Saint Billy

For me RM has to move away from some of the old guard. Early days I know but Dibling looks special and I was also impressed with Fernandes who looked sharp and composed unlike some of the regulars. We need a more positive approach and I cannot see the likes of Smallbone, Aribo, Stephens having it

Can I tell you at the end of the season

Aribo should kicked that ball out to kingdom come

Alcaraz must be off then

Ooh matron.

Only us oldies will get it.

That was the championship, this is the Premier League. We will regularly get destroyed with those tactics. I'm all for possession but not a couple of metres away from our own goalmouth.

RM's comments about Yuki: “He delivered a couple of really brilliant crosses but we’re playing against ten men. We wanted to bring a winger on the pitch". A bit strange considering he highlights two brilliant crosses.

Cheers 👍

I'll do a Trousers. Source?

Not as downbeat as some on here. I thought we put in a more than reasonable performance considering being the first game of the season against a fancied side. Time and time again I have seen many sides struggle against ten men so I will not gripe about that. Hopefully get a decent keeper in and a bit of time for the new faces to establish themselves and we might surprise a few sides. Only gripe is, why the hell was Yuki taken off, he was having a good game and getting some decent crosses in.

Shit, going for broke

Newcastle pressuring the tippy happy stuff at the back already

Has the Chelsea lad signed on loan yet?

Very rarely get excited about transfers now due to our restricted budget. The ultimate was Kevin Keegan. I suppose Gaston Ramirez got a little bit of juice flowing as he was a Uruguayan international with lots of hype about him but he was another amongst many that failed to deliver.

Well, many of these goals in the link would not be gifted in the prem, but he can head a ball thats for sure, plus he does display a couple of bits of skill for a tall lad. Maybe worth another chance and perhaps a bit of a longer run than he was allowed last time.

Another anti climax not worth the tissue.

God we have wasted some money on duds in the last few years.

Fair enough.

I take your point but it just smacks of England v Iceland before the Euros and Southgate played a second string side and then England looked a shambles come the important games despite the players knowing the system.

And your problem is?

Am I missing the bleeding obvious?. Why are we fielding a second string side in preparation for our first game in the prem with just one friendly left?.

Any chance of seeing highlights of saints endlessly passing the ball about and then losing possession.

We really haven't done well with signings from South America in the past. We haven't done much better with signings from Europe in the past apart from the odd one or two.

Ipswich have been out of the top tier for 22 years, no thanks.
