I remember going crazy when he scored it.
SAINTS loanee David Brooks was forced off through illness having come on as a substitute in Wales' penalties defeat to Poland in a Euro 2024 qualification final. Brooks was introduced with six regular minutes left on the clock but was withdrawn in the second half of extra time, with Ipswich Town's Nathan Broadhead coming on in his place. Speaking after the game, Page admitted it was a risk bringing the Southampton forward on, but one worth taking. He said: "Brooksy has been ill since Thursday. He has not trained a minute on the grass. He was a gamble. "Someone of Brooksy's quality, you want to get them on the pitch. We realised straight away that he didn't have a run in him".

Absolutely no idea if it’s been mentioned anywhere as I’ve not been on for a while, but heard yesterday our new kit will be made by Puma…. That is all..!!
News that part of the the Kingsland North stand is to be closed off until further notice, under the direction of Chief Security Steward April Fuller, in order to prevent any further unaccepatble behaviour as experienced in the Good Friday match against Middlesborough. Details to follow. Credits: Owen Lee/Joe King.
(If true) Is there any other club as hostile to its own fan base? By all accounts it was a situation created and inflamed by the stewards. Also are there any other clubs in the U.K. with multiple blocks of home support closed for behaviour? Sounds like they think this is Millwall. This is an April Fools isn’t it….
