I think you are now seeing how much of an influence James Graham was on the field of play in terms of leadership of the pack and getting your defense organised.

Great advert for neutrals to watch Sky just need to sort out the clueless commentators they have and the package would improve tremendously.

Saints will still be top 4 and challenging for trophies come the end of the season.

Great game to watch, top entertainment from both sides, fabulous advert for our game

think having a leadership group wouldnt be a bad idea. wellens isnt exactly mr motivator in terms of his talking and from the bits i saw lomax seemed to be handing out a lot of the rollockings. get a group together wellens, puletua, lomax, soliola, roby, flannery and encourage them to all be leaders - perhaps even rotating the captaincy? worked well under maguire at wigan in season 1 and it really brought out the best in guys like coley, fielden, joel t and leuluai who had all been playing well but as individuals before then.

The question is less to do with who should lead the team than whether there is an obvious candidate. Watching the team last night - aside from a couple of moments when Wilkin took control and thumped the ball downfield early in the six - I was struggling to find anyone who looked like he has the attributes to encourage others to follow his lead.

I can't wait to go to your new stadium. The sound seems to come across really well on Sky atmosphere wise, and it looks great. You appear to be getting good attendances too, the stadium has looked pretty much full for your games so far. Out of interest, what have your attendances been so far?

15k and 13k so far.

Atmosphere wise, the sound carries far, far better than it ever did at Knowsley Road. You can actually hear other stands singing. It should be rocking when a team with bigger away support comes to town.
