Not a bad point. A win over Preston makes it a very good week overall. Second half was very improved, though the team is far weaker with Scienza, Jander and Larin out. #SaintsFC

#SaintsFC have no capable back-up to Leo Scienza on that left flank.

Once again an attack coming down the left flank and punishing Saints. The softest penalty you'll see...

Last I'm going to say on it but #SaintsFC's decision to loan out Jay Robinson and keep Sam Edozie just doesn't make sense to me. Sure, he's getting some good minutes and experience in Serie A, but the gulf between Scienza and Edozie is seismic

Plays a putrid style of football, but West Ham have quality in attack to offset that - could go either way, this one. If promoted they'd have to change managers again...

#SaintsFC will no longer have to worry about replacing Kuryu Matsuki in January and February, as the AFC have postponed the Asian Cup that was due to take place in Saudi Arabia. Competition been moved to later in the year, so Matsuki's absence is a problem for 2027/28 season.

One year ago. Wonder who they'll get in while that Eckert bloke looks after the side...

Not my usual football stuff... but felt compelled to write my own review of #CelebrityTraitors Series 2 if anybody fancies a read. Have thrown a few names in to the hat for next year too. substacktools.com/sharex/j5z…

They finished 8th last season and are currently 5th. If anything, improvement with arguably a poorer squad than De Zerbi had. I will never understand why Hurzeler, a young, promising manager, isn't so well appreciated there.

Once again, not the greatest performance ever, but #SaintsFC score four goals and win comfortably. 19 out of a possible 21 points at home so far this season. 🤯

#SaintsFC full of goals even without Cyle Larin in the side. Brilliant to see.
