It was certainly interesting that during the weekend friendlies in Münster, Bragg played in the early closed doors run out for the stiffs whereas O'BW lined up for the "first team" alongside Flynn Downes. That doesn't sound like he will be treated as a fringe player this season

"He of faint heart never won fair lady!" We are going to walk this league - even Flynn Downes thinks so. Well hammer the Hammers, hunt down the Wolves and finish off the Clarets in one swig.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Whatever he's on should definitely be on prescription.

We all love THB but this is real leadership, maybe this is the guy who should be wearing the armband?

No point in having a rules based sytem of governance if one can decide which rules to follow and which ones can be ignored because there is no enforcement or consequences.

They've all dried up in the heatwave.

Apart from Downes, Scienza & Matsuki, there isn't the look of a Championship winning side there. Bree was awful, hope he wasn't a one season wonder. Shouldn't get too many offers for THB on this showing.

I was at Wembley in 2012 for the Women's Olympic Final between Japan and the USA when he was booed by 90,000 fans when he appeared on pitch for the award ceremony.

Carbon copy of Blatterer, let's hope he will face the same fate

Who will offer him more, he's mde of glass and a huge risk for anybody that takes him on. Football is not a charity.

What makes you think Stephens is a good leader?

Why challenge every poster with a question? It's cheap, adds nothing to the dicussion and just gets their backs up. Why not rephrase your opinion e.g; "I don't believe that has happened before under the current recruitment team" Far more positive and other posters might warm to you.

He and me both, time to bin Stephens and give the younger palyers a chance… and absolutely yes, give the armband to Taylor, a born leader which Stephens most obviously isn't

Spending loads of money doesn't equate to performance on the field as we have discovered in the past. I doubt the Championship will look much different this season to last in terms of competitiveness, the important thing to remember is that clubs at the top of the Championship are just as good as those at the bottom of the PL. Wolves, WHU & Burnley were relegated because they weren't good enough for the PL and there is no reason to suppose that they will be magically transformed into clubs that can dominate the championship. Saints have the momentum and the frustration of last season's unfortunate ending. They have a much better chance of getting off to a flying start than most others. I've claimed before that we will walk the league this season provided that we don't lose any of our key players in the transfer window or Eckert doesn't get kicked out of football for the season.

Shame on you
