Dom Ballard

Schotte back's come in and has made a difference straight away in terms of being that Harver Bellis replacement.

I mean, he made that clearance off the line for that Dom Ballard shot-

It was a great clearance off the line

... didn't he?

They were good.

They started the game well, didn't they? It was a bit of a slow, sluggish start from Saints.

Dom Ballard had, had an effort.

He, it's...

You spoke about that squad having a big overhaul.

We know a player that's come through your door, Dom Ballard.

We saw it with every Southampton fan saw the goal that he scored against Birmingham City as well.

It was a fantastic finish.

If you're watching the live stream, you can put your predictions in the comments.

There's already a 2-1 to us with Dom Ballard scoring.

I think we're all going to say that Ballard will score something.

Tom, is this the one where we get a clean sheet?

... must have been there, yeah.

We got a bit for Dom Ballard as well but, yeah, um-

Um-

... 40, 45 million.

Laurent Talaj from Plymouth.

Elijah Adebayo from Luton.

And of course the one that got away, Dom Ballard from Orient.

Lots out the door also.

It shows, Patch, this season.

So we had a Dom Ballard goal at 85th minute at Birmingham, a Dom Ballard goal at Preston, a Elissa Visak goal in 79, then Ballard 86, and then 82-91 yesterday.

It just shows, again, that strength and the fact that they keep going.

um which you know how many how many late winners did we get in that steve cottrell side in the way that we played as well so brilliant

But, you know, he's got Milos Kirkes behind him.

So how many games is he going to last until he gets upset with him? And yeah, then just further down the leagues, Gav, how do you spend all that Dom Ballard money at Orient? Obviously, you get Jez Cabia from Grimsby, but then you also get Dane Scarlett on a permanent deal from Spurs.

I know.

I can't believe that.

Actually, last night, there was mistakes.

And... kind of looked at his body language as soon as he gave that ball away for the Dombolo goal and just thought, that is a man who's completely hopeless.

Yeah, he's dejected.

He's

Dave, we were very much in the ascendancy in the game, but Leroy hit the post for them, but it didn't go in, obviously.

Another substitution on 68 minutes, Ballard.

Now, for all that Greenwood did, which was a square root of Soddle, right, why couldn't you start a game with Ballard in? Because he's a busy little player.

I know he won the ball over the far side after coming on.

He might be slightly out of position, but he knows where the net is, as he showed later.

And Greenwood, you know, for all the positivity about some of the signings that we've made, what we just said about Tolai, Greenwood does appear to be a little bit of...

He's looking a bit like a dud, which is a bit harsh after five games.

But you've paid £5 million for a player in Dom Ballard.

He can cause a ha- hassle for any defender, and he's been doing that at this level, and he's scored goals at every level.

So he's exciting, just like Dom Ballard is exciting.

You've seen his moments that he brings to the team as well.

Um, so yeah, some...
