What’s the team?

It's those fellas running around in Saints kits...

Those bench options mean we can rotate out the wingers twice and still have enough attacking quality on the pitch to tear them a new one.

[Bad Wolf]

Would it be 25 though? Surely we can't count the Watford tie as two games. I know it is technically but feels a bit cheeky to count that when we only played the second game because we failed to win the first one.

Why?

Team unbeaten in 24, scoring goals for fun, keeping clean sheets, battering teams at home against team near the bottom who have just sacked their manager. Can see it coming a mile off.

So if we'd lost we wouldn't count it either by the same logic?

On such details records are made (or otherwise)

I'll admit I'm a bed wetter. Probably some subconscious insurance pride that if the worst does happen, I can say "I told you so!!!" as I pretty much said the same for Rotherham, Swansea and Plymouth.

Cheer up!

I'm guessing you were on of the "I'm scared, Man City could definitely beat us 9-0 in the last game" brigade from a few years back.

I also worry about jinxing it. But this is the best football Saints have played in ages. Maybe even my lifetime. If we play our best we win no matter what Huddersfield do. And it feels completely strange and wrong thinking that.

Had to have a good hard think about when you meant there. But I think it was actually 7 wasn't it? The swing needed? No, I think on that occasion I was relatively confident.

Ipswich late equaliser 2-2

[OttawaSaint]

Full time 2-2. Two more dropped points for Ipswich.

Full time 2-2. Ipswich drop more points. It's on us now to take advantage and open up that gap.

I'm usually pretty pessimistic after years of false dawns but when you look at the facts, 24 unbeaten, full squad, playing well and with confidence, strong bench, against a team riddled with injuries and not starting a striker, at fortress SMS - you have to say we look overwhelming favourites and even I am confident of a win. I have a very slight nagging concern they'll park the bus for the draw - but it's up to us to sort that. I'm definitely more worried about the next 2.

Quoted for future reference 😉

[Block 5]

One centre back on the bench. 

No full backs. 

This is a bit of a worry.....

Never for me 😞.  Mac and vpn (uk or foreign) tend not work on most streams.

Stephens and Charles can both play centre back or full back.

Agreed, it would be a tough call but I think Meghoma should be on the bench for one of the attacking boys.

When Bree is back you'd assume he'd make the bench over Dibling. 

[Saint NL]

Unlucky AArm, good work by Fraser

[OttawaSaint]

Great break there, unlucky!

[coalman]

That should've been a yellow

[Saint_clark]

Filthy challenge on Sarmstrong there. He knew what he was doing.

[coalman]

Our passing is a bit sloppy at the moment.

[Saint_clark]

Not giving Sarmstrong any time on the ball at all, tight in him instantly forcing him to face his own goal. Clear they see him as a big threat.

Their pressing is relentless so far, it won't stay like that.

[Doctoroncall]

Only goal in the 3pm KOs is Blackburn 1 up against Stoke.

[OttawaSaint]

man i love kwp

[Saint NL]

KWP just went by his man like he's not there 😂

[Saint_clark]

Leeds and Leicester both go a goal up.

[Colinjb]

Leeds and Leicester winning.

[Saint NL]

Huddersfield should have scored from that header. Not the best start by Saints

[coalman]

Lucky not to be 1-0 down there. 

[OttawaSaint]

Leicester 1 up...

[hypochondriac]

Huddersfield looking decent. By contrast we don't look ourselves. 

[coalman]

Baz out quickly there.

[Saint_clark]

It's early lads. Their adrenaline will fade and we'll get back into the swing of things.

[OttawaSaint]

Anybody see what RM was so upset about?

[Saint_clark]

Huddersfield being very deliberate with leaving the boot in well after the ball has gone.

Think they've decided to kick us off the park. Need strong refereeing here.

He had Leicester, Leeds and Saints to score over 0.5 goals in the first 15 minutes.

[OttawaSaint]

Adams rather quiet so far...

[saintant]

Slow start from us.

[Saint NL]

When did Huddersfield sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle? 😱
