Saint86 Posted 11 January, 2022 Share Posted 11 January, 2022 Might sound really negative, but after the effort of the Swansea cup game, i'd take a point tonight. At full freshness i'd expect us to go for the win, but nothing is guaranteed with saints and we all know we drop points when at full strength - So as it is, tired players, a few injures and absentees, i'd take the point right now.

Not sure how I feel about that TBH 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.

M271 Posted 11 January, 2022 Share Posted 11 January, 2022 (edited) I think that once a broadcaster has picked the live match for televising then they have to stick to it. Does seem strange to be able to televise ours one hour behind starting when the match is still going on, must be a broadcasting time delay limit rule in the contract somewhere. This Digital Spy thread has some people posting who talk about match picks and what might happen with re-arranged matches. They are also saying that of the Arsenal matches still to be picked i.e. March games until end of the season 11 out of 10 will be televised 8 by Sky and 2 by BT !! 2021-22 Premier League TV Fixtures Thread - Page 108 — Digital Spy Edited 11 January, 2022 by M271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of feel the same way, but worried that our next 4 matches are against top 10 teams (with 3 away), so even with Man U's awful form I can't see us picking up many points from those; a win tonight would help protect against the run coming up. A defeat would get me checking the league table again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also start with a back 4, Ralph has played 3 at the back mainly against the bigger teams this season (Spurs, Chelsea (cup), Liverpool & Man U (2nd half only)) and think that this will continue. However, I hope that whatever formation he starts he is ready to change the sysem to adapt to the game a little quicker than some of the previous matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your right, but I believe it will be a back 3 with wing backs. I expect an unusual/surprising choice for one of the wing backs. My views on this are reflected in my comment where I’ve said I’m unsure how I feel about it. I’ve never particularly liked seeing us play with a back 3 if I’m honest. although I may be wrong of course Edited 11 January, 2022 by csh398 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis1947 Posted 11 January, 2022 Share Posted 11 January, 2022 To anyone in the know, could you please confirm that the Brentford match will be on Sky Sports starting at 21.00. If it is, then my intention is to not tune in to Adam Blackmmore and Dave Merrington on the live Radio Solent broadcast and resist all reports of the match and then watch at 9 pm. Am I correct in thinking this is a most unusual thing for Sky Sports.....to show a match 75 minutes after it has started and will ,in effect, still be playing ? My great worry is that I don't listen to the match on radio.....which I incidentally quite enjoy.....and then find at 9 pm that some contractual obligation prevents Sky from broadcasting the Saints match. First World problem I realise but as a Saints fan of over 60 years it would be a buggar to miss out after holding my nerve for 75 mins.😇 A " What ever happened to the Likely Lads " episode comes to mind !

It is extremely weird and I don't ever remember it happening before, although I dare say it has. I'll be streaming hopefully. Not going to make it to St Mary's as it is too late for my youngest on a school night. It's annoying that with these two postponements we've lost two weekend daytime home fixtures but there it is.

CamSaint Posted 11 January, 2022 Share Posted 11 January, 2022 There seems to be a lot of confusion about this. According to my Sky Go planner just now, it says is being shown on Sky Sports Main Event (401) and Sky Sports PL HD (402) but not until 10.30 PM (10.30 PM - 12.15 AM).

Dark Munster Posted 11 January, 2022 Share Posted 11 January, 2022 I had a horrible dream last night Brentford that took us to the cleaners. Mind you, it didn't help that for some reason we had a 5 year old girl in goal. Very talented but she couldn't overcome the physical challenges. Maybe I should limit the alcohol before going to bed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Sports never had a contractual agreement to broadcast this game as it wasn't one of their initial picks for that weekend. It was an error on their behalf, and they've now changed the 9pm showing to "Sky Sports News". For those wondering what they'll be showing at 10:30pm then - it'll be the full 90 minutes as part of their "Game of the Day" (they do this every Saturday) As our game is the only one tonight they can show the full thing after the game has concluded.
