Cannot see him yet. But BBD is there. Flynn Will and THB are so much in their love triangle. 😁

[Convict Colony]

One thing i can say about lumley based on his few appearances, he can kick the ball better than Macca

Tall Paul is present. And easy to spot! 

[gio1saints]

Sekou gone back in. He had a lie down got up but I think it may have done something to him.
 

[gio1saints]

Jan present no RS though. Or Adz far as I can tell.

No.

[trousers]

Stewart must have had yet another set-back then as Russ said last week that he expected him to be back in training this week....

[beatlesaint]

Given Lallana was pulled out of the Eastleigh game due to “a slight issue” you would expect him to be up to a gentle workout in front of some fans tbh

I can't imagine for one minute that the club would underplay injuries to certain players.... no-sir-eee

[gio1saints]

Sry to say this but TP looks like Billy no mates. BK looks like a boss still! 

[gio1saints]

Tyler trains with Sam amo, bk with TP, Charlie with Shea JA with Sam E,  Flynn and AA with Will. 
interesting the groups. 

[gio1saints]

BBD about to show he can run. Gets round of applause for doing length of the pitch 😂. Not being nasty but he looks slightly timbersome to me. Maybe that’s why he’s the only one allowed to run pitch lengths.

Yuki looks like he really loves the ball. Juggling and doing tricks n generally playing with it. Most enthusiastic trainer today award goes to him for sure. Least to TP - watching him in Rondo was painful.

Somewhat unbelievably it's actually only two and a half months.

He played 7 minutes away at Leeds last day of the season, and then 18 away to West Brom in the playoff first leg.

[gio1saints]

It’s a pity AL and RS are that injured they couldn’t sign the shirts n merch for the kids like the others.

Fair enough I'd forgotten. Even weirder then that we aren't seeing any sight of him at all.

Pleased to see KWP with big smiles. Such a decent man really friendly really calm and kind with the crowd here.

That's how Martin describes loads of these injuries. Sometimes he will say it's a bad one but otherwise he downplays it and then you end up not seeing the player for weeks.

Sry that’s Paul Onuachu. Aka Tall Paul.  He did not come out to sign shirts but both KWP and BK did. As did a good dozen others from the squad.m including all thff Ed goalies, Flynn, Jack, Sam amo etc.  Make of that what you will. I’m just hoping that he ends up staying and becoming the German international centre back we thought we had!

Seeing that he was fit enough to be on the bench at Wembley, it makes you wonder what he's been doing in the last 2 months.

Yeah. Seems fairly obvious that we're not being given the full and/or true story at the moment (which is obviously the club's prerogative)

It might be that Stewart has a big injury set back which necessitates (even more so) the need for another one. If it was public knowledge then perhaps teams we approach will know this and assume we are more desperate meaning we end up paying more. So by keeping it quiet we be better placed in negotiations.

Fair point, although "keeping it quiet" is a fairly big giveaway that something isn't right.... Damned if we do, damned if we don't, I guess...

Wonder if someone is stupid enough to bid on Stewart, Maybe Sheffield United.

Would you have turned down a free ticket for the best seat in the house for the play-off final?
