JRM Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Watford have sold just over 1000 tickets in advance, with a superb weather forecast of temps up to 27 degrees on the south coast i can see them having 1500 odd at the game should help boost the attendance a bit http://www.watfordfc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10400~2465591,00.html
Window Cleaner Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 What!!! He was all over the pitch, covering for the gaps in our midfield. He saw a lot of the ball, which means he will make the odd mistake... but he was trying bloody hard last night. Normal really, he's playing in midfield !!! The midfield consisted of Morgan,Cork,Guly and Lallana. If Guly and Lallana aren't capable of doing their share of tracking back and defensive midfield work then the schema needs changing to one where there are 3 'midfielders" plus any one of Guly and Lallana and 2 purely offensive players. To me Lallana's weakness on the defensive side of the game is a big big handicap (not to mention his inefficiency in front of goal these last few games).

I think Adam is doing his fairshare of defensive duties this season TBH (at least at home I haven't seen him play away this season yet)
Window Cleaner Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 I think Adam is doing his fairshare of defensive duties this season TBH (at least at home I haven't seen him play away this season yet) Well I don't know, I've just looked at about 3 "full 90s" and he seemed a bit deficient on the defensive side but perhaps in those games it wasn't too important.
scott_saints Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 We need to win this one. 3-1 Saints. What if we don't?
farawaysaint Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 What if we don't? I make a very good punch? You can hardly taste the arsenic.
saintrich Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Davis Richardson Hooiveld Fonte Fox De Ridder Hammond Cork Lallana Lambert Guly Subs: Bialkowski, Martin, Schneiderlin, Chaplow, Connolly.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 We should easily smash this relegation outfit. 3-1/4-1 Saints
up and away Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Watford are a terrible side, but I have no idea if we will win this one or not.The problem being that we will be short of stamina on a roasting hot day. So unless you put in the effort, all that skill and class we have stays hidden and you are then playing Watfords game. Something I am sure they will be better at. Lallana is our talisman and unless he does the business, the rest just have not got it in them at the moment. I really feel we need someone fresh on the bench should things start to drag out, even if it means someone as raw as Sinclair. Really been disappointed with some of the recent results, because it underlines the samba football we have been playing may not be forever. Absolutely delighted with what we have done and no real right to get disappointed, but when you see something that good you just want more. Leicester showed the way to play against us, deny us the space in midfield and attack the space. Burnley and Cardiff did that, but it was only our own missing of chances that allowed them to get more out of those two games than they should. What's been worrying is the general malaise which has hit all of our forwards. Ricky has been no worse than others, but the Cardiff highlights do him no favours. He really should have stopped their goalie punting up for their goal, rather than monking about a penalty.
eurosaint Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 We should easily smash this relegation outfit. 3-1/4-1 Saints My mate at Reading said that a few weeks ago ! They lost 2-0 !
jamesfp1 Posted 30 September, 2011 Author Posted 30 September, 2011 Just noticed we are the only club of the top six at home this weekend
K,Billy's supersound Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 i would pick davis frazer fonte jos harding guly hammond morgan de ridder lambert connolly bart butterfeild cork chaplow lallana
shurlock Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Davis Richardson Hooiveld Fonte Fox De Ridder Hammond Cork Lallana Lambert Guly Subs: Bialkowski, Martin, Schneiderlin, Chaplow, Connolly. Like this team - also allows De Ridder and Guly to switch places if necessary. Chaplow's also close to justifying a start IMO.
Appy Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Watford haven't lost away yet this season We have won every home game, something has to give.
Tom28 Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 i would pick davis frazer fonte jos harding guly hammond morgan de ridder lambert connolly bart butterfeild cork chaplow lallana Attention seeking post. Don't know why I'm biting. Lallana and Cork on the bench? Why exactly?!
rshephard3 Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 Davis Richardson Fonte Jos Harding Guly Hammond Cork Lallana Lambert Connolly With De Ridder for Connolly or Guly in 2nd half when Watford have been softened up a bit. Need Hammond in from the start imo.
THEVMAN Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 AL has been playing with a calf injury for the last couple of games but should still be fit to start today.
Window Cleaner Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 wheels off the bus if we lose today? more like a slow puncture really
doddisalegend Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 wheels off the bus if we lose today? Hardly. I'd be pretty shocked if we stayed top of the table for the rest of the season HTBH
Saint-Armstrong Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 My team choice: Davis; Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Harding (if fit); De Ridder, Hammond, Cork, Lallana; Do Prado, Lambert.
del boy Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 Someone must have called this the first "must win" game by now?
Bad Wolf Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 Davis Richardson Hooiveld Fonte Fox De Ridder Hammond Cork Lallana Lambert Guly Subs: Bialkowski, Martin, Schneiderlin, Chaplow, Connolly. This.
hutch Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 What better chance to open up a gap than against Watford?
trousers Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 @jordansibley: Saints Vs Watford: Davis. Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox. De Ridder, Hammond©, Cork, Lallana. Guly, Lambert #saintsfc
sperm_john Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 What better chance to open up a gap than against Watford? i see what you did there ....lol
trousers Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 @jordansibley: On the bench for Saints today are: Bialkowski, Schneiderlin, Martin, Chaplow and Holmes. Connolly misses out with a knock. #saintsfc
DG Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 That's ok we'll just get Holmes on to belt a few crosses in for Rickie. Any news on Barnard though? I thought he'd be back by now.
Dalek2003 Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 We need to steady the ship, predict a win, reasonably happy with a draw. After Watford we have some tough games ahead so three points would be useful.
Dalek2003 Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 @jordansibley: On the bench for Saints today are: Bialkowski, Schneiderlin, Martin, Chaplow and Holmes. Connolly misses out with a knock. #saintsfc Connolly is our most cultured striker but he seems to spend a lot of time in the treatment room.
Mattio Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 what time does the saintsplayer commentary start?
THEVMAN Posted 1 October, 2011 Posted 1 October, 2011 what time does the saintsplayer commentary start?Hit and miss im afraid could be 2.59 for all we know
