Saint Charlie

Hope he can feature tomorrow, would possibly add a few to the attendance.

We need a different striker, Varney is too similar to Barnard and no better!

Could be that we will go 4-2-3-1 and Guly will replace Barnard in the starting team?

An Italian football journalist on twitter told me - " You would bet he can (succeed in l1). Talented player, he was the key to Cesena's fantastic season. Awesome technique and scores a lot too."

From the time he has spent in Italy I assumed he could have an Italian passport.

Sounds like he can play up front and as an att midfielder, 6'2 as well.

Yet.

Looks like a very strong midfield runner, would seem to be just what we are looking for!

Not Pardew's fault we missed some easy chances and their keeper pulled off some great saves. If one of those went in then Pardew would be safe for another week. Give the guy a chance to use the transfer window, he knows what he is doing.

Yeah the bench is key. Only 2 of the subs could have changed the game and AOC is so young. 3 players needed for me- striker different to what we have, pacy and direct wideman, central attacking midfielder who can dictate play.

If it is him Roma were interested earlier in the summer!

On another day could have been 5-1. Barnard hit 3 cracking shots and hit bar with header. Im not panicking, hopefully we add depth to the squad during rest of window and wins will follow soon. Jaidi has lost the plot though.

Have you heard something or just saying he would be good?

RIP Marcus. Saints legend. We didn't deserve you and you didn't deserve this. Should be the Marcus Liebherr St Mary's Stadium.

What was Seaborne like? Jaidi looked poor on Sat so maybe Seaborne will play on Saturday?

Pardew said anything?

Let Pardew bring people in and then judge him. The squad is weaker than at the end of last season and that might not be his fault.

Connolly can't really do 90mins Sat and Tues. No point risking him, he needs to be wrapped in cotton wool.

Be interesting to see how Chamberlain does. Pretty decent team we have out I reckon.

Come on! He really isn't!

Chris Wood, Kiwi WBA striker probably. Would be ideal backup to Rickie!

Can't believe people would rest so many players. Pardew won't- he needs results to keep his job and we need to get Bournemouth as their fans won't stop going on if we don't. Great opportunity for players to gain form and confidence. I would bring in Seaborne for Jaidi and Lallana for Dickson. Same team otherwise.

Well his title favourites got dicked 3-1 at home today after spending a lot more than we have. Gibson will be thinking of sacking him no doubt....

After the game they were disappointed that they lost a game they should have won, no point hanging around the centre circle. Does sound like he might have been told not to mention much on the transfer front. That is fine if behind the scenes they are working hard to bring the required players in!
