Micky Posted 18 March, 2019 Posted 18 March, 2019 It's a massive game and they will be well up for it. If they win then they effectively cut us adrift at the bottom, 6 point cushion with 8 to play - they'd take that all day long. For us I think it's more a must not lose game. That said, would I take the point - I'm not sure.
captainchris Posted 19 March, 2019 Posted 19 March, 2019 What can Ralph do to ensure we are ‘at it’ after a long lay off. We seem to be off the pace straight after gaps in fixtures?
fanimal Posted 19 March, 2019 Posted 19 March, 2019 Will be the same for both teams this time though....hopefully will make a difference plus with them having one eye on the FACSF
eelpie Posted 19 March, 2019 Posted 19 March, 2019 Will be the same for both teams this time though....hopefully will make a difference plus with them having one eye on the FACSF Not quite the same. Players with a semi final and cup final close tend not to want to get injured. I'll never forget the massive league defeat from Arsenal just before we played them in the final. I think we lost 0-7 or thereabouts. I'm actually relieved that Brighton and not us are in sight of Wembley at this time, for that reason. We need the points more.
jamesfp1 Posted 19 March, 2019 Posted 19 March, 2019 I thought Millwall had knocked them out! Was 2-0 5mins from time last time I looked!

Charlie Wayman Posted 23 March, 2019 Posted 23 March, 2019 A 3-0 win won't take us above them but at least the GD gap will be gone
Tamesaint Posted 23 March, 2019 Posted 23 March, 2019 A 3-0 win won't take us above them but at least the GD gap will be gone We would be above them on goals scored.
Matthew Le God Posted 23 March, 2019 Posted 23 March, 2019 A 3-0 win won't take us above them but at least the GD gap will be gone Yes it would because we would have scored 5 more goals then them. So we'd move above them in the league.
Micky Posted 23 March, 2019 Posted 23 March, 2019 Just at random? What's the connection?I live in the area, my young son's friend is a Shrewsbury fan. Second time I have watched the skates this season (took in the game at Bradford as well), they've won both. That said, on both occasions they really weren't that great, soaked up the pressure and took their chances. But both Bradford and Shrewsbury are struggling in this league as well so it's no ringing endorsement of the skates tbf. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
eurosaint Posted 24 March, 2019 Posted 24 March, 2019 Cardiff City striker, Calum Patterson off injured playing for Scotland, doesn’t look good for him ! They play Chelsea at the weekend !
doddisalegend Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 God I wish this game would hurry up and get here. The win against spurs was great but then to have such a long break after that game has been a real kicker. Try as I might I can't get excited by international football I want some saints action again. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

OttawaSaint Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Starting to feel the nerves for this one. Get it done Saints! A win here and we can breathe a bit easier.
striker Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Massive match for both. Brighton can pull clear with a win, but fall into the thick of things with a loss
SuperSAINT Posted 25 March, 2019 Author Posted 25 March, 2019 Massive match for both. Brighton can pull clear with a win, but fall into the thick of things with a loss They've been plummeting until recently. 3 straight wins have seemingly sorted them out though.
hasper57saint Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 After the disappointment of the Manure match and the euphoria of our win over the Spuds shooting down the S.h.i.t.e.h.a.w.k.s will mean three points and opens up the gap on those below us. Who's the Ref for this one?

Who's the Ref for this one? Michael Oliver. Due to the fact it's one of those massive, massive, passionate local derby's.
waylander Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Did somebody say Murray was suspended? I would be delighted if this was the case but I don't recall seeing it.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Did somebody say Murray was suspended? Someone did, but then someone else quickly pointed out that at this stage of the season 10 yellows is required for a ban.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Someone did, but then someone else quickly pointed out that at this stage of the season 10 yellows is required for a ban. A shame but thanks Ottawa
hasper57saint Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Michael Oliver. Due to the fact it's one of those massive, massive, passionate local derby's. Compared to the previous three we've had we may get a few 50/50 calls then?
austsaint Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 I'm hoping Ralph doesn't forget what a great half Sims played v Spurs
woodsaint Posted 25 March, 2019 Posted 25 March, 2019 Shane Duffy a doubt for ROI tomorrow and possibly for saturday too. Would be a loss for Brighton
saint1977 Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 I'm hoping Ralph doesn't forget what a great half Sims played v Spurs Needs to show Ralph now that he can have the same impact from the start against fresh legs. Will still be on the bench but that’s an improvement as we need all the quick and direct players in the squad that we can find.
DT Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 We need at least a point as I am a bit worried about Cardiff at home versus a Chelsea team that may well not turn up again
DT Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 Michael Oliver. Due to the fact it's one of those massive, massive, passionate local derby's. To be fair he's a decent ref. probably the best IMHO
Saint Kent Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 I know it's unlikely but if anyone has a spare ticket please let me know
waylander Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 Shane Duffy a doubt for ROI tomorrow and possibly for saturday too. Would be a loss for Brighton Duffy in the ROI side tonight
Yorkshire Saint Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 Gunn Valery Bertrand Maya Jan Vest Mario Oriel Redmond Ings Armstrong Bench Forster Stephen's JWP Austin Long Slattery
Matthew Le God Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 Gunn Valery Bertrand Maya Jan Vest Mario Oriel Redmond Ings Armstrong Bench Forster Stephen's JWP Austin Long Slattery Puzzled why anyone would drop Ward-Prowse. He played 10 minutes for England on Monday so will hardly be exhausted on Saturday and is in the form of his life!
S-Clarke Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 Gunn Valery Bertrand Maya Jan Vest Mario Oriel Redmond Ings Armstrong Bench Forster Stephen's JWP Austin Long Slattery An odd team to say the least. I would hope and fully expect Lemina will be on the bench. Would need his head seeing to if he drops JWP.
John Boy Saint Posted 26 March, 2019 Posted 26 March, 2019 Gunn Valery Bertrand Maya Jan Vest Mario Oriel Redmond Ings Armstrong Bench Forster Stephen's JWP Austin Long Slattery Blimey dropping a player who has scored 6 goals in the last 10 games for a player who has scored just ONE goal! Sims nowhere to be seen, he’s one who fits the Ralph blueprint.

He played 10 minutes for England on Monday so will hardkly be exhausted on Saturday and is in the form of his life! Indeed, I'm not a JWP fan but he fully deserves his place. The other two odd things about Nic75Sfc's team is the absence of Sims and Forster over McCarthy.
eurosaint Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 Gunn Valery Bertrand Maya Jan Vest Mario Oriel Redmond Ings Armstrong Bench Forster Stephen's JWP Austin Long Slattery So Hojberg (the captain) is not even in the squad ??? A bit of a strange selection IMHO
Tamesaint Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 So Hojberg (the captain) is not even in the squad ??? A bit of a strange selection IMHO ... and for some reason we are only going to bother with 6 subs.
John Boy Saint Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 Poor old Nick is going to wish he hadn’t indulged in that second can of Top Deck Shandy before posting his team line up
DT Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 2-0 saints 1-1 and would be happy with that if Chelsea turn up against Cardiff. Quite big if.
TWar Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 Gunn Valery Bednarek Vestergaard Bertrand PEH Romeu JWP Sims/Armstrong Redmond Ings Probably with Armstrong starting the game and Sims coming on when their defence is tired.
Yorkshire Saint Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 I knew I'd missed someone! Sorry Pierre you are rested this week along with JWP, Sims and McArthy. I thought it might lighten the discussion a little
austsaint Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 I knew I'd missed someone! Sorry Pierre you are rested this week along with JWP, Sims and McArthy. I thought it might lighten the discussion a little Well done for a good humoured reply Do you think we can get by with 6 on the bench?
Saint IQ Posted 27 March, 2019 Posted 27 March, 2019 We should have too much quality for them but we all know it's never that simple Gotta love this kind of arrogance, when we are below them in the league and their home form is pretty decent (W6 D4 L4). Typical modern Saints fan reaction after a decent win. Let's not kid ourselves that this will suddenly be an easy game. A point is a decent enough result here after the win against Spurs. Brighton will clearly be bang up for it. Is it arrogance simply stating I think we have more quality than them therefore it should come through? What is a "modern" saints fan? I've been supporting since the mid 90s. Never said It'd be easy in fact i implied the opposite. If Redmond gets puts in a 9/10 performance and everyone else is a 7 or 8 we win this game.
