Taking the should he have saved the first goal or not argument out of it, it seems typical that for 2 league games in a row one of the oppositions few shots on target have been so accurately placed just inside the far post. I know that it’s all about what ifs but if those shots had only been a foot wider the last 2 results and points accumulated would be so different (we shouldn’t have allowed them to get into those positions though). P.S. do we know why Will was so angry after the final whistle with the opposition management team.

No they SHOULD do the draw THEN the post match reaction/interviews but they always do it the other way round. Hundreds of thousands of other team supporters are waiting for the draw.

I’ve lost Sky connection to the match Reloaded ok now

Saints have got transfer disfunction at the moment which makes it difficult.

Has anyone shared with SR the shelved plans for the Monkey, Chicken Petting Zoo. It would complement this new leisure entertainment initiative with an additional revenue stream. Has anyone still got a copy of the plan?

Managers / coaches more often than not like to keep their other keeper match sharp by playing them in League cup. It will be interesting whether WS goes down the route of major changes to the starting lineup or a few changes to keep the core of his preferred team to gel. He will obviously also have an eye on the team he wants to put out against Ipswich.

McCarthy in goal, Manning and Archer or Stewart who came on today starting + other subs not played today?

Come on Saints, it’s not just about today’s result but setting the scene and gaining confidence for the season ahead.

There’s 2 other matches kicking off at 12.30 on Sky+ so those will be included as well in the 11.00 build up. As you say though I expect it will include disproportionate coverage of the Wrexham ‘story’ 🤮

Thanks for the link I was struggling to find it. Televised press conference wasn’t long , just answering Blackmores questions for 8 minutes before I presume press questions off air.

Wrexham is a club that I have interest in coz my wife and family are from there. If you put to one side the media circus of Hollywood they are a solid historic club who have been through a tough few decades. The sheep sha**ging banter is all a bit cringy ( like a lot of chirpy chappy predictable banter) but seems to amuse some supporters. Anyway I predict a 1 - 1 draw. Really hope Wrexham don’t win to bring a downer and sap momentum to the start of Saints season and also feeding the media frenzy for them.

My son got a ticket after logging on at 9.30. He couldn’t select a seat but got auto select row B Northam block 41 👍
