Double the wins, double the fun

Despite the injuries to Redmond and Obafemi, the Saints did collect their second win of the season and second in-a-row after dropping the first two league matches. Winning breeds confidence and confidence is exactly what a young team needs to be successful in the Premier League.

The Saints have to be feeling good with United coming to town on Saturday and have to believe they are more than capable of getting a result from this match. It may be opportunity for a player like Djenepo or Boufal or even Stu to step into Nathan Redmond’s role and prove they are capable of making things happen.
