We shouldn’t be playing 5 at the back away at Cardiff.

It’s three at the back in reality surely.

Gonna be eye opening. I fear a Gillingham repeat.

A team packed with goal scorers 🙂

[Saint Matty 76]

Looks a lot of fun on paper, hopefully there's a stream.

Lots of exciting dribbly players, not much end product.

Well a deal for Tall Paul must be close given that then !

No place in our side for goalscorers.

On streaming service over here in America (Paramount+) so pretty sure you should be able to find something!

Surely Manning is off since he can't even get into our reserve team.

It is on Sky Sports/Now TV

Better than the lineup in the Saints app

Taylor dropped Manning down the pecking order for left back on the day he signed.

In the past the 'Red Button ' games didn't work on NowTv.

Have they changed that?

Cynic 🤣 Russ said on Solent, he’s our goal scorer in waiting so obviously being held back for league matches 🤣

[Sheaf Saint]

Larios on the bench eh?

Had almost completely forgotten about him. 

[egg]

Decent line up imo, and not far from what I'd have gone with, although I'm surprised not to see one of BBD or AA starting and the other on the bench.

Nice to see that Lallana and ABK are still alive.

Yes, and then KWP staying and playing LB pushed him even further away.

[Master Bates]

Easy Saints win

[Saint NL]

Akachukwu and Ugochuckwu both on the pitch at the same time will be a commentators nightmare

[saintant]

Can see us putting in lots of crosses to nobody in particular with this line-up.

Nah. Archer playing up top, Dibling and Fernandes pushing up, one of the full backs at least at a time, and the other winger coming in. 

Assuming it's the 433 it looks like, this is much more like the shape we should be playing.

Yep!!!

Looking forward to seeing both of them. Akachukwu apparently has something about him, and nice to see him get a chance. 

[Guest]

It’s on Sky Sports Plus for those that are interested.

I don’t think you can pick via Sky Go though annoyingly so I’ll be restricted to the radio 😊

2-1 win I reckon

ABK being on the bench implies he isn’t going anywhere as of this time

[saintwbu]

Wonder if ABK on the bench is partly to send a signal that he is fit and well, should any clubs be interested..

Big Joe Lumley the enforcer taking on all comers

At the pub with the sound off. Why are they drawing balls with A and H out and they appear to have done half a draw.

[warsash saint]

Any working links??

[Jonnyboy]

Going for three losses in a row eh Russ?

We really don’t have anyone else like Dibling.

Dibling aside noone looks good at the moment!
