Baird of the land

Was about to credit pompey for a good result and then they blow it in the 97 minute

disappointing to see no charles after he seemed to play ok last time round

Hope we tell them no. not only would I like to see him involved this season but the whole Italian loan with option(really means no intention to buy whatsoever)

Odd running mate Harris has chosen imo. I thought she'd pick someone with a bit more profile who might help in the swing states like Shapiro.

BBD when he came on during the friendly was playing wide left. If that's where we intend to play him we'll need to source an actual first choice central striker.

Yeah very fortunate. Did sugawara switch off defensively?

Guessing we're going to sign their keeper Jenson tomorrow

How is that not even a booking (even in a friendly).

Commentator said he was warming up during 1st half didn't they

Diaz better be a good Che replacement or will our make believe footballer ever return

That was frustrating, downes bursting up the pitch and you've got dozy edozie ambling up lazily in support

Yikes i didn't realise how slow Taylor is

lol, I did think that when i saw it but since there wasn't a replay i wasn't certain.

Quite like the team apart from the inclusion of the atrocious Edozie

US wants to avoid a regional conflict apparently, so its sending a bunch of warships and fighter jets into the region. Maybe they should rebrand them peaceships and deescalation jets.

Very interesting(if true) I have found the complete radio silence on his religion very telling.

It's not a shock we've been using a more attacking formation against weaker pre-season games so far. I'd be disappointed if we aren't working on other approaches in training too & hopefully in later harder pre-season games.

We’ve also spent a considerable chunk on money on a first choice cb and a first choice cm.

532 definitely feels the best approach at the moment for the players we’ve got.

It's odd to me to call signing 7 players(so far) as sluggish

Think your logic is bizarre. A big money signing of their age would both long and short term exclude opportunities/competition. a loan or a veteran like Fraser i’d assume would be preferable from their point of view would be preferable as it at least offers much more a window of opportunity down the line.

Likely we'll play 3 at the back quite a bit, so he'll be third CB ahead of Wood and Edwards, at least in the short term

Sure it'll be Whipping up excitement

Let’s be honest it’s likely more because there isn’t a particular upside to guaranteeing her that oxygen burst of publicity at this point.

Agree completely. curious about what the actual strategy is as it has certainly not seemed about developing players to play for Southampton.
