Not sure how that is "in form". They need some actual, real form for them get to or past the 40 points you think we need to be clear of them. Newcastle are shite, West Brom are already relegated. If you swapped our situation with theirs and put us 18th, with 26 goals and 5 wins there is no way you'd be identifying the team in 14th, seven points clear as the team going down. No way on earth. We're not going to be relegated and we should be absolutely going for it in the cup. Not that this us anything other than a moronic debate - whatever result we get today has no relationship to what happens at Wembley in a fortnight. Absolutely absurd. Only a matter of time before West Brom overtake us. Only 12 point behind with 8 games left. Also as they are scoring 5 goals a game they are on track to overtake our goal difference. also need to be mindful of the new manager bounce at Sheffield Utd. Really difficult to who is going to get relegated with us, 2 4

Of course, it must’ve been one of the most drab matches played this season. Lose today and confidence will be rock bottom again and we’ll struggle to win our upcoming games. Win today and I think we can kick on and have a good end to the season. I’m very much a fan of Ralph but he needs to adapt to how a game unfolds, and not be hesitant to make changes or adjust formations or tactics of things don’t go our way. No JWP possibly today is a huge loss, already with Romeu out. We need aggression and leadership, players that will shout and rile other players up. Burnley have that, we don’t.

saintwbu Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Everyone saying we never beat Burnley are presumably discounting the fact that we won the previous game against them this season...

S-Clarke Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, Vancouver Saint said: Respect your choice but disagree. Also think it's not a moot debate...we played with freedom and some attacking flair against Bournemouth - and abject against Newcastle, Brighton and others. Don't get me wrong - I'd LOVE to see us win the cup - I still remember exactly where I was when we won in 1976 (playing cricket for the school at an away game against Loretto and listening to the game on a smuggled radio...getting strange looks for screaming when Bobby Stokes scored)...so I don't undervalue it. Neither do I underestimate our situation in the league. I reckon we'll need at least another 6 points, possibly 7 or 8. We have the worst form in the division. Fulham are in form and look like getting out of trouble. Newcastle have a habit of waking up when they need to. Burnley looked like Brazil against Everton - and West Brom looked 500% better than us today vs Chelsea. So where are we getting our points? Would you really swap a (let's face it) a rank-outside chance of winning a Cup Final for our Premier League security? 90 minutes at Wembley (be there anyway for the semi-final, dilutes it) vs a drop to the Championship and potential obscurity for years to come? I wouldn't. What does the performance against Bournemouth have to do with anything? Surely winning is winning, wherever you win a game as well as we did, i'm not sure I can class that as a negative - I'm not sure what you're getting at there. We will need at most, in my opinion, 3 to 4 points. Fulham's form has been overstated. They haven't scored in two and lost to Leeds last time out, a mid-table team. And why do you have more confidence in Newcastle, with Steve Bruce at the helm and no fit attackers, than us? I don't get it. We can do both this year - stay up and compete in the cup, so let's not worry about winning against Leicester. I wouldn't want to be relegated either, but the reality is that it is incredibly unlikely and as rank outside as us winning the cup. (I'd say we've got more chance of winning the cup) Edited 4 April, 2021 by S-Clarke

Disco Stu Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 (edited) This has 1-1 written all over it. People seem confident JWP will be starting. I hope so but I have my doubts. Edited 4 April, 2021 by Disco Stu
Pilchards Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 1-1 ten minutes to go.... great result for both teams.
waylander Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 JWP starts, Redmond upfront with Ings, Adams on the bench
Lighthouse Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Bit harsh on McAdams, guessing he thinks Redmond will be sharper.
Disco Stu Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 JWP starts. Che Adams on the bench. Interesting choice.
S-Clarke Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Forster KWP Bednarek Vestergaard Bertrand Armstrong Diallo JWP Theo Redmond Ings Bench - McCarthy Salisu Stephens Jankewitz Tella Adams Djejenpo ------ Back to our start of season strong-ness tbh. Only Romeu missing from that squad who'd be a starter.
Turkish Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Very surprised to see Ings and Walcott start. Almost full strength with good options off the bench. No excuses. 1
SNSUN Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 I’m going to stay positive before I die of blood clots, we will win today. 3-1 Saints, looking like our old selves. 1
charliemarriott99 Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 This is a must win game where redmond and ings both need to score, a theo goal would be the cherry on the cake
obelisk Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 If we don't get a result with that team it might be time to give up.

charliemarriott99 Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Who and when do we substitute? Im thinking chele and DJ on aat around 65th minute

charliemarriott99 Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Because we always make the wrong subs at completely the wrong time !!

CB Fry Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Nowhere near the strength of side that the likes of Fulham, West Brazil Albion and Newcastle can put out, but all in all the best we can put out there. No excuses today, lads. 1
Professor Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 2 minutes ago, obelisk said: If we don't get a result with that team it might be time to give up. Agree. At last, Ralph has almost his whole squad to pick from. Only Romeu and Smallbone not available. What a change to see such a strong starting line-up with equally strong options on the bench.
obelisk Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Hopefully Danny, Redders & Theo have been spending the last couple of weeks working on some new attacking ideas. Anything inventive in the final third has to be better than some of the stuff served up so far in 2021.
DT Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Very nearly our strongest team. Take Redmond out and would be very confident of getting three points.
Toadhall Saint Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 1 minute ago, DT said: Very nearly our strongest team. Take Redmond out and would be very confident of getting three points. 3 points with 10 men ok. 😉
JustinSFC Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Wanted to wait to see both team sheets. 3-1 home win.
DT Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 1 minute ago, Toadhall Saint said: 3 points with 10 men ok. 😉 Obvs replaced by Adams or Tella but you knew that, having a brain. But actually probs better without him anyway
Totton Saint Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 I hope Ings and Walcott are not too rusty and not match fit. I guess the idea is to get goals in the bank and then substitute them
TWar Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Maybe Adams needs resting having played three times and started twice in the last 7 days. Still surprised not to see him. JWP fit is good but means we will have to wait a bit longer to see Jankewitz get another shot.
whelk Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Tremendous side. Tear into them and take our chances for once. 4-0 1
FarehamSaintJames Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Baffled that Che Adams doesn’t start, but then again if he played the majority of the internationals that’s understandable. Looks as full strength as can be. Burnley are always solid, but nothing special. Go on Saints, get five or six!
whelk Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 Totally not bothered by Adams not being in side. Capable of scoring a belter or two but also controlling with his shin.
Turkish Posted 4 April, 2021 Posted 4 April, 2021 10 minutes ago, whelk said: Tremendous side. Tear into them and take our chances for once. 4-0 Ings, Walcott, Diallo and KWP all to go off injured, fail to take out chances then lose to a defensive error 10 minutes from the end you mean

Adams is bang average and Redmond was MOTM last time out and that performance was much better than anything Adams has done.

But he was excellent in the last game, will be fresh, and is widely thought to be a confidence player, so would be crazy to drop him. 1
