S-Clarke Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Don't really see why De Ridder gets so much stick, he really hasn't looked that bad when I've seen him. I've seen much worse performances from the likes of Lallana, Gaston and Puncheon at times this season. Not suggesting he is better than they are but his faults seem to get a disproportionate amount of stick. Christ, anyone would think we had Anthony Pulis on the bench. He's completely horrific, that's why he gets so much stick. Such a non-player, and bar a goal at Reading, what has he done for us? Absolute sod all, runs around, goes into a blind ally, losses the ball, fall over...repeat. Bolton fan's couldn't wait to get shot.
MOSaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 The fact that De Ridder can get on the bench after a couple of injuries underlines the lack of depth in the squad.
Roger Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Guly will be deployed as an AMC I'd expect. Puncheon is a winger. I'm starting to worry about this manager. How the hell is Lallana picked ahead of punch.
Georgie Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 What the hell. I hope I'm wrong but think we will get hammered. Lets hope Wigan lose today
itchen_dan Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 I'm starting to worry about this manager. How the hell is Lallana picked ahead of punch. Agree. Been woeful of late. We're better when he doesnt play. Punch should be in every game going on form.
beatlesaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 The fact that De Ridder can get on the bench after a couple of injuries underlines the lack of depth in the squad. Well look how many we have sent out on loan....
Jonnyboy Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 On what planet is Guly better than Puncheon then . Better at tackling and keeping possession, which seeing as we are going to be under the cosh the whole match, is a good thing.
skintsaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Not feeling too confident on this one...but football is a funny old game and hope we leave with at least a point. Can't see Wigan getting anything today either so not all bad even if we did lose.
melmacian_saint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 How Hooiveld keeps getting starts mistake after mistake after mistake I'll never understand.
S-Clarke Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 How Hooiveld keeps getting starts mistake after mistake after mistake I'll never understand. Name all the mistakes? I can think of 1 last weekend, but up until that he was part of a defence that had gone 6 games unbeaten in the PL. He hasn't been doing badly, which is why he's still in the team. I'd say he's in there on merit at the moment, but would still look to replace in for the long-term.
RedWillie Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 De Ridder last minute winner anyone? Nah, thought not.
Jonnyboy Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 7 points from the rest of our games will see us 10th, oh yes.
Batman Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 as if we were going to win this game with everyone available anyway this is a free hit in my book
Olallana Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Tricky to see what formation it might be. 4-4-2 with Rickie/JRod up front? 4-2-3-1 as normal but is it Guly in the hole.....or is it Lallana in the hole with Guly left, he and Shaw linked up very well against Stoke away actually...
Roger Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Name all the mistakes? I can think of 1 last weekend, but up until that he was part of a defence that had gone 6 games unbeaten in the PL. He hasn't been doing badly, which is why he's still in the team. I'd say he's in there on merit at the moment, but would still look to replace in for the long-term. Well vs west ham dived in when didn't need to and conceded crucial free kick and then made a fool of himself by telling everyone it wasn't a foul when it blatantly was. Then last week just had a mere all day including being out jumped by their smallest forward.
Olallana Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 De Ridder last minute winner anyone? Nah, thought not. For who?
Georgie Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Morgan has a dead leg. Hopefully just this game he will miss then

Have you been reading this forum or have you done like 99% of posters and just buried your head in the sand no matter what cock-up he came up with? If so you would've found at least three threads where his mistakes have been described over and over again.
trousers Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Morgan has a dead leg. Hopefully just this game he will miss then Hopefully not as bad as Ramirez's dead leg earlier in the season - he missed over a month with his didn't he?
mulletsaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Morgan has a dead leg. Hopefully just this game he will miss then Hope it's not like Gaston's from earlier this season. If so that's it for the season. Bet it was Guly's fault.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Not overly keen on this team but hope to be proved wrong.
Georgie Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Hopefully not as bad as Ramirez's dead leg earlier in the season - he missed over a month with his didn't he? Yeah through a bad reaction to it. Although I remember clyne had a dead leg around the same time and he only missed one game.
trousers Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Kick off delayed by half an hour!! (Traffic congestion)
sfc4prem Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Luckily we just need a point or so to be certain of safety. This team is capable of getting that from Sunderland and Stoke.
mulletsaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Looks like that prat Darren Ferguson is going down.
Viking Warrior Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 I wonder why some folk support saints apart from having a go at some o our players . Injuries happen . For those folk knocking guly who else would you put in ? Support the team FFS
Edmonton Saint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Awful team selection. Will be delighted and amazed if we manage anything better than a 3-0 defeat. Guly is dire, and Hooiveld a liability. Might as well have stuck Forren in, he couldn't do much worse than Hooiveld and Ward-Prowse has to be a better option than Guly if Morgan is out.
UpweySaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Can we just delay this game till morgans back? I know im in the NA should've stayed crowd but I think ive been fair on Poch but todays selection is bizarre! Genuinely think we could be on for another spanking today.
Panda Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 I wonder why some folk support saints apart from having a go at some o our players . Injuries happen . For those folk knocking guly who else would you put in ? Support the team FFS This ... if we left out everyone that has been slated on here by so called Saints fans we would have no team to put out!
The Kraken Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 This ... if we left out everyone that has been slated on here by so called Saints fans we would have no team to put out! Saints fans in having differing opinions shocker.

I also think Forren's not played a game for months so he'd be unlikely to last the match same could possibly said for Fonte. Doubt Poch wants the possibility of having to sub both CB's durin the match.
DuncanRG Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Guly to shine today, as he did at the Britannia. Not that I expect the result to be similar...
