Arizona Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Who else is joining me in Essex tomorrow then? I'd go with this team: Bart James Trotman Jaidi Harding Waigo Hammond Morgan Lallana Lambert Connolly
RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I'd go with that selection too, except if fully match fit I'd keep Perry in the squad. He had a blinder yesterday. Who knows if his old legs could handle 2 games in 3 days though... Would definitely start Waigo instead of Antonio, Waigo made a massive difference coming on on Saturday. I have a funny feeling it will be 2-2. I'd like to be proved wrong though and grab 3 points daaannn in Essix. "COYR"
Nexstar Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Bart Thomas Trotman Jaidi Harding James Hammond Morgan Lallana Lambert Waigo James had a good game yesterday but strikes me more as an attacking player and I really would like to see waigo given more time upfront.

This seems good to me, I would assume connolly will be rested and papa actually has a pretty impressive scoring record considering he's not had that many starts up front, so id be confident having him up there. Altho i wouldnt be surprised if James was at right back and antonio on the right midfield.

Oh do give over, Thomas will not start at RB whilst James (or Murty) is available to play there. Connolly and Lambert in attack as usual and Lallana is out,Papa to take his place, Wotton in midfield

Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Who to play on the right then? We'll go narrow with Papa floating about all over the show.But Wotton will probably nominally be responsible for the right side of midfield.
Saint_Jonny Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Oh do give over, Thomas will not start at RB whilst James (or Murty) is available to play there. Connolly and Lambert in attack as usual and Lallana is out,Papa to take his place, Wotton in midfield James was available last week and who played at right back?... Wayne Thomas. And he did a pretty good job of it too I reckon.
dannysfc Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Was he just rested yesterday then? Yeh I heard that he was rested but I am sure that he will be back for tomorrow but we will see !
S-Clarke Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Was he just rested yesterday then? Was rested, and makes complete sense too. Colchester ahve a big powerful forward and it makes sense or him to be fresh for that game. Perry and Trotman were always going to be good enough to do a job y/day hope it pays off tomorrow!
Um Bongo Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Bart James Jaidi Perry Harding Waigo Hammond Schniderlin Lallana Lambert Connolly Will be how we line up. Lallana only has a dead leg, should be fine. Wouldn't be surprised to see Davis back in goal either.

Lallana only has a dead leg, should be fine. Wouldn't be surprised to see Davis back in goal either. Pardew said he was doubtful, that means he's 75% out.Ever had a dead leg?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Boothroyd's teams are always strong, powerful and direct. Therefore Jaidi and Hammond are going to have to be at the top of their game,
S-Clarke Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 IMO the team will be - Bart James - Jaidi - Perry - Harding Antonio - Hammond - Morgan - Mills Papa - Lambert Subs - Davis, Goborn, Thomas, Mellis, Patterson, Wotton, Connolly Lallana has a dead leg - if we were playing on Tuesday/Wednesday then he'd still be 50/50 , he hasn't got enough recovery time unfortunately. He'll be out for sure imo. the left side is still an issue if Lallana is missing though, i've put Mills in there as he's the obvious option...
Um Bongo Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Pardew said he was doubtful, that means he's 75% out.Ever had a dead leg? Yup. Give it a rub and he'll be fine. Well, not you otherwise he might complain about Sexual assault, but he'll be fine to play. Did Pardew say he was '75% out?' Or did you just make that up
Saint_clark Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I had a dead leg this morning. I ran home through the rain just now and feel fine.
Um Bongo Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I had a dead leg this morning. I ran home through the rain just now and feel fine. Are you Adam Lallana?
Nexstar Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Oh do give over, Thomas will not start at RB whilst James (or Murty) is available to play there. Connolly and Lambert in attack as usual and Lallana is out,Papa to take his place, Wotton in midfield It happened the other week. Sorry, Alan.
Saint_clark Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Are you Adam Lallana? No, but if he misses the game tomorrow because of a dead leg then i'm obviously 'arder than him.
Matthew Le God Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 No, but if he misses the game tomorrow because of a dead leg then i'm obviously 'arder than him. A proper dead leg would keep anyone from playing for 3 days or more no matter how "hard" they are!
Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I had a dead leg this morning. I ran home through the rain just now and feel fine. Not a real one, it f*cking well hurts and you can hardly move because the quadriceps is all bruised and battered, often on both face because it got hammered into the bone as well.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 It happened the other week. Sorry, Alan. Concord of circumstances because Morgan was out James moved forward into midfield,thus not being available to play at RB.
yorkie Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Bringing a football virgin tomorrow along with my father in law who lives in Colchester. Could care less who plays as long as we perform and tke them to the cleaners. Hammond will be well up for it - and I fancy Rickie may chip in with a couple tomorrow too. It's long drive back tomorrow at least 4-hours - sure it'll be worth it though!

He'll be out for sure imo. the left side is still an issue if Lallana is missing though, i've put Mills in there as he's the obvious option... Guess it will either have to be Mills or Play Papa on the left, Antonio on the right and Connolly up front.

Not many virgins in Colchester though;They had their annual meeting a while back, but it rained and they held it in a telephone box.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Why not give Mellis a go on the left? I often play him there on FIFA10 in the event of a tactical emergency.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Why not give Mellis a go on the left? I often play him there on FIFA10 in the event of a tactical emergency. I'm not sure that AP has all that much time for him. This will be a hard nervy game.I think we'll start out with a defensive formation.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I'm not sure that AP has all that much time for him. This will be a hard nervy game.I think we'll start out with a defensive formation. I don't think he has much time for him either, but it is still an option. Mellis had one of his better games when he played against Tranmere was it? He should have had a goal and started and continued a marvellous move. Pardew knows what he is doing though, we'll see come 3pm tomorrow.
The Kraken Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I've got a feeling we'll start 4-5-1 for this one. Not sure about who will start on the left, perhaps Connolly in a more defensive position than normal. If Lallana is out, it'll be interesting to see how we get by without one of this season's star performers.
red&white56 Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I'm not sure that AP has all that much time for him. This will be a hard nervy game.I think we'll start out with a defensive formation. I think starting out with a defensive formation will be wise, they'll com eat us and try to win the game in the first half. Once we've contained them, we can then look to sneak a winning goal on the break. 1 -0 to the Saints !
View From The Top Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Big ask to get owt out of this game IMHO. I fully expect a defeat. 1st away game I've missed in ages.
eelpie Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 This is a really interesting test for us. Colchester have an even tighter home defence than Leeds, and Leeds frustrated our attempts to get near their goalmouth. Colchester: P22 W8 D1 L1 F18 A7 So should we play for a rugged draw and hope to get them on the break? Probably imo. If Adam is out I would play Mills too, with Antonio to start and bring Papa on at half time. It seems to work best that way. Bart James - Jaidi - Perry - Harding Antonio - Hammond - Morgan - Mills Lambert - Connolly Subs - Davis, Goborn, Thomas, Mellis, Patterson, Wotton, Papa Mills needs matches to fulfil his potential, so this could be his opportunity. A pity that Lee Holmes hasn't returned to his best since injury.
corsacar saint Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Tough game, especially the fact that Boothroyd gets his teams to play route 1. It is certainly about time we beat them.[ Perhaps we can put in an offer for Ifil after the game]. Head says 2-1 Colchester, Heart says 2-1 Saints.
THEVMAN Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Adam pretty much hoping to be fit for tomorrow.
RedWillie Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Personally i think this is the next hardest game to leeds. They are direct and physical. I will be glad if we get a point. Anything else is a bonus
Matthew Le God Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Personally i think this is the next hardest game to leeds. They are direct and physical. I will be glad if we get a point. Anything else is a bonus Norwich away is harder than Colchester.
RonManager Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 I think we can outplay them on the deck. Pull them about and get in behind them. Jaidi will keep their route 1 aspirations under wraps. Lisbie may be wanting to make a grand farewell so will need to be well marshalled. 3-1 Saints
dune Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Personally i think this is the next hardest game to leeds. They are direct and physical. I will be glad if we get a point. Anything else is a bonus Leeds are simply a cut above everyone else in League 1. Despite the rubbish quoted from various sources suggesting that we matched them toe to toe they absolutely murdered us last week. Colchester are a good side, but i'll be very disapointed if we don't go there and take the game to them. Second half against Exeter we took our foot of the gas in preparation for this game so i can't see us being as knackered as we could have been. I expect a win. 2-1. Up the Saints.
trousers Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 have a good boxing day at colchester everyone
RonManager Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 have a good boxing day at colchester everyone You couldn't let it lie, Bob.
Saint-Reece Posted 28 December, 2009 Posted 28 December, 2009 Well, I've just played Colchester away on FIFA10 and won 3-1 with Lambert getting 2 and Spider 1 so therefore i'm going for a 3-1 win! Lets hope Spider get his Goal tally to 1!
Legod Third Coming Posted 28 December, 2009 Posted 28 December, 2009 have a good boxing day at colchester everyone Have a good day boxing at Colchester?? Are we playing Ricky Hatton???
beatlesaint Posted 28 December, 2009 Posted 28 December, 2009 Interesting that a couple of people have Mills in the team to play. After Saturday i would be very surprised if he started to be honest, unless AP is throwing down a challenge to him !
Griffo Posted 28 December, 2009 Posted 28 December, 2009 If we play football and keep the ball on the floor we can easily take the game to them. They're a very one dimensional team. If we get in behind we can quite easily hurt them.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 28 December, 2009 Posted 28 December, 2009 Is the game definitely on? Yes, stop worrying. All snow and ice is long gone! After talking to some of my U's supporting mates, they seem to fancy their chances today and with good reason I guess; much like ourselves they are flying at the moment. I would happily take a point today.
