To paraphrase: "Maybe can do a job for us there if Armstrong is having trouble staying at the club." Maybe a throwaway comment, but a concerning thing to hear from someone like Blackmore.

Minsk Posted 25 August, 2021 Share Posted 25 August, 2021 I know it was only against Newport but 8-0 is very impressive, especially as we made 9 changes ourselves (as I predicted, just got Long/Broja wrong). Really pleased to see: Moi bag a hat-trick (but don't think any would have gone in against any prem keeper bar, probably, Macca) and put in a decent performance with a couple of nice assists; Broja get off the mark with a brace (2nd was very well taken) on his debut; Tella, Redders and KWP to also get off the mark for the season; Fraser keep another clean sheet (not that he had a save to make); KWP showing (again) that he can put a shift in at LB. So that's 5 of our FWDs/AMs on the scoresheet in the first 3 matches, with another 'making' the own goal on Sunday (which I would have credited him with). It also sounded like Valery had a fairly decent match as well, so we should now be well stocked/covered in the FB positions. Interesting that Walcott replaced JWP in CM. Don't really ever see him doing that in the league; clearly Romeu and JWP first choice with Diallo, Stuey, Smallbone and the Gorilla as back-up. So should be alright there as well. Only leaves CB and GK as worries; that said, I have liked the look of Jack Stephens and Salisu thus far (apart from an error each at Goodison, but all CBs make them). And GK is only a worry for me as Ralph won't make FF his 1st choice. Draw for next round not too bad. Would have liked a home tie, but it could have been a lot worse. Certainly winnable, probably even with the same starting 11. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a bit sorry for him, was behind his goal in the first half and he looked like he'd won a fans competition to get a game, obviously great to win and see a record result but I think Newport made some changes and never believed they could compete, or perhaps our early goal had that affect. Considering our first three league away games are not great for results / travel was nice to have this one and take a decent following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints have won 6-0 four times, at Carlisle in 1977 in the Second Division, against Wolves in 2007 in the Championship, against Oldham in League One in 2011 and against MK Dons in this competition in 2015. 9 hours ago, Dr Who? said: I know, what was I thinking with only 5! I must be one of a small bound of fans that was in attendance at all of those 6-0 away wins, as there certainly weren’t many Saints fans at Carlisle, so feel lucky enough to have been their to see us beat that record last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody thinks they can get a place in the first 11 and are making the effort to be there: long may it continue. I don't think we'll be so worried by injuries this season either with that backup.

macca155 Posted 26 August, 2021 Share Posted 26 August, 2021 You can only play what's in front of you, and Saints showed their class. I think Newport were a bit overawed and it was good to see Saints being ruthless for once. Absolutely obvious that there is more competition for places now. KWP, Redmond, Elyounoussi and Diallo were excellent. Clearly up for the challenge and knocking at the door now. Valery seemed to get stronger as the game went on, and tracked back well when they had a rare attack. He's really bulked up and had a good attitude. Good to see Forster and Walcot didn't have good games. I can't see McCarthy being replaced on that performance. Good turnout from Saints fans and in good voice. However was it really necessary to have a go at their fans and ground. Newport are a club that has only just clawed it's way back into the league from oblivion. They had a lot of kids there just excited about seeing a Prem team. Be nice to think we could show a bit more class sometimes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
