Baird of the land

Trying hard not to break my new year's resolution of pre judging transfers but saints are making it hard

Can’t bednarek move happening, especially with that lowball fee.

Shame that’s he’s leaving. 2 years of barely playing will do that. Time will tell if we’ll end up viewing him as a missed opportunity.

If we got our money back I’d be fine with him leaving. He was central to the Martin system, but seems much less impressive once we’ve gone away from that.

ABK must no longer be a footballer.

Ipswich’s goal was a terrible defensive error. Kind of par for the course for 2 bad teams to make errors. At least we were clinical.

See on the echo juric said he told the players they have training tomorrow. None of this days off malarkey.

I think it’s because an old fashioned target man isn’t very sexy.

Disagree I thought he did a pretty good job of holding the ball up. What we need to do is react better together around him for the 2nd ball.

Yeah don’t get the Everton fan contempt for moyes. also see bbd scored. Maybe a step closer to a sale in the summer.

Glad he’s got the monkey off his back with a win.

What’s this weird not losing thing about. great fight in the 2nd half. Aribo looked quite good as a cb. lovely to see onachu first 2 react to that rebound. Welington looks like he might be a real steal.

Wellington looks bright. It’s one of the nice things about wellington he hasn’t got the memo that’s it’s wrong to try and cross the ball yet. hopefully juric does something about defence at ht, can’t carry 2 passengers in tbh and bree.

THB has looked atrocious so he wouldn’t be much of a loss today.

What is bednarek doing there

Welington to stomp all over them

What an awful 2 yr deal that seems now. When I saw him in preseason I got that sinking sensation, in that he looked nothing like the version of the player from the dyche moyes days. Getting him temporarily off the books would at least be a start.

Honestly thought he was pretty solid yesterday. He's not worth the fee we paid for him but few of our players are. Just needs lots more aerial delivery into the box.

He's not getting sacked this season

Other thing that annoys me about the penalty award is that Isak clearly has hold of aribo's shirt

See he got an assist in their win. hope we haven’t damaged relations with him from our petty antics and we’ll get to see him play for us next season.

Thought that was a decent display against a very good team. Next week is going to be the big test. i’d still like us to look to get the ball into the box more. would love to see how the game would have enfolded if they hadn’t been awarded that disgraceful penalty by var.

Did That’s what I wondered. It looked like it brushed his hair.

Pretty positive half. Slightly frustrated how little we crossed the ball until late. Isak is real threat and took his 2nd nicely. still fuming about the penalty award.

So looking forward to not having to deal with var. a really tough task made impossible by a system desperate to award them a goal
