I agree that when it went well it could be brilliant to watch. But the frustration lies in when its 0-0 or you are 1 down and time is running out yet the team are still passing sideways and back. For me Russball depends far too much on how comfortable your players, defenders in particular, are on the ball. Problem is as you get lower down the pyramid they become less and less comfortable. Leicester should have enough quality even after selling some to get back up, but I dont think it will be plain sailing and without Russball causing more than a few frustrations along the way.

Thats a good point. The Championship is a long hard slog for players, especially if you happen to have a bit of a cup run in either competition thrown in for good measure. Maybe he realises his body just isn't up to it. In which case he's virtually nailed on to go back to Scotland to finish his career. Anyone who hpoes he gets injured needs to take a look at themselves ffs.

Just seen the minutes from the last Fan Advisory Board meeting held on 11 May and that says new shirt release will be July/August due to front of shirt discussions, or words to that effect. So may have to wait a week or two for that

Christ knows why he was left on the bench until the 75th minute, crazy decision

That is a shame, Alfie House confirming it was the players decision. Thats effin poor given the use he's had of Saints medical facilites......actually its piss poor 🤬

I wonder if his brother will go with him after his short spell at Watford

I do wonder if the "give us one more year" thing plays out with players like Jander and Leo. If we go up then happy days, if not and the right offer comes in thanks very much off you go.

We'll find out if he's still here next season.

umm, dont get me wrong I absolutely love Ross Stewart but dont forget the club who paid a lot of money for you and got you through those dark days Ross.

To be fair he was better than Kelvin Davis at protecting his near post......low bar admittedly 😂

I really cant work out how this will play out. Either most of the teams in League 1 will hit it long and have a striker run past RM's troublesome almost non existent defence or they'll get so bloody bored watching pass-pass-pass-pass they'll end up comotose and let a few in at the other end.

Tbh I agree, can’t say I’m greatly looking forward to seeing him back next season but last season he certainly stepped up, and that’s coming from someone who has never been a fan of his.

The only question is where ? 😂

JWP - am I right in saying he hasnt score a direct free kick since he left Southampton ? If so Blackmore's "machine" description has developed a fault.

I dont think we'd be wanting a ridiculous amount, just get him gone ffs.
