Bazunu - 7. Not a lot to do but did what he had to. Distribution was generally good. Roerslev - 4. Very underwhelming for someone with his premier league experience. Stephens- 7. Generally good performance and loved his lung busting waltz through midfield as no one else had the balls to try! Harwood-Bellis - 7. Got his head on a fair bit. Manning - 4. Positioning was poor and delivery even worse for the most part. Downes - 3. Very poor. Crab football, uninspiring. Charles - 7. Assured on the ball. Strong performance. Fellows - 6. First half when we had moments, he was very direct old school right winger, getting to the byline. Second half not as much and cut in a bit more. Promising. Azaz - 4. Didn't offer nearly enough for his league experience. Left Archer exposed and isolated a lot. Meh. Fraser - 9. Best player on the pitch. Ran his socks off and tried everything. Fair play Archer - 7. Put himself about for a small bloke and held his own whilst isolated. Tried hard but needed more support. Armstrong - 6. Burst of energy when he came on and tried but again didn't have much to work from. Rest of the subs unrated as they were all introduced for too late. What a frustrating afternoon. Those outswinging corners were arse! Should have put Manning on inswingers, would have been more effective.

Morning all! Today is the day. UP THE F*CKING SAINTS!!!!

Just seen Carsten Jancker buying a kettle in John Lewis

Bierhoff next! De Pedro on his way to Staplewood?

Funnily enough I've started replaying FM 2005 and 26 isn't interesting me at all right now.

Russian drone spotted over Stapelwood.

Goal?

Good morning campers! How are we all feeling? Football is back 😁

These rumours can't be Montreal

Flowers would've been at Leicester by that point. Apologies, MLG mode activated.

Dibling to start and bag a hattrick. Paying homage to Seth Rollins cash in at Summerslam.

That doesn't actually feel like it's outside the realms of possibility

Well, my 4 year old who will be attending his first game on Saturday believes Saints will score 10 goals. Unsure whether thats a victory or a 10-11 loss...

Paul Allen in takeover bid

I think £35 million gets him. Don't believe he is what Everton need right now though. Clearly doesn't want to be here so good riddance.

New Netflix series?

Please close this thread. It's weird.

Totally. Our squad may not be perfect, hopefully we will get some quality additions but for me, the main questions for this window are can/will we keep Ramsdale? and if not, who will be the replacement as an out and out Number 1?. Bazunu could do with another loan, as I'm sure no club will buy him due to his contract and McCarthy is fine as a back up or injury stop gap in the Championship but nothing more.

The obsession with Jack Stephens not being good enough is bordering on unhealthy with some people. He has never been a top player but consider this, were Franny Benali and Jason Dodd top players? No, not really, but they were still an important part of the team. I'd rather somebody like Stephens who actually cares about the club play for us than the plethora of players in recent years who don't give a shit.

Just seen Carsten Jancker in Forbidden Planet. Here we go.

Seems like the type of profile we would be going for, huge, strong and fast.

Any idea when the away shirt will be announced? Guessing the week before the Brighton friendly

Got my tickets for the Wrexham game. Will be bringing my 4 year old for the first time! Was a bit of a faff having to register a 4 year old as junior member and getting him a supporter number but we did it. Very much looking forward to his reaction on the day.

Mystic Meg to announce the new kit then?

Not that it means anything but I'm a big fan solely due to the fact he was superb in a long save I did with Panathinaikos in FM...
