As you say Armstrong has not played particularly well since contracting Covid and seems badly in need of a rest and recuperation but Sheff U are a strong physical side and strong runners and Armstrong offers more physicality than Djenepo and will get stuck in in the midfield to help outs well a his attacking duties. For that reason I think he will get the nod over Redmond as well.
-
If you believe that you will believe anything. A preposterous notion.

We have no reason to fear the Blades, we are a much better side than they with better players in most positions. We have not performed well since the international break so our match performance can only get better and surely our automatism will click again soon. We should have too much pace for their defence based on how they have performed so far and we can score goals. I'm guessing we will win and win well, 4-0 if it all comes together with a home crowd urging us on for the first time in ages. No doubt Ings will start so chances are Hasenhüttl will start Walcott on the left and Armstrong on the right. Redmond looked a lot more comfortable on Monday evening when he came on but not sure he can displace Theo just yet. Cannot see a starting place for Djenepo sadly. Armstrong is undroppable at the moment because he brings some steel to our attack and we will need to graft a bit against their physical style. Rest of the defence as per normal.
-
Yeah but we're a top six side now so we get the refs calls, always was like this, always will be.
-
That'll do very nicely thank you. Good defensive work but attack lacked any real threat. Overall a lacklustre display. Romeu MotM for me.
-
It's not necessary to exclude either of our defensive dynamic duo, bring in Diallo for Armstrong. Seems a smart idea to me, Armstrong needs a rest to rediscover his mojo and Brighton are there for the taking.
-
One would have thought that this pre-match gesture had more or less run its course. What is needed now is action in the form of legislation to force the PL and FA to act.

Judging by the way the crowd was seated at Stamford Bridge yesterday, we can expect a Covid hotspot around the Chelsea/Fulham area in the next couple of weeks. Hope we can do better next weekend but using only the Kingsland surely increases the risks unnecessarily.
-
Stay away is my advice. The vaccine is so close at hand now so why take any risks. You've come this far on the journey safely so stay the course. We'll be back to something like normal next season and Ralph will still be here.
-
Heads you win, tails you lose. 2000 tickets, 15000 want them. Of course there are going to be few winners and many losers but why must losers always cry foul? It was hard enough for the Club to try and please everyone knowing that they could not. The way they have decided ticket allocation seems reasonably fair to me. Of course if you are a bad loser then nothing is fair unless you win. Come on lads, grow some and move on.
-
Very competent performance against a rather poor side. Bloody cold and miserably wet out there so hats off to the boys. No doubt Ralph would have been watching from the comfort of the Saints Box. Hope he liked what he saw.
-
Bit of a curates egg. BBC are so ingrained with Saints bashing that they still can't quite let their endemic hostility go. The Leicester game, the inevitable early exit of Ralph... and so it goes on. I'd rather they left us alone and let us get on with it but the Club likely takes the opposite view that any publicity is better than none and therefore good for the Club to attract new sponsors.
-
Are you stark raving bonkers? This is a local lad who loves the Saints as much as you and I, he won't be moving anywhere anytime soon. Wait and see!
-
Delighted. Honestly though, I could see no reason why he would want to leave here and never thought he would. These contracts take time. Anybody who leaves now might well be kicking themselves in a year or two's time.
-
Perhaps we've loaned him to Pompey for the rest of the season.... Exocet incoming 🏹
-
No it isn't, nobody outside the club has a clue why the lad hasn't featured so far.
-
What's in a definition eh? What is known is that some people take a very long time to be restored to full health and fitness after contracting c19. It is not black and white, the term long covid is not defined but used loosely to include a multitude of different recovery trajectories. What is clear is that Armstrong has not performed at his highest level since he contracted the virus so it is reasonable to assume a link.
-
I would rest Armstrong and bring in Diallo for his first start. Let's see what he can do. One wonders if Armstrong might have Long Covid.
-
We're home so it won't matter 😉
-
Probably Ron Davies
-
Yes but you will have to admit that if McCarthy hadn't kept us in with several crucial saves it they would have been well ahead long before that. We were staggeringly inept in defence after the break.
-
What a complete & utter load of tosh. If Hasenhüttl believes this kind of nonsense then the guy is becoming seriously delusional. Talk about clutching at straws for solice. We were beaten fair and square and I'm not sure they even broke sweat to pick us apart second half. Fact is Ralph you cocked it up big time today, we never looked like taking anything from the game even when 2-nil up and you had no answer to dealing with the changes that OGS made at HT.
-
Pathetic!
-
Second best all afternoon. We're missing the lift that Danny Ings brings to the team both in quality and morale. They bring on Cavani, we bring on Long - say's it all really, end of story. He was utterly useless as usual. Ralph seems blinded by certain players. What he sees in the lad is beyond me. Djenepo was at least a threat still.

Argentina in for a very rough time on the evidence of the mob gathering in Buenos Aires yesterday for his funeral. 60 far too young to leave the stage.
