Absolutely top bloke and a key signing whose goals kept us ahead of West Ham in the race for automatic promotion. Aside from the obvious two goals against the Skates, he also scored a brace away at the Posh which got us one leg in the door with two games left to play. Then he opened the scoring after a nervy first fifteen minutes against Coventry and suddenly all the weight was off our shoulders. Great memories for such a short Saints career. That said, if we are being brutally honest, he was never a PL player. Any remorse on that part would be purely sentimental rather than any great loss to the team on the pitch. Cortese was ruthless in a way in which we completely failed to be last time we got promoted. Sharp, Hammond, Hooiveld, Chaplow, Fox, Butters, Richardson and Kelvin all served us with distinction on our way up the leagues but were never going to feature much in the next step we took into Europe.

There doesn’t have to be, if you’re studs up, off the ground and out of control it can be a red. TBH I agree with that rule as it basically comes down to luck that you haven’t put someone in hospital.

After the Lord Mayors show…

I thought we looked ropey, even with eleven on the pitch. Azaz’s pass was the only moment of real quality.

A result which is completely overshadowed by Bragg being suspended for Norwich. 😔

Yep, great call that.

Only five minutes. I was expecting eleventy million.

Why is it the refs job to ‘manage’ Bragg, Azaz and Larin leaving their brains in their locker?

Just need Larin to get a second yellow for kicking the ball away and this game will be complete.

If anyone is good with video editing I think we need a slow-mo montage of him hugging Downes and talking in Mannings ear, with Careless Whisper playing in the background.

I disagree. Looks like he really, really, REALLY likes Flynn Downes.

This is, as David Walliams would say, bitty.

Stay out of the tiger enclosure.

Rohl delivered surprisingly good results given how much of a train wreck Wednesday were, getting the maximum out of the players available. It was enough to get him a job at Rangers, which is a job more on par with a decent Championship than a step up. Tonda will need to get into the hunt for the autos and stay there if he wants a bigger job at another club. Having one of the best squads in this league and finishing 6th or 7th isn't going to bring people knocking.

Throwing innocent Ukrainian lives under the bus to try and cover up the absolute sh*t show he's made of the world's oil supply. What a true American hero.
