Golden Balls Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 On Sky, new manager and maybe no Lallana. No chance. We'll probably win 3-0 now
Ohio Saint Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Call me over optimistic (because I am) but I think our run in to the end of the season will even surpass our form from the start of the season by winning everything at home, but with a better away record............There, you can blame me for saying that when we get our asses handed to us.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 1-1 imo which would be an excellent result.
Saint J 77 Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 On Sky, new manager and maybe no Lallana. No chance. We'll probably win 3-0 now I have just got a sneaky feeling we might win this one despite all the factors that seem to point to a possible bad result. Another 3 nil victory... I hope
maxi_sopez Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 just got my tickets. so expensive! but as i am currently living in leeds cant not go! people drinking in town before?
saints_is_the_south Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Leeds are nothing special and especially leaky at the back. We may have to mix it, which we have proved we can do and I see no reason why we shouldn't be coming away with a win. West Ham away to Cardiff on Sunday so a chance to go 4 points clear ahead of that game, and possibly stay 4 points clear come FT between Cardiff & the Hammers.
jawillwill Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 What's the liklihood of being able to buy tickets on the day at the ground?
Saint Garrett Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Adam Smith has been recalled by Spurs from Leeds, so won't be available Saturday for them
VectisSaint Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Is this the game Tadanari is away for International duty ? Only if the game has been moved to Wednesday. Japan v Uzbekistanis on WEdnesday 29th Feb. Whether he will be fit to play after a long flight back from Tokyo on Thursday is another question, but there is no reason for him not to be available other than jet lag (barring injury).
Saint Fan CaM Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Just the type of game to mess us up. Lambo and certainly Lallana will be doubtful, so it could be Sharp and Lee up front with Puncheon on the left meaning lack of cohesion in front of goal. Yep - this has 3-1 Leeds written all over it and there'll be calls for Adkins to be sacked on here f'sure. (;

Sour Mash Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 where have you got this from..? Made it up most likely.
farawaysaint Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 where have you got this from..? Adkins and Lambert have categorically stated he's fine, Lallana went for scans I think but last we heard (from the horse's mouth,) it was nothing serious so who knows where this info is from?
DrunkenSaint Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Davis fox jos fonte richardson(if fit)/butterfield Chaplow morgan cork lallana Lambert lee subs; martin, hammond, guly, puncheon, sharp. I would contemplate playing deano over morgan just because i can see it being a physical game especially in the centre on midfield. Then i wouldn't have Guly in the side. SDR would be a better choice just because he does get stuck in and his pace would be useful later in the game.
Sour Mash Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 Only if the game has been moved to Wednesday. Japan v Uzbekistanis on WEdnesday 29th Feb. Whether he will be fit to play after a long flight back from Tokyo on Thursday is another question, but there is no reason for him not to be available other than jet lag (barring injury). He'd be lucky to get indoors back in Southampton much before Friday morning, I'd guess Saints are flying up to Leeds Friday eve. He'll be knackered even if he doesn't play for Japan. Can see Sharp starting this one - he's had a few weeks to work on his fitness and has a bit of a point to prove now.

He'll be knackered even if he doesn't play for Japan. Can see Sharp starting this one - he's had a few weeks to work on his fitness and has a bit of a point to prove now. Agree with that. Plus he's a South Yorkshire lad, shouldn't need much motivation for a match at Leeds.
SuperMikey Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 ------------------DAVIS------------------- FRAZER-----FONTE-----HOOIVELD------FOX CHAPPY------CORK-----MORGAN---LALLANA ----------LAMBERT-----SHARP------------- Subs: Martin, Hammond, Puncheon, De Ridder, Connolly Lee probably won't travel with the squad for this one because he's flying to and from Japan in the space of a few days as well as playing an international fixture. I reckon Guly will be on the bench instead of Steve, but I would take Steve because his enthusiasm and directness will cause a rubbish Leeds defence all kinds of problems, whereas Guly will probably just get seven shades of sh!t kicked out of him if he tries to play his normal short-passing game. If Lallana isn't fit enough to start I would have Punch on the left instead and put Steve on around the 70 minute mark to capitalise on tired Leeds legs. Steve will want to get a game now and he will be unstoppable out there if he puts all of his effort into getting his place back in this squad.
DanW Posted 27 February, 2012 Posted 27 February, 2012 I agree with the theory of Lee not being with the squad on Saturday due to the international fixture for him on Wednesday AND because we play again on Tuesday. Adkins will tell him he's resting on Saturday so he can play the whole game on Tuesday, and then Sharp or Lambert or whoever needs it can have Tuesday off. That's a solid rotation move.

Easily back in time for game. Not saying he will play but no reason he can't.
Lighthouse Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 I'd go with the same team as Watford but with Sharp in for Lee and then De Ridder and Barnard on the bench instead of DC and Lee. Possibly Frazer in from Butters if he is fit.
dubai_phil Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 where have you got this from..? Post by THE VMAN after Watford game. words to the effect "AL is fine, but Saturday's game may come a bit soon for him..." Which I would interpret as he has a niggle and it may take more than a week to ease.
Jones91 Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Well so Echo says today that Lallana and Lambert are both fit to play, so thats that.
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 virgin/nippon arrive Heathrow mid afternoon THursday. Connecting flight to Leeds. Easily back in time for game. Not saying he will play but no reason he can't. Jet lag???
Orange Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 just got my tickets. so expensive! but as i am currently living in leeds cant not go! people drinking in town before? How far is it from the ground?
Sour Mash Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 How far is it from the ground? 30/40 mins walk, 15 mins in a bus with all the queues, 10mins if you can jump in a cab.
This Charming Man Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Post by THE VMAN after Watford game. words to the effect "AL is fine, but Saturday's game may come a bit soon for him..." Which I would interpret as he has a niggle and it may take more than a week to ease. Lallana tweeted after the game that he is fine.
VectisSaint Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Jet lag??? As I previously stated in my earlier post. The idea that he would not be back in time though is silly. On another point it will be interesting to see if Frazer is not available and Chung is not considered to be "fit" due to travelling whether we name a sub keeper or not.
Andy Durman Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 All things considered (first class etc) I actually don't see a problem for Lee being on the bench. Don't change your sleep pattern etc. Even if Lee wasn't on international duty I still think Adkins was going to pick Sharp. This boy is very hungry to achieve and this is just the game for him.
Thedelldays Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 richardson will no doubt make sure he is fit for this one
jamesfp1 Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Hate these stupid kick off times, just televise it at 3pm ffs!
Nexstar Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Hate these stupid kick off times, just televise it at 3pm ffs! No games are allowed to be televised on British TV kicking off at 3pm.
DanW Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 No games are allowed to be televised on British TV kicking off at 3pm. Is that true? Why?
Jack Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Is that true? Why? To encourage higher attendance in the football league. HTH.

svetigpung Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 If Lallana and Lambert are fit....we WILL win this one Sharp and Lambert up front will hopfully be too much for their week defence. If not , then i'm a bit woried , Donny all over again. Would settle for a draw. Drinking in pubs in the town or near the ground before the game?

Always found it very limited around the ground.
Give it to Ron Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 No games are allowed to be televised on British TV kicking off at 3pm. This may now change as a Skate pub landlady recently won a court case to allow her to show foreign channels showing games at 3pm. I think its being challenged over certain rights. http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16176516
ThreeSixty Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Sky should start showing premier league 3PM games multi choice style and blackout non sellouts.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 Made it up most likely. Wait and see... (;
Legod Third Coming Posted 28 February, 2012 Posted 28 February, 2012 No most football fans just use it as away to try and justify they're a bigger club (what ever that means) than whoever. Really if we get promoted as champions this season will anyone give a f.uck that WHU took 2000 more fans to Leeds for a game? Quite. The reason Man United take so many away fans, by the way, is that actually, the United fans at Elland road live in Menston, Skipton, Bradford... I would rather we beat Leeds 1-0 in an empty stadium than lost 4-3 in front of 35,000 travelling fans.
