Wiggles31 Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 Fancy an away win here however this depends on which Sunderland turn up. After the 8-0 drumming they'll be seeking some form of revenge. Wanyama back but Morgan could be out. Davis Clyne Tony Fonte Bertrand Wanyama Reed/Morgan Ward-Prowse Mane Pelle Tadic 2-0 win for me. COYS!
S-Clarke Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 It should be a win, let's be honest. I'd be so so so gutted at anything less. Sunderland are horrifically bad, there's no dressing that up. If we can get Mane up close to Pelle again, then they will take the awful O'Shea and the joke Vergini to the cleaners. I guess though, it's the end of the season and odd-result time....but if we play at anywhere close as we did today or at Stoke, then we'll win.
Dalek2003 Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 You can be sure of one thing, they will be scrapping for their premier future so it won't be easy.
Lighthouse Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 Sunderland should be well up for revenge... should. Recent performances would suggest they aren't really up for anything. A draw at Stoke today was reasonable but after what Villa and Palace did to them at the SOL we should be going up there for a win. Victor should be back. Might Jay Rod even make the bench?

Do you really think Jayrod will make the bench ? Evidence or just a hunch ?
simo Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 2 more wins to guarantee 7th and Spurs play City on the Sunday so a win would be really nice ! Please!
CB Fry Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 2 more wins to guarantee 7th and Spurs play City on the Sunday so a win would be really nice ! Please! We're going to finish at least seventh, don't worry about it. It's just whether we can squeak sixth.
S-Clarke Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 We're going to finish at least seventh, don't worry about it. It's just whether we can squeak sixth. Still think it's on for 5th, given Liverpool's result today. Certainly not out of the question. In theory we could win the next 3, who knows.
Jack Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 After QPR, Sunderland are the side of most like to see get relegated. Let's hope we can give them a helping hand. Sunderland 0-8 Saints Pellé 3, 34, 39, 56, 70, 79, 86 Fonte 90+2
simo Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 Watching a replay of Stoke Sunderland , Stoke having lumps kicked out of them ! Look forward to Cattermole trying it on with big Victor next week
SNSUN Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 Sunderland 0-8 Southampton Vergini og, Vergini og, Vergini og (hattrick), Brown og, O'Shea og, Fletcher og, Cattermole og, Kelvin Davis. Naw, I predict a much tougher game than the 8-0 but one that we really should still be winning. But they will fight, and they need to. I so want us to win this but I can see a draw. We have more quality, let's just hope it shines through.
CB Fry Posted 25 April, 2015 Posted 25 April, 2015 Still think it's on for 5th, given Liverpool's result today. Certainly not out of the question. In theory we could win the next 3, who knows. Yeah, possible. I can't see it myself. Be delighted with 6th anyway. However I can see Hull beating Liverpool on Tuesday though, archetypal April run-in result. That might open things up again.
david in sweden Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Do you really think Jayrod will make the bench ? Evidence or just a hunch ? I think he might make the bench for the Villa game,(and get on in the last 10 minutes), but surely will be out on show v. Citeh and then wait for the bids to come in. If he scores in either game.. it'll mean a few million more on his eventual fee.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Maybe RK will get Gallagher to give some of our players shooting practice as he seems the only player who can score outside the box?
austsaint Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Fancy an away win here however this depends on which Sunderland turn up. After the 8-0 drumming they'll be seeking some form of revenge. Wanyama back but Morgan could be out. Davis Clyne Tony Fonte Bertrand Wanyama Reed/Morgan Ward-Prowse Mane Pelle Tadic 2-0 win for me. COYS! Interested to know why you would pick Ward-Prowse as a starter. Surely Davis, despite his missed shots played a better all round game.
del boy Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Watching a replay of Stoke Sunderland , Stoke having lumps kicked out of them ! Look forward to Cattermole trying it on with big Victor next week Mane's face due for prolonged contact with he Sunderland pitch
The Cat Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Maybe RK will get Gallagher to give some of our players shooting practice as he seems the only player who can score outside the box? You are quite tiresome. Surprised you didn't slip something in there about how crap you think Tadic is.
The Cat Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 I saw a kid smash one in from miles out at in the mini soccer league at Stoneham last week. Maybe we should ask him to come in and teach them how to do it too?
The Cat Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Anyway, we won't need to score from outside the box against Sunderland, we should be able to walk a few in against their defence.
Batman Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Mane vs O'Shea and Wes Brown? Should be a laugh. they will kick the snot out of him and/or one of those two will be sent off
Jack Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Mane vs O'Shea and Wes Brown? Should be a laugh. Look forward to that. Tadic in for Davis, Big Vic back in, and Toby back to CB please.

Lighthouse Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Just looking at what's at stake I'd say we need: Leicester to lose to Newcastle (yeah right) to end their winning streak ahead of our game. Villa to beat Everton, would be nice if Villa were safe when they come to SMS with both eyes on the cup final. Burnley not to win, which would help the above scenario.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Davis; Clyne Toby Fonte Bertrand Morgan Wanyama Mane JWP Tadic Pelle Or......If Morgan isn't fit, possibly go 4-1-3-2, so Wanyama in behind JWP Davis and Tadic, with Mane and Pelle through the centre tearing John O'Shea a new arsehole.

Villa to beat Everton, would be nice if Villa were safe when they come to SMS with both eyes on the cup final. Burnley not to win, which would help the above scenario. Leicester have Chelsea on Wednesday, they'll stop their winning ways. I think 5th/6th place will be up for grabs right up until the last day of the season. But for Sunderland, I'd go ----------------Davis------------------ Clyne-----Toby-----Fonte-----Bertrand -------Reed-----------Wanyama Mane---------Davis----------Long ---------------Pelle----------------- Morgan in for Reed if fit. Subs: Yoshida, Targett, JWP, Tadic, Elia, Gallagher, Gazza

os862saints Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 I really want djuricic to start, really want to see what he's all about.

The9 Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 Tadić was so bad at Stoke that I'd happily see him sit out the season. One backheel and a goal at Man U are all I remember of his entire season and he's had plenty more opportunities than Elia.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 They have to win and to do that they can't afford to park the bus. They will press hard and hopefully will make mistakes - plenty of those in the side. We just need to be prepared to battle and make sure there are plenty of chances. Would play Long from the start with Pelle and Mane - those three will terrorise their defence and draw out fouls/pens. Let them play or allow them too much room to get around the back and we could come unstuck with Kelv being indecisive. I reckon... 1-2.
syd_barrett_saint Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Tadić was so bad at Stoke that I'd happily see him sit out the season. One backheel and a goal at Man U are all I remember of his entire season and he's had plenty more opportunities than Elia. He has been pretty awful for most of the season. But I do remember his best performance was probably home to Sunderland, where he set up a ton of goals. Maybe he'd do well against Sunderland again? Although recent form would suggest otherwise. Would like to see Djuricic given another go instead if he's fit.

Would like to see Djuricic given another go instead if he's fit. True, everyone was pretty good against Sunderpants last time. Not sure Djuricic is fit - also not sure he deserves another go - but it's typical that ALL of our numerous wide players seem to be off-form at the moment. Not including Mane in that as his best position is clearly in the hole behind Pelle.
the saint in winchester Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Hull's win over Liverpool is a reminder of what a team that HAS to win can do. Sunders have to win. Going to be a tough game for us.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 From the OS photos Morgan,JRod and José seem to have been excused from the hospital visit yesterday. Frazer as well of course. Don't know what that means in terms of Saturday's game for Morgan and José.

VectisSaint Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 True, everyone was pretty good against Sunderpants last time. We were absolutely diabolical for the first 30 minutes or so when our first went in completely against the run of play. After that we did play quite well :-) Let's hope the Og bloke scores a few for us again.
Saint Rees Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 From the OS photos Morgan,JRod and José seem to have been excused from the hospital visit yesterday. Frazer as well of course. Don't know what that means in terms of Saturday's game for Morgan and José. Couldn't see Morgan or Jose in the JRod training gallery, still a few days yet though and we'll find out from Ron tomorrow
benjii Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 I would like to have Mane, Long and Pelle in the team (Mane is our best attacker, Pelle is refinding some form and Long has been involved in a lot of assists and goals recently). However, I don't want Mane or Long wasted out wide. Therefore, I think I would go with a back 3. This means we don't need to fit Davis or JWP into the team IMO. --------------------------KD------------------------- ---------Fonte----------Toby---------Yoshi--------- Clyne--------------------------------------------Bertrand --------Morgan (Reed if injured)--Wanyama----- --------------------------Mane------------------------- -----------------Pelle------------Long----------------- Bench: Gazza, Gardos, Targett, JWP, Reed (if not on pitch), Elia, Tadic, (Gallagher, if Reed on pitch)
beavis17 Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Couldn't see Morgan or Jose in the JRod training gallery, still a few days yet though and we'll find out from Ron tomorrow No Fonte or Tadic either...

Matthew Le God Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Filip Djuricic is back in training, so will probably be on the bench if fit against Sunderland. A lot of Saints fans have been very dismissive of him, but he does look a technically gifted player in the brief chances we've had to see him.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Filip Djuricic is back in training, so will probably be on the bench if fit against Sunderland. A lot of Saints fans have been very dismissive of him, but he does look a technically gifted player. It's all about productivity though. Ramirez is as technically gifted from what I can tell.
VectisSaint Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 No Fonte or Tadic either... Jose is in the video. But not Morgan. Tadic could be there, hard to tell he does have a tendency to disappear.
beavis17 Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Jose is in the video. But not Morgan. Tadic could be there, hard to tell he does have a tendency to disappear. Which video is that?
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Tadic as well as Schneiderlin out for Saturday.
VectisSaint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Tadic as well as Schneiderlin out for Saturday. Tadic has another groan injury.
