Lighthouse Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 A nice midweek home game for us and definitely one we should be aiming to win. I'd go with the same side that started at Leeds, injuries permitting and depending on Lallana's fitness. COYR!! WASWTOTL!! etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 There's no way I'd start with the same 11. That starting 11 were horrific int he first half yesterday and players like Hammond have to start on Tuesday. I'd pull Cork out of the firing line and replace him with Hammond, and also drop Puncheon who I thought was flaming awful. Lallana 'should' be back.

Jimmy_D Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Anyone for a rendition of 'Super Kelvin Davis' to greet him onto the pitch on Tuesday night? That result will bring the team right together, with all of them riding the bounce of beating Leeds like that, I'm confident we'll get a result.

True, but Leeds away and Tractors at home are two completely different prospects. Thinking about it, if Lallana isn't fit I might go with Chaplow left and De Ridder on the right.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Surely Sharp will be involved in some capacity, though I think Lee has been excellent so far and would start him if he is fit. We could always play Sharp, Lambert and Lee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's started he's never been better than average. His contribution this season has been the goal at Reading and little else. Lallana should be back but if he isn't then Guly to start with Sharp up top. Lee on the bench, it's clear the jet lag caught up with him yesterday as he could only manage a half. not sure about Hammond back in. We'll have more of the ball Tuesday and Cork and Schniderlin are better that. Hammond is good at breaking play up so was needed yesterday, would depend on the fitness and fatigue of Cork and Schniderlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Fox went off yesterday in the 2nd half injured, groin I think so don't see him playing Tuesday night. Hope Lallana is fit. My team: Davis Richardson - Hooiveld - Fonte - Harding Guly - Hammond - Schneiderlin - Lallana Lambert - Lee Subs: Martin, Cork, Chaplow, Sharp, Connolly Freshen things up a bit I think.

Badger Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I too expect Sharp will start, and Hammond will play instead of Cork. Main concerns are the wide players,hope AL is fully recovered.If not then it will probably be Chaplow and Guly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Coat Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Ipswich are playing very well at the moment and definitely one of the in form sides. I don't think they will be a pushover for sure. It will be a much harder game than the away fixture earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 (edited) Lallana ?????? Hopefully THEVMAN will be able to give us some more information on his progress, but I don't think he'll be fit for Tuesday. Much rather have him fully fit for Saturday tbh. Edit: Having just seen that THEVMAN has already posted about Adam, I would put him on the bench instead of Punch and then start him on Saturday.

beatlesaint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Why would you go with De Ridder? He's contributed about 30 decent minutes in his time here. Simply because, and ignoring delldays sarcastic little comment, I believe he would be better than Puncheon was at Leeds. No other reason than that.

Lighthouse Posted 4 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Simply because, and ignoring delldays sarcastic little comment, I believe he would be better than Puncheon was at Leeds. No other reason than that. He's been pretty good in the very limited outings he has had thus far. As for the Reading goal being his only contribution, that would be true if he hadn't scored against Cardiff, Coventry and Torquay. His goals and assist this season stack up favourably compared to any other midfielder, with the exception of Lallana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Simply because, and ignoring delldays sarcastic little comment, I believe he would be better than Puncheon was at Leeds. No other reason than that. Apart from the Reading game, when has he contributed anything of note this season? When was his last decent performance? Yes i understand people are fooled into thinking he's good because he's quick and run around a lot but in terms of final ball, finishing and moments of any quality, i'm struggling to think of more than a couple this season. To be blunt all he offers is a lot of effort but not a lot of quality. I agree Puncheon wasn't very good yesterday, but neither were those around him in midfield. Even in his sort time back with us he's offered more than De Ridder has. He was very good against Cardiff and Birmingham and then out of the side. I'd play Guly, Puncheon and Chaplow ahead of De Ridder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goals and assist this season stack up favourably compared to any other midfielder, with the exception of Lallana. He really hasn't. His goal against coventry was a defensive cock up and it almost hit him and went in. He's okay for 15 minutes when he comes on but after that fades out of the game. When he's started, he's often been pretty awful. The fact that Nige has picked him so rarely for a start and at the moment he cant get near the squad suggests he thinks the same as well.

dune Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Looking at Ispwich's form it reads WWWWLW. On the road they haven't been as good though going down 3-0 at Brighton in their last away, and with 2 wins by single goal margins at Coventry and Portsmouth. This is going to be a tough game.

bpsaint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 All the hard work yesterday will have been for nothing if we don't take all the points Tuesday. Ipswich are more than capable of a shock so we need to be professional about this game. Hopefully AL is back,even on the bench would be great. Bring BS in and rest TL ready for the Barnsley game with DC on the bench as cover. Would like to see SDR on the bench too if AL is unfit so we have a pace injection if needed.

I've never understood these sort of comments. It wont be for nothing, because we got 3 points yesterday. The hard work yesterday would have been for nothing if we'd lost yesterday because we'd have got nothing. THe hard work yesterday was great but we need to put the same effort in tomorrow to make sure the effort of both games count for something.

lethallee Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I think we will go Chaplow left, Guly Right with Lee and Lambert continuing up front. Lallana on bench with possibly de Riddler. Ipswich have been very unpredictable this season but based on their recent form i suspect this could be a very tough game. We have struggled against teams who press us high up pitch. Be interesting to see what tactics they employ. 3-2 Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I like DeRidder, he has been a little unlucky because he has either played in a reserve team or mostly when we weren't playing well. He certainly made a massive difference after coming on at half time when we were losing against Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Will be a tricky game. Ipswich remind me of Peterborough in league 1 from last year. Ships goals, but can hurt you going forward. I'm hoping they'll open up against us, and we can get some joy against them. Don't think it's in their nature to sit back and stop us playing.

beatlesaint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Apart from the Reading game, when has he contributed anything of note this season? When was his last decent performance? Well funnily enough it was when he had a little, and I mean little, run in the side, around Christmas. Played very well against Palace and Bristol City.

Pamplemousse Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I think Lallana should be rested until Saturday, we've won without him in the side and I think we can do so again, bring him on after 60 minutes if necessary.

Played very well against Palace and Bristol City. Then he picked up an injury and was back out the side. Really? That's not how I remember it. I recall him being dire along with everyone else against City and average against Palace. He runs about a lot but in reality does very with the ball. He needs 8 attempts to get one decent cross in. Don't get me wrong, if they can do a bit of work with him on the training ground would could have a hell of a player on our hands. Right now though he isn't getting near our first team and rightly so. He is popular with a lot of fans because he's quick, just like Antonio was and for some that is all that seems to matter and in far more important than what they do with the ball when they get it.
