Why the fuck did we bother signing Edozie? The fact that Ralph thinks Elyouseless deserves to start ahead of him is enough to get him the sack. 

Because they play different bloomin' positions for a start and Ely is a lot more experienced even if his lack of pace frustrates me greatly. If he did play Edozie, Mara, Dibling etc. it would be like lambs to the slaughter and people would be moaning about that. Anyway, it's good to see Adams starting and I'd certainly like to see him on the pitch at the same time as one of our pacy youngsters, and a bit of luck off his bum, nose, shin, knee, toe poke would do me..

Ffs just give Edozie a chance 

Too risky for Ralph. Edozie might attack and create but would he do the stuff that his manager loves?

Let’s be honest, when you look at that we deserve to be where we are. 

It's not a photo of Ralph.

Well, it’s the team which could have been 3-0 up at HT with better finishing, so unless you think Walcott or Mara are going to rectify that, I’m not sure why the facepalm.

The team that should have been 3-0 up was West Ham

How does Ely KEEP getting into the team?!

He does exactly what Ralph tells him to do.

You make it sound like it was a one way bombardment but West Ham probably had the better chances in the first half....

Loved Ely fuck up a 10 yard pass on Sunday that would have put Che in.

But still, he wins the ball back, supposedly.

[Killers Knee]

Maybe if Stu didn’t lose possession so often Ely would be redundant

He's the best player we have for taking kick offs. Might be called on a few times this evening.

 

[verlaine1979]

On balance, our team has better defensive quality now than attacking quality. So to be picking attackers for their defensive ability is insane. Elyounoussi isn't going to be the difference between us keeping a clean sheet or not, but he might be the difference between us scoring or not.

i give up, always the same forward, creative players who create fuck all.

Edit - please credit me when they score a load tonight

Looks like AArmstrong will be picking up the ball from our own penalty area again and running up the field to supply Adams and his concrete boots for a  Miss-kick at any given opportunity 

[StrangelyBrown]

Team selection looks ok to me. Can see the logic of not putting aribo and stuey in the same lineup - both are good on the ball and not so great winning it back. Although I would have picked stuey myself. Otherwise not sure what I'd do differently 

[Lighthouse]

Even if Edozie is better than Moi, and I’m not saying he isn’t, what would you expect us to do if he starts, Bournemouth make four second half subs and are all over us, like West Ham were? Armstrong is in no sort of form, Walcott is useless, Moi certainly isn’t going to change a game and Mara is as of yet unproven.

[CB Fry]

To be honest I don't have a problem with that line up. I don’t think we should just chuck all the kids in because they are new and exciting. We'd be just setting them up to fail. 

The problem is that the first team is not great whoever we pick.

Come on Saints. For us lot, do it tonight, please. 

I need a distraction. I want to hear footy news in the morning. Let me look forward to the next game, and not dread it. 

[adrian lord]

Feck it, am predicting goals goals goals tonight for us 4-1 win.

In reality it is poor line up as we all know, but it’s probably as half decent as could possibly be right now.

[aintforever]

Think it’s a mistake not starting Stu Armstrong, I don’t get how the others are keeping their place.

[Toussaint]

We are going to win tonight, it will be a good performance.

I'm still baffled as to how Stu Armstrong has gone from one of our best players & first name on the team sheet a year or so ago to someone who now struggles to make the starting 11. What's that all about?

[Psycrow]

Where can we watch this folks? Any streams? Is it on telly and I'm just being an idiot?

[Mr X]

3 wins in 22 no clean sheets this season equals a saints win tonight surely? 

[Psycrow]

Not on Amazon Prime in Ireland. Probably on Prem Sports, but the wife and kids have the TV. The stream above working a treat though

 

[Sheaf Saint]

Arma held onto that far too long.

Terrible giveaway by JWP.

[Mr X]

Both teams Competitive so far though we are losing possession in midfield a lot

[davefizzy14]

Get in Che, you beauty

[obelisk]

Adams scores!!

[Mr X]

Adams has learnt where the net is wahoo!

[Baird of the land]

Good play by Adams to salvage elyounessi's awful pass and then to pull off his man and finish.

[egg]

Nice goal. Lovely ball in, and neat finish. Ely did well in the build up too. 

[Colinjb]

Delighted to be 1-0 up, but it's difficult to get excited knowing how the second halves always go for us.
