Charlie Wayman

…but they are all playing regularly under Jones. Seems your prejudices are not in vogue since Floppy left.

Doubt it. If he can't get a start for Villa then why on earth would we want him here. Staplewood is not a MaCarthy & Stone sheltered retirement home.

Problem solved, JWP is our new striker! Realistically no striker is going to match his tally of goals this season.

We beat Man City on their current form without a quality new CF signing.

They seem to be the three favourites for the drop, I've had WHU & Bournemouth for ages along with us but we seem to be recovering under Jones.

Jones was very quick to praise Ruben Selles at the final whistle as can be seen right at the end of the highlights video. Must be a very good reason why he made such a public show of affection. Good too that Selles as the outsider has so quickly proved his worth in Jones's set-up, perhaps we will get he best of both worlds. Wonder if the tactical changes after HT giving us a more attacking presence with Lavia further forward and Diallo in a holding role were down to Selles. Not all positive 'though as we suddenly became far more open at the back and the Toffees were through on our goal a number of times before we put the game to bed.

What?????? Back in your box genius.

It's a tough ask but if we put out the team that overran City and put the same boosters in their pre match Red Bull then we may have "wins". A long time since I looked forward to a match as much as this. I'll settle for a point at 0-0 but will be delighted with a 3-0 win

It was always assumed that Hasenhuttl was a genius at developing young players and getting the best from them although in retrospect there is little evidence of his success at doing so. Ely always showed glimpses of talent but until recently never got the chance to settle in the team and prove his worth. Now he seems to improve with every game. He was always good off the ball and now his on the ball skills are beginning to have an impact on team performance. Although he had only a cameo role in the defeat of Man City, he seemed able to ghost past players in midfield to set up attacks with ease. There is more to this man than meets the eye and it may be that Jonesey (;-) ) might just have the knack of finding the switch that sets this guy free. I am not only not surprised that Ely might be offered a new contract but am personally delighted.

Kevin Keegan?

Just not being. Shearer, Wright or Jenas makes him a very good pundit.

He probably has similar thoughts about you?

Lots of Humble Pie on menus today up and down the country. The forum’s favourite whipping boys Djenepo, Diallo & Lyanco seem to know what they’re doing after all. Apparently that waste of space Mara can play a bit as well.

Quite. No longer a question of who was that Charlie Wayman bloke, who was Mick Channon?

Yet the French have this annoying habit of winning the odd World Cup?

Don’t forget the Maya Yoshida link. Expect one or two from Japan’s World Cup side to come on board.

Bloody hell! How big do you think England is? He can commute from Manchester and see the family at weekends. It's not as if he will last very long.

That's ruled us out on two counts then.

Ah! but is he fit to wear the shirt and do you want to see him in a Saints shirt again?

About bloody time!

Utter garbage

Grannies they may be but they made the effort to go up there and stand in the pouring rain to support our team. They are stars!

Whoops there goes another rubber tree plant.

Extraordinary claims being made by @Pilchards & @St Louis, are they really insiders or indeed are they club employees? I wouldn't get your hopes up too high lads, nobody up top has the guts to admit they were wrong about Jones so chances of him being sacked as many would like are close to zero. Bookies odds suggest nothing is imminent.

Keep getting the digs in my friend despite the fact that he has been our outstanding player of late.
