SNSUN Posted 14 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammysaint Posted 15 December, 2012 Share 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.

colehillsaint Posted 16 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 16 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted 16 December, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 December, 2012 Share 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 Share 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...

fanimal Posted 17 December, 2012 Share 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.

saints_is_the_south Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 Howard Webb is probably the best referee in the division so we may have a decent one for a change.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted 18 December, 2012 Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
