Lets drop him , because he doesnt play "the saints way ". I do wonder about some people . Simple fact is sharp scores goals at this level, has scored our last 4 goals and must start .

We are going to look at grabby a full English around there then heading to a watering hole before heading down to Thornton Heath but don't know any pubs round there...? Quite a few pubs that do food around there - the 'Slag & Legless' (slug & lettuce) and The Falcon are just out of the Station main entrance and left. If you want a bit more up market head to Northcote Rd (about 10 min walk) - out of main exit, turn left, past those two pubs, then cross the road and walk down St Johns Rd (big Debenhams on corner) past McDonalds, M&S etc. Northcote Rd will be right in front of you. The Northcote, All Bar One, The Bank all do food. Also The Goat (turn left at end of St. Johns Rd onto Battersea Rise). http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=northcote+road+london&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari#q=northcote+road+london+pubs&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=u&source=univ&tbm=plcs&ei=-YSCT7-ABcrd8AOFof2TBg&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=more-results&resnum=4&ved=0CDMQtQMwAw&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=1843d8e761f23933&biw=1024&bih=672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 9 April, 2012 Share Posted 9 April, 2012 Still think we may see more wholesale changes. NA did it at the end of last season when there were two games in quick succession - it's a squad game. May see any or all of Butterfield, Harding, Chaplow, Puncheon, Barnard and possibly even Martin for Fonte, who looks tired, and a youngster or two on the bench. Big risk maybe, but maybe the challenge to step up and do it for the squad could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 9 April, 2012 Share Posted 9 April, 2012 Big news for today? I am NOT COOKING FARKING CHICKEN. Thank FOOK for the point against the skates, if we'd lost that I would have been doomed for all eternity. Also, bit weird having a game on a working day (down here) makes for a very strange build up. ............Davis.............. Butterfield/Richardson ... Jose...Jos.... Fox SDR/Guly.....DH...JC.......AL ......Sharp.....Lambert/Guly Martin, Chappers, Puncheon/SDR, LB, Harding (JWP or Falque only if Nige thinks JP has lost the plot again) With MS out Fox is our back up keeper. IF Fox is rested then Bart has to be on the bench. IF Lambert is 100% for both this AND Reading then Guly at RM with Richardson IF not then Guly up front and Butters behind SDR - just don't think SDR & Richardson are a good mix, but FAR prefer Richardson at FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted 9 April, 2012 Share Posted 9 April, 2012 It' ll be tough today, although they have nothing to play for, they will still put up a fight. I'd go with: ---------------KD--------------- FR----JF------------JH-------DF SDR------DH--------JC-------AL ---------BS--------RL---------- Palace play wide football, with attacking fullbacks and wingers, the Diamond just wouldn't work today, it would leave our fullbacks too exposed. Butterfield could play instead of Richardson and De Ridder was awful v Palace earlier this season. My prediction: 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 9 April, 2012 Share Posted 9 April, 2012 Interesting to note that in our first 5 or 6 games, when we started like an express train, we played Hammond and Cork in the middle; Morgan was not involved. My point being, much as he (Morgan) is a loss, we can clearly still do well without him Absolutely - we have quality in our squad that our opponents dream about. It's more about holding our nerve - we have the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing about Saints this season that has impressed me it's the improved fitness levels. It's the lack of pace that can do for us though.

Surrey Saint Posted 9 April, 2012 Share Posted 9 April, 2012 Am v. nervous about this one. I know it's not technically true but this is surely a 'must win' game. At least in terms of retaining/regaining team confidence and fans optimism that we WILL be promoted this year. Can't help feeling Palace are due a win after a run of poor form, but then so are we after some costly mistakes in two previous games. Will be calmer at 3pm.
