NickG Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 Two sendings off today. I assume both miss our game? Siggurdson big loss, their top scorer left after Bony, but also by far their top provider.
Lorne Malvo Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 Bonus for us as I think Siggurdson is a quality player, would love to have seen him here at Saints.

Baird of the land Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 I'd give today's starting line-up another go.
Eric The Red Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 I'd give today's starting line-up another go. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because we were so good?
benjii Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 With no Morgan and Vic (i assume) but Maya back, I would go for the 3-5-2. --------------------Forster-------------------- ------Fonte-----Gardos-----Yoshida---- Clyne----------------------------------------Bertrand -----------------------Reed---------------------- ------------------Davis-----JWP------------- ------------------Pelle-----Elia/Tadic------- KD, Targett, Cork, Tadic/Elia, Seager, McCarthy, Isgrove/McQueen
Lighthouse Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 I'd give today's starting line-up another go. This. We just need to go easy on the ketamine at lunch time.

Goatboy Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 Yep, this. (Tadic on the bench for me). Would like to see McQueen given some game time too.
Wiggles31 Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 They seem to be in dire straits at the minute, but if we defend like we did today we'll make it hard for our selves. Still fancy a return to form and a 2-0 win. Watching in Barcelona.
Saint_clark Posted 24 January, 2015 Posted 24 January, 2015 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because we were so good? Wasn't it only one player different from the team that started V Newcastle?
Jack Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Good time to play them, but we've got to be a lot better than yesterday. ------------Forster Clyne - Fonte - Gardos - Bertrand ---------Cork-----Reed Davis--------JWP----------Elia --------------Pelle Defensive solidity and a clean sheet please.
shirleysfc Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Wasn't it only one player different from the team that started V Newcastle? Yep, and that one player was ****!!
david in sweden Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Interesting what team we can put out. and perhaps what team they can put out. Recent games v.Swansea have always been a close run thing, and we will go into the (Sunday) game knowing if MU have overtaken us in the Prem., or if Arsenal drawn level on points? Interesting !
hasper57saint Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 I sincerely hope that no one sees a win as a foregone conclusion. We are quite deplete at present and re jigging the squad could be a little difficult for RK.Ex Saint Gary Monk will no doubt do his homework on us after yesterday.
SaintRobbie Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Forster Clyne Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Reed Cork JWP Davis Elia Pelle Cork may be gone by then.
VectisSaint Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Only potential change for me would be Reed in for someone. Forster?
Dr Who? Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Good record against this lot and a great recent record. Games won: 31 Games drawn: 16 Games lost: 19 Won the last 3 against them and not lost to them in the last 7.
Roger Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 Reed should play protects the back four much better. Unlucky to have been dropped.
Leicestersaint Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 After yesterday I would not start with Cork, Gardos or Tadic. It will be interesting to see what Ronald decides.

Saint Luke Posted 25 January, 2015 Posted 25 January, 2015 They don't look in a good place and having sold Bony could potentially have sold Gomis as well - well we can hope Personally I think they are going through a 'difficult' period so may help us with our injury list.
Junior Mullet Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 We will not get a better chance to beat them, given the sale of Bony, loss of players to tournaments, injuries and suspensions. They really are on a poor run of form and without Siggurdson its difficult to see where their goals will come from. Dont slit wrists after the Palace game. Remember the Arsenal, United and Newcastle games. The team will be fully focused on the game and desperately want to achieve top 4. This game can and should take us one step closer. Never mind dropping Tadic, Cork or Gardos....I trust in Ron to manage them in the right way to make sure they are ready for Swansea.
Window Cleaner Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 They don't look in a good place and having sold Bony could potentially have sold Gomis as well - well we can hope Personally I think they are going through a 'difficult' period so may help us with our injury list. As I said a while back only to gain some serious derision, Monk is on a tightrope, couple of defeats and he'll be gone.

I think Oliveria is a better striker anyway so losing Gomis would probably work in their favour.
Beckenham Saint Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 They don't look in a good place and having sold Bony could potentially have sold Gomis as well - well we can hope Personally I think they are going through a 'difficult' period so may help us with our injury list. There's something in Gomis' contract, apparently, that if they sell him before his contract runs out they would have to pay up all the remaining bonuses and clauses to him, which I think IIRC amounts to about £6m at the minute as he only recently signed. Can't see them wanting to pay that when they need to keep hold of him now Bony is gone. I'm taking my friend to her first Saints game for this one, so hopefully we can beat a weakened Swansea team as it's always nice to see a win at your first game! No Sigurdsson or Bony does make them significantly weaker, but I imagine after two bad losses in a row they won't want to make it three and still have a fairly decent team and are capable of giving us a really good game! Would like to see Reed start, as he seems to get everywhere and would really break up their passing play. Hoping this one goes similar to the Everton game when we were in a similar position with injurys!
Crab Lungs Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 --------------------Forster Clyne-------Fonte---------Gardos------Bertrand -------------Reed----------Davis Elia----------------Cork----------Tadic ------------------Pelle Subs: K Davis, Yoshida, Ward Prowse, Targett, McQueen, Seager. Cork in advanced midfield role like v Newcastle at home to press Swansea
No 2 to Maybush Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 I think Ronald needs to make it plain to the players that anything less than 100% effort will not be tolerated, and on that basis I would drop Tadic for this game as he looked totally disinterested on Saturday. Same for Gardos. I would cut Corky some slack as he is just coming back from injury and struggled to get on the pace of the game.
SaintTex Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 --------------------Forster Clyne-------Fonte---------Gardos------Bertrand -------------Reed----------Davis Elia----------------Cork----------Tadic ------------------Pelle Subs: K Davis, Yoshida, Ward Prowse, Targett, McQueen, Seager. Cork in advanced midfield role like v Newcastle at home to press Swansea ugh, with Long, Mane, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, and Alderweireld all unavailable that bench is not very inspiring. I feel like we are treading some water here until West Ham. If we can grind out, six points from Swansea and QPR that would incredible.
Saint Garrett Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 Would start with: Forster Clyne Fonte Yoshi Bertrand Davis JWP Reed Elia Pelle Tadic Should have Mane on the bench for this I think? No we won't it was Ivory Coast who went out, not Senegal.
Window Cleaner Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 No we won't it was Ivory Coast who went out, not Senegal. Since when ? They play Cameroon on Thursday in a group where all teams have 2 points after drawing both matches. Citeh have their private jet standing by to go and fetch Bony and Touré if they're losing at HT or something similar. Don't think Senegal can be eliminated this week under anything but exceptional circumstances so I doubt we're lining up the tandem to go for Mané.

Lets B Avenue Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 --------------------Forster Clyne-------Fonte---------Gardos------Bertrand -------------Reed----------Davis Elia----------------Cork----------Tadic ------------------Pelle Subs: K Davis, Yoshida, Ward Prowse, Targett, McQueen, Seager. Cork in advanced midfield role like v Newcastle at home to press Swansea ugh, with Long, Mane, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, and Alderweireld all unavailable that bench is not very inspiring. And only has 6 on it. Unless we have signed a Ward and a Prowse by then. One of them may be able to score. We could always play Swedish Dave's favourite 3-5-1 formation though.
CB Saint Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 I'm worried about this game - worried about the lack of strength in the starting line up and worried about the options on the bench - Ronald hasn't got much in the way of game changing options. This will be three points hard won.
david in sweden Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 both sides will be smarting over their Cup defeats and (in some ways) both have a striker problem. Beginning to have 0-0 draw written all over it, but is really a vital 3 point game, if we are to continue our push for Europe.
david in sweden Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 And only has 6 on it. Unless we have signed a Ward and a Prowse by then. One of them may be able to score. We could always play Swedish Dave's favourite 3-5-1 formation though. that's purely because of the injury situation, and having a man carried off after we'd used all three subs...but maybe Ronald can get himself international clearance and play in the back four....?
Pancake Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 that's purely because of the injury situation, and having a man carried off after we'd used all three subs.. When did that happen exactly? You half talk some " utter " TRIPE.
Hatch Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 SIggurdson getting sent off was the best thing that happened last weekend.
simo Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 If we can get back to being tight at the back we'll win this , can't see them giving us too many problems
trousers Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 Beginning to have 0-0 draw written all over it, Yep, this.
SaintTex Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 After yesterday I would not start with Cork, Gardos or Tadic.Who starts in their place? Yoshida for Gardos.. ok Cork for Reed.. ok Tadic pretty much has to play. who do you replace him with? forster clyne fonte yoshida Bertrand reed davis JWP tadic elia pelle
eelpie Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 I'd give today's starting line-up another go. What did you see wrong with Harrison Reed last time he played?
krissyboy31 Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 Forster Clyne Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Reed Davis Ward Prowse Tadic. Ellia Pelle This is the team I would play. We're looking a little short of alternatives TBH.
Charlie Wayman Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 I'm hoping the Palace fiasco does not signal an unravelling of our style of play and a decline in performance. The ease with which we were sliced open by fast running forwards was scary to watch as we've been so rock solid up until now. There may be a tendency for the coaches to over-react to that defeat and change things around unnecessarily this week to plug the perceived short-comings of last Saturday but it's a different situation and different team. For sure Swansea will come at us out of the blocks knowing that we will be in a pensive frame of mind until we settle into our routine. If we go 1-0 down in the first 10 minutes, it is not easy to see how we will score and get back into it especially if they then park the bus.
doddisalegend Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 I thought we were expecting Morgan, Victor and Toby back by the Swansea game?
TwoPints Posted 26 January, 2015 Posted 26 January, 2015 Oh. I was listening to TalkSport on the way to work and they said they expected Yaya Toure to start against Chelsea. Looks like I misunderstood! No, you didn't misunderstand. That's what they said. I heard it too.
