Are we going to have to deal with those new security searching everybody, unnecessary barriers and big queues at Northam again this game making people miss the start of the game

Fraser Forster to pull off seven world class saves until beaten by an Eric Dier own goal in the 93rd minute. 1-0 Saints. 

Not a fucking chance we get seven shots on target.

Think this should be a walk in the park for Spurs. Probably the easiest game they will have for the rest of the season. Everyone knows it only takes one goal to beat us. Just put 11 bodies out there and it is as good as three points. 0-4.

A 0-0 draw away at 10 men United had everyone expecting 6 points from this week. A narrow defeat (the second was in the 97th minute so i’d count it as narrow) to a very well drilled Brentford team who are flying and people are talking about how they can’t bare watching anymore haha. How do some people get through the day with such highs and lows! No one surely expected us to not lose another game this season, even if we did stay up - i’ve seen that Brentford game 100 times as a Saints fan, even when we were good! Saints at home struggling to break down a tough defensive unit, it’s a tale as old as time itself. Tomorrow is a different game, who knows what’s to come.

Selles, just go gung ho. Play Orsic, play Edozie. Just attack. Forget the “principles”, they don’t work. Fans will forgive if there’s fight, otherwise we face an apathetic Championship season ahead, and I fear even more.

I’ve just listened to RB’s Press Conference. I appreciate he has to toe the line, sound positive and not say anything controversial but if he really believes what he is saying then we may as well call it quits now on the rest of the season.

I guess the back 4 is settled now. Obviously we'd all prefer an in-form Salisu to Bednarek but seems like Selles values something Bednarek brings.

Obviously Lavia and JWP are our best midfielders. 

But we need some goals! In my view Alcaraz has shown he knows where the goal is, and we know Stuart Armstrong can be a very accomplished finisher and can also ping one in from distance. 

We signed Onuacho because he had a good goal record. So we need to get him in the team and give him some chances. Likewise, Adams has shown he can do it, but not when he's the lone forward. 

 

So, putting that all together, I'd be tempted to line up with a midfield and attack like this:

 

-----Lavia----Alcaraz-----

JWP-------Adams-----Stu

-----------Paul-O--------

Let the WPs work down the right and get some crosses in for Paul.

Think we'll get something here. Spurs are incredibly inconsistent this season and won last week so are due a terrible performance away from home. 

Either that or we'll get battered with either a Kane or Son hattrick. Can't remember a narrow defeat to them in recent times.

I think you’re on to something, we played a lot of shitters on wednesday to allow for some okay players who played at united to come back for this one.

Brentford might have been a "narrow defeat", but the performance from Saints was abysmal. This was one of those remaining games we simply had to get 3 points from, building on the OT result, and an opportunity to get out of the bottom 3. But we were insipid, limp, lacklustre, pathetic, ( etc, etc ). We had ZERO goal threat in what should have been viewed as a "Must Win" game.

We may well go on and beat Spurs - we did after all the the double over Chelsea at knocked City out of the cup, but experience from this season in particular suggests another weak and goal shy debacle coupled with shambolic defending.

Out of principal I will never bet money against Saints. But I have captained Kane and transferred in Son in my Fantasy team.  So Saints winning about 8-7 will make my weekend.

The game itself will be bad enough, but  I'm dreading their bloody fans singing 'o when the spurs..' loudly, drowning out our demoralised fans and claiming it's their song.

Bit I'll still be there,  as I will be in the championship,  because i'm a fan and you take the rough with the smooth 

(In fact of course their song historically was always 'glory glory hallelujah ' )

Goals today boys goals and this time i mean scoring in the oppositions net.

It cant be too hard, other teams manage to do it regularly.

Lets try it ourselves and see if we like it huh, would be a nice change.

Tall Paul time - someone in this team who has scored 16 goals already this season.

If we are going to do this crab passing side to side to move up the pitch lets at least have our best goalscorer whose a wookie in there as well, wont have to run as much as well so might make it to 70mins.

Stop fucking around with the ball all sideways and backwards on the halfway line, get some movement going, get the ball in and have some frigging shots.

Let's at least go down with a fight and not a whimper.

I've just listened to Selles's second briefing talking about Elyonoussie. It was a lot of gobbleygook justifying how good he is. I think it's a case of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Everybody can see what he doesn't do, yet Selles talks about him being one of the best most reliable players. Lost Onana for Everton's goal and was too weak. Doesn't tackle just waves a token foot and avoids contact, doesn't assist or score. Selles just looks like an idiot spouting crap. Talking about the "Red" zone. Brentford JWP covering the near post FFS. A midget to stop the flick on, that worked. It needs the best headers to attack the ball and one of them has to cover the near post ball.

Exactly, football is a simple game, which I believe has been overcomplicated in many areas.  Time to go back to basics, simplify the gameplan.  As you say, time to at least have a go, if we lost every game left 4-3 I think I'd be much happier than watching the negative shyte that we are currently playing.

could be a good thing we’re playing spurs today. the system we play seems to be negative against terrible teams, and good against the likes of chelsea and united.

I’d go more direct, Paul to bully dier and get players running off him. We ain’t getting anything trying to out pass them.

I don't think we will risk him, especially with a break coming up.

I reckon AMN will play RB.

It might have been a narrow defeat but it was a long way off from a narrow victory.

I'd bring in Djenepo tbh. At least he'll try to go past people and try to create something.

Absolutley agree . He could do no worse than the rest of them.  And he can score some incredible goals

2-0 to us

finally my prediction will be proved correct
