we have scored 4 in the last 3 games and one blokes scored all of them . I know .... 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 .

Anyone staying around Clapham Junction for a few jars? 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).

That will be great,but unlikely if Nigel picks the "fans" scapegoat

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.

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

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

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.

That news doesn't exactly fill me with optimism. Let's hope they get bogged down in the wet pitch.

my worries are over, Paul McShane is likely to return to the Palace side.

 

Actually palace fans rate him. Williams and Wright missing tho.

Can I just add : 5,800 Saints fans at Palace today? That's an impressive turnout. Kudos to those going - what with money being as tight as it is these days for many. I hope - come the full time whistle - they are absolutely delighted & ecstatic & the journey was worthwhile.

Funnily enough, I was thinking that if I were Palace, I'd create a really heavy pitch, knowing that Saints had played on Friday and would probably tire in the last 10 mins.

Palace have had less time to recover than us for this game.

Both Palace and Saints played Saturday so I'm not sure that would be much of an advantage. 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.

Any chance of a stream for the game?

 

There are no streams for this game alas. However, I have streams for the West Ham v Birmingham game - so I'm going to watch that game with the sound turned down whilst listening to Saints on Solent.

The WHU V Brum is a late kick off mate, on Sky at 5pm I think.

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.

Pre match build up / chill out A couple of homemade Margeritas and Tex Mex platter by the pool.

 

Selection of Real Ales for the match - best avoid London Pride today though!!.

 

COYS - Fonte to break his duck this season with the old club chestnut.

Been watching the video of the Boxing Day game, my did we look good that day,looked like we had Cork and Morgan the other way round,then I watched the extended highlights of the Pompey match, couldn't believe it was the same side with the same manager.
