Griffo Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 After playing poorly today, we probably will need to play much better on Saturday to get a win at Brighton. It also depends on what sort of mood Brighton are in. Gus Poyet was quoted somewhere saying that if/when they went up then the remaining games would be used to try out younger players in the first team. Hopefully that is the case. With Huddersfield playing away at MK Dons and Peterborough away at Orient on Friday, let's hope at least one of them will drop points and we'll still be in a decent position come Saturday. Hopefully Lallana is back for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanimal Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 We did NOT play poorly! We had 24 goal attemptsFFS! And we were up against 12 men! A week off will do everyone good I think, 5 games in 15 days is too much for some people to take in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 Gus Poyet was quoted somewhere saying that if/when they went up then the remaining games would be used to try out younger players in the first team. Hopefully that is the case. I was thinking this earlier and I reckon this is our only real hope of getting anything from the game. If he plays a full-strength team, with no pressure on them as the title is already seasled, it would be hard to bet against anything other than yet another home win.

S-Clarke Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 I see no reason why we can't go there and get all 3 points. We had a game against Norwich last season, they hadn't lost at home in god knows how long, were top of the table as champions elect and we went away 2-0 winners. We've shown this season to perform better against the ''better'' teams, so I'm pretty confident. A defeat wouldn't be a disaster but it would put a lot of pressure on our remaining games.

SuperMikey Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 Lets hope that Brighton play a weaker team against us - on our day we can beat them but with the amount of injuries we've got at the moment (especially to key players) then it's looking very unlikely we'll take 3 points from them at home, against a full-strength Brighton team.

I think we did that because it was the first time we had played well nearly all season, and against Southampton who, as we know, are a big club and our south coast neighbours. I know we are nothing compared to Pompey in your eyes, but as Palace are in the league above, you and Ballmouth are the closest rivals we have. Also, being Poyet's first game in charge made it that much more special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's where we differ though. I, personally, as would a lot of my fellow Albion supporters I feel, would be quite upset at the prospect of a club going out of business. Well, in the recent case of Plymouth we certainly feel for them. It depends why I guess, but I would care if you went out of business. I don't think it is sad we released a dvd, as our fans were absolutely amazed at how comprehensively we beat you and we played really well so we released the dvd.

When you guys were in the serious **** a few years back, plenty of saints (and others, nothing special about us on that one) tried to help. I think there are a few Southampton fans who are simply getting a bit tired of fans of other clubs (clubs for whom lots of us have sympathy or good feeling for), suddenly decide that we're the nastiest thing since the porno shots of Rooney's last conquest. Regarding the dvd game, are you talking about the 2-3 at our place last season? You might need to watch it again (or just check the scoreline), as I think you have built it up a little.

south Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 Since the mainstream media is obsessed with the Premier League, not sure there is a problem with any club releasing a DVD when (once in blue moon their club) is involved in a live televised game.
