Minty Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 I can't see any more hatred for us on their forums than I see on ours about other teams. Their injury crisis is good for us, and by the sounds of things we should look to profit from set pieces especially. I'm a bit nervous about the game, purely because of what is at stake, but I think we should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w4saint Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 I've watched Brentford a lot this season (brought up in Southampton but living locally) - don't want to tempt fate but I think it will be a reasonably straightforward game for Saints : Bees are a good L1 side (and much improved since the change in manager) and will be competitive - don't judge them by the JPT final which was dire- but have had a pretty dismal scoring record this season and a makeshift defence. The man to watch is Jeffrey Schlupp (really) who is on loan from Leicester - a raw young player but lightning quick and dangerous. I really don't understand the heat between the clubs (or at least the message boards) - one of the things that struck me when I started watching Brentford regularly (for a while we had season tickets at both clubs) was how much they were like Saints in the Dell days : tatty ground but a spirited vibrant club with attitude. And , of course, both have suffered at the hands of megalomaniacs and are coming out the other side - although Brentford do have pretty good financial backing they probably don't have the supporter base to compete with the likes of Fulham and QPR so it's always going to be a struggle. I don't think the postings on the message boards reflect the views of most people who go to GP and the stewards are generally pretty sensible so I hope the afternoon passes off well. And if anyone is looking for a place to celebrate The Griffin is easily the best pub in the immediate area (although a lot of Bees supporters will be there) or , if you are looking further afield for something more neutral, the Bell & Crown on the river near Kew Bridge is a great spot which always welcomes football fans. An afternoon of slightly mixed feelings for me but it would be great to see Saints get promoted after a competitive game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish he'd tried to close Alexander down a bit harder then. Free shot from 25 out, true Kelvin should have done better because it was scuffed. Dickson was shocking in that game...absolutely shocking.

The9 Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 Yep, the game from Monday ;-) quite unbelievable and should be investigated. Players still have their reputations to think about and wouldn't normally give away a goal like that. Not sure why they would give colchester special treatment exactly but the lack of effort in clearing the ball and the insincere frustration that followed was like nothing I've seen. All hell's gonna break loose if there's another example of that on Saturday Really ? They looked absolutely fcvking crap, but beyond that I'd like to know how you think an injured keeper palming it to a nearby defender who manages to blast it at a teammate from 5 yards away when trying to whack it off the pitch is anything unusual - it was only Calderon miskicking it to the striker that was even remotely dubious, and it WAS a miskick and he couldn't possibly have controlled it to put it there. He was amazed to have killed the ball blasted straight at him in the first place as it was ! So unless they had money on 1-1 there's no motive, and for about 60 minutes they looked like they had no chance of getting an equaliser anyway.

The9 Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 Even so I personally would much rather see Harding at left-back for all 3 games, same with Butterfield on the right. I'd rather Dickson plays against Brentford where he'll be motivated (not least by the crowd), rather than Plymouth when he'll be a bit gutted, judging by his twitter following tendencies. Harding on Monday freshens it up, especially after his performance on Monday this week, which was one of his best for Saints. Butterfield and Richardson are also pretty much interchangeable, and that also worked this weekend, so more of that and I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it just comes down to the fact they had no pressure to get a win and that makes me worried about their game with hudds who will be well up for it. Sure there will be a lot of people suspicious if that sort of thing goes on in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
