I think the three players taken off at half time won't be feeling aggrieved as they'll know in themselves that they weren't having good games, but for reasons mentioned above far better to do it at half time. Will Stewart start on Saturday; it does seem that his minutes are being very closely managed, but he does add so much. It wasn't just down to those three though as in the first half the defence as a whole was dodgy and too passive. I messaged my friend at full time that I was going to pour myself a stiff whisky*. She had turned the radio off at 2-0 it sounded so bad and thought we'd been tonked! It's great to be the bearer of good news.. * Had a beer instead..

I suspect if there are any tickets for the FA cup game left they may be sold tomorrow!

**** me!

I wouldn't disagree with any of those subs!

If tdmickey3 is laughing then I'm reassured..

Dodgy stream time, I'm afraid..

Naughty sub-editor..!

Hopefully with the CBs worrying about him he doesn't need to score himself and Azaz, Scienza, Fellows (?!), THB.. can step up.

I think it's called 'sulking'. 'Dumb insolence' in the army, I believe..

In 1976 Saints were 5-1 against and I thought to myself that those were very good odds for a two horse race. But alas I was a poor student.. and remained so!

My grandad used to do 6d each-way doubles on the horses. Do they accept 2.5p bets anymore?

He's not there, he's here..

Yes, as St Ciervo said, something we've been missing. The team has been less than the sum of its parts but perhaps one of the parts was wrong?

To be honest I think a win with a number of goals including a debut one from Larin would help the crowds. Last time I did the sums the cost of my season ticket per points and goals seen was horrific.. I also can't remember when I was really relaxed about a lead and not worried about a defensive collapse.

Didn't I see a time stamp on that video of 2017, so only about 21/2 at the time. Let's hope he's grown up a bit. I wish Armstrong well but his time with us was done, and it showed. The win at Stoke showed that his contribution wasn't necessary and Larin certainly brings different attributes to the game, which we know are what we need. Hopefully he's good enough at what he does to make a difference. Downs never got going so let's hope for a tap in and nod in against Watford, as we've certainly got the players to give him some assists.

I shall watch that when I have a bit more time, but thanks! Like a big kid I was shouting out the names as I saw them in the introduction: Paine, Sydenham, Osgood, Wallace, Golac!

Possibly that you best start the process within one minute?

Brown slop?

Watched a bit of the Hull-Watford game: 0-0 and all very much thud and blunder but with the sort of physicality that we usually struggle against..

Are they nearer sea level than St Marys then?

Well, at least we won't miss his ability in that direction.

What, like angry wasps? Wouldn't hang around there mush!

I think that is the crucial point. We've long been used to his misses, mind. Perhaps we can have Cyle start the odd game, bully the defenders a bit and get them running around, get a CB booked, possibly even score a goal (!) and then bring on Stewart to finish it off.. We can all dream, can't we, and then wish him well on his world cup venture after scoring 8 goals for us.

From The Echo website: 9:12pm 🚨 Plan remains the same. Armstrong to Wolves announced soon, and then the loan signing of Larin from Mallorca shortly after. There's a plan, at any rate..
