Then check the result next morning, while crossing your fingers that it won't be another 9 nil loss. That's what I'm doing nyway. I'd happily take that if it's what it takes for the muppets in charge to get rid of Nathan Wigley.
St. Ciervo Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 It's nearing that time of the week where I think to myself, "They can't surely be that bad. Jones just needs a bit more time." Luckily, I have everyone in this forum to reassure me that they are, in fact, that tragic. 1 4
Miltonaggro Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 (edited) Will likely be more of the same under Nat, this time 2-0 or 3-0 to Palace. A great shame to throw away a potentially winnable third round tie - under normal circumstances. Edited 6 January, 2023 by Miltonaggro

And this is the new manager bounce, how bad are we going to be when that wears off? I don't know, Everton have their own issues, the pressure will be on up there. We have been much better away from home and the SAints fans that are there will give a more positive support than the SMS crowd.

coalman Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 Our best hope is a resounding Everton win to keep Lampard in a job and accelerate Jones' exit.

Cabrone Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 The cup should be a decent opportunity to regain some form but I just can't see it from this team. I suspect Palace will win comfortably.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 Honestly, I expect us to play really well tomorrow and against City, and then revert back to type against Everton 1
JRM Posted 6 January, 2023 Author Posted 6 January, 2023 Might get an idea of which youngsters will feature once we've seen the B team line up for their game tonight.
Saint Garrett Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 Is there not a presser for this? Doesnt seem to have been one since Jones took over that I can see.

Was covered after the game the other night, there is a video of it on YT. Seems they have done a lot of these over xmas, I guess it makes sense logistically as everyone is already there, but it does make it hard to know exactly when some of the quotes you see are taken from and also high emotions from the game thats just happened. Difficult to know how to apprpach this game. Realistically given schedule, injuries and our league position we should be resting KWP, JWP and Adams but also Jones knows he so badly needs a win so will probably play them. Another reason it would have been handy to have a couple of new lads in. Surely it was feasible to have signed Orsic on Jan 1st? He could have played both of these Jan games.

You can’t fault my delusional blind optimism! I’m going, so I’ll be sure to let them know not to make me look foolish, that should do it Apart from my delusion, my point was if Lampard is still there it could be every bit as toxic for them as it was at sms on Wednesday Edited 6 January, 2023 by Toussaint

My hope is we get a good rogering in both cups games, forcing the board to finally get rid of the Welsh Wigley before the trip to Goodison, and then get a new manager bounce win against Everton.

Mr Brightside Posted 6 January, 2023 Posted 6 January, 2023 Assume they won't sell tickets on the day for this? (Looks like my lads game may be off in the morning).

Payne, Ballard and Jimmy J all played. I know there was some frustration from the youngsters at not getting some minutes for the first team under Ralph. I guess with the pressure on it was highly unlikely than NJ would play any of them.

So far Jones has had a youngster on the bench a couple of times, maybe it will be Dibling's turn tomorrow. Doyle played today as well so that rules him out. Is there likely to be a stream tomorrow does anyone know? 1

I guess with Bazunu (20), Lavia (19), Mara (20), Larios (18), Livramento (20) and Bella-Kotchap (21) all getting plenty of games, it' not as though we aren't giving youngsters a chance, but it will be nice to see a `home grown' player get a chance soon. Ballard and Jimmy J have been absolutely flying. I thought one of them would make the bench again this weekend. 1

Pamplemousse Posted 7 January, 2023 Posted 7 January, 2023 I want us to win but I am intrigued to see the reaction of the fans if we get heavily beaten

Some people are under the impression we're going down no matter whose in charge now and I can't see SR sacking NJ through pride, so no point wishing losses on the team. Do we know if Orsic can play today? 2

We all know when you’re struggling for form a game against saints is exactly what you want. Any striker that hasn’t scored for a bit is guaranteed a goal, any team guaranteed a win. We will lose, it will be awful, doubt we’ll score. Two or three nil loss 1

Saint Garrett Posted 7 January, 2023 Posted 7 January, 2023 I’m hoping another spanking today will be the end for Jones. I’d take that in this game rather than the Everton one…allows us to bring someone else in for that one.

trousers Posted 7 January, 2023 Posted 7 January, 2023 I've just realised we kick-off at 12:30pm, along with 5 other games. Why so many early games? Edit: something to do with train strikes maybe?
