trousers Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 @TonyHusbandBBC: Hugely positive Nigel Adkins interview this afternoon, defended decision to leave Lambert out, confident his team will bounce back.#saintsfc
trousers Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 No mention of Lee. Who? Do we have a player by that name?
Cheese on Toast Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 Who? Do we have a player by that name? Isn't he on loan at Bournemouth?
Saint Garrett Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20048383 Lawro has gone for a 2-0 defeat...that must be the most common prediction he's made this season. And looks like someones been snooping on the forum! http://www.tottenblog.com/2012/10/spurs-are-in-different-universe-to-us.html Edited 26 October, 2012 by Saint Garrett
Maggie May Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 We'll lose but it won't be heavy. Perhaps a late 1-0. I think there will be more emphasis on defence but we'll lack fire power up front. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lambert dropped again for J-Rod.
benjii Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 Gaston, Cork, Frazer still injured, Fox and Shaw resumed training today. Sounds like Yoshi at LB again then....GULP! I would sooner play Butterfield at RB and Clyne at LB than have Yoshida out there again. I have been impressed with him at CB but not at all at full-back.
Cheese on Toast Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 I would sooner play Butterfield at RB and Clyne at LB than have Yoshida out there again. I have been impressed with him at CB but not at all at full-back. Or at least play Hooiveld at the left and Yoshida in the middle, so we're more solid in the middle, and at least Hooiveld would be less likely to score an own goal..
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 Or at least play Hooiveld at the left and Yoshida in the middle, so we're more solid in the middle, and at least Hooiveld would be less likely to score an own goal.. He'd still be in the box for corners; ample opportunity to smash another one into our own net.

Window Cleaner Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 This. I'd forgotten about Butters to be fair. so has Nigel, or seemingly so. Not in contention for the PL I fear.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 By the way, do I need to clap Bale or boo him on his return? Don't want to be out of sync, you know!

trousers Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 @officialsaints: Here's a free-to-view video of Nigel Adkins talking about Sunday's game against @SpursOfficial: http://t.co/vEpPaCxK #saintsfc
hasper57saint Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 We should holler at Bale "If you want to come back Gareth,we'll forgive you" !!!!!!
gammon cheeks Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 Break his legs PULL HIS EARS BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE .
the saint in winchester Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 I would sooner play Butterfield at RB and Clyne at LB than have Yoshida out there again. I have been impressed with him at CB but not at all at full-back. Agree with that comment. BBC site game preview says Tadanari Lee is available for selection. However, it also says Luke Shaw is in line for his first start .... so may be conjecture all round.
VectisSaint Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 I'm hearing Gaston could be a sub against spurs. He was certainly involved in training, and can be seen playing, not just light training. NA said Lee was back in training today, when clearly he has been training for some time. He also mentioned Fox had been out with hamstring, thought it was a groin.
captainchris Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 To be fair, the only info we really get is the pre match interviews which are taking place today I think. Why would NC have anything to say in regards to this game ?! I take your point but I wasn't intimating that NC should talk before this game particularly - just more often......generally...However preferable more from the manager and staff - playing or coaching...
saint_disco123 Posted 26 October, 2012 Posted 26 October, 2012 going for a 2-0 to saints, lets get mayuka and lambert starting up front together!
Appy Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 going for a 2-0 to saints, lets get mayuka and lambert starting up front together! That won't happen.
brightspark Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 Bale's my captain for Fantasy Football this week so hopefully he'll bag all of Spurs' goals and make the viewing a little less uncomfortable. Saints 2-4 Spurs
shurlock Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 I'm hearing Gaston could be a sub against spurs. Unless NA is playing mind games, was pretty adamant on the OS that he's out. So are Cork and Richardson. Fox, Shaw and Lee all training -Lee being closest to match fitness.
beatlesaint Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 I do hope Mr Richard Lambert is in the starting eleven........even if its at centre back
Saint Garrett Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 After watching NA's interview, I think Rickie will start the majority of home games while J-Rod is more likely to start away
Thedelldays Posted 27 October, 2012 Author Posted 27 October, 2012 After watching NA's interview, I think Rickie will start the majority of home games while J-Rod is more likely to start away ridiculous
beatlesaint Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 ridiculous dont expect to pick up many points away then if that happens. I agree, ridiculous.
shurlock Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 After watching NA's interview, I think Rickie will start the majority of home games while J-Rod is more likely to start away Which you can make a half-decent case for. Obviously if Rickie has an excellent home game, you wouldn't drop him for the following away game. Likewise if Jrod plays poorly, you wouldn't rigidly stick with him but on paper he fits a counter attacking system better than Lambert.
Roger Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 I'm hearing Gaston could be a sub against spurs. Where from is this true? Thought it was four weeks? Need to VMAN
Saint Charlie Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 NA on Saints Player said Ramirez is still recovering from his injury, but the videos show him and Cork training with everyone else. Would imagine Ramirez will be fine for WBA and Cork will probably start v Leeds.
paris Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 Feeling positive re tomorrow , wouldn't be surprised to see GR on the bench ...................
Window Cleaner Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 Feeling positive re tomorrow , wouldn't be surprised to see GR on the bench ................... that would be good because it looks as if we may need a result to keep us in the bunch and not be tailed off.
Thedelldays Posted 27 October, 2012 Author Posted 27 October, 2012 that would be good because it looks as if we may need a result to keep us in the bunch and not be tailed off. notice how the other teams have tightened up too
the saint in winchester Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 I was with a Spurs fan this morning, and he tells me Bale is NOT PLAYING due to injury - 2 weeks out. We'll see if that is true, won't we?
Appy Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 notice how the other teams have tightened up too Yeah, I mean Reading let in 3.
VectisSaint Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 that would be good because it looks as if we may need a result to keep us in the bunch and not be tailed off. 3 points tomorrow will see us in 16th above Villa and Norwich and within touching distance of another few teams.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 3 points tomorrow will see us in 16th above Villa and Norwich and within touching distance of another few teams. As long as we can get them then. I fancy us for a win, but then I always do, just like last week.
Thedelldays Posted 27 October, 2012 Author Posted 27 October, 2012 3 points tomorrow will see us in 16th above Villa and Norwich and within touching distance of another few teams. or a defeat and we will start to get cut adrift of 14-15th place
Saint Without a Halo Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 With Fox Shaw Richardson Butterfield Ramierez Cork and Lee injured we are not having a lot of luck either with the fixtures or getting our best side out and settled hopefully Fox is fit for tomorrow and Cork Shaw and Lee for Leeds and the with the others bar Ramierez all pretty close to getting back, Adkins will have more selection options soon
VectisSaint Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 or a defeat and we will start to get cut adrift of 14-15th place No, a defeat will leave us in exactly the same position as we are now (apart from a worse GD and 1 game less to play). Do you consider we are already cut adrift? I think we will lose tomorrow, but was just pointing out a fact, that the margins are still very small between the bottom and the middle of the league.
VectisSaint Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 With Fox Shaw Richardson Butterfield Ramierez Cork and Lee injured we are not having a lot of luck either with the fixtures or getting our best side out and settled hopefully Fox is fit for tomorrow and Cork Shaw and Lee for Leeds and the with the others bar Ramierez all pretty close to getting back, Adkins will have more selection options soon Only Cork and Richardson seem to be longish term, quite clear from SaintsPlayer that GR is not far off, Lee has been training for some time already, and Fox's injury is somewhat mysterious, I didn't know you had a hamstring in your groin. It really wouldn't surprise me to see Ramirez and Lee on the bench for tomorrow. I can't make up my mind whether I want Fox to be fit or not :-) Really ****ed off actually to be missing the game, and with it not on TV either. Bloody plastics buying tickets for games before I got mine :-(
Matthew Le God Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 Only Cork and Richardson seem to be longish term What makes you think that? They can both be seen training in the videos.

VectisSaint Posted 27 October, 2012 Posted 27 October, 2012 What makes you think that? They can both be seen training in the videos. Must admit I didn't notice Cork, perhaps I've forgotten what he looks like. If so then that's good news.
