Mara may well be missing tonight, as there is a hearing today about an 'off the ball' and unpunished incident with Porteus late in the game on Saturday. If judged violent play, he will get a three-match ban.

I know RM suggested there might need to be some changes during his press conference, guess Aribo might be the obvious omission after getting a couple of whacks and being subbed on Saturday, apart from that I hope we stick with the team that looked SO good for 35 minutes, accepting Stephens is now above Bednarek in the pecking order; Baz KWP Stephens THB Bree Smallbone Downes Stu Brooks Adams AA I will not accept that Stephens is ahead of ~150 PL and 50+ international caps Jan Bednarek. But unfortunately RM seems to think he is

Interesting presser: - Russ sees us as being in good form (1 loss in 7, and the loss was our best performance) - Watford game highlights how we need to stay playing the way we play, e.g. before 2-0 and at 2-2. Seems to be saying we are at our best if we attack for 90 minutes... Players need to slow and speed up game to our needs though. - Openly admits there is no chance of KWP (and likly a few others) being here next season without promotion. 1 he's wrong, the games over Easter were terrible results 2 he's wrong, even the best teams have to have a alternate tactic to deal will spells when they're not on top. His maniacal adherence to this belief is one of the reasons we're not in the top 2 3 duh, obviously 🙄

I’m not sure I’ve ever wanted a Saints player banned before… Well quite I've nothing against the feller personally, and if we were "on the beach" I'd like to see him given minutes, but in the current circumstances we can't afford to have him swanning round the pitch like a pensioner at a car boot

I know he’s French and it comes with the territory but he’s seemed even grumpier than usual recently. If I was trying to get in the team I’d run about a bit, even if I was total shit (which I would be). I convinced myself that he was on the same wavelength as Alcaraz but that’s not much use now. Some wags on the Ugly are urging Saints to lodge a frivolous appeal so the ban gets extended! The trouble is we are not exactly replete with strikers…

About the only time we can call Mara a striker without it being a trade's description thing...

i would put Mara and Sully as the two colossal disappointments of the season.
They will both go on to some kind of mediocre top flight squad player career in one of the big 5 leagues in Europe.. But by god their inability to impact our 2nd division much suggests they'll spend a lot of their careers warming benches.

But I also think he's extremely entitled and seems to sulk if not instantly given the permanent 9 slot. He's shown enough to suggest he can play, on his day his hold up play is strong, his positioning is good, he knows where the net is from a variety of ranges, he can pull off a great assist... But he seems to think I've done that once I should be the main man and when he's not because guess what Che might not be perfect but he's done all of that a lot more and for a lot longer, he seems to basically protest and play shite

It’s not on Saints Play but it is on Sport Digital.
I might watch it from behind the sofa as I’m scared again.
There’s no way I can cope with play-offs without cracking up.
