Honestly, if you are going to make expectations for the season over a saints side that lined up without THB/Schlotterbeck or manning in defence, without any of Downes/Jander/JWP in CM, and without both azaz and Larin in attack, then i can't help you. That is a gutted side. We won't be fielding a line up like that without injuries severe enough to ruin any club's season in the championship.

He's been loaned to Portsmouth and gone willingly - wash your mouth out!

they're tongue in cheek 😁

Shame, he'd be our best left back now if we'd kept him.

Looks like we figured we'd lose out to Fulham on that Austrian monkey bloke. https://insidefutbol.com/2026/09/01/in-advanced-talks-fulham-look-to-hijack-southamptons-swoop/726163/

There have always been supporters with the wrong attitude. I remember when I had a season ticket in the East Stand and there was one chap who used to shout abuse about Mike Channon in his early days and later another so called 'supporter' who complained loudly at every opportunity about Alan Ball.

Ew.

People incapable of writing brief statements describing their own feelings and intentions nowadays. It's getting crazy.

That’s why Blackmore is in Spain

Sterling would a risk of a Peter Osgood-type accident on the M3, or worse, to training every day. Assuming he isn’t banned/incarcerated.

Saw this...AI content...

I think Nelson would be a possibility and might actually be alright. The rest are either past it, unrealistic or both.

You’d have to say very strange having shifted so many in that area of the squad to not being able to bring in a loan PL fringe striker. I don’t think it is serious financial trouble though, I think it’s expectation setting after yesterday.

With no other options coming in other than Abbot, and Edozie and Archer possibly off, we are far too light going forward. Scienza is always likely to get smashed and Dobbin looks a work in progress. I also feel we could use the loan market a lot better than we are doing currently. Under Martin we had plenty of useful loans, and last January they saved our season with Peretz and Larin. A Scienza injury away from being left massively short for me.

As we saw on Saturday, Wood can come in and play against the physical teams like Millwall if needed. Whether this loan is what we need I guess time will tell. Forest fans think he can do a job for us. We've bought players in at a higher level with zero first-team games and they have excelled (Lavia, Livramento), so hopefully it's more of an impact like them than a dud.

I think the FA will wait until we've climbed the table then fuck us over big time.

GK Peretz Long Ramsdale? RB Bree Abbott? CB Wood Stephens Schlotterbeck Abbott Lb Manning Wellington LM Scienza Edozie? CM Downes JWP Bragg Jander RM Matsuki Fellows AM Azaz Dobbin Akachukwu? ST Larin Mubama Happy with that? I assume we play Dobbin if Larin gets injured. Just have to cross our fingers that it doesn't happen.

And Lewis Dobbin was Everton pick in 2019….! Most of the rest seem to have disappeared….

At least one short. Loaning the lad to Leyton Orient seems daft in that context unless he really isn’t up to the Champ if they’re so skint so they can’t even loan a PL fringe striker in.

Add to that we have also loaned out BBD and Oyekunle. Losing 5 striker options off the books and relying on Larin staying fit and an inexperienced Mubama is suicidal IMO. Surely there must be another one incoming?

Come on, be realistic. Sterling is going to prison, and Zaha would never happen with JWP back.

Dobbin isn’t a striker, or a winger. Seems to have been a #10 for PNE so more rotation for Finn Azaz. Would be stupid to leave the club that short up front with DD gone as well, Stewart already gone and Archer very likely but the club has history eg Fonte and January which cost us a major trophy.

Assuming they feel Dobbin can play there. So our forwards would be Larin, Dobbin, Mubama

I don’t get the obsession with Solly March. Feels like all the worst elements of “bring back Wayne Bridge/Lallana/Romeu/Walcott” etc but for a player who never played for us in the first place so not even an emotional pull. He’s played a handful of games in the last three seasons and clearly crocked for huge parts of that. Feels like a weird nostalgia to just say we finally sign someone we’ve been linked with loads of times. Feels pointless.

At least I can get some work done today. Bit of a shame not to get one more in at least.
