Not done that since I joined something to do with Saints away support away travel back in the mid eighties. Anyone know if the coach quality has changed since then? Ie do they have usb sockets, wc facilities tv screens etc ? Or is it just the same old coaches ? Why on earth would you (or anyone) do that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CylonKing Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I'm in Nottingham and every football fan I've spoken to this week have stated they'll be rooting for Saints. Not much love for Leeds with Derby, Forest, Leicester or County fans here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Saint Keef said: ......or is Che back? or is Stewart back? I sincerely hope so, but lets be honest, anyone can show them kicking a football in training gear and say what they want in a presser to confuse the opposition. The guy I think we have missed more that anyone is Stuey Armstrong. It felt like he was getting back to his best. Has there been any mention of him? Russ specifically mentioned Stu, Baz and Larios as the only unavailable players. Agree Stu is a big miss but the balance of downes, Aribo and Smallbone has been getting better with every game.

He’s training but the last update Russ gave on him was he wouldn't be involved with match day stuff until next season.

Disco Stu Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Only part of the team that worrys me is the left back position. Manning against Gnonto scares me to say the least. They'll get a lot of joy that side. If we're playing Manning for his attacking threat, I'd rather put Ryan Fraser there as he'll have a greater impact on our forward play. He's been utilised as a full back at both Bournemouth and Newcastle. Edited May 24 by Disco Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA96 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Henrik Kraft has confirmed in an interview with the Daily Echo that Russell Martin will continue as Saints manager next season, regardless of which division we find ourselves in after Sunday's final at Wembley.

Miltonaggro Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 The Met have released this image of the current leader of the Leeds Service Crew so Saints fans can be extra vigilant on Sunday.
