davefizzy14 Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Big game tonight - hopefully we can get the win and be within striking distance of the top half. 2-0 to us tonight Ings and Minamino COYR

Win and we can relax and have a fun end to the season, lose and it's between us, Brighton and Fulham for the 3rd relegation spot.

If we lose tonight and beat Everton in our next game, will we still be in a battle for the 3rd relagation spot (given we can 'relax and have a fun end to the season' if we beat Leeds tonight but then lose to Everton)...?

Saints foreva Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Cant see that starting lineup scoring.
beatlesaint Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Cue the conspiracy theories with Ings being dropped.....
Teddeer Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 So Leeds best player is out injured and Ralph decides to even things up by dropping our best player to the bench. Strange but assume there is method in the apparent madness. We shall see.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 We seem to have one player at least who is undroppable.

sydney_saint Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Djenepo better have a niggle. Cos after putting it all on the line to help us get a point, it would send completely the wrong message to then drop him.

Mr Brightside Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Not overly surprised, Ings has looked a bit off the pace recently.

We played 3 days ago and he got lumps kicked out of him, not surprised if he needs a rest.

Strange but assume there is method in the apparent madness. We shall see. A fit and in form Danny Ings is undoubtedly our best player. Unfortunately, he hasn't been both of those things since before his injury in December. Perhaps a rest/dropping will do him good.

Those are different things! 😉 I guess Hasenhuttl has done it to keep things fresh in the front 4 players. We have some useful options on the bench if needed.

TWar Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Does this signify us focusing the cup? Benching our more important injury prone lads? Surprised Minimino doesn't start if thats the case as he can't play Cup.
Saint_clark Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 Actually kind of agree with Ings being dropped. Minamino being dropped however is an odd one, shouldn't need a rest as he got one for the cup game.

Shroppie Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 I'd guess Djenepo is a bit battered. Could be that Ralph doesn't think Ings and Minamino will last a full game, so save them for when a high-intensity Leeds maybe tire?

Surprised Minimino doesn't start if thats the case as he can't play Cup. The cup game is on the 20th March, so it is completely irrelevant to tonight's selection decisions. What is more relevant is we played 3 days ago and the front four players did a lot of running, so we have put some fresh players in the starting XI.
Teddeer Posted 23 February, 2021 Posted 23 February, 2021 (edited) I predict those saying Ings needed dropping to the bench will be screaming for him to be brought on at half time. Hope to be proved wrong. Edited 23 February, 2021 by Teddeer
