    Think we should try KWP and Perraud as full backs, give Tino a rest.

    Sally and Beddy CB, Romeu and Diallo CDM so that Prowsie can actually go into the opposition half of the pitch.

    Not bothered who our attacking players are as it makes zero difference.

    This is the one game Tino will really, really want to play in though.

    You’ve had months to prepare for this. Don’t let us down now, or we will have to get a European in, on a 3 month visa, to do the job for you.

    Will Stu be selected for Scotland? If so, pray that he isn't quite fit enough yet, to actually play against either of Israel or The Faroe Islands, those dual giants of international football.

    I was just about to post this, perhaps he is secretly a Saints fan these days, at least when Swindon aren’t playing!

    Sick note needed although being involved in a couple of games would help his match fitness.

    Wasn't Martin Atkinson the VAR official for Man City v Saints? The person that overruled the referee and had the penalty and Walker's red card rescinded? Obviously, now he's shown what he can do at a distance, he's been awarded his chance to spoil things for Saints, in person.

    Kante has tested positive for Covid, might be a couple more from Chelsea I guess who might be out

    A mild dose for Lukaku wouldn’t go amiss…

    I'm going to join in the group that wants to try Tino further forward with KWP behind him knowing it will end in tears. There were so many calls for KWP to be played alongside Tino on the other flank but when Ralph tried it, there were calls for his head (despite it working quite well for the Citeh game). So I'm sure this is what will happen again. A great performance against Chelsea and then a defeat against Leeds because 'we played Tino out of position'...

    I predict that the Premier League will insist on a postponement, as players being forced to isolate due to Covid would clearly be unfair to Chelsea, which is all that matters...

    I wouldn't go as far as that, though I appreciate the humour! But a tweak, nothing more in the warm up, yes that would be good news for us!
