Saint Fan CaM

Not unhappy to see a player go that refuses to play (if that’s true), but as our best CB (not difficult) it’s all about the replacement(s). Schlotterbeck has made a big difference but a new right-sided CB better than Stephens and Woods is essential to our promotion push. Think £30m is a good deal for Villa based on current player sales and THB’s potential in a better defence, but he’s not irreplaceable.

Deserves a new showing, but perhaps not on this thread! 😂

Mmm, don’t see the rough pencil sketch i meant in that article atall. The one I remember definitely had SMS with an ‘extension’ and the infamous petting zoo. I wish I’d saved a copy - someone surely has it saved somewhere?

Absolutely this - he might be decent from the middle of the park but he’s a shite defender and has cost us on many occasions. Primary job of a LB is that he defends, which Manning doesn’t do well and why in a back 4 I’d much rather see Welington, who can attack but also has a better engine to track back. I watch Manning go walk about with complete shock sometimes - like on Saturday when he waltzed over to the advanced right hand side of the field literally taking up Fellows position - WTF?!

Yes, but it falls back in line behind the sketch of the new look SMS with the monkey chicken petting zoo.

I REALLY hope so - this guy is the real deal, can even cook at Prem level. Better than the bird man and more suited to what we need. I’m suddenly getting excited by the possible no.1 CB pairing we might end up with - a new era Killer and Claus?

After the first 20 minutes a really great performance and so much more composed. The back four needs sorting out though…as an urgency!

WTF is the Ref stopping the game because their player is off the pitch ffs

Stephens on and…yep they nearly score

Pleased for Fellows

Dobbin on

Tonda’s subs forcing oppo changes - love that.

Brilliant goal - made by Azaz

Matzuki has had a decent game

Pen to Saints - JWP?
