Scrappy Doo Gets Led Away by His Minder With the fixtures out and tickets on sale for the earliest games of the Championship schedule, a jarring reminder was delivered of on of the issues with the level weโ€™re at now.ย  There is plenty to like about the Championship of course, but the one thing that the Premier League has got right at the Championship has not, is ticket prices for away fans and Saints have seen a very early demonstration of the greed and fleecing of loyalty that goes on from Ipswich Town who are charging ยฃ43 for an adult ticket to go to Portman Road. ย

Sesay looks a player. Can see why he appears to be ahead of Smallbone and Aribo in pecking order #saintsfc

Bree is a terrible defender a vast majority of the time. As bad as Sugawara but with a lot less attacking impact. #saintsfc

Not every one plays the same way. Charles needs to tighten up his passing however.

First half positives - Quarshie and Charles. Negatives - forward line. Fraser is the best attacking player by some distance.

Oddities given Still's style - Ronnie at right back, lack of crosses

Playing out from the back from a goal kick results in us giving away a throw in about 10 yards up the line #saintsfc

Saints Manager Playing Career Rabbitย Hole Looks Like He Did Actually Play, Kind Of. There is something about the Will Still appointment as manager of Saints that I canโ€™t quite get my head around. I initially thought that it was maybe the fact that he is 25 years younger than me and whilst that does indeed grate a bit in a humourous way, it's not a big deal and I'm used to it.
