Dark Munster Posted 5 January, 2023 Share Posted 5 January, 2023 11 hours ago, way down south said: Palace always seem to beat us nowadays anyway so might as well not bother following the match in any way shape or form. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Ciervo Posted 6 January, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 6 January, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
