Sheffield Utd 0-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Chapel End]

Hope the 3 are back but if they are let's hope for no further injuries to anyone especially the returning ones 

[ecurnew02]

Feeling confident today! 2-0 win 

[Appy]

Phew, we have a right back.

Great news 😊

[VectisSaint]

Tella starting. Deserves that from what I've seen. 

[SuperSAINT]

 

[The Cat]

Seems like a sensible and balanced line up taking into account players coming back from injury and the form of some others. 

[Lighthouse]

That’s as good a team as we can put out and, aside from Rom, probably our strongest XI.

Interesting. Great opportunity for him to make an impact. Good luck to him.

[The Cat]

Bench looks stronger as well.

[davefizzy14]

Happy with the lineup Ralph has picked great news to have KWP, Diallo and Minamino back  great to see Tella start too. Stronger bench too. COYR

I hope these players aren’t being rushed back in but Ralph and the team knows best- so if they can play 90 minutes then I am all for it  

Come on Saints please give us a nice comprehensive win

[LuckyNumber7]

Minamino up front makes me happy.

Strongest looking match day squad for a long time.

[Chapel End]

Should be no forum complaints about that line up 

[Jonnyboy]

Strong team

[goodymatt]

I guess we are managing Djenepo with his injury history. I think he’s a stronger option than Tella. We miss Walcott for sure.

Che Adams is in poor form but he loves a goal against Sheffield United. His brute force would be useful against a team like this.

[whelk]

Going to hammer them today boys,

[Suhari]

Strong team - very happy with that.

Just hope the returning players have not been rushed back too quickly.

That long? 😉

[DT]

That’s our best possible team line up. Like that he’s dropped Redmond, that Adams’ plodding performances have been replaced by Tella and Minamino’s potential zip, that Forster has retained his place and that joy of joy Diallo and KWP are back. Need to get it done.

Take Tella out for one of Walcott, Redmond, Djenepo or Adams and I’d agree with you.

Yeah, that bench is the right balance of youth and experience.  

Let's just get this one over the line PLEASE. Could really do without being thoroughly pissed off all weekend again. 

[Suhari]

I'm predicting a Diallo 25 yarder.

As own goals go, that would be a stonker

[Pamplemousse]

Anything other than three points is unacceptable.

 

So glad Tella is playing and not Redmond. Redmond could learn from watching Tella.

On current form, Tella is a better option than either of Redmond, Djenepo or Adams. If Walcott was fit and in the firm he was before injury, it would be a toss-up between them.

[Viking Saint]

Very happy with that. Best we can do atm. Hope Minamino shows up today, but Redmond finally being dropped is a relief. 

[Daft Kerplunk]

As good a line up as we could have. Fingers crossed we get the 3 points

[SoberSaint]

Decent line-up. Tella deserves his place - very positive!

 

[Turkish]

Decent team, better bench against the bottom of the league team with loads of players out. No excuses today

[M271]

No excuses today, strong team line up against a weakened bottom of the table club. 

[aintforever]

Liking that team, a real right back and holding midfielder plus no Redmond.

[obelisk]

Apparently the last time Saints lost 6 away games in a row was 2005. 😬 Time to stop the rot after 5 away defeats here in 2021.

[Toadhall Saint]

If we play our game the way we can then we win. Let’s not get dragged into playing how SU want us to play.

Based on what? Tella, yes promising, but hasn’t really done anything in any games he’s played in. I hope he can offer something in behind today.

Premature EjaculaNun? w00t!

 

UTS - we CAN win this and that is probably our strongest team sans injuries. STOP THE ROT AND WIN!!! FFS

[nta786]

Sky Sports haven’t opted to get a presenter or pundit for this it seems?

Looks like commentators will cover anything.

Been a while since we had some lucky nuns and muffins on a match thread.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Now that's what I call a strong starting lineup! I've got a much better feeling about this. 

 

COYS!!!

[JustinSFC]

Not a chance that lineup loses against that racket today.

Nice muffins.

[itchen]

Suddenly feeling optimistic. Things will look a lot better if we finally get a win today.

I reckon we’ve got, "why play a simple forward pass when you could play a needlessly complicated, hospital ball across your own half," written in Latin over the entrance to Staplewood.
