I thought we wanted them hungry? Or am I getting confused.....?

Sorry - attacking......??

I see this a lot on here. Is this true? It's a genuine question btw.

I was prepared to give him the Championship season to demonstrate the value for the multi-million outlay, having had a baptism of fire in the Premier League at such a young age. But having watched all the home games last year, and a fair few aways (and then watched all the long form highlights in the summer), I'm struggling to remember many (any?) games where we only got something out of it due to the keeper - apart from Preston away but I don't mean that type of impact. And there were a number of games where I thought how on earth did that go in - Rotherham, Watford, Ipswich and Millwall to name four off the top of my head. Hopefully he can regain fitness and then demonstrate he's improved, or Russell can buy him for £15M when he pitches up at Norwich in the summer.

Do we know if he can play up front? I'm guessing the fact that he's got gloves on means possibly not.....?

I've quite enjoyed a little diversion away from the Saints-related-6-points-by-February depression on here. Can anyone recommend a weekend break in February? Me and the missus are thinking of going somewhere in Eastern Europe.....

Help me out here as I'm not too sure how these complicated deals play out - does that mean we pay them £10 mill at the end of the season to take him off our hands (and significantly reduce the catering bill at Staplewood in the process)?

Would love to have a go at doing one of those but I've limited Photoshop skills unfortunately. It was Photoshop wasn't it? Is there a tutorial on YouTube you can send a link to so that I can try and work out what you did there?

About £120K

I was actually referring to running out of steam in recent matches under Juric, due to the higher intensity and work rate. Under RM I dont remember us running out of steam, I just remember needing to score deep in stoppage time in a few games - and passing free-kicks backwards.

I missed the game so can't comment on the performance unfortunately, but you raise a good point Chez. Did we play the same man for man marking system all over the pitch as in previous Juric games last night? If so (and I thought this during the West Ham game) then the players are going to run out of steam in the second half of matches. So it's back to fitness again. There's been much talk on here about fitness levels not being what they should be (and yes the eyes don't deceive when at the games) but do we know anything definitive on this other then it being another opportunity to bash the previous manager? Goals conceded in the last 15 would feel like one worth looking at. I note we had the same problems under Ralph.

Hopefully Wellington boots it forward early rather than playing round at the back. Sorry if thats an old one - havent gone back and read from the start.

If true then yet again poor and weak decision making from SR. It should have been done 30 mins earlier after the 3rd goal went in....

I didnt think we were bothering much with that this season. Wasn't it all about the vibes and the moments...?

Frannie Benali and James Ward-Prowse to name but two. (I've discounted FB's loan spell at Forest and as soon as JWP left us I declared his career officially over in my mind. If ever I met him I would tell him that.....).
