That parry by Baz was all you need to know about him. He's fucking putrid!

Good save I thought... Tried to push it away from danger

When did we last score from a corner? We have a set piece specialist but seem useless at them...

What nonsense. Djenepo clearly tried to stay on but medical staff forced him off.

Get ta fuck. Started walking towards the Itchen hospitality at one point. 
 

Heads completely gone since the telling off. Played on that ‘concussion’ tenfold.

Odd first half. Most of the team are actually playing alright, but really struggling for an out up top, despite Mara looking very lively. Orsic and Djenepo were very poor and Diallo in midfield a complete liability. Other than that, we're playing alright. Shame Alcaraz got a booking early, as he is a super looking tenacious player, something we've desperately lacked since losing Romeu.

Moussa not fancied it since the bollocking. 
 

Played on it massively to come off. 

I mean, it’s probably done saints a favour that he’s gone off. But he got run into at full pelt by a 6’3 lump, and it looks like there’s at least a possibility he’s concussed. Personally I think I might give the lad the benefit of the doubt while he gets himself assessed.

Some good play, some not so good. Just sums us up. Overall we need to be better in possession, giving it away too cheaply. Too many backwards passes too.

Standouts have been Diallo, Alcaraz, Salisu and Mara who have been putting a shift in. Salisu has nullified Almiron superbly.

Orsic has been a bystander. Trippier has been causing him problems going the other way too. Lyanco brainfart trying to nick the ball in front almost cost us (does this at least once a game).

Would look to get Che (beside Mara) and Edozie introduced if we dont see any improvement in the final third

Hmmm... lots of replays of their disallowed goal...every one of them clearly showing it hit an arm... but the commentator reamins unconvinced...right...

Its obvious that these commentators want to see Newcastle in the final.  As far as sky are concerned we are simply making up the numbers.

I think Alcaraz and JWP should swap. I know getting JWP closer to goal has been the plan recently but we’re desperate for composure coming out from the back and Alcarazzamatazz looks more attack minded.

I agree with this. Alcaraz has an incredible shot on him.

Disappointed with Orsic so far - he's playing in no-mans land in that he's neither getting forward or helping Sailsu deal with Trippier and Almiron. Alcaraz and Mara have had decent moments. We should be getting a free kick for Pope poleaxing Djenepo and he should have been booked.

Don't really see that. His passing lets him down(made a fantastic interception then played a really sloppy pass) but he's been decent in terms of tackling/intercepting today.
