Not a brilliant result, but Leeds are 3-0 down to Norwich after 60 minutes, so might work out OK.

Sure this the whole point of signing Bree. Clearly since NJ arrived the situation with Tino has got worse. I would suggest they think it unlikely now that Tino will play any significant part this season. Therefore with only 2 specialist FBs in the squad (ignoring Vokins and accepting AMN does not want to play there) we need some cover, not a starter, someone who can do a job. Jones knows Bree and trusts him and fee is minimal, sounds like a good idea all round. Has no impact on the signing of a striker.

Cover for Livramento who obviously is not going to play much/any part in this season. Low cost will do a job and not be too upset when Tino comes back. Seems sensible to me.

Surprised, but relieved, that CC did not lump him.

Diallo was not awful last night, he was actually very good. Think you weren't actually watching last night but just going on past performances. I was expecting him to be poor and was distinctly annoyed when he was named ahead of Lavia, but he surprised me.

Sounds to me like the ABK injury is worse than we thought. Bednarek will probably increase our og tally, that was certainly one of his strengths. But I understand he left because he fell out with Ralph so maybe a new start with new manager might work out.

Quick scan says we have 5 spaces (even allowing for Ollie Lancashire) sure this isn't an issue.

Because Tella didn't want to come back (allegedly) and on a season long loan that is his perogative.

Thought Moffi was going to Nice. I wouldn't take Ings back in a heartbeat, he isn't the player he was the season before he left, 13 PL goals in 1.5 seasons with Villa even if not injured is not exactly scintillating. Always liked Ings but players do actually get worse towards the end of their career.

Not sure I agree but at least use a decent song 🙂

Thank goodness for that, not sure we have the spare capacity in the treatment room. Ings is well past it, we did well to get shotn of him when we did. He has been brilliant the season before.

What sort of dictionary are you using? Perfectly common word, primarily in accounting but in general in English.

It really means from outside the capital (London) but more broadly in football it refers to clubs outside the main football cities, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Brum.

Top of the League on GD, though Leeds do have a game in hand.

Groin. His legs have not gone.

Looked very happy with being at Saints last night, interaction with JWP and NJ). There will always be speculation about our best players but there does not seem to be much evidence that KWP wants out.

Jake Vokins back at Southampton, loan at Woking cancelled.

What sort of a Saints fan manages Skates Reserves? 😉

Possibly because he is injured. Reported as like Tino some way off returning before the Lincoln tie. Thought Larios looked more than decent before his injury, if a little lightweight.

You're crazy. People who judge players on lack of assists really have no idea. You can't get an assist unless someone scores, we don't score goals (from open play), hence no assists. KWP is arguably our best player, losing him would be a serious problem, but to be honest who can really blame him if he wants to go.

Season will be nearly over before he starts, given he is probably on 3 months notice.

Maybe even the Skates. It's funny, I know it is but I never really think of Southampton as really being on the South Coast. Something to do with Southampton Water I suppose.

So they are at Boscombe or Brighton, or maybe one at each.

Or maybe he is having a follow up scan, perhaps the first one was inconclusive (it happens, scans don't always work perfectly) or maybe they needed any swelling to reduce before they could get an accurate picture of the damage.
