Saints V Yeovil Build Up

Don't under estimate Yeovil.

Remember Walsall.

 

Indeed, it is the height of arrogance that some come on here predicting 3-goal margins against Yeovil, just like they did for Walsall. I also find it highly amusing that some are talking about Bournemouth rolling over against Exeter almost as a certainty; I hope the team dont show that complacency against them on Saturday. Bournemouth are one of this seasons success stories and deserve more respect.

It would be weird if lots of people were not predicting large winning margins. There are plenty of good reasons why that is a sensible prediction. It is not "arrogant".

 

And retrospect shows it was "sensible" against Walsall, does it ?

 

Come on then, list these "good" reasons.

I can see Exeter beating Bompey on their own patch, it's not about expecting Bournemouth to roll over. Exeter are strong at st james park that's all.

Clearly that game went against sensible predictions.

 

By the way, Ladbrokes have it as 6-1 that we will win 3-0. They have it as 8-1 for a Yeovil win of any kind. That doesn't mean they're right but I'm just demonstrating that it's a perfectly reasonable prediction.

No. I have predicted a win. But it will be tight. It wont be 3 or 4 bloody nil.

 

How does this work then, because Hudders and Posh are well above both Walsall and Yeovil, and we beat them both 4-1. Surely this is a paradox and the world should have imploded?

If davis gets injured it could be 3 or 4-0 to yeovil

 

I see Forecast has been back on the bench for the last couple of games. What happened to the keeper from Arsenal who we brought in on loan? He was sub against Swindon. Do the management not like the look of him, in which case has he gone back?

He went back, probably because he was just sat on the bench here.

He went back after Forecast's loan finished

Tempted to have a tenner on Yeovil at 8-1!

 

I'm quite happy to pay a ten pound premium to see Saints win, and I don't think I could face another carp drive home after Hartlepool and Walsall; eighty quid to cover my fuel and ticket might just provide a small tad of comfort - not sure how I cover the draw though?

 

Tense, nervous, bad-tempered evening, 2-1 Saints (just).

So what ?

 

you were slagging of fans for opting for decent win prediction, calling them arrogant. (at least makes change from slagging off saints).

 

Bookies seem to think decent chance of comfortable saints win (in fact 2-0 most likely score).

A 2 goal winning margin allowing us to sub off key players with Saturday in mind would be my ideal scenario..... so expect a close 3-2 win with us scoring in the 93rd minute to claim the three points.

 

Let's not get too carried away with predictions, Yeovil did manage to get a draw against 'udders' at the weekend so they're clearly no mugs.

Alpine is our very own Paul the Octopus in reverse.

 

He excelled himself in the games against Swindon and Colchester.

 

It will be 3-0 or 4-0.

 

hope his predictions continue to fail - he has said 2nd in impossible.

Yeovil are about to produce their best performance of the season. Their keeper will have a worldy. We all know it. Confident still? 0-0 written all over it.

 

Dont want to believe it, reckon we can scrape a scrappy 1-0 win, but there is a not insiginficant chance that you are right.

I would class Yeovil in the same bracket as Daggers rather than Rochdale. I.E, our class will shine through even if we have an off day, because they're that poor.

(My brother is a steward at Huish Park and he keeps me updated).

Can you really be 100% sure it hasnt?

 

(serious philosophical question...)

Poor or not they seem to manage to win alternate away games....and as they drew the last one.

Still I think a prediction of 3-1 to the Saints would be in order.

5 nil I reckon, although have noticed someone has gone 8-1 on the prediction league, hmm.

 

Will just take a win and Bournemouth, Brighton, Peterboro, Huddersfield losing with Mk dons drawing with Charlton, rest couldn't care less about.

Can't really see anything other then a win from this one. Sure you should not write off teams and underestimate them at your peril etc. But the two teams in terms of class are so far apart. We should win this one comfortably. Am going for a 3-0 win.

We should close the gap on some of those above us tonight too i think. Brighton, Bournemouth and Peterborough away with tricky games.

 

Positive thinking lads!

Taking my neice to the game tonight… Got a season ticket in the northam, does anyone if its possible for us to move, just for tonights game to say the itchen/chapel corner? Rather not the hassle of her complaining standing up etc for 90 minutes… Would I just go to the ticket office before the match and asked to be moved?

Just go to the office and swap. You leave your season ticket there and pick it up after the game. I did it for the Swindon game, no problems.

In the Itchen stand we can amble through to the chapel or vice versa and find a couple of empty seats. My mate got into bother by walking from the Northam in front of the away supporters so I imagine you could walk round the the other way OK.

Yes, you can move you season ticket for individual games. I've done it a number of times, just go to the ticket office and they will print off two new tickets when you buy your niece one. They will ask to hold onto your season ticket until after the game.
