Ziggy Posted 12 December, 2012 Posted 12 December, 2012 I am totally confident that we will beat them. We are becoming a force at home again.

Avenue Saint Posted 14 December, 2012 Posted 14 December, 2012 Reckon we'll bring JRod in and play like we did once Ramirez came on other day
Window Cleaner Posted 14 December, 2012 Posted 14 December, 2012 Reckon we'll bring JRod in and play like we did once Ramirez came on other day that would be logical yes; Sunderland are the type of side JRod could score against.
SNSUN Posted 14 December, 2012 Posted 14 December, 2012 Winnable, but much depends on their performance/result against Man Utd. After a 3-0 win at Reading, a poor performance against Utd would deflate them. A good performance against them, whatever the result, and their tails will be up. Still, it's exciting times being a Saints fan at present. Lallana is a massive loss, but we have the attacking players to compensate. 5 or 6 points from the next three games would be a good return IMO, 7-9 would be the stuff dreams are made of. At a push, I'd even take 4.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 so then are the team training at Staplewood or have they jetted off somewhere warm ?
View From The Top Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 Actually get to use my own seasin tickets for this one. Tricky game but we will win. Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2
Saints Warrior Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 I think Saints have settled down to a core group of players and we will up in confidence, Saints to win 3-1.
Viking Warrior Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 How are ticket sales going . I'm hoping to fly down next Friday night and hope to get to get to the game .
skintsaint Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 is Fletcher injured? Bonearse if he is..!
Nexstar Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 Adkins got a nice scouting visit to Old Trafford in earlier.
Tom28 Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 so then are the team training at Staplewood or have they jetted off somewhere warm ? Think they've gone to Malta.
sammysaint Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 If Bramble plays with Oshea i have no doubt Lambo will win the aerial battle vs these two, and if Rose is out as well there back four will be the worse we have played this season and puncheon and the LM will have a field day, shame Lallana is injured if he was fit i would say this is 3 points purley because of there injuries and are attacking performances recently, but i think were gonna get a draw Sunderland's attack is quality and should be a attack for a top 10 side and our defence needs to be on form to stop them.
skintsaint Posted 15 December, 2012 Posted 15 December, 2012 Just read Sunderland have only won 3 out of their last 25 league games..this really needs to be a home win.
colehillsaint Posted 16 December, 2012 Posted 16 December, 2012 I think that if the team we put out still looks useful on Saturday, without the threat of Adam Lallana, we will have moved forward.

I like the look of this team with the current fit players we have. 2-0 Saints. ( Lambert, Puncheon )
ericofarabia Posted 16 December, 2012 Posted 16 December, 2012 Just read Sunderland have only won 3 out of their last 25 league games..this really needs to be a home win. DOH!!! I hate stats like that. No doubt they've got a centre forward who hasn't scored this season etc. At least it isn't no wins in the last 25 away, as that would have been a dead cert away win with some dodgy CF getting a hattrick!! Obviously the AL situation means that changes will be made, but will the game plan change as well? Certainly the type of game we should be looking to win, and a trip back to the 3-1 victory scoreline would be nice.
Mr X Posted 16 December, 2012 Posted 16 December, 2012 This is a massive pivotal game it will decide wether we can indeed push on or wether we are destined to be sucked into the mire of avoiding the bottom three and nothing else! A win Would send out a clear message to the teams around us anything less than a draw is unacceptable in the situation we are in the table is so tight and we need to beat our closet rivals ie Sunderland, Wigan etc
S-Clarke Posted 16 December, 2012 Posted 16 December, 2012 Having a browse through their forums, they really aren't a happy bunch. Everyone is **** apparently. They can't defend, their midfield is championship quality, and Fletcher is injured along with Rose (who will probably be back next week). I think, as a team, they're on the floor. Individually they have quality and can hurt if not managed correctly, but if we play our high intensity game as a TEAM, then our quality should shine through.
Petersfield Saint Posted 16 December, 2012 Posted 16 December, 2012 I live in Durham now so surrounded by Sunderland fans and work with a few. They all reckon that they're shockingly bad this season and that we ought to beat them comfortably. Fingers crossed... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Matthew Le God Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Premier League @premierleague Howard Webb has been appointed referee for Southampton v Sunderland on Saturday 22nd December. #SOUSUN
Appy Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 We always get Schitt refs!! We don't always, we just get Refs that give decisions that you don't agree with.
fanimal Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Well, me and a few thousand others! Actually it was tongue in cheek as I think HW is a very good, if not the best, ref around. Shame that AL is not playing, HW would be sure to give him a penalty and not book him for 'diving' as per the Swansea game....
saints_is_the_south Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Howard Webb is probably the best referee in the division so we may have a decent one for a change. Lets hope the linesmen are also up to scratch for a change. Can't get much worse than we had against this lots neighbours that's for sure.
Leicestersaint Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I fear that we will start with JRod out wide - and it won't work as usual.
the saint in winchester Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 ---------------------DAVIS--------------------- CLYNE-----FONTE------MAYA------SHAW ---------------CORK------MORGAN--------- PUNCH----------RAMIREZ-----------TADANARI LEEEEEEE * --------------------LAMBERT------------------ * apparently played a blinder tonight, so let's 'ave him in!
Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 We need some speed in the side where Lallana has left a hole, so I would put Lee out there with the option of switching him with Ramirez or putting Ramirez on the left, Lambert in the hole behind J-Rod. If we turn up and play with confidence and high intensity this will be a walk in the park home victory. 2-2 then.
Tom28 Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 -------------Gazzaniga------------- Clyne-----Fonte-----Maya-----Shaw -------Cork------Schneiderlin------- Puncheon--------------------Reeves* ------------Ramirez---------------- ------------Lambert---------------- Subs: Davis, Hoiiveld, JWP, Davis, Guly, JRod, Mayuka * Put himself in the shop window in the U21 game last night and he's probably the only round peg/round hole we have. All the other options are square pegs.
Saint86 Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 I would not be averse to seeing Lee in the team actually. Adkins obviously liked him from all the hype he gave him last season. Reminded me of Pardew whacking off about Puncheon - and he was proved right in the end. His injured spell is over and he's started to look good in the development fixtures. Who else do we have to play Left midfield really. And if you can't try him against one of the worst teams in the league... what is the point in having him. Personally I think we will see him on the bench. I wouldn't be totally suprised if Do Prado is CAM with GRam out on the left. And punch-eon on the right. Alternatively, we could go for Mayuka right, punch left and GRam middle. Lots of options. Of course there is also JayRod left... he started to gain some confidence. Whatever we pick, I am starting to get nervous about this one. Sunderland have picked up the last few games, and are up for this game, they are definetley not underestimating us like some of the others. And lets be honest, reading were ****, qpr were ****, and Newcastle were knackered. We have been looking better than we actually are and this one will be a real test for us. If you think otherwise then i reckon you are in for a shock this weekend!!!

oldsarum Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 How are ticket sales going . I'm hoping to fly down next Friday night and hope to get to get to the game . just under 1,200 tickets left at moment according to online system, majority if those around 750 in Block 43 of Northam
saints_is_the_south Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 Is Block 43 open to home fans? Yes. Around 750 seats left there as per above post.
Appy Posted 18 December, 2012 Posted 18 December, 2012 If the world ends will the match be postponed?
AussieDog Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 If the world ends will the match be postponed? No, it will be cancelled and the season will end with the league tables as they are now, so we will have avoided relegation!

tajjuk Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 ANyone know if Fletcher is still injured for them?
Saint Charlie Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 ANyone know if Fletcher is still injured for them? Think he will be touch and go. The key vs Sunderland is to stop Johnson and McClean out wide and make sure Sessegnon has a poor game. Fletcher just finishes the chances they create. Rose aside their defence is poor and slow.

With a bit of luck Rose will be out injured again and they'll have to use Colback at LB again, woeful he was last week.
