Vancouver Saint Posted 7 December, 2018 Share Posted 7 December, 2018 Think we'll win 1-0. Shame we don't have the speed up front we need to be able to counter-attack with Obafemi gone. With no Ings, Gabbi in the toilet and Austin slow we are really short of threat up-front. Lemina to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 7 December, 2018 Share Posted 7 December, 2018 Who are the guys either side of Hoedt behind him? they’re U23’s as well aren’t they? Not the clearest of photos but I think it might be Harry Hamlin on the left. On the right is Jack Stephens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 7 December, 2018 Share Posted 7 December, 2018 Good to see Barnes training with the first team. Will he be added tothe squad in January so that he can actually play? Glad someone else asked who the guy behind Hoedt (on the left is) I've been wondering that as well. Don't recall seeing him in any of the u23 games I've watched. Definitely not Stephens on his right, actually looks more like Shane Long (but isn't). They've obviously been added as back up behind Hoedt who is just about due another horlicks.

Shance Posted 8 December, 2018 Share Posted 8 December, 2018 Things are looking pretty bleak atm so we really need a win here. 9 points over christmas is what we need to be aiming for. 3 wins.

whelk Posted 8 December, 2018 Share Posted 8 December, 2018 They both seem to be basing it on him not knowing how Cardiff will play, but we were told that Cardiff was one of the team's he watched last week. I wouldn't be surprised if he also has watched their Tuesday game as well. Plus I'd still fancy our chances of beating them with Hughes, they really are not very good, I know neither are we but I think we have more quality and our luck has to change at some point. I have heard some of the PL games are videoed so you never know he might have watched something. Stab in the dark I know. Takes a proper football bloke to know the PL. Need new pundits - like the Sky panel but many living in the past with their knowledge of what is going on. Even you would have scored that one Geoff.

Brumsaint Posted 8 December, 2018 Share Posted 8 December, 2018 I reckon he'll go with his 4-2-2-2 formation from the off and will expect the players to fit into it. Is Targett fit? If not, he might go for Vokins at LB, as he's been promoted as a big supporter of chances for the youth players.

SFC-TID! Posted 8 December, 2018 Share Posted 8 December, 2018 A few tibits I’ve been told - It’s been going on a while, Hughes was getting the bullet whenever we got him. Atmosphere at the club was horrid under Hughes. Very detached from first team. Bertrand a bad influence. Often late for training and acts like he owns the place. Austin similar. Massive ego. Redmond not great around the place. Ralph has banned all player apprences this week. He’s also banned anyone bar coaches watching the training sessions. He’s a disciplinarian and strict.

Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2018 Author Share Posted 8 December, 2018 Austin has been awful in recent games but he was much more involved at Tottenham. Maybe a new manager is what he needs. He was more involved because he came on with 20 minutes left when we were 3-0 down and the game was already over. Just look at the goal he scored; he didn't sprint through their defence because he has suddenly acquired an extra 5 yards of pace. Spurs defenders were in the bar when he scored that goal and in second gear from 60th minute onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
