On a side note, anyone know if the cricketers opens early for early kick offs? 11am or so? if not, anyone know of other pubs open around that time? cheers Given the state of us nearly every moment of playing 3/5 at the back this season, it is probably fair to say that formation was the greater risk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a quick guide. 1. Anxiety phase - Lots of formation and line up chat and the other team are world beaters = Match build up. 2. Kneejerk reactions -Lots of FFS, he's useless and Ralph out comments =Match thread. 3. Hindsight mastery phase - We got lucky, other team shit, Ralph still useless, we need to buy more players = Post Match Thread Most accurate view of this site I’ve ever read. Bravo!

waterlooville saint Posted 26 August, 2022 Share Posted 26 August, 2022 I do hope we win this as a number of family members and work colleagues are Man Utd fans. Hopefully they'll turn up like they did against Brentford. I have very fond memories of the victories over them in the '90's at The Dell, especially the changed kit at half-time and the 6-3 victory. Fingers crossed it turns out like those days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted 26 August, 2022 Share Posted 26 August, 2022 Fancy us for 2-0 with this one (Ward-Prowse, Aribo). Always nice to upset Surrey's finest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 26 August, 2022 Share Posted 26 August, 2022 Two clubs at roughly the same stage of development this season with many new players and coaches. Home advantage to Saints, quality advantage to United. The newly minted Adams will be hard to stop so there will be goals in it for us but our defenders are still accident prone so goals in it for them as well. Looks for all the world like a 2-2.

LeBizzier69 Posted 26 August, 2022 Share Posted 26 August, 2022 A fast start by us, with a goal in the first 15-20 mins. All over them, should be 3-4 up by half time. 2nd half is the reverse, they score on around 55-60 mins and then bags the win on 87 mins. #Saintsy.

Convict Colony Posted 26 August, 2022 Share Posted 26 August, 2022 (edited) https://www.premierleague.com/news/2759513 Worth a read. Changing formation several times, Hasenhuttl's in-game decision-making was outstanding during the second halves of both matches. Since Hasenhuttl took charge in December 2018, only Leicester City of the "non-Big Six" clubs has benefited from more goals and assists from players who started on the bench.

That would prob be the only change I would make, appreciating that Moi probably won’t offer much going forward (I also think he is pretty ineffective most of the time) but I think he is picked for the job he does defensively!

Yeah, I was torn between the two Armstrongs. Adam has impressed me in the way we've used him this season. He's been involved in a big way both in terms of defence and offence and has had a hand in some of our goals. I just think his pace and tenacity offers a bit more than Stu at the moment. However, a fully firing Stu when on top of his game is hard to leave out - unfortunately we don't seem to see that from him these days so right now Adam is the better option for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Leicester it certainly seemed to be bring your best players (those who can impact the game) on after half-time. It does seem that this rule change has created a new dynamic and different thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
