pilsburydoughboy Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 The call has been made i am in. Its going to be big and very messy.The weekend starts for me with monster **** up on Friday at works do. Straight from hotel to pub on Sat then onto the game. Well up for this one. I am going for the other side of Bitterne score.
SNSUN Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 A game we SHOULD win. A game we will win? Yes. A win and a clean sheet? Yes. I predict a riot. 4-0.
kpturner Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 Unfortunately I think it will be another Wycombe - but we will scrape it. Tranmere are sadly not the pushovers they were under Beavis and Butthead earlier in the season.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 Think we'll just about scrape it 1-0/2-1
S-Clarke Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 They are due a new manager this week....... wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, always timed for when they play us! didn't realise until y/day that they were under the stewardship of their physio!!
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 There is not a chance of Tranmere getting anything from this game. We will stuff them new manager or not.
Saint_clark Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 I have to work this saturday, so no doubt we will win 6-0 or something.
SaintBobby Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 We'll win by a tidy handful...4-1 or something....
ericofarabia Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 This time last year, or the year before, the prospect of a team coming to SMS with an away record of P 10, W1 D1 L8 and the worst GD in the division would have filled me with dread ... you just knew what was going to happen :cool: but The Feel Good Factor brought on by AP's drive towards a winning mentality leaves me looking forward to each game regardless of who we are playing. The fear of complacency will hopefully only be with the fans not the players and it is worth bearing in mind that they got a very creditable 3-3 draw at Huddersfield recently, so maybe they are good on the counter attack against a team that goes flat out to score at home like Huddersfield and dare I say us.
sperm_john Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 we will win with a solid 2-0 because they will put 10 men behind the ball for a lot of the game, wont be the white wash people think I don't believe ..
brightspark Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Any result which sees Saints score more goals than Tranmere will do for me. As per Wycombe, no other result is acceptable considering we are far better than the opposition on a man for man basis. Head: Saints 2-1 Tranmere Heart: Saints 5-1 Tranmere
opthomps Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 We should win handsomely, and I'm sure we will. I do have dreadful memories of that 4-3 defeat at prenton park. I was at University in Sheffield and one of my Wirral friends who was sharing in the house rubbed my nose in it big style. He went out on the razzle drinking champagne and has never let me forget. That match has even been on re-runs over here in the last two months. There will be no sympathy if we give 'em a good spanking. 3-0 Saints
Chris Larkin Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Didn't think I was going to be able to get to this game, but now I probably can. Haven't been to SMS in over two months, shameful of me. I expect fans of the rest of the teams in the League will depise our arrogance, but like most of you, I can't see us not winning again this weekend. I'm going for 4-1. What a lovely feeling. This season is wonderfully refreshing, when compared to the last two. Come on, you Saints.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 They are due a new manager this week....... Oh noes!
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Surely it'll be by our favourite scoreline of 3-1 with Conelly, Hammond and Lambert scoring :-D
MongoNeil Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Surely it'll be by our favourite scoreline of 3-1 with Conelly, Hammond and Lambert scoring :-D Don't be silly, that's only for away games don't you know ;-)
doughnutman Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 3-1 though not quite sure why im predicting that score...
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Saints to win, dont care by how many.
RonManager Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Seems strange to have the whole week to enjoy a positive result as there have been so many Tuesday evening matches recently. As I'm working nearby, I'm going to go to a midweek match this week, Reading v Palace, for a bit of 'no pressure' entertainment - plus I've never been to the Madejski. I shall be shouting 'ooareya, ooareya' in equal measure to both sets of supporters.
lettuce Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 3-1 Saints... Lambert, Hammond and Connolly to score.
ottery st mary Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 No messin 5-0 top the mighty Saints.....We are overdue this scoreline. COYRs.
krissyboy31 Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Bart to keep up his 100% record. Barnsley v WBA FLC W 3-1 Barnsley v Ipswich FLC W 2-1 H Charlton JPT W 2-1 A Hartlepool FL1 W 3-1 (30 min sub appearance) A Northampton FAC W 3-2 H Wycombe FL1 W 1-0 A Walsall FL1 W 3-1 H Tranmere FL1 W 3-0
Andy_Porter Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Think it will be a 1-0 or 2-1. Can't see it being a massive win, the game won't be open enough for that. If we're going to thrash someone it will be an away game where teams feel they're obliged to attack and not just sit back.
Matthew Le God Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Tranmere's away record reads... Won 1 Draw 1 Lost 8 For 6 Against 23 Looks promising for the first "big" Saints win of the season, or 0-0
vince Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 It should be a straightforward home win, but it's a funny old game, or so I'm told. The other key fixtures on Saturday, having looked at the table, are Bristol Rovers/Swindon, Millwall/Warsall, Leyton Orient/MK Dons. Could do with a draw in the Bristol game, a draw or a Millwall win and a draw or a Leyton Orient win to go with a Saints win, and we claw back at least one more play off point.
Iowsaintsfan Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Will be there back of block 41 with 2 mates one of which who is his 1st trip to a game!
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 We should have more than 16,000 fans for this game, at least I hope so.. Very dissapointed with the wycombe attendance.
wightman35 Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I want to see us score more than 3 and concede fewer than 1. I like that sentiment!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I think Tranmere will be slightly more attacking than Wycombe were when they came to St Mary's, which should be a good thing for us. 2-0.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I hope Block 42 is going to be a bit more atmospheric than it was against Wycombe.
toofarnorth Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 We should have more than 16,000 fans for this game, at least I hope so.. Very dissapointed with the wycombe attendance. Says about 18,000 sold so far, thus expecting around 20,000 on the OS.
Saint_clark Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 i would settle for a point tbh Joking, right?
Toadhall Saint Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 2 nil Saints - no team is just going to roll over.
krissyboy31 Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Says about 18,000 sold so far, thus expecting around 20,000 on the OS. The 18,000 is Exeter sales for Boxing day's game. If we'd sold that many already for Tranmere they would expecting a lot more than "19/20,000" on Saturday.
Victor Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Does Paul Rideout still play for them? Hope not.
Saints67 Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Tranmere play away tonight in a FA Cup replay against Aldershot. If it's still a draw after 90 minutes don't they go to extra time?
yorkie Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 This is a strange one to call. On the one hand we are on another very good winning streak - on the otherhand Tranmere have nothing to lose by having a go at us. We know what Brighton did to us in the first 20/30 minutes - if Tranmere try the same we might struggle. I wouldn't worry if we went 1-0 down - but then again I'd be much happier with a very early goal (for Saints) followed by woeful defensive display by Tranmere resulting in a 6-0 win. Can't see it mind more likely to be 1-0 and batter them for 93 minutes only for them to equalise on 94! We are significantly better than most teams in this league and we are beginning to belive it ourselves. No harm in a bit of arrogance on the pitch (or the terraces) but let's be restrained, saving it for after the game (if we win)! I can't help it - I feel strangely optimistic providing we keep clear of silly suspensions and serious injuries. As for all the knockers on here give credit where it is due. The team of Liebherr, Cortese, Pardew & Wilkins have turned our lack lustre shell shocked yougsters into a half decent side. Admittedly we now have some backbone - Jaidi, Hammond and Lambert. All new (and welcome) additions to the squad. Every week I look at the sides around us - visiting some of the grounds and watching some decent football - we should fear no one. We as supporters can only hope and pray that Mr. Complacency doesn't come back to roost in the ivory towers of SMS - but I think there is too much riding on it for some of the players. Some of the squad are clearly a different class - and they will want to play at a higher level. I almost get the feeling as much as they would take automatic promotion - some will relish to chance to step out at Wembley in May to show the footballing world what the club is capable of. It may be the hard way - two more games, but they will relish the challenge. How I would love Leeds to hit a bad run of injuries and only make the play offs - only for us to doom them to another season in League 1. We all have dreams - but sillier things could happen! Not sure where that leaves me really - oh yes a reality check...2-0 Saints. They won't stop Lambo or Connolly...but almost everyone else will be close to scoring!
Saint Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Quite nervous about this one. I would be happy with any win, but it would be nice to have a goal difference similar to the current play-off teams. It seems that anything can happen in this league. Would be an excellent confidence boost in time for Leeds if we smashed 'em with a rugby scoreline. I'm sure we'll prevail.
brmbrm Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 I can just smell Nick's "Last 15 games" thread. Just smell it...... BTW, someone is due for a real stuffing from us, and this might be the one. (0-1 Tranmere then)
doughnutman Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 First game for me since Birmingham in the carling cup (been at Uni in Cardiff ever since) looking forward to seeing how much we've improved since then. Only hope that I dont bring the bad form back which seemed to leave the team after I left...
