Not necessarily. Why do you say that?

Looks like McCarthy KWP Stephens Bednarek Bertrand Romeu/Smallbone JWP Armstrong Redmond Ings Long/Obafemi Gunn, Danso, Vokins, Smallbone/Romeu, Adams, Long/Obafemi, Djenepo plus random two from Academy.

Nice to be able to sit back and watch other results today with no real concern. But I'd still ideally like to see wins for Norwich, Man U. 😳, Leicester, Wolves and Chelsea.

Not that it really matters, but shame if Everton and Newcastle win. Reduced our chance of overtaking them.

Add Sheffield U to that

Of course.

There is absolutely no way Ralph will go back to three CBs

Shaw looked offside for their second. No VAR?

Never has applied for DOGSC.

Just one, for denial of goal scoring chance

I agree he seemed to lack his usual pace, but was that after he got a knock?

I'm in sympathy with much of this. I don't really want Europe this time. It'll be messy and we may not be able to go to games anyway. I don't think the squad is deep enough or ready and it would stretch us too far and damage Ralph's building. Most "lesser" teams have struggled to cope with Europa and the league and I suspect Burnley will do so again if they qualify. I want a really good domestic season with no distractions. The only positives might be experience and encouragement for players and manger and a carrot to keep anyone tempted to leave, but realistically Europa won't do that. Champions League 21/22!

I'd just have Stephens for Vestergaard.

Think you were watching a different game. He was impressive.

Hopefully now we are sure we can relax we'll play well at home, especially if it isn't 31c.

The huge difference was that it was 13c cooler than on Thursday and we could play our normal.game. Great win. Che was good when he came on. Strength, pace, vision. God, how I was willing him to score.

"I'll tempt fate by saying my recent record starting these isn't bad. COYR!!' Nice to keep up the 100% record this season. 😀

I'll tempt fate by saying my recent record starting these isn't bad. COYR!!

Where did you see that?

Could be 433, or the usual 4222 with JWP alongside Redmond

Romeu, Vestergaard, Smallbone and KWP in for Stephens, Hojbjerg, Armstrong and Valery Very inexperienced bench!

I'm not so sure. I think there's a serious question of whether his attitude is ever going to be right. I've good reason to believe he's the club's biggest problem..

You've no idea how much stress this gives me. 😂

I'll accept that you're almost definitely right. Would take remarkable results all round for us to get dragged in. Problem is, I'm a mathematician. 😂

I'll take that as good news for Saints. Once we're mathematically safe I'll start hope results start going for Villa, Bournemouth and Watford and against West Ham. Until then, I'm happy to see all teams below us keep losing.
