RobM Posted 4 April, 2011 Posted 4 April, 2011 I really want to see Forte and Lambert start up front. If we can keep Lambert in the middle, let Forte do the running and create some space for Lambert, it could be a dangerous combination. I also think he (Forte) and Stephens deserve a start after their performances at the weekend, but also to take some pressure off of the rest of the squad. Stephens should certainly start over Chaplow, who needs to control his temper, concentrate on football and remember he is useless to us if suspended! I predict a solid thumping for Charlton... 4-1 Saints.
Saint_Jonny Posted 4 April, 2011 Posted 4 April, 2011 The Cortese Tax puts people off buying in advance and then we're reliant on people making decisions on the day. Often they'll have spent the money or just think f/ck it i'll save the money. Im sure you've asked a large section of Saints fans so you are able to make this statement factually.

Justin C Posted 4 April, 2011 Posted 4 April, 2011 ------------------------DAVIS------------------- BUTTERFIELD-----MARTIN-----FONTE-----HARDING -------------STEPHENS----------HAMMOND------- -----------------------LALLANA------------------ -------------FORTE----BARNARD----LAMBERT----- Subs: Bart, Richardson, Jaidi, Chaplow, Gobern, Connolly, Guly Iwould almost agree but I would start Guly. I think bring on Forte on as an impact player. I think Guly is a very good player and would look better in a higher league. He often plays passes into space where players should be (but looks silly as we don't have a player there) but he ends up lookng silly as we don't.
SuperMikey Posted 4 April, 2011 Posted 4 April, 2011 Agree about Guly but he's not been in great form recently whereas Forte has improved a lot in the last few games. I'd like to see what he can do from the start of a match, we could be under-using him.
the saint in winchester Posted 4 April, 2011 Posted 4 April, 2011 ------------------------DAVIS------------------- BUTTERFIELD/RICHARDSON-----MARTIN-----FONTE-----DICKSON ---STEPHENS----------HAMMOND-------LALLANA -----------------------FORTE------------------ ----- BARNARD----LAMBERT----- Just get off to a good start and make the first half count!!! Two sides who are second-half-only types. Both sides, us and Charlton, scored 3 in the second half on Sat.
Matthew Le God Posted 4 April, 2011 Posted 4 April, 2011 The pre-match Saints Player interviews are with Nigel Adkins and Frazer Richardson. Generally in the past the player chosen to do the pre-match interview is a player that starts in the game. So maybe Frazer will be facing his old club later today from the start... or the fact that it is his old club is the only reason he did the interview.
Matthew Le God Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Only for 12 games on loan. I do get the feeling Richardson will start tonight.
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Well he looked sharp when he came on, but Butterfield still shades it for me. I'd bring Forte in for Guly though.
InvictaSaint Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 The Cortese Tax puts people off buying in advance and then we're reliant on people making decisions on the day. Often they'll have spent the money or just think f/ck it i'll save the money. Luckily, your heroes haven't put up VAT and won't be raising NI contributions or public sector pension contributions. Luckily, too, inflation isn't on the rise and interest rates won't be going up, so I'm well placed to be able to cope with paying the Cortese Ta.......Ohh.
slickmick Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Another draw tonight, but a win Saturday. Udders to lose against Posh, so no wrist slitting tonight.
The Cat Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 We'll win. My mate is coming and we've won every game this season he's been to.
dune Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Luckily, your heroes haven't put up VAT and won't be raising NI contributions or public sector pension contributions. Luckily, too, inflation isn't on the rise and interest rates won't be going up, so I'm well placed to be able to cope with paying the Cortese Ta.......Ohh. And luckily we didn't have a tax and spend/tax and borrow Labour government that left us with the largest budget deficit in the G20.
dune Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 This is the start of a big 7 days for us where we play 3 games to huddersfields 1 (tuesday, saturday, tuesday). 3 points is a must tonight with two tricky away games coming up. Get 3 points tonight and let's see if Hudderfield start to rock. Tough game for Posh tonight away at Dag and red.
Roger Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 And luckily we didn't have a tax and spend/tax and borrow Labour government that left us with the largest budget deficit in the G20. Nothing to do with a world banking crisis. The same government who gave us growth for 11 years. Rather have them than this joke of a coalition.
The Cat Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Charlton may have BWP out, injured? Late fitness test on his ankle according to SSN.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 This is probably the most straightforward of the 3 games in hand we have on Huddersfield. we really need the win and then we can settle for draws. Drawing this one would not be good.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 A lot of Charlton fans on their forum are surprisingly confident, with many of them predicting an away win.
Appy Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 A lot of Charlton fans on their forum are surprisingly confident' date=' with many of them predicting an away win.[/quote'] One win in 12 will do that for you.
ottery st mary Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 I was a 4-0 win but not being greedy 3-0 to the mighty Saints..
SouthlondonSaint Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 4 - 1 win and I can go to work tomorrow and smile at all my Charlton supporting work mates!!
CWD Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 4-2 saints. I won't be able to follow the game, probably a good thing as I don't reckon my nerves would take it!
Micky Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Another draw tonight, but a win Saturday. Udders to lose against Posh, so no wrist slitting tonight. May we bridge jump if we loose....?????
dune Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 After sucessfully predicting 5 correct results at the weekend here is todays winning selection; Real Madrid to beat Spurs @ 2/5 Peterborough to beat Dag & Red @ 11/10 Orient to beat Plymouth @ 4/6 Sheff Wed to beat Tranmere @ 5/6 Saints to beat Charlton @ 4/9 £25 stake with a safety net (meaning you can get one wrong) collects £217.79 if all correct OR a minimum return of £25.75 if one result is wrong.
scotty Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Is it too much to ask that we get the match more or less buried in the first half for once? I dont think my nerves can take another must-win comeback. And fwiw, I havent been to a league game this season where we havent won, and Im going tonight.....
Ken Tone Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Is it too much to ask that we get the match more or less buried in the first half for once? I dont think my nerves can take another must-win comeback. And fwiw, I havent been to a league game this season where we havent won, and Im going tonight..... There is no such thing as 'buried' for a Saints game. Were you not at the Leeds game where we were 3 up at home well into the game, and still lost ? I can get more worried when we're 2 up than when we're nil all!
Ziggy Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Just about to set off. What's the weather like down South?
toofarnorth Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Just about to set off. What's the weather like down South? Cloudy but no rain. Pitch should be nice and zippy as we've had rain through the day.
Matthew Le God Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Cloudy but no rain. Pitch should be nice and zippy as we've had rain through the day. Even if we hadn't had rain they would have had the sprinklers on anyway just before kick off to make it zippy.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 3-1 Saints. We've gotta do this and do it well.
dannysfc Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Will be setting off for the game in 30-45 Mins even tho I live about 20-25 Mins away from the ground as I am collecting my match ticket for Leyton Orient on Saturday and my travel ticket for Rochdale for next Tuesday and I am getting tickets for my brothers who are also going aswell as I'm a Good Brother lol! Am also going to go for 3-1 Saints tonight with Lambert, Barnard n Lalanna/Hammond for Saints n BWP for Charlton If he does play which I hope not as I can more than likely see him score against us but we'l see! Also with the attendance 18,500 aint bad for a Tuesday night but 20,000 would be Pretty Good though IMO! COYR !!
corsacar saint Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 A potential banana skin,who knows what that win at the weekend will do for their confidence. Hoping for a straight forward win,but when have Saints had one recently.
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Power cut at the moment in Netley and Weston. This won't affect the game, I presume. Does anybody know if the power is still on at St. Mary's? We are ok here at Hamble for the moment.
eastleighhalo Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 IMO we will start with the same set up as Saturday but with Fraser replacing Butters and Dale replacing Chaps ..they have earned a break.. Guly to score at least 2 goals.
SuperMikey Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 2-1 Saints. This will not be easy. Lallana 62 Forte 77
SuperSAINT Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Tricky game. Depends which Charlton turn up. They've still got quality in their side & BWP's pace will no doubt give us some problems. I'll take a win, no matter how we play.
Pilchards Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 Two things. Butterfield is a good attacking option while Forte is a trump card off the bench. same 11 please unless it's Stephens for Guly.
Supersubpuckett Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 They will feel confident and will attack us but we'll take them apart like we should have done at the valley - at least 4-0
Scoobysaint Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 4-1 to Saints. Early charlton goal followed by an equaliser before HT. Goal early in 2nd half before 62 and 73rd mins goals! Lallana, Lambert (pen), Barnard 2.
suewhistle Posted 5 April, 2011 Posted 5 April, 2011 3-2 Saints. At least one overdue pen for us. That's a good point. When did we last get a penalty?
