Colinjb Posted 26 November, 2012 Posted 26 November, 2012 (edited) A pattern is emerging! A pessimist is never disappointed. Edited 27 November, 2012 by Colinjb
Saint_Ash Posted 26 November, 2012 Posted 26 November, 2012 What a positive little chap! Seems ruddy will be out. He's the difference between a draw or loss to them. The front four have to keep peppering the goal a la against Newcastle.
SB Posted 26 November, 2012 Posted 26 November, 2012 As a Liverpool fan, Ricky will be looking ahead to Saturday I'm sure, Jay Rod to start.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 November, 2012 Posted 26 November, 2012 As a Liverpool fan, Ricky will be looking ahead to Saturday I'm sure, Jay Rod to start. Absolutely! I wouldn't be surprised if him and Nigel don't bother to turn up on Wednesday and just stay home and watch Bread box sets together.
Crab Lungs Posted 26 November, 2012 Posted 26 November, 2012 lets hope ruddy is out..he is a very good keeper Good keeper, but so is Bunn. Turner will be a big miss Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
pingwing Posted 26 November, 2012 Posted 26 November, 2012 Dear god predicetd a 2-0 by both Lawro and a Croatian tennis star... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20486485
thefunkygibbons Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Got a quid riding on this with a Norwich fan in my office COYR Okay - it is only a token bet, but keeping the momentum is vital until we get to mid table
saintmonkey1979 Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Absolutely! I wouldn't be surprised if him and Nigel don't bother to turn up on Wednesday and just stay home and watch Bread box sets together. What!?! No Liverbirds?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Nigel likes it but RL is too young. Sometimes they don't watch TV at all, just sit there listening to cast when games are on. Jay Rod has to start.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Dear god predicetd a 2-0 by both Lawro and a Croatian tennis star... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20486485 Only ManU Man C and us had two predicted wins with 2 goals difference in each! is this justified reward for our form or just poor tipsters? Norwich are on form too lets not forget with 3 clean sheets in their last 4 matches and have wins over Arsenal and Man U
Saint Without a Halo Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 The substitutions of Lambert and Ramirez tell me that Nigel Adkins wants to keep them as fresh as possible for mid-week. If we find ourselves in a good position v Norwich in the second half I would expect him to do the same. He as much as anyone will want to give it as good a go as possible at Anfield! Agreed though the Ramierez change was also influenced by the fact he was on a booking and getting a bit frustrated to say the least!
Ashby Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Dear god predicetd a 2-0 by both Lawro and a Croatian tennis star... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20486485 If only Lawro had been right every week then we would be comfortably midtable by now.
SB Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Absolutely! I wouldn't be surprised if him and Nigel don't bother to turn up on Wednesday and just stay home and watch Bread box sets together. Good from you Tokyo. Just watch Ricky's work rate, he will have one eye on Saturday.
Tony F Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 (edited) Personally, given Ricky's knock plus being pleased with JayRod's 20 minutes on Sunday and the Liverpool game being next up (and Ricky desperate to be in for it) , I not only expect JayRod to start tomorrow, but I would very much like to see him given a chance now we have a formation that everyone understands, with key players who are playing well. I think he could fill a subtley different role to Ricky - but I'd like to see him given the chance to show it. Ricky on the bench maybe....... Edited 27 November, 2012 by Tony F General maintenance - spelling, tarting up, that sort of stuff
Leicestersaint Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Don't change the team and we will win 3 - 1. They are firing on all cylinders and have high levels of confidence.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Same team. Get in front, then bring Rickie off. They're a good side, will be well drilled and won't give us a lot of time on the ball. Will be a very tough match and probably just as tough as Liverpool will be on Saturday. Hoping we can use our attacking flair and get them worried. We're always going to be susceptible to the counter though.
Wiggles31 Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 My Reading supporting mate said Norwich were horrendous when they played them a couple of weeks ago. Think they'll be a very organised team but I think we can break them down. COYR!!!!
Raging Bull Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 If Lamberts fit, he'll start, simple as!
Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Good from you Tokyo. Just watch Ricky's work rate, he will have one eye on Saturday. Do you believe it has happened with any other players or is it unique to Ricky? Adam before Everton for example...
Dig Dig Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Do you believe it has happened with any other players or is it unique to Ricky? Adam before Everton for example... Well of course, Adam was clearly distracted during the 4-1 mauling of Villa.

Baldbarbarian Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 I think we will win tomorrow 2-1.... 3 wins on the trot & I will be starting to get a nosebleed !
Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Well of course, Adam was clearly distracted during the 4-1 mauling of Villa. Exactly, must just be genuine scousers that are distracted, not the plastics.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 I'm going for 3-0, if Ruddy and Turner are out. Bunn is a good stand in though. If both are fit then 1-1, mainly because we'll take the lead but don't trust us to hold on at the death.
tajjuk Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Big games tonight and most likely we will be back in the bottom 3. Best results draw all round? Not sure I would like to see a QPR win but we could also do with Sunderland being dragged down a bit.
trousers Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Southampton FC @officialsaints We'll have updates from Nigel Adkins' pre-@NorwichCityFC press conference shortly. #saintsfc
trousers Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 BBC Solent Sport @solentsport Nigel Adkins is "hopeful" that #saintsfc striker Rickie Lambert will be fit to face Norwich tomorrow, after he limped off v Newcastle
Wadge Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Ruddy is defo out tomorrow night, all rest of Norwich's players are fit.
trousers Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Southampton FC @officialsaints Adkins says Danny Fox may return to the squad tomorrow after missing Sunday's game with a knee problem. #saintsfc
Saint Garrett Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Ruddy is defo out tomorrow night, all rest of Norwich's players are fit. Turner is definitely out as well.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 (edited) Fox back in contention apparently. Please no. back in contention for the bench as likely as not. Still not sure that NA might not try a change or two, JRod to start perhaps and even Morgan preserved for Saturday looked a bit shot in the last few minutes last Sunday.. by the by, did we ever find out which player it was that pulled up in training last week ?

Window Cleaner Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 My guess would be the one who missed Sunday through injury....Fox. but that wouldn't have changed the starting XI which is what Pilchards indicated think.

Bearsy Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Canaries is the least intimidating nickname in the Premier League. I thought Saints was soft, but even Saints could iron out canaries. Plus we've already ironed out magpies, and magpies eat canaries for breakfast. Comfortable home victory I should think!

jimbojones10 Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 will be a tough game this and I think it'll be 1-1. I'll be happy with that
trousers Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 According to Nigel's press conference we've had 13 different 1st team goalscorers this season already. Not a bad stat!
Saint Garrett Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 According to Nigel's press conference we've had 13 different 1st team goalscorers this season already. Not a bad stat! Can you name them ? Lambert, J-Rod, Lallana, Ramirez, Fonte, Morgan, Fox, Puncheon, Davis, Reeves, Lee, Sharp...
The Kraken Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Hooiveld has scored at the wrong end more than once, does he count? You didn't specify which team they had to have scored for...
70's Mike Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Tough game Norwich will not be open like Newcastle, 1 nil will do me but lots of patience needed by crowd
Saint Garrett Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Hooiveld has scored at the wrong end more than once, does he count? You didn't specify which team they had to have scored for... Maybe OG counts...
Window Cleaner Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Can you name them ? Lambert, J-Rod, Lallana, Ramirez, Fonte, Morgan, Fox, Puncheon, Davis, Reeves, Lee, Sharp... Clyne makes up the count I think.
shirleysfc Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Can you name them ? Lambert, J-Rod, Lallana, Ramirez, Fonte, Morgan, Fox, Puncheon, Davis, Reeves, Lee, Sharp... And Clyne
trousers Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Just watched the pre-match interview with the training footage in the background and I must say Rickie is looking fitter (appearance wise) than I've seen him this season. Compared to Grant Holt he's a stick insect!

Wes Tender Posted 27 November, 2012 Posted 27 November, 2012 Perhaps a little light entertainment on the eve of our match against the Canaries is in order.
