Beat me to it Bicester.

McCarthy as first choice in goal and Stephens over Bednarek. I may be proved wrong (indeed I hope I am) but on what I have seen I really don't understand how McCarthy is the first choice at all. Strong(ish) bench.

I can only assume McCarthy and Stephens (playing at right back) have some compromising pictures to keep getting picked. Bizarre given the players on the bench.

Has the Ross Stewart deal already paid off as Nick says?

I am seriously begnning to doubt Ralph’s management skills
KWP was arguably our most consistent performer last year and now he gets the elbow
No FF again what the hell is wrong with Ralph
And Stephens over Bednarek
Walcott instead of Stuart?.??
Ffs man
I would say there will be some seriously pi55ed off players on tat bench

I did see something that suggested Armstrong may have an injury - otherwise strange choice.

McCarthy....WTF !

And both Bednarek & KWP on the bench...

I hope Ralph knows whats he's doing.

Strange selection. It’ll be interesting to hear Ralph’s thinking behind it.

Ralph starts the season as he spent last season--making strange team selections. McC, Livramento, Stephens, Salisu, Perraud, JWP, Romeu, Walcott, Djenepo, A.Armstrong, Adams.
At least Redmond isn't starting, but this definitely looks dodgey to me.

I seriously dont think he does
You need consistency and stability amongst the team and it changes weekly
With two weeks left of the window he is playing dangerous game

Is Big Sam Allardyce working at the moment?
I hope I'm wrong, and would be happy to be proved wrong, but I can see another 9-0 coming up this season.

I hope to f@ck Ralph knows what he's doing.

To me - it appears that he's going for the 9-0 treble with that line up!

We never win at GP so perhaps Ralph is thinking we can afford to toss this one off......

Ready and waiting to mop up those European places......

I can only assume Bednarek isn’t 100% fit and that’s why we have the depressing sight of Stephens starting for yet another season. Unless Ralph is f*cking mental.

But as he picked McCarthy, he probably is.

He's a genius , can't wait ( if i can get a feed) .

The revolution begins to day , watched Saints v City this morning Keegans debut and Channon 2 goals , Armstrong is the new Channon.

If that's the way he thinks, he shouldn't be a manager.
