Southampton home Saturday 8th March 3pm

70 points before anyone else has a sniff of 60

I worry for Jones. Not sure he can cut it in a midfield 3. He's always the first to get hooked if he starts and things aren't going well.

talented guy but so inconsistent

[Myo]

Ah, can't believe I didn't know that!

But wasn't that 6 players (Elliot, Mac, Q, Jota, Robbo, Endo)?

crap you are right!!

[Kenneth]

Odd

[Assassin]

6 subs but it shouldn’t be an issue. The officials control the game. They have ****ed up!

[Sus]

Saw on X that Southampton had a 6th sub for concussion, so we get an extra one as well

Had no idea that was a rule

[peterbread]

Whatever was said of given to Diaz at halftime just do it before any game he starts please.

Good finish from Nunez. That will give him a good boost to finish the season off well hopefully.

Elliot and Mac changed that game.

Happy for Eilliot to get the backing of the manager to make the difference and he did. Last two games could be a bit of a spring board to show what he’s got and establish that he’s part of the squad longterm.

Mac really is our main man in midfield, always makes a massive difference. Best of the lot and just does it all.

Think Robbo also helped change things and got Diaz going. He’s been better recently.

Slot making changes that have a big impact again. But the general attitude from everyone was also much better.

They haven’t. We get an additional sub as Southampton made a concussion sub.

If we did wrongly make an extra sub though, it would be an issue as we’d be docked points for it.

Interesting. I don't think many did.

, especially the Macallister bit, he's class.

From the PL website

-A ‘concussion substitute’ may be made regardless of the number of substitutes already used

-When a ‘concussion substitute’ is used, the opposing team has the option to use an ‘additional substitute’ for any reason

-If a team decides to make a ‘concussion substitute’, the Fourth Official is informed by using a green substitution card

[labourRed]

Is he? I thought he wasn’t allowed near the team 30 mins before the game and then for a certain period afterwards? And I thought definitely not allowed in the change rooms…

He just got a touchline ban. What you are referring to is an extended touchline ban.

He's only banned from the sidelines and pitch before during (obviously) and after.

6 subs...do we know what was going on? Has someone got concussion? Who?

One of their lads, he's got a small boner too.

[peterbread]

Is it me or are there a few new younger refs around right now and they are doing a good job. We always criticise the and sometimes rightly but thought today was another good new addition. Let’s hope it’s the start of a change and an upward change.
Ok he took too long for the handball but in general had no issues.
