trousers Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 @officialsaints: Saints substitutes: K. Davis (GK), Hooiveld, Ward-Prowse, Guly, Shaw, Mayuka, Puncheon. #saintsfc
trousers Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 No Cork then. Aye. Thought he was fit again?
Saintjersey Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Hopefully Cork will be back on the bench for the Swansea game.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Despite being a striker, J-Rod offers far more defensively than Punch IMO. Also we can change that formation, Could be a midfield 3 of Davis, Morgan and Lallana with J-Rod and Gaston either side of Rickie. Rickie in the whole behind J-Rod with Lallana and Gaston wide. Lambert up top with Gaston playing behind with J-rod and Lallana wide would be my bet though. Lots of fluidity available though.
Dazza82 Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 West Brom team: Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Yacob, Mulumbu, Odemwingie, Gera, Dorrans, Long. #saintsfc
Colinjb Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 This would be the 'Kitchen Sink' approach?Bring it on!!
Suhari Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Mixed feelings. Not sure there is enough pace in that side. Would have preferred Mayuka to J-Rod. That said he is a decent impact player. Time for J-Rod to step up. Potentially a lot of fluidity there though.
Tractor_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Really excited to see this team tonight. Interesting to see why Boruc has been dropped - was it for that incident? Anyhow, I'm confident with this team and think we'll take it 4-1 but they'll score first
Winchester Red Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 J-Rods been getting better and better Mayuka had a chance against Leeds and didn't take it
Stu Man Do Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Anyone know why it's taken more than a week to sort out this Boruc stuff? Seems that it could have been dealt with by now but hoping gazza will play a blinder.
bpsaint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Just seen a Baggie waving a Pompey flag get knocked sparko for his efforts near the ground, made my night anyway. Suprised by lack of Boruc, guess the water bottle incident is being taken pretty seriously.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 What has Mayuka got to do to get a game? Not play awfully in his only start?
Thedelldays Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 This would be the 'Kitchen Sink' approach?Bring it on!! yep.....imagine failing to score with that line up lol
Nexstar Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Can't really argue with that team. We know we can't defend, so let's throw everything we've got at them.
Thedelldays Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Can't really argue with that team. We know we can't defend, so let's throw everything we've got at them. pretty daft attitude really...we shall see be interesting how this plays out...WBA are going for 3 in the middle and 1 up top
Turkish Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Think we could be going for **** or bust tonight with RL,JR and GR all starting,sounds like a last chance saloon job for NA. Well it looks like you were right about the first part........
Winchester Red Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Problem is if you start getting defensive with the midfield it'll probably mean we'll stop scoring and it probably won't make the defense any better - but who knows I'll be happy with a 6-5 win
St Chalet Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 This is our best back four available. Fingers crossed it is good enough.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 This is our best back four available. Fingers crossed it is good enough. The pace of Long against our back four is frightening- hope Clyne's got his running boots on (rather than his usual falling over boots)
Turkish Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 The pace of Long against our back four is frightening- hope Clyne's got his running boots on (rather than his usual falling over boots) He's not THAT quick....
Thedelldays Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 its roughly a 442 then.... no 433..? boruc dropped because of the incident last week
James Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 its roughly a 442 then.... no 433..? 442 with Gaston and Adam on the flanks. JRod and Rickie up front. Good team
Winchester Red Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Madkins just make it sound more 4 2 2 2 or 4 2 4
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Adkins confirms Boruc out because of the incident and made it sound like 2 up front...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 He's not THAT quick.... Long or Clyne?
Saint Garrett Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Hope it's not a 442. Even if it means Lambert drops in behind J-Rod it would be better. Playing 442 will cause us big problems in the middle IMO.
student Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Yoshida any time goal scorer at 16/1 might have to take a punt
Bensfcno1 Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Your ****ing joking me.... drop Boruc cz he had a little spat and threw a plastic bottle in the direction of the fans, which happen to be sat behind the goal he keeps his bottle in. Perhaps the **** heads given him **** for a goal which was not his fault should be banned for coming to St Marys along with the over ****s that seem to enjoy just sitting ther slagging our players off, instead of singing to support the team. I dont blame players for getting ****ed off with fans, we have been terrible for 75% of games at home this season (the fans that is).
Turkish Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Long or Clyne? Long. Although i'm sure he could make Fonte look like he was running with cement casts on.
sfc4prem Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Hope it's not a 442. Even if it means Lambert drops in behind J-Rod it would be better. Playing 442 will cause us big problems in the middle IMO. It's surely a 4222 with Gaston and Lallana given freedom to roam as the attacking midfielders?

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Long. Although i'm sure he could make Fonte look like he was running with cement casts on. Indeed. Let's hope that if someone is running through our entire midfield today someone takes one for the team and takes him out.
Raging Bull Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Well said. Apart from it You're for your first word. It's it's not it
Turkish Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Very good analysis by Gary Nevllie again. The shape is good, just very poor defensive errors. Spot on.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Very good analysis by Gary Nevllie again. The shape is good, just very poor defensive errors. Spot on. Was about to say the same.
Saint86 Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Quality defense of Nigel by Gary Neville there. Do people still think its all his fault and must go?
Raging Bull Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Your correct. It'd be too childish to pick you up on this 1
Dig Dig Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 So we're not far too open according to Neville? Nothing more Adkins can about defensive shape...
Bensfcno1 Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Well said. Apart from it's You're for your first word. Thanks for that ;-) need a spell checker on here! Although would probably break in over load at times!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Quality defense of Nigel by Gary Neville there. Do people still think its all his fault and must go? Yes, but, playing devil's advocate, is that not worse in the big picture? It means there's nothing we can do until January, unless our mistake-prone defenders stop making mistakes!
saintbob40 Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Smacks of last chance saloon for me-looks far too attacking with our defensive record. Death or glory for Adkins. A lot will depend on how much the players want to keep him. Nil nil is not a good bet......
Turkish Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 It'd be too childish to pick you up on this 1 I guess the "joke" was lost on you.
scotty Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Head: WBA 3 Saints 1 Heart: WBA 1 Saints 2 COME ON HEART! That, my friend, is exactly the pint bet I have with another poster on here. I'm the Saints 2-1 btw.
