What about that industrial estate to the south of the ground - any on street or £5 informal car parks on match days? Thats where I am headed to have a look first.

Anyone know if we have a full squad to choose from on Saturday? Hopefully J-Rod and Shaw have fully recovered. Not sure on what team I would go with personally.

 

Boruc; Clyne Fonte Yoshi Shaw; Cork Morgan; J-Rod Davis Gaston; Lambert

 

Subs: Davis; Forren Fox; JWP Lallana Punch; Mayuka.

For me:

 

----------------------------Boruc------------------------------------

 

Clyne-------------Yoshida-----------------Hooiveld--------------Shaw

 

------------------Morgan-----------------Cork----------------------

 

Ramirez-----------------------Rodriguez-----------------------Lallana

 

------------------------------Lambert-------------------------------

 

Very, very harsh on Davis, but our best lineup IMO.

Personally would have Davis in there - he keeps things ticking over really well and rarely loses the ball. Personally think playing Lambert, J-Rod, Gaston and Lallana is too much and we leave our selves far too open.

Hoping for a result, but expecting Swans 3 - Saints 1.

 

Also, I'm with St Garrett on Davis, I reckon we'll be in with a far better shout if he starts.

Cork's 100th appearance for Southampton on Saturday. Fair play lad !

 

'bout time he scored.

 

Might be worth putting on bet down for that!

 

I hope all the team have had their MMR jabs as Swansea is rife with a measles epidemic right now.

I can't include Ramirez in our best line-up at the moment, because he simply isn't one of our better options at present, Davis offers much more in terms of 90mins. Would rather have Jay and Lallana on the flanks, and Davis just behind Lambert.

 

In terms of ''names'' it probably is our best line-up, but it shouldn't be decided on that.

Agreed. Davis is far more effective than Ramirez in that role away from home.

As someone fairly local, there is on street parking but you will need to get there early and there isn't much in the way of pubs etc at the ground. If you come off at junction 45, it is a few minutes off the junction in the direction of the stadium. You will see some car showrooms across a roundabout and you take the junction off the roundabout to the right of those. The park and ride that did run from just off the motorway at junction 45 (and was there last time we played them) is no longer in use - it runs from elsewhere in the city. It's a long walk from the centre to the stadium - but taxi is easier enough. If your on the train there is a shuttle bus from the station to the ground. There is a retail park by the ground but they don't allow parking for the game. There is a morrisons beyond the retail park - again not suppose to park there but it does have a 3 hour limit.

 

There will be quite a few Cardiff saints there with the flag which might get an interesting reaction off the locals! Then again it might not!

Maybe we could send De Ridder? Tell him the criteria is they must be at least 5 times better than him.

 

Just send him there, his mission, don't ****ing come back.

Bit harsh to send him on his own! Better send Danny Fox too for company.

 

If Danny's geography s anything like his positional play he will miss Belgium and end up in Portugal :-)

Want Ramirez to play just so he improves and in the hope something magical might happen but just don't let him take free kicks! Make Rickue capt and bring on lallana as fresh legs for Ramirez in Second half! Maybe lunch for a tiring Davis too

Can't he have it before the match?

I think this is exactly the kind of game where our high pressing and up-tempo approach will disrupt their game and deny them the time and space to play the way they like to play, similar to how we beat Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea.

 

All depends on the chances we create and convert IMO, so I'm going for a 2-1 win.

I feel this is heading for a draw.

 

Feel the same myself, however, Lawro has got us down to lose 2-1, so we should win this one.

Ricky is due an away goal is he not? Fully fit squad except Guly, should all be well up for this one, still need a few more points yet, the earlier the better. COYRS!!

The Mirror think we'll win...

 

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-predictions-who-come-1840960?

 

Southampton (who play away at Swansea, Saturday, 3pm: prediction: 0-1) too, are still just under threat. My apologies for writing them off a month into the season. They have adjusted to the league, have a decent style of play and look equipped to extend their stay in the top flight.

 

Also nice words from Garry Monk.

They have yoga at 6.30, followed by dinner at 7 . COYR!!

 

As a yoga devotee, I'm glad they're doing yoga -- but 30 mins is not nearly long enough. You need at least an hour's yoga for the benefits to feed through!

Strange that the Mirror included Southampton in the list of relegation candidates, albeit recognising that we are very unlikely to go down and apologising for ever having thought we would, yet excluded Newcastle who are below us. I guess they're too good to go down.

I suggest you read the whole article;)
