Lighthouse Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 It is getting a bit 'Earth Song' out there.
hasper57saint Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Don't worry about the wind.We only play crab football on the deck.
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Don't worry about the wind.We only play crab football on the deck. until the final ball were we loft a long floaty cross to no one in particular....maybe the wind will do us a favour and actually blow the crossed ball to someone in a saints shirt.
Highfield Saint Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 This forum is so f***ing s**t Everyone seems to take every opportunity to run the club/manager/players down
JRM Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 until the final ball were we loft a long floaty cross to no one in particular....maybe the wind will do us a favour and actually blow the crossed ball to someone in a saints shirt. Is there any news on West Brom keepers injury progress?
Pamplemousse Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Is there any news on West Brom keepers injury progress? Both of them will have a fitness test before the game. They're hopeful that one of them will be fit.
Ken Tone Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Is the weather really all that bad in Southampton this morning ? I live about 30 miles north of the city and whilst it is windy here, with occasional bursts of heavy rain, it's not much more than you'd expect on a normal Autumn windy day. From here you certainly wouldn't have cancelled the great south run. Our enclosed stadium tends to deflect the worst of high winds during a game too ...... Unless someone boots it too high!
cellone Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Stuck at home and off my tits on medication. If the game goes ahead then I'm going for a win. Continuing the steady progression. To the Pelligrouts, I can't argue with most of the doubts and worries but I do think that it's worth keeping the faith. Other than the nonsense (Ducky's words not mine) I wrote in my take it easy thread I can't give you any counter chat. Just grin and abide. November is when we will see if the many concerns are justified or the ramblings of a medicated, half crippled loon who knows little about football made a lucky guess. Anyway. Come on Saint's, stop making me look like an over enthusiastic ****.
IFHP Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Both of them will have a fitness test before the game. They're hopeful that one of them will be fit. Lets be honest, it wouldn't matter if they weren't we wouldn't test or put pressure on a "rooky" keeper anyway.

tobes8 Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Well it's windy but can't think it's bad enough to call a match off. It's not forecast to get any worse that it is now. To the game itself I just hope we start with some energy and not the crab,snail,slug football we've been playing this season. Watching the Chelsea v Watford match and very impressed with Watford. Pace, strength, attacking flair and goals. Wish we could have some of that. Head says 0-0, heart says saints 1-0 win
Pamplemousse Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Reading the West Brom forum, they're not happy at all. They anticipate Pulis to park the bus and play for a 0-0 draw.
benjii Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Very windy at the moment but the forecast suggests the worst of it is during the next couple of hours and it shouldn't be too bad by kick off.
benjii Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Reading the West Brom forum, they're not happy at all. They anticipate Pulis to park the bus and play for a 0-0 draw. Well that's what they do every match so it's probably a decent bet.
Shanghai Saint Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Watching Chelsea Watford we should have been more decisive and secured Marco Silva when we had the chance. What a job he’s done.
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Watching Chelsea Watford we should have been more decisive and secured Marco Silva when we had the chance. What a job he’s done. Don't think we need to employ Silva to lose to Chelsea by four goals....
benjii Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Watford are nothing special at all, just on a decent run of form. Similar to West Brom last season.
Pamplemousse Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Don't think we need to employ Silva to lose to Chelsea by four goals.... Same score as in April. But Silva is the much better manager....
Dusic Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Need a win today or the chance of being dragged into the bottom 3 soon becomes ever higher.
ErwinK1961 Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Need a win today or the chance of being dragged into the bottom 3 soon becomes ever higher. Cheers Captain Obvious.
5string Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Bloody hell !! Never expected to see anything like this from him again Maybe he has to sell himself on the club circuit now, as he won't be going to the World Cup. Sorry, did I say "sell"?
wooley7 Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Davis in for Redmond! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pamplemousse Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Foster starting for West Brom. It'll be interesting to test his dodgy knee
Monk Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 So unhappy with this...again. But behind the lads in the shirt. Not so much the tits on the front row of the bench.
Greedyfly Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 At least this week I'm bored BEFORE the match starts. What a truly uninspiring line up with just the dropping of Redmond the only positive. Here's hoping I eat my words.
5string Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Foster starting for West Brom. It'll be interesting to test his dodgy knee It'll also be interesting to test that commentator/pundit (Steve Claridge?) who keeps calling Forster 'Foster'.
mrfahaji Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Also strange that 4-4-2 didn’t appear to work particularly well in the last game, yet we’re going with it again. Could make a difference if Davis plays more centrally and Gabb/Long pull out wide though.
5string Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 4.4.2 ? I remember being criticised quite bluntly for suggesting a 'subbuteo-like' 4-4-2 formation earlier this season. Well, lets see if it works. If not, I'll head back to my table for a flick! I quite like this team, though more creative players should start, eg. Boufal, JWP. Davis should be kept for later stability or 'drive' if needed, or to give Lemina or Romeu a rest.
trousers Posted 21 October, 2017 Author Posted 21 October, 2017 Anyone know what Boufal has to do to get in the starting 11? Changed the dynamics of the game when he came on last week. I don't get it.
beatlesaint Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 After his sub appearance last week Boufal must wonder what the hell he has to do to get a start.
niceandfriendly Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Today must be all about the manner of the defeat rather than the defeat itself. If we come away being beat and having played woefully, MP will feel a lot of pressure and we'll go into Brighton without any confidence. However, get beat by the one goal and have had one or two close chances and we'll feel much better going into the Brighton game. Make them earn their victory Saints.

5string Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 (edited) Well, the BBC have got us in a 4-5-1 formation (Gabbi up top, Long wide right, Davis central), with WBA in a 4-3-3. Makes us look defensive and them look attacking. Is that accurate? Edited 21 October, 2017 by 5string yeah, I meant 4-5-1, didn't I?
saintsmike25 Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 I think the formation is really a 4-5-1 with Gabbi operating as an attacking midfielder, Davis will play a bit further inside and the width will come from Cedric. Still would have preferred Boufal, but I think the key is to keep West Brom quiet and stay solid as WBA can hit hard on the break - and would Boufal do the same defensive work? He'll be better coming on in the last half an hour.

washsaint Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 What a totally predictable, uninspiring lineup from a manager massively out of his depth.
Convict Colony Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 So unhappy with this...again. But behind the lads in the shirt. Not so much the tits on the front row of the bench. I agree whole heartedly, this stinks of fearing loss than trying to win, that is not a winning mentality.
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 15 minutes to go SMS looks half empty. At least we are getting the old saints goals montage on the big screen most entertaining part of home games these days..
trousers Posted 21 October, 2017 Author Posted 21 October, 2017 have an end product.....Yep, fair point. Best not sacrifice one of our end-product machines for someone without one...
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Yep, fair point. Best not sacrifice one of our end-product machines for someone without one... 1 goal no assists in 28 league appearances ....
Convict Colony Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 1 goal no assists in 28 league appearances .... Again with this, how may of those appearances were subs !!!!
Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 Weird team selection for a home game...defensive looking so don't expect goals. Oh dear.
Avenue_Saint Posted 21 October, 2017 Posted 21 October, 2017 1 goal no assists in 28 league appearances .... Give it a rest... your bias is becoming a bit obvious now!
