Match Reports
Brighton Hove Albion Away Lost 3 – 1
Maitland-Niles’ current form (most recently out of position at left back, to be fair) meant a return for Bree at Brighton, so instead we had Walker-Peters out of position at left back; no-one to blame for Perraud’s absence, but we don’t make things easy for them, do we? Further forward, there was no sign of […]
Fulham Home Lost 0 – 2
A start for ‘Tall Paul’ Onuachu against Fulham – well, nothing else seems to be working. For the opening 20 minutes or so, his first touch was embarrassing, but he did contribute what was to be his side’s only shot on target – an unlikely effort from long distance and an acute angle that just […]
Nottingham Forest Away Lost 4 – 3
With push rapidly giving way to shove, Sellés decided that on a wet night in Nottingham, Adams was a better choice to lead the attack than the Alcaraz ‘false nine’ experiment. Other than putting the ball anywhere near the net, things weren’t going too far wrong early on as Saints dominated but then Nottingham Forest […]
Newcastle Away Lost 3 – 1
Five changes to the team as they set about gaining an unlikely result at Newcastle, mainly to accommodate a move to three-at-the-back, and with Djenepo and Walker-Peters deployed as wing backs. There was a scare for the big bucks team in the opening minute, but poor final execution after Sulemana got himself into a dangerous […]
Bournemouth Home Lost 0 – 1
Manager Sellés seems to be keeping everyone on their toes by springing the occasional surprise, and against Bournemouth it was to replace Bazunu with McCarthy. One of the reasons the game is so popular is that it’s easy to seem as knowledgeable as the pros, but the reality is that the coaches get paid so […]
Arsenal Away Drew 3 – 3
To push the metaphor to its extreme, the curve ball that was thrown at Crystal Palace by including Aribo had been hit out of the park, but Rubén tried a similar ploy at Arsenal by selecting Adam Armstrong. Maybe Ramsdale was still laughing as he played the ball away, but only to Alcaraz who returned […]
Crystal Palace Home Lost 0 – 2
There was enough promise in our ‘no forwards’ ploy to continue with it for Crystal Palace‘s visit, especially with Adams still unavailable, but Rubén also sprang a surprise by recalling Aribo to play in midfield. Aribo’s best skill, that we’ve seen anyway, has been his finishing, but he wasted an opportunity to put Saints ahead […]
