    Well I wonder whether he suits the system. Wouldn't be adverse to loaning him out to Celtic for instance.

    Stuart doesn’t appear to have come back off holiday.
    Maybe he thought there were so many players that no one would notice and he’d get some free days

    Looking at the Championship table we start off in 19th place, I hope we finish higher than that!

    It will be difficult to transform the environment at the club and with the existing players. We’re so used to and accepting of losing. Creating that real winners and brotherhood type culture that gets you promoted will be much easier with a smaller squad. Still lots of players to shift. I imagine if we are to have a promotion worthy campaign, we’ll have to grow into like Burnley did last season or Reading the season we went up. Going to require patience in the first few months from us Saints fans.

    It's only a meaningless friendly too. I'm sure the players would react differently in a proper game.

    That’s not really the attitude if we want to change the mentality at the club. I definitely see his point.

    We need everyone to be fired up and have a positive mentality 24/7. Full culture shift from loser mindset to champion mentality.
