The Cat Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 That ranks right up there with 'the dog ate my homework Sir' Haha. To be honest the game was probably going to be the secondary attraction to visiting friends up that way and having a couple of nights out.
The Cat Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 Any idea if we can get tickets on the gate? Forgot to buy them online If you live Southampton way I have a couple spare you can have for cut price.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 1:0, Chambers scored in the last few minutes to show his move was a right decision. His move to Arsenal or Boro?
broncoboy Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 Alas I am going. It's got to the stage now I don't ever expect them to score even when it looks like they are in with a chance . I have this zen like calm when Long is bearing down on the goal as I know and the keeper knows he is going to shoot and miss . I wonder if Long and Rodrigez have a bet between them about how long they can go for without scoring Long is now defying the laws of physics kicking a ball towards the goal randomly and it not on at least some ocassions going in Bizarre
SKD Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 2-0 win (Redmond and Tadic) and all the happy clappers will suggest Puel is tactical genius and we've finally clicked up front.
Bobbyboy Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 4-6 Saints. Crazy game with 3 penalties. Tadic missing all 3 of them?
Batman Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 Team I reckon......Puel stressed about the need to rotate etc Forster Pied Yoshida Stephens Bertrand Rom Hoj Redmond Boufal JwP Gabbiadini I think I will cry if we see Tadic start again and Davis playing alongside Romeu
mrfahaji Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 Just received my Saints newsletter, it says there's a chance to win a pair of Fraser Forster's gloves. Surprised they didn't include the tagline "good as new, barely been used".
Dark Munster Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 ^^^^^ Naughty. BTW shouldn't there have been a score spoiler alert in the thread title?

Austin on the bench would be welcome too.
Max Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 I want to see more of Clasie. Haven't seen the best of him yet but brief moments suggest he could be very good. A few consecutive games would help, and some faith/inspiration from the manager/coaches. He ran games in the Dutch league and played internationally in a passing team. Just think he could have more to offer, it's in there somewhere.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 We'll lose 2-0. That said, with the season all but over, I'd like to see Clasie and Caceres start. I'd also like to see Long and J-Rod playing on the right and left instead of Redmond and Tadic. Why not? They've hardly been given any game time to prove themselves and neither Redmond or Tadic seem to have any end product.

Just think he could have more to offer, it's in there somewhere. Totally agree. Sadly, faith and inspiration are the two things that our current management team seem to be good at destroying. J-Rod scored 2 goal at Bournemouth and was dropped for the next game. Clasie had a great game at WBA and likewise was dropped the next week. I'd love to know how Puel's mind works. On second thoughts, maybe not. Edited 12 May, 2017 by Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Maybe even JRod for Redmond? Hope Cedric doesn't get annoyed at being left out if this is the team.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 I'd go for Forster Pied Yoshida Caceres Bertrand Rom Classie Long JWP J-Rod Gabbi
CB Fry Posted 12 May, 2017 Posted 12 May, 2017 FFS are we still on the rotation? . Since the end of January, no. You not noticed?
Lighthouse Posted 12 May, 2017 Author Posted 12 May, 2017 Yep, I like this team, though I'd prefer to see Clasie start instead of JWP at first. Maybe even JRod for Redmond? Hope Cedric doesn't get annoyed at being left out if this is the team. Tadic instead of Sophie Anne please. Apart from that I'd agree, maybe give McQ a game.
Pamplemousse Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 FFS are we still on the rotation? I'm all for giving different players a chance because so many have been rubbish, but we haven't been playing that much in the last couple of months and they have a long break coming up. So he'll probably drop Gabbiadini won't he, Redmond and JWP will start 1 each, maybe McQueen will come in for one. I'd like to see Sims start. Has he started besides his debut? Seen him as a sub a few times but whenever I see him he looks useful and for me he still played a big part in the best moment of the season. We haven't scored in our last three games! So yes, there should be many changes IMO.
HKsaint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Totally agree. Sadly, faith and inspiration are the two things that our current management team seem to be good at destroying.

On second thoughts, maybe not. This is called Puel rotation, who played well will be dropped for next game, so that no one dare to play well.
Bad Wolf Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Dreamt Boro scored, Gabbiadini equalised and then Boro scored again. Finished 2-1
SuperSAINT Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 No idea if we will get Jekyll or Hyde from us today. On one hand they've been very poor under Agnew. On the other, I half expect Boro to play with freedom now they are down. I look back to our results away to Hull & Palace when they were both on terrible runs. Please win today, Saints.
woodsaint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Davis is the captain he won't get dropped I'd push him further up the pitch rather than playing him as a holding player and give Tadic a rest as he has been terrible recently. This. He is excellent in this role for Northern Ireland because hes a more creative player than he is a defensive one. Tackling isnt one of his strengths
SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 This is the game that decides whether we finish closer to 8th or 15th. We still have a great shot at 8th and apart from Leicester (who can potentially get 52 points to our potential 51) it's in our hands. (As it stands, if we win all 3 games (!) it's in our hands to finish 9th.) We should be able to beat Boro, they can barely score goals and we have a host of better players. However we've hardly been setting the world alight recently in that department. Nevertheless I think today will be the day we step it up and pick up a win. Win today, and by my calculations based on other team's fixtures, the worst we can finish is 10th.

JRM Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Modern football summed up in 8 words, "We still have a great shot at eighth' I know what your saying, but it's been like that a long time, I remember people thinking 1989/90 season was amazing when we finished 7th and 94/95 when we finished 10th (above Arsenal, think highest London clubs were QPR and Wimbledon ) So in our history an 8th place top flight finish still gets filed alongside our top 15 most successful seasons probably?
hutch Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Modern football summed up in 8 words, "We still have a great shot at eighth' If you look at who the top 6 are, finishing in the top 8 four seasons in a row would be quite an achievement, whatever way you spin it.

Saint-Fred Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 If you look at who the top 6 are, finishing in the top 8 four seasons in a row would be quite an achievement, whatever way you spin it. It definitely is but this season the premier league is really poor...everyone below Everton has a negative goal difference... West Brom haven't won for an age..that middle section is probably the worst set of teams I have seen finish around there... Even the commentators are often talking about how poor games are this season.
St Marco Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 I got a feeling we will beat them. Probably be a repeat of the first game where the game was **** and it took one bit of genius to score. 0-1 to saints
Pamplemousse Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 I'm going for a very easy 8-0 victory (four of which are own goals) and Tadic to miss a penalty
Wimborne_saint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Rotation returns - actually looking forward to this. Freshening the team up might be just what we need Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

AK Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Gabbi not even on bench.....injured? You can see him on Saints FB video getting off the coach.
saint lard Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 He's either underestimating the opposition.....and doesn't sense the same importance of actually getting a win under our belts with a comprehensive footballing display. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
whelk Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 no Gabbi on bench will no doubt annoy me as bound to be needed as front pair underwhelm. You never know though and like others it feels interesting and fresh
whelk Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 You can see him on Saints FB video getting off the coach. Grabbed Puel's throat?
