Saint Charlie

But if Richardson isn't better.... Afterall Butterfield was a Championship regular last season. Richardson was league one. Both good players and give options but shirt is Butterfield's to lose at the moment. He lacks pace but is steady and decent on the ball.

Anyone put chants into the game? Is it easy?

Best display for a while! Passed the ball very well from the back, Seaborne and Fonte looked a good pair and well organised. Midfield was where we controlled it. Morgan and Hammond superb, got stuck in and kept the ball very well! Morgan especially was everywhere and drove forward well. Can't believe some don't rate him. Madness. Puncheon had his best game for ages, total effort and patches of great skill. Lallana a class act in this league. Barney works so hard and draws fouls expertly - signs of some nice link up with him and Rickie who put away the pressure pens expertly. His link up was nice, just tended to take an extra touch instead of thumping a shot in. Adkins will sort him out... Bournemouth played into our hands by actually trying to win. They were ok, but on that showing it is clear we are better, we just need to find consistency. Bench looked much stronger, we just need another striker, especially as Barney puts sommuch effort in he is knackered after 70. Will be tasty at Dean Court....

Dickson is actually immense running down the left. Barney also sharp. Saints quite fun to play with. Guly has a good shot on him, as does Lambert - who is also great in the air. Anyone know how you can edit squad numbers?

Sounds good! How is Guly? Is Chamberlain quick?

How do the Saints players seem in it? At all realistic in terms of attributes?

Tony Lynam is spot on. Leave NC alone and look at the good he has done. We have to trust him, and certainly shouldnt use rumour and half truthes to pick his actions apart. Nobody is ITK anymore, as much as some would like to be. Lets just concentrate on beating Bournemouth. If NC doesnt like Mitchell then fair enough, now lets just beat them!

Team I would pick and I think will be picked: ---------------------Davis---------------- Butterfield------Fonte-----Jaidi------Harding Puncheon-----Hammond------Morgan-----Lallana ----------------Lambert--------Barnard-------- Chambo or Guly on for Lallana after an hour or so.

He was a good passer so fits with NA's style, grabs a few goals too. Great chance for him to proove we should sign him in Jan

Normal for initial loans, can then be extended til Jan. Great signing, will start v Tranmere I reckon as Morgan away with France U21s. Hammond 4 bookings and Wotton injured....

Probably just needs a change. A low risk but potentially high gain loan signing.

Good passing midfielder who is box to box, yes please. Good attitude too. Creates good options for CM.

Is the online play good on this?

Not that far out I guess. Hopefully they play a bit like real life as in Lambo power shot, Morgan crisp passing and Holmes injury prone. Jaidi shocking at passing...

If you look further up Saints have said he hasn't been banned. More lies from Mitchell.....

Anyone who has the game...what are the Saints players ratings?

No thats Bueno, Spanish striker.

The Wilkins connection is there too, Chelsea do have some good youngsters now, would be nice to get a striker or midfielder on loan.

He shouldn't be picked based on 15 mins good play. He is seen everyday in training and we won the following game anyway so whats the problem. Would you bring Holmes on over Lallana? Really? Today instead of Guly who scored and hit the post? That was a brave call by Adkins and Guly has obviously showed in training he deserves a go!

Holmes is not that good. Subs made sense tonight and Guly nearly won it for us. Hit the post and bar, could easily have won. Man Utd drew with Bolton on Sunday. We wont win every game but have stopped losing. Two home games now so lets get behind the team and win both!

4 points from 2 tricky away games is fine - now win the 2 home games and its 5 unbeaten and 11 from 15 which is good. We are improving - only a penalty conceded from 3 games for a start.

We are closer to the top now than at this time last year.

Bench starting to look stronger. If there was a decent pacy striker on there would be near perfect!

Plus, Pitman scored loads in L2 but isnt worth what Bristol C paid for him. ALF may not be any better...

Sorry, iphone typing error. Sincere apologies. I meant he was good against us for Swindon at SMS, but Im sure you could work that out!
