Personally id make a few changes and give Lallana, Jay Rod, Davis, Fonte, Lambo, Shaw a break with saturday in mind.

A loss to Hull means nothing really if we can save players for the cup game. Im sure most would take a loss tomorrow if we can win on saturday.

 

id go for

 

Boruc

 

clyne - yos- jos- chambers

---wanyama---cork----

Guly----------------JWP

--------Reed--------

------Galagher--------

Like. Maybe replace Reed with Adam and Boruc with Kelvin. Full strength for Saturday, of course.

The league is far more important than a Cup match, so if anything I would put your team up against Sunderland and play the stronger one against Hull.

 

I hope you are taking the **** and seeking a bite? If not, that is seriously retarded thinking. A day out (and hopefully a win at Wembley) vs finishing 1 or 2 places higher ... jesus christ.

Remember, this is Dalek you are replying to. So in his head, we're far from safe. Lots of work to do, apparently.

 

We are sleep walking to relegation I think.

Right:

 

1. You are right, we are not safe yet and we need to get to 40 plus points before we can relax.

 

2. Each place in the premier league is worth a lot of money. We could finish 7th or even as low as 17th, we could even be relegated. That is a lot of money at stake.

 

3. The chances are we will come a cropper against one of the 'bigger' clubs.

 

So, we concentrate on the league.

I would pick:

 

 

Borutch

 

Chambers. Font. Yoshida. Clyne

 

Wanyama. Davis

 

 

JWP. Guly. Rodriguez

 

Gallagher

 

 

bench: KD, Jos, Targett, Morgan, lallana, Lambert, Isgrove

Not really mate?

 

Saints

Charlton/Sheff Wed

Cardiff

Man C/Chelsea

Everton

Sheff Utd/Nottingham Forest

Arsenal/Liverpool

Hull

 

Apart from Chelsea (and Man C away) (and one of those two teams are getting knocked out anyway), I genuinely believe we can beat anyone on our day, and from the 7 teams, 4 of them are teams we could beat :), I have full hope....It is the magic of the FA Cup. With a bit of luck you could make it :)

 

As for relegation. you're joking. what you smoking? Anyways, the revenue and money etc from getting to Wembley (if we do) will surely outweigh money we receive from finishing 1 place higher!

Yippee. Back on TV tonight so down to Barasti!

 

Boo. Al Jism (sorry Beanywhereelse Sports) had Technical Issues on Saturday and failed to show Chelsea/Geordies or the egg chasers.

Hope that means there will be some good streams tonight

Surely Gallagher won't be ready to return tonight? I'm not one for resting players but I'd start Rickie on the bench

 

Boruc

 

Clyne Fonte Jos Shaw

 

Wanyama Schnederlin

 

Guly Davis Lallana

 

J Rod

 

That team should be good enough to scrape a point.If Big Vic and Cork can't play together, I'd rather Cork plays on Saturday. And Tuesday night v Hull = Goal for Hooiveld

I wouldnt take Hull as a given. Brighton have knocked out Newcastle in the last 2 seasons. I've got a ticket to this game (bton v hull i mean)

Hull are awesome at home. Check the stats. They don't concede - probably because they attack.

Have to say HOME WIN.

 

Sadly, my gut instinct agrees with you. Then again I've got man-flu so it's touch and go I'll even make it to kick off. As a result, my gut is decidedly off.

 

I would happily accept a defeat tonight and a win on Saturday. If the footballing gods could sort that out cheers

Traditionally we're rubbish in midweek games against northern teams most of us think we will beat. Especially when it's hideous weather.

Just looked at our last 6 results:

 

1-0

2-2

2-0

2-2

3-0

2-2

 

Come on Saints, keep the sequence going and give us a 4-0 win tonight!!!!

 

I would then happily take a 2-2 on Saturday and beat Sunderland 5-0 in the replay. :)

I'd take a 1-1, although I definitely wouldn't field a weak side like people are saying we should. It would be nice to have a cup run, but ultimately I want that 8th spot.

 

 

Even 7th with the way Utd are disintegrating.

I would start with Chambers and Ward Prowse tonight for Clyne and Davis, other than that the same side as Saturday. Think we will win tonight, about time Rickie bagged a hat-trick.

People saying we don't need to strengthen the squad, then predicting us to lose tonight.. Crazy..

 

And then they'll no doubt moan and lambast the team and the manager because we lost.

 

We needed a striker and a left back if we want to maintain our league position and go for the cup but as we seem to be on an economy drive just now I doubt that we had any real intention of signing anyone.

 

I calculated that with the departure of Cortese, sale of Puncheon and loaning out Osvaldo we could in theory have saved about 3.5 million £ in the second half of the season...not bad.

I guess it does, but not by loads. You win £1.8m for the FA Cup. It's now about £1.3m a place in the Prem. I know you'd have to add up all the Gate Receipts and merchandise and all that lark, but it's not masses of difference, esp if you finished 2/3 places higher.

But you get extra TV money from the FA Cup as well (provided you're on TV that is). £247,500 for the 5th round game per club I think, plus a load of extra money for winning in each round. when you add it all up a cup final appearance must bring in about 5 or 6 million more than getting knocked out in the 4th round.

@SouthamptonFC: MP: "Today is an important day for assessing the fitness of the players, especially those who made a big effort against Stoke." #saintsfc

 

@SouthamptonFC: Mauricio Pochettino is now speaking to the written media. Quotes from this section to come at 10.30pm GMT. #saintsfc

 

Well, that was a revelationery press conference...

Any chance it'll be snowed off?! That'd be a nice result, rest for saturday and play them when Ramirez and Lovren are fit!

 

No sign of any snow in Doncaster.

 

Rain stopped @ lunchtime and now blue skies.

 

Looking forward to seeing my second away win tonight.

 

Weather looks fine this afternoon.

It's going to be dry but cold.

 

 

Yes - I would settle for 4 - 0 to us tonight.

 

The last time we won 4-0 Stern John score a hatrick, remember him?!

I think we'll win tonight. I know they do well at home and that they've strengthened up front but still, it was boys v men at St Marys earlier in the season. If we play well, we'll win.

 

J Rod to continue his excellent scoring run away from home (when his pace on the counter is really effective).

 

2-1 Saints.

We've had a few decent wins over Hull in recent years haven't we... 4-1 this season, 4-0 Stern with John hattrick in 2007, 4-2 Bale freekick... oh god that was in 2006. That's 8 feckin years ago. Not so recent after all. :scared:

 

It's half midnight here in Chiang Mai, sat out on the balcony with a beer, all to be heard are the crickets and an owl. It's going to be a late one. The peace will hopefully to be disturbed in just over 2 hours with loud cheers for a Lambert hattrick or similar.

Hello from Hull Tigers :) 30 mins til #saintsfc team news - hope Davis & Rodriguez have shrugged off knocks- i think Chambers could start

 

Chance Davis and Rodriguez might not be fit for the game it seems

We have to start positively, all guns blazing, not pitter-pattering about like against Stoke, which gave Stoke the opportunity to take the initiative.

We mustn't make that mistake again.
