RH has a couple of decisions to make but not a great amount of choice 
I reckon Stevens rather than Salisu, Stu rather than Moj and Adam A. rather than Broja
He'll trust his 4222 and bring in Broja and Moj mid second half if we're chasing the game, else close it with Salisu or Lyanco moving us to a 5-4-1

Forster
JWP Bednarek Stevens, Perraud
Stu A. Romeu Diallo Redmond
Adam A. C.Adams

Interesting to think where he'd want to invest in Jan... Left back, Wide left, Striker? I'd save our money and go for a real top class GK in the summer.

got it totally wrong... yay 🙂

3 at the back?

Looks that way. 3421 or some such, JWP right wing back. Decent looking team.

Yep, better option than Stephens or Bednarek at right back in a 4.

Hopefully Salisu and Lyanco as the wide CBs who can push up a bit

I'd rather have Redmond on the right. 

[TWar]

Could be a 4141 with Bednarek at RB or a 352 with Redmond/Tella at wingback, or a 4222 with a bednarek at rb and Diallo as one of the 10s. Or 343 with JWP as a wingback. Will have to wait and see.

Club wouldn't have listed Perraud so far down if he was at left back in a flat back 4.

True, from the listing it is probably a 343.

I can't imagine anything other than a back 3. With Diallo in the side it seems likely that we'll see JWP down the right. Anything is possible with Ralph though! 

[DT]

Hoping for 1-1. Fearing 1-2 with Toney goals. Come on saints. 

[suewhistle]

Headscratching here but no doubt in the Brentford camp as well..

Very unlikely, if Ralph plays that way then he automatically loses one of his in-form midfielders Romeu, JWP & Diallo. I expect him to start more or less where he left off on Saturday and whilst some players will last longer than others he will take the risk and haul them off when they're knackered.

For me it's a no brainer especially with SArmstrong nowhere near match-fit enough to start.

Forster

JWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud

Romeu Diallo

Redmond Elyounoussi

Tella Broja

 

Why wouldn't he start with his current best eleven as this is in effect a six pointer? A good win and Saints are knocking on the door of the top ten. Some tough games coming up so this one is a 'must' win that we need to win. I'm going for 2-0.

Seems I was right Charlie 😉 

[suewhistle]

Lots of noisy discussion on possible formations here in the pub..

[Saint_clark]

Any ideas of where to look for streams? 

[Wimborne_saint]

Elyounoussi missing with Covid

Cheers for all the suggestions guys. 

[Dark Munster]

Decent starting 11 I think. Also nice to see Walcott in his best position, left back (in the changing room).

It will be a back 3 tonight, with wing backs. Not sure how I feel about that TBH

Good call after all. 3-4-3 has surprised me but with Elyounoussi down with Covid maybe Ralph's options were limited.

[Saint_clark]

Tim Sherwood really is a cunt, so disrespectful to Brentford there.

Agree, I feared we might see him this evening. Good to see a number of youngsters on the bench

[LiberalCommunist]

Come on Saints.

We've been waiting a long time for this.

My stream showing the line up as a 352 with Tella in CM!

Last game he was centreback, now in CM... He’s pushing up every week

I was just getting over his first comment about Brentford when I heard that, it’s like he’s a comedy character. 

[nta786]

GOAAAALL SAINTS 1-0

[Saint_clark]

How is that not handball ffs.

[DT]

That’ll do

[stknowle]

Niiiiiiiice. Get in.

[nta786]

Quick, place a bet on this result finishing 3-2

Bednarek has scored, at home we’ve always lost 3-2, but away we beat WHU 3-2... 

[Viking Saint]

Perfect start

[Saint NL]

Great start.

 

What's the stat when Bednarek scores? 😳

[obelisk]

Bednarek scores. Slightly worrying.

[AlexLaw76]

Does salisu have a very useful long throw?

 

Is that henrik Kraft "the owner of the holding company" in the stands?

 

 

[Jonnyboy]

Get Bednarek up front.

Just replay him getting sent off for Blackburn at the Dell for spitting at Jim Magilton - lowest form of pondlife in the game. No wonder he got booed at Spurs and the fish shed https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/6181087.rovers-sherwood-go/

Bednarek - great start!

I will wait for our second. 

[nta786]

Broja did pretty well on the byline, got past Jannson. Some good stuff so far

[manji]

Dragan is at St Mary’s 

[Lighthouse]

Perraud should have gambled at the far post there.
