Talking to a gooner cabbie on Friday he thought we were still in administration and heading towards another relegation! It really is amazing how much our salvation has been forgotten by the same national press who so reveled in our downfalll.

 

Anyway back to tonight's game. I wouldn't rick Connolly - even if he is fit just stick him on the bench. In a 4-5-1 I think Waigo offers more of a threat than Connolly and I'd like to see James in the holding midfield role. So...

 

             Bart
Murty   Jaidi   Trotman   Harding
             James
     Hammond Scheiderlin
Papa                          Lallana
            Lambert

Bench: Forecast, Connolly/Paterson, Antonio, Thomas, Mills, Wotton, Gobern

 

That's exactly what I would go with for tonight as well.

I park in the car park by Jurys Inn opposite the fire station, normally plenty of space there.

 

Ok many thanks

 

And thanks to you, Trousers, as well - I shall head for there.

Should be three points tonight against one of the poorest (though improving slowly) sides in the league and a great chance to get out of the bottom 4 and even higher if other results go our way......

 

So Saints being the team we love and adore and know so well, prepare for another shock defeat ala BHA and another week or two in the drop zone!

My thoughts exactly, I look forward to being proven wrong.

The good news is that i can saty up and listen to the commentary tonight (was supposed to be picking friends up at the airport 1am but they have been delayed till 3am).

 

The bad news is I've got some sort of infection of the elbow joint which has swelled up to double normal size and am on anti biotics so no booze :cool: At first I thought I'd had a reaction to a mozzie bite and seeing how much my elbow expanded in size I was thinking about leaving the old man out and see if it would get bitten and swell up like wise :p

 

It would be churlish to predict anything but 3-1 again tonight I guess.

Posted
I have said 5-1 because somebody, sooner or later, is going to really get a thrashing and Saints never keep a clean sheet!! :D

 

Just changed my prediction from 4-0 to 3-1 for that very reason.

Posted

Twice this season numerous people come onto the forum before a game and predict 4 or 5 nil thrashings and Saints to cruise to 3 points. We won't.

 

Those games were Leyton Orient and Brighton.

Wycombe will park the bus and try to frustrate us.

 

Got a funny feeling they will score against play but we will come back to just about scrape home with a 2-1 victory (winning goal scored in the dying minutes).

We will score early on from 25 yards, then they'll have to come at us to get even.

Posted

First up if anyone wants a point against us then they attack us as we can't defend so good as our attacking force.

 

Second up, I don't care about the results of those around us as I want the 2nd - 8th place teams to lose more so we can close the gap more.

 

Going for a nervy 1-0 win with a offside goal from Papa on the 67th minute, plus a mass punch up resulting in 2 sendings off. :-D

Yes of course

Any dropping of points against the so called "struggling teams"

will be a bad result..but not all doom and gloom if we do.

it will be....we should not be dropping points and not accept it...I very much doubt pardew does..

Surely we have to accept it,nothing else we can do is there really?

 

We are all fans and have to get used to the rough and smooth,disappointed

when it`s rough and delighted when it`s not.

I wonder how many of the sides that "struggling Southampton" took apart over the last dozen or so games have opened veins as a result;)

you know full well what I mean...you are just been pedantic..

 

I will not (and nor should anyone) be happy if we dont win...

 

and before you slate me....ask yourself if pardew will be happy..?

 

anyway...i think we will win 2-0

Sorry if you took it to be pedantry as it wasn`t meant to be.

I won`t be happy if we don`t win either

and of course AP won`t be happy will he,managers never are in defeat or

home draws against lower teams.

 

3 nil to us for me.

 

Just wish i was going as normal,but feeling rough for last few days.

....and the fact that you're driving to pick up your friends?!?

 

Anyway, i'm going to stick with my earlier prediction of 3-1 with Lallana scoring at some point.

I agree with your thoughts on the Wycombe strategy and they will play to frustrate and look to score from set pieces or on the break. They will be very happy with a draw IMO and play accordingly. Defensively i think we are to strong and even the odd present from Jaidi I still can't see them scoring and I predict a frustrating and slightly boring 2-0 win. A typically cold winter's night game made more challenging if the predicted rain arrives - one of those very rare occassions you are glad you're not a footballer.

I'l Be There Tonight Like I Always Am As I Have A ST And I'm Feeling Pretty Confident That Were Going To Win Either 3-0 Or 3-1 And That Other Results Will Go Our Way And That We'l Move Out Of The Bottom 3 But Then Again This Is Saints...!

COYR :D!

Talking to a gooner cabbie on Friday he thought we were still in administration and heading towards another relegation! It really is amazing how much our salvation has been forgotten by the same national press who so reveled in our downfalll.

 

Anyway back to tonight's game. I wouldn't rick Connolly - even if he is fit just stick him on the bench. In a 4-5-1 I think Waigo offers more of a threat than Connolly and I'd like to see James in the holding midfield role. So...

 

             Bart
Murty   Jaidi   Trotman   Harding
             James
     Hammond Scheiderlin
Papa                          Lallana
            Lambert

Bench: Forecast, Connolly/Paterson, Antonio, Thomas, Mills, Wotton, Gobern

 

would be happy for that or for Wotton instead of James

2-1 btw

 

They'll smell it....

 

 

We'd better win, that's all I'm saying.

Obviously that is the main reason for no booze, just thought I'd try and squeeze out a smidgin of sympathy with my infected elbow bit :p

 

I've gone for 3-1, don't care who scores.

correct first 11 except Perry for Trottman, subs Forecast Mills Thomas Wooton Mellis Trottman Antonio

This is exactly right.

A chocolate medal to that man.

Whoopsy, didn't look closely enough. Oh no not Perry again, he is dump, old slow and dump. Still the rest should be able to carry him,can't think what can possibly be wrong with Trottman.

We are short of attacking options off the bench

Suspect Trotman's not mentally right. May know he's not staying. Or could be AP working on combinations without him. Or has he fallen out with AP?
