As good a team as we could put out I guess, although I’d have gone for Archer over Armstrong, much better finisher. Glad Dibbing been taken out for a bit he’s not looked as good last few games but still decent off the bench 

5 at the back doesn't really suit him. He's at his best playing from the wing, based on what we've seen so far.

Yep had his best games on the right

Happy with the line up, Armstrong should work well with Onachu. Ugochukwu and Downes in central almost nailed on for a booking apiece but it's got some bite now we need the energy levels.

Just checking - Stephens has served his suspension now, right?

Found at the bottom of some steps, Nathan Wood at the top calling for help after he "slipped and fell".

It seems pretty obvious now, but how can you have a CF like Onuachu ....and NOT play him ?

And doesn't even make the bench in Juric's first game in charge.

Interesting.

He is out mourning his loss

Camera operators are very adept at picking out special looking fans.

TBF it’s hardly Sweden vs Colombia at the WC when it comes to the selection of eye candy.

[Saint_clark]

God that flag looks worse every time I see it.

[Saint_clark]

Wait, only just noticed the keeper, what's happened to Ramsdale?

[St. Ciervo]

Our midfielders have forgotten how to pass forward. Scar tissue.

Nothing? He's in goal.

[OttawaSaint]

Thumping it long.

[Saint NL]

Dangerous free kick, bit soft

I'd have an issue with that if it were AA on his own up top but with Onuachu it's not such a bad idea. As long as we mix it up and don't keep doing it.

[Suhari]

Fuck me. Crossbar.

Wtf, I must have pressed on the wrong thing on Prime, I was getting a replay of Chelsea v Saints.

[adrian lord]

A let off

[OttawaSaint]

All a bit frantic. Need to settle down a bit.

 

Edit: off the bar by WHU, big miss.

[Saint NL]

Verrrry lucky

[Chez]

KWP not quick enough to keep up Bissaka and they should score.

Five at the back leaves gaps down the side. Hate it.

[AlexLaw76]

Any streams ?

[Saint NL]

West ham look well up for this

[Gloucester Saint]

Very fortunate there, oceans of space, good pull back and should score really. 

[HKsaint]

Are we still playing Russball? 

[Chez]

Our fans sound really up for it...keen to support the new manager.

[Gloucester Saint]

Not at the moment.

[OttawaSaint]

We look like a team playing a preseason friendly. Bit of a confused mess. Players trying to adapt.

[St. Ciervo]

The midfielders are. Ramsdale is aware there was a change.

Half the players are, other half aren't. 

[Gloucester Saint]

Onachu has to score there.

[Suhari]

Great move.

TP has to score!

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhhh. Paul! Just wide.

[Wsaint]

Come on Paul, your a thousand feet tall just pop it in.

[John Boy Saint]

Oooooo - inches

[Saint NL]

Good moves needs to score

[pimpin4rizeal]

Any streams please my brothers ?

[benjii]

Guess what? If you get the ball into the box, you might score a goal!

[Chez]

How does he miss?

 

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh that's unlucky. So close.

[Saint_clark]

Wood really looking good for us. 

[OttawaSaint]

Ball slightly behind him I think. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

wow. One of those good moves I've seen in highlights from other teams. Could have scored, but optimistic we might get some more chances to do so.

 

[Saint_clark]

Yeah, that and the defender making contact just as he heads the ball to limit the contact he gets. Was good defending. 

[adrian lord]

Much better stuff, just the final ball failing.

[RedArmy]

For someone with such gifted technical ability, Fernandes’ first touch is shite. 

[Suhari]

I am being entertained.

What is this 'attacking' stuff we appear to be trying out?
