RobM Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 We're going to struggle this afternoon. I have a feeling that Watford are going to kick the crap out of us and we'll struggle to get going and get the ball down and play. 0-2 Watford.
KK the 2nd Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 Not feeling confident but here's hoping .. can't make the match as I am away in FE but will be watching the scores on the internet late into the evening. COYR!
saint lard Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 4-5-1,i do wish we would play 2 up top when we are at home.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 4-5-1,i do wish we would play 2 up top when we are at home. Plenty of attacking options though, I would have thought our line was too aggressive if anything. Smith,Lallana,Robertson and McGoldrick-none of them known for their defensive qualities.
SNSUN Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 We'll win. That's all I have to say about that.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 (edited) Not many about so far this afty, dare I hope that they're all down at the game? Mr Pastry is a saints supporter Edited 18 October, 2008 by Window Cleaner

Smith,Lallana,Robertson and McGoldrick-none of them known for their defensive qualities. Agreed on both counts,agressive, but weak defensively IMO. If we go a goal down we will revert to 4-4-2,which is what we have done recently,this has proved slightly,and i mean slightly,more productive and this compact formation has asissted us to get a foot hold in games oncemore. Therefore when at home,which it is now vital we pick up results,we should adopt this formation.IMO. It's all very good having the width to exploit with the pace we may have in the side but we are hardly skinning sides out on the flanks and whipping dangerous crosses in.,DMG nearly always comes inside anyway. This is supposed to be "total football"which should mean interchangable movement between players and systems,but this seems to be dead in the water. We usually end the game 4-4-2 anyway,when we have been chasing the match. All IMO.

Still it will be interesting to see what becomes of the Smith/Robertson combination, an out and out winger and a hard-nut front man. Watford are supposed to be susceptible on crosses,we could blow them out of the water early on, on the other hand we could be 2-0 down inside 10 minutes.
Leicestersaint Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 is anyone intending to open the first half thread??
Edmonton Saint Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 ****s sake McGoldrick you waste of space
Window Cleaner Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 ****s sake McGoldrick you waste of space Yup, just don't believe it, all we needed a penalty after 5 minutes and it gets saved. We really are blighted.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 wtf just happened? Penalty to us, McG took it,got saved.
saintjay77 Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 Penalty to us, McG took it,got saved. arse
patred44 Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 The keeper shouldn't have been on the pitch..that was a red card offence. Even the Watford commentators were layghing at the ref for not sending him off.
Edmonton Saint Posted 18 October, 2008 Posted 18 October, 2008 and now we are losing, think we must have run over about 16 black cats, the **** luck we keep having
