To be expected I guess but it's probably going to be a bit sparse at St. Mary's tonight. No trains, poor form, no signings,school night, cash is tight and a  general acceptance we are going down, I reckon we could be looking at 24 to 25k. UTS 😇

Light show must add back about 10k. Full stadium 

[alehouseboys]

Around 30,000 ‘sold’ but, as suggested, there’ll be a number of ST no-shows all things considered.

This game should get the blood pumping but watching us for some time now has all the appeal of a kick to the bollocks.

[baggytrousers]

Win tonight puts us 2 points behind Leicester in 13th.

Over the last few years i've been thinking we are due to tonk someone ourselves, its been a long few years of that theory being disproved wrong but tonight i stand by my 7-0 victory.

At least we won't have to listen to the "You're going down with the ________" chants like we have in recent games. Unless they're planning to sing "You're going down with the ourselves"

Last time we beat someone by 4 goals or more at home in the league was the 4-0 win against Arsenal in 2015!!

We were on a bit of a slump then as well, we'd gone into that game after losing to Norwich or Burnley? (maybe both) and were falling down the table, there were people starting to call for Koeman to go. I remember Fonte doing a rallying call, and there was talk of some of the senior players meeting to pull heads together in advance of that game. And the rest was history.

That's what happens when you have leaders throughout a club.

[Convict Colony]

I remember the sunderland game - OG was our top scorer that day, he scored a hat-trick.

Download an app called “Live Soccer TV” and go to broadcasts, will give you a list of where the game is being shown.

4-1 win tonight.  Manager will select a side that for once won't have us scratching our heads.  Starts for Stu A and DCC.

We're going to fucking smash them.

[tunit]

Win tonight would be huge for confidence and the mood of everyone, but a loss or draw isn't certain relegation. Plenty of time for us to find some form later in the season and scrap our way to survival

[danjosaint]

We need prob 8 wins and 4 draws so it must start tonight, a loss would be huge in terms of negativity for the players and despite post above could be the begining of the end 

[rallyboy]

Must win.

[Sfcphilc]

If we're sticking with a back 5, I'd like to see something like this.

                Bazunu

KWP-ABK-DCC-Salisu-Perraud

             JWP-Lavia

S. Armstrong        Edozie

                Adams

if I recall correctly,  after that Palace shitshow we didn’t lose a game for the rest of the season. The starting point being putting Bertie into left side of a back 3 - funny really.

The best back threes have a full back in there - it's something we're lacking at the moment

Agreed, gives flexibility to the defence. Chelsea did it brilliantly the season they won the league with Moses and Alonso at wing back. Both fairly limited technically but were constant energy and movement into the right places. Then with Azpiliceuta at right centre back they could move to a back 4 if needed, or Matic would drop in. 

Don't think we have the players for it at the moment, KWP is too small, and Perraud doesn't seem defensively sound enough

Wonder if Salisu is seen as that guy, he played left back against Fulham until Perraud came on and we went back to a back 5. Jones has spoken about having more height so might make sense.

Swap Adams out for a decent new signing at CF, and that side has to be good enough on paper to stay up, surely?

Was Perraud dropped due to injury or (as I got the impression) because NJ was not happy with is display against Brighton?

Yeah think he was dropped due to performance. Probably also because of shape. Think KWP played there instead. 

Edited 4 January, 2023 by Saint Garrett

[aintforever]

I would go for:

 ---------------- Bazunu ----------------

KWP ----- ABK ----- Salisu ----- Perraud

 ----------- JWP ----- Lavia -------------

Mo Ely ----- S. Armstrong ----- Edozie

----------------- Adams -----------------

This really is a must win.

From my perch in the ground v Brighton Perraud had burst up the wing got into a bit of scrimmage with Brighton players and, at the time, strangely didn't track back as usual. Uttered to Mrs JBS "oh dear Perraud looks like he is broken" moments later his number goes up in lights on the touchline. 

I figured his omission on Saturday was a continuation of his niggle was, then when he came on I guess he was held back as a precaution with Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday on the horizon and no other left back at his level to call on.

I would go with this lineup although I think Caleta-Car should start as he's a class cb and we need more experience at the back. This is absolutely huge tonight, we need to win this. 2-0 to us Adams and Prowsey to score - COYR

I pay about £40 a year for the convenience of having about 10’000 channels, the latest movies and tv shows, all available to stream in perfect HD through my fire stick on the big TV. I’d take that any day over the weekly stream hunt on my iPad, closing down the hundreds of pop ups every time you touch the screen.

Fair enough. I have my PC connected to my TV. Films and TV via Kodi, football via streams. Using the Brave web browser stops all the pop ups. 

[Midlandsaint]

Really hope Jones plays DCC if he persists with 5 at the back, seems like utter lunacy when he wants a more physical defence to drop our best player in the air defensively. Fulham seemed a minor improvement but tonight is the real 6 pointer

I’ll look into that as a back up. The service I’m on is set up in a way not too dissimilar to sky with a tv guide so there’s no need to find websites etc so I’m happy to pay for that convenience tbf

Kodi is a good back up, is what I use on the firestick. Easy to install with a guide online. Then you just need to install a couple addons (The loop and sportHD for me) and it has all the streams under each fixture. Some are a bit buffery sometimes but plenty to choose from.

He’s in the pre match pictures at the ground, hopefully he’s fit enough 

[Saint Matty 76]

Nervous for 6:30.

The only period of the Fulham game we looked decent was where we were 4atb just after HT, so I truly wonder what he'll do.

This has been said to death on here. If those players are fit and he doesn't pick this 11 and loses, then he deserves whatever flack he gets.

Have you talked to a psychologist recently? It might be a good idea, they can intervene often before it's too late.

Weird line up coming I reckon. Got a feeling we'll get something tonight though 🤞🤞🙏🤞🤞
