Saints vs Watford - Build Up

[doddisalegend]

Gabbi is a wide man (or at least an inside forward). He has never been a 1 up top striker - which is why he was famed in Italy for cutting inside and smashing them in from 25 yards.

 

an inside forward in 4-3-3 isn't really the same role as a winger in a 4-4-2 though

Quite. Seen nothing from Gabbiadini to suggest he should be starting to be honest.

I've seen plenty from the rest of them to suggest he should be.

Looks more like 4-2-3-1 to me. Armstrong at 10, Redmond and Gabbiadini as wingers/inside forwards.

Just like things didn't instantly go bad after Reed took over (huge positive momentum)

 

They won't instantly improve now he's left either. (huge negative momentum)

 

I'm expecting a new optimism, freedom and desire now we are finally free of the Leslie shackles.... But could honestly take months for that to translate to results and possibly years before we fully recover on/off the field.

 

Fans need to unite and stick together while we recover.

B*tch please.

[HKsaint]

Finally, Hughes can deploy the players that Reed doesn't want.

[Dark Munster]

This. At least with Gabbi we know that he does have potential goals in him, unlike Long and apparently a washed-up Austin.

[Shroppie]

This weather will suit them, dirty Northerners.

Not that bad. Reasonably mild and chance of a shower.

Start Yoshida and don't start Austin.

Looks like a 4231, with Armstrong in the 10. Or possibly a 433.

 

Excluding Hoedt, that’s probably exactly what I would go for as well, if I’m honest.

Yeah, looks like it's eased off a bit.

Wonder what sort of crowd reaction we'll get if we actually score a goal today.

That would make more sense but K billy seems to be ITK and is clear its 4-4-2 which has been Hughes prefered formation.

If we what a what today?

Joy followed moments later by resignation as we let the opposition reply with a goal of their own thanks to a **** up by Hoedt.....probably

Can I have chips with that?

It's not a 4-4-2 though.

[larry12]

I would be amazed if Hughes was letting Reed tell him who to pick in the team. I think he'd rather walk

 

Let me think. Walk out and say goodbye to Les Reed's constant pay off after one year, OR stay and collect up to £6m when I get the sack in a few weeks/months time. Difficult! Alright Les, I will play your Prowsywowsey even tho he's shiiite.

[doddisalegend]

K billy is pretty sure it is.

[Pamplemousse]

I like that team, I think it's got a good balance to it.

 

I'd have stuck with Hoedt and Stephens personally. Glad Armstrong's playing instead of Austin.

Would be happier seeing Hoedt dropped but something tells me he’s seen as the best option currently. Otherwise that’s pretty much our best line-up currently...which says little about the quality in the squad with Redmond still getting a guaranteed start . I hope Obifemi is on the bench and given a proper chance to shine. Can see us losing this by being bullied..0-1.

At what point will this clown of a manager know wtf he is doing. It's just a different roll of the dice every ****ing week. What is he looking at in training fFFFS

[DT]

Hoedt playing. He must have some amazing blackmail material. We have lost.

Pretty much the team I would have been picking since the start of the season. But I'm not a highly paid manager so what do I know.

[StrangelyBrown]

No defensive midfield again. We'll get overrun in midfield while we "try" to win. There's no one in that team to counteract Watford's physicality.

Which of Watford's starting XI would you label as the big physical threats? Why do you think Hojbjerg and Lemina aren't physically strong central midfielders?

Not even having Romeu as an option on the bench seems like a mistake to me.

[Pamplemousse]

Hoedt to score just to shut up the wazzocks here.

[washsaint]

WTF has Stephens done to deserve being dropped (again!). This c**t of a manager makes me want to throw up. HUGHES OUT

[OttawaSaint]

I’m hearing that the guy we’ve been watching wasn’t actually Hoedt but Les Reed in disguise. The real Hoedt should do better.

 

Apparently Reed was picking the team, running training, picking formation, buying all players, cooking the sausage rolls, mowing the turf, falling out with Yoshida etc.

 

With him gone we will be on the up(ward momentum curve ) eventually.

Cardiff deservedly winning

Only when defending I would have thought.

Completely agree. Also hoedt gets another chance despite being completely cock last week whereas Stephens gets the chop.

All I wanna know is who kbilly is or who he knows.

[StrangelyBrown]

Because they are both box to box hard working midfielders. Neither never have been defensive midfielders,b but a so called football expert like yourself would no that, whereas a qualified football coach like myself wouldn't.

No idea what Romeu has done to pee off Hughes, for me he’s the link between defence and midfield. We will see !

The Hoedt situation is certainly strange , he`s been pretty poor a times and more than others who have lost there place

Well we can rule out Les Reed..

his two own goals this season have been laughable.
