Scienza

I must admit that I was absolutely baffled when we took him in loan. His parent club Mallorca could not get him out of the door quick enough and i had never seen him do anything of note when he did play for them...and i watch a lot of Spanish football. However i absolutely love the bloke because he gives everything and has done since day one. Total credit to the Saints staff who have been working with him to get his fitness levels up and Tonda that asks him to play a certain way. He really is fast becoming a bit of a cult hero.

yup i can go with that, i'm just disappointed to see him on the bench.

Interesting leaving Scienza on the bench. If he is fit it makes little sense, he is by far the one player who creates chances and scares the shit out off the opposition. Not convinced by Edozie.

fully expecting a very tough game against a very physical Wrexham side that will try to stop us playing football. Need Flynn to keep his head tonight and for us to take the chances we create tonight. A draw wouldn't be a bad result but really want 3 ahead of Saturday and what will be another very tough game.

i'm guessing we will be playing on the Sunday given that our tie was drawn second yesterday, just a guess

Arsenal fans reaction, this is priceless!

loved his post match interview, he is so focused and already thinking about Tuesday. Those eyes pmsl

I think Stewart will be involved tomorrow , they won't risk Scienza

one of the worst performances by a ref i have had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing last night. I was fully expecting him to award Norwich a penalty, he seemed desperate for them to score in extra time.

I knew this would be a tough game after our heroics against Coventry and the ref certainly did his part in making it a lot tougher than need be. He was absolutely awful, let them get away with absolute murder. Flynn Downes was rightly subbed because he was getting so wound up by the ref he would of ended up getting red carded. The atmosphere in the ground was bloody awful, what the hell is wrong with our home support, it felt like i was sat in the middle of a library not at a football match. An awful game to watch which was partly down to the ref not being stronger with their players and us deciding once we scored that that was it and just defend for the entire second half. Great defensive performance but not good for my heart. Peretz absolute class, Azaz very good and Larin just gives everything. Not pretty but 3pts and thats the only thing that matters.

2-1 now!

If we get to the playoffs and win a return to the Premier League then Leo stays at Saints. The only reason in that scenario that he doesn't stay is that a top 6 side come in for him and we don't stand in his way. As much as i love him i don't think a top 6 side would come in for him.

wow i'm gobsmacked if Leo is ok, i was convinced by the pain he looked in that he would be out for weeks. Delighted if he's actually even just on the bench!

I'm not sure anyone is under estimating how hard Wednesday night will against a Norwich side very much flying at the moment. We cannot afford to be anything less than 110% ready for this. I agree Norwich will want the 3 points as bad as us and will feel they can make the playoffs. Every game is now almost a must win scenario.
