Oh no, I hope he hasn't spread it through the squad?

bbc article mentions he tested positive last week so hopefully they've tested and re-tested everyone else and.....fingers crossed

Bugger. Perhaps give Tella a start?

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

Totally off topic but it goes to show that being healthy helps with covid recovery doesn't it. We have heard of countless footballers getting it, and every single one of them has been back playing football after a short period of time with no issues.

[tobinen]

It's not on Sky so I have found a low quality hooky stream.

Saints are playing very well, really encouraging.

bks. Cursed it

You bell end

Thought you were the better team in the first half, certainly in the first 30 minutes or so. I'd say the injuries probably caught up with you in the end and you just lacked that bit of quality. Still should be aiming for a top 7 finish once all your players are back.

[tobinen]

Leicester is a very good team and Saints' lack of first team players didn't help. A good game to watch but I was disappointed. Fair play to Leicester though.

As a fellow Leicester supporter I'd echo that, thought you were very good 1st half, bossed the midfield. I'm glad Ings wasn't playing, obviously hope he recovers quickly (now we've played you ), think it could have been different with more quality up front. Good game though.

[Leicester Loyal]

Nice to see Che Adams doing well too. He's a local lad and a few of my mates went school with him and know him, was always hopefuly we'd sign him but it wasn't to be.

[The jiffle king]

A game of fine margins and we were on the wrong end of but 2 good teams and Leicester edged it to be fair to them. Not too disheartened as I think we are still a good team but need a bit more cutting edge

[pequod]

The 2nd goal at the end didn't reflect a good even contest, albeit we were one down in the first half, and highlights the importance of having DI in the squad who is an influential player, whether or not he scores.

Onwards and upwards!

Sounds like we're only going to have him for the remainder of this season, so let's make the most of it. Such a shame as, let's be honest, we're not going to replace him.

[The jiffle king]

I understand why we can't keep Ings because of his wages, but we took him at a time when he was in the wilderness and took a £20M chance. I hope we get reasonable reward and that Ings does brilliantly until the end of the season

Good solid win with many youngsters last night. Great to see the confidence from the start

Of course it'll be to Liverpool or Spurs, won't it....

Spurs is the gossip I heard and Danny has always tried his heart out for us so I have on problem with him leaving. Would love him to go abroad and not to a rival

Beeb reckons Spuds too. I do wish they'd clear off and leave our players alone. Still, if he's got his heart set on going then not much Saints can do except fleece the buying club mercilessly. At least we've got a decent track record as far as that's concerned!

[tobinen]

Yes agreed. If he goes then extract the biggest fee possible. I think Liverpool is entitled to a cut AIUI.

Have you met Daniel Levy? Like ever?

I’ve not but understand his reputation precedes him. Hopefully not Spurs from our point of view
