Our strongest possible lineup. Ralph is resting Salisu and KWP as they both have slight knocks. Hopefully Long isn't too bad either. 2-0 to us today- Prowsey and Broja with the goals COYR

No surprises in our line up.

Ings is bound to score Ffs.

Why? Has scored very few in last 2 seasons for a reason. More likely that Mings or Chambers will score to be honest (but I know what will happen now of course). 

[Toadhall Saint]

Broja could have a field day against mings and chambers

No Long on the bench, we might struggle. 😉

Exactly for the reason that Saints seem to always let one in to strikers who are on a barren run! Take Antonio in midweek.

Im only half serious and being norman negative, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

I assume KWP has a slight knock as he has been immense lately.

Hamstring according to Ralph, hopefully not serious.

Can't be too serious given he's on the bench...?

Ralph said it on Thursday, that he was subbed off Wednesday because of it as a precaution.

Either way I prefer it too! I like the progression Perraud is making.

[skintsaint]

Their back 4 looks pretty weak. Hopefully we turn up and exploit that.

[Saint Matty 76]

I'm a little bit scared about a "minor" Salisu injury after his first year.

[Baird of the land]

Shame Salisu is out. Hope he's back soon.  Curious to see if KWP comes on or he'e only there in case of emergency.

Happy to see no Digne for them.

Ralph also mentioned rotation, we now have three excellent full backs meaning real competition for places. We have really seen the benefit of this this season.

[iansums]

Looks like the club have put yellow and blue scarves on every seat today for Ukraine.

[woksaintly]

Streams for this game?

[ButtikonSaint]

Pretty settled line up, good attacking options available on the bench whilst defensive is maybe a bit light.
Coutinho is the obvious threat from advanced midfield but hopefully Romeu has him in his pocket.
Hoping for a win but more than happy with a draw and keeping the unbeaten run going. 
1-2 Saints... COYS

Try streamsgatetv, woksaintly.  It always works for me.

Good one cheers 

[Suhari]

Good afternoon.

Strong lineup. Looking forward to this.

[Mr X]

Going to be a tough tough game, just our luck if ings gets it together in this game, if we are at our best we can get something, would certainly take a draw

Anyone else listening on the saints website, the coverage seems to have gone down?

DDos by Russian? wouldn't be surprised

[SaintBobby]

damn

[Saints foreva]

Fuck sake. Too easy. 

[The Kraken]

Good start. Ings assist.

[Teddeer]

Bugger!

[Mr X]

Ffs 

[Saints foreva]

Shite from both CBs. Both done too easily. 

[Suhari]

Nuts.

 

[Saint Matty 76]

Well there we go, back to this calamity pairing.

[Mr X]

Nearly first attack 

[obelisk]

Poor, poor defending from Stephens.

[Disco Stu]

That was some poor defending.

[HKsaint]

Typical Stephens 

[Edmonton Saint]

That’s the Stephens we all love and admire..

[Saint Fan CaM]

And there you have it - the problem with messing about too much and with a poor CB combination that don’t know how to play with each other. Valery has been a better CB than Stephens!

[obelisk]

Saints have had plenty of possession but without troubling Villa in the slightest so far.

[Chez]

When Stephens' ability to get tight, turn quickly and prevent the chance is actually tested, he fails the test. Salisu is a major loss.

Not sure why KWP hasn't started too. Our best form is with him in the side ahead of Livramento. Is he injured?

[Saint NL]

Need to hold firm for 5 minutes and then try to get into the game. 

Sounds a good atmosphere there tbf to villa.

[macca155]

Two things

Usual suspects will pile on Stephens. Looked like a very good turn from Watkins in my opinion.

Long way to go in this game havecsome faith.

He turned. Stephens didn't. Not nearly sharp enough. For me, Stephens has looked sluggish this season compared to previous. He looks like he has lost half a yard of pace.

[obelisk]

Close from Armstrong. Really expected it to go in.
