CB Fry

Did that Austrian centre back we wanted (I've already forgotten his name) sign for Palace in the end?

But he's better than Peretz so if he plays he should be first choice. That's why he isn't in the squad.

We cannot afford for him to be in our squad. It's as simple as that. No one is making a judgement call that Long is better, obviously he isn't. If he isn't going anywhere today then we'll try and get him to Turkey or USA or Sauudi or wherever has a window open.

Felt like a 1-1 all day.

Fellows is off because he needs a fair wind to get up to Goodison before the 11 o'clock window closes.

Falchener would have stopped that.

even 20 years ago a player would get the agent to do it so I am not sure what you're upset about

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.

Spent the weekend making the RIP coffin out of cardboard. Just finishing off the headstone "HERE LYES SOTHAMPTON FC TIME OF DEATH 31/8/26 CUASE OF DEARTH LACK OF AMITION REST IN PIECE"

Feels pretty obvious that Falchaner is not coming. Maybe a last minute second keeper and maybe a loan striker. Plus this child from Forest announced.

If you don’t believe in our players that's on you. Try supporting the team.

Funny how some players don't fit the Saintsweb holier-than-thou routine of "you all slagged him off and he turned out brilliant" isn't it? The players that don't turn out great get quietly removed from that little sermon. Funny, ain't it. Damion Downs has played less than 15 games for us and even you, the great level headed super-patient uber-fan, has not got the balls to stand up and say give him time, he will be brilliant for us. You're just as bad as everyone else on here, aren't you?

Looking forward to seeing Damion Downs first name on the teamsheet tomorrow, then?

Harwood-Bellis by the time he was 20 had played about 60 games for Blackburn, Anderlecht and Stoke City. If we use the new the brand new SaintsWeb experience measurement calculator then 60 senior games means he was Steve Ogrizovic.

If Larin gets injured then I think we just find anyone who has played less than 10 professional games and chuck them in, will be fine no problem.
