Your gonna need more than a miracle with that team. It's truly shocking.

why is it shocking what would you change

for starters, fitzpatrick at full back.

who else would you play there

Fitzy had a good game tonight people need to get of his back.

All in all we held our own for first 15mins 200% improvement from last week there was effort put in. Had 2 tries disallowed both of Ratchford, he deserves to be in the team but not on the wing, an out & out winger would have scored both the opportunities he had tonight, but even though we got beat, happy really with the performance as saints will put that score passed top teams

fitzy had an ok game, still out of position alot! still letting the high bomb bounce! Anyway i'm pleased with tonight, thought thornley had a good game, didn't look out of his depth at all and took his try really well!

so called experts should look into some facts and see the hard work going from the players stats taken from opta stats malc 40 plus tackles fitzy top carries and top meters made so can't understand why these two lads get progressivly slagged off. The commitment of the 2 is extraordinay , I went game tonight and 1bpunce did fitzy left occur all others long put at him he snapped up has for Malc chasing Roby 60 meters . That inspires you so play

Alker rolled back the years there chasing down roby! roby had about a 5 yard start as well!

does anybody agree that jordan turner played really well when he went to hooker for the last 15-20 minutes, think he brings alot more to the table than alker does(attacking wise) or am i gettin carried away

Only thing is his defence is quite suspect, so what he brings to the attack we lose in Malcs defence which is exceptional

totally agree with you mate, hopefully mcrae would of taken note and maybe that could push robbie out of the 17 now, instead of him coming on for alker, bring turner on instead! Think leeds used to do that with jordan tansey? i may be wrong though!

Turner was exceptional I felt. His passing from dummy half was flat, crisp and direct and if Ratch (as his passing too is excellent )had been first receiver we could have had a lot more options to provide runners outside the ruck.

Why cannot we be more flexible? Alker can be #9 and still be our best defensive player & Turner and Paul to alternate at dummy half. Alkers speed from acting half back let him down last season when we were calling for SM to move him. Surely now should be playing second row.

True, although in the middle of the park you tend to be involved with group tackles and in the centres you are more exposed to one and one situations. Maybe beng in the middle of the park Jordan can be given more defensive help.

wilshere, when he's fit.
people need to stop having soft spots for players who aren't up to the job.
