New rule this season that injured players can be replaced with a substitute that takes a full part in the game. Wesley has been replaced by Thain. As you say great care will be needed as Porter and Cook open the Essex bowling.

Yeah Loved broja when he was here was extremely fast for a big man I genuinely thought he was gonna be world class

For those who haven't watched many games, the better team, with the V on the front of their shirts, isn't the well resourced Valenciennes team, dreaming of Ligue 1. It's hummel's QRM shirt. Christophe mentioned that Our Rento would be missing tonight, through injury. The coverage graphic had Ngoya in for Niakate, but with Niakate's number. Neither would want to put their hand up for that one. Gave away a penalty for the first, didn't track the overlap for the second, and was left in the dust of their left winger (and MVP) for the third. Saints have seen successive managers have to reach the same conclusions. Once again, Abi didn't start. So, we had a pile of attacking midfielders, Courtet dropping deep, wide or wherever he wants, and absolutely no one as an outlet. A side built on those who feel they have to start, over the system. They did bring Abo on for the second half. Not coincidentally, VA looked a lot better, with Rouai being bright. Passi managed to get one back, with a bouncing header that beat the keeper. Courtet got VA's second through perseverance, and his defender not winning the header he was favourite to clear. Other than that, he had a bit of a stinker. Everywhere across the midfield and attack, but with very little working. He had a real chance to get a goal back, but fell oveclaiming a push for a penalty. The ref and the coverage didn't show enough for his legs to have collapsed. As always, he's just the most noticeable. Others were just as ineffective. Appuah got sent off for having his boot high. In real time, and in every replay, the opponent dips his head down towards the ball. A yellow card was upgraded to a red either from a 4th official, or the ref seeing the injury for long enough. Very harsh. The evening's comedy moment came from two QRM players leaving their free kick to each other, and both running over the ball. The recent form, under new management, has got VA clear of any real danger. If they are to stay ahead of the pack that belies their position, they'll need to have a couple more performances in them, better than the last two.

Weird.

These little shits need to experience a good " cracking" session with everyone then turning a blind eye in the same way that they expect whilst performing their antics.

Could do with Cov beating Hull on Monday then if we can do the business 6th a point behind 5th with a game in hand

Have you seen some of our fans? It’s the best sellers

I was more impressed with Derby today than I was with Wrexham. They've got Moore back after a month out though and he did make a difference for them when he came on. One thing I will say is that defensively we look better than both those sides and that could be the key.

Eddie Jack is a good prospect, Baker bowled well earlier in the day. Weatherley’s drop of Tom Westley might hurt us if he hasn’t broken a finger and returns tomorrow. Key learning for our batters is to keep it tight first 20-30 overs when it’s doing plenty and then the conditions get better and you can cash in like the Essex middle order has.

Don't over think it, whatever will be will be, no fomo for me just looking forward to the Arsenal game

Does the club shop stock XXL in shorts? Ah, got you, that’s not the massive you meant.

Wrexham aren’t that good. The wankfest behind them is what’s spurred them on. A bit like the Frank Lampard wankfest at Coventry, if it was any other manager no one would bat an eyelid.

I’d solve that by middle class parents having to pay to larger fines than now which might require instalments to pay off over a period of months, so that it has an impact across the household. Not having the holiday they were expecting and being confronted by angry siblings would be a memory of the consequences. If the family has no financial headroom to pay then no provisional licence before the age of 25 for the young offender. If you don’t want the consequences, don’t commit anti-social offences and cost businesses through violence.

Another decent result for us 👍

Decent results for us today. Shame West Brom couldn't hold on but none of the 3 sides around us won. Obviously hoping for two wins next week but 4 points wouldn't be the worst outcome.

Thankfully Coventry seem to have pulled their shit together...

Was always going to be a better player away from the way Saints utilised him, we still have Archer I suppose.

Showing why he’s going to be massive for us next season

Looking kinda pissed off just now...!

lol

BBD doing us no favours tonight

Absolute stinker of a decision there from the referee

Massively running out of steam, but they won't be caught now
