austsaint Posted 23 March, 2023 Share Posted 23 March, 2023 9 hours ago, Saint Fan CaM said: It's not just about the individuals though - it's about how they work together as a pairing, the time they spend together playing in a specific system with specific tactics, the time they spend playing Premiership level games. Then there's the prospect of only having Lyanco on the bench. Hope they're fantastic because there's a very good chance they will be our CB pairing for the remainder of the season and instrumental in keeping us up or not. There's a reason they've not been selected over Bednarek and ABK - why do you think that is? I take your point about continuity, system and tactics. However, I think Selles has erred by re-instating Bednarek, even if he hasn't done badly. Over a long period of time, he (Bednarek) has been part of the problem we've had at CB. There was a good reason he was loaned to Villa, and a reason he hardly featured. On the other hand Salisu has (after a slow start) shown himself to be genuine Prem level - it hasn't helped this season that he has often been asked to play LB and suffered an injury or two, but, over a period of time, he's shown strength, speed, aerial skill and defensive qualities. Salisu and ABK have worked as a pairing and in my mind if they had both been fit and available, would have been the best pairing with two specialist full backs, especially from the point of the Jones "tenure" where the spectre of relegation threat became so alarming. DCC is an odd case - prior to the sending off (was it the Newcastle Cup first leg?) he had showed himself to be a calm, composed, tight marking player, good in the air and with an eye for a pass. His red card looked to be a case of "taking one for the team" - yet, subsequently, he's been out of favour, notwithstanding the reported dust up with Jones - the narrative seems to have marked him down as one of our three best CBs which is how I've rated him, behind ABK and Salisu. A good indicator of the worth of our four CBs (excluding Lyanco) is what they are likely to fetch in a transfer window - I'm fairly confident ABK and Salisu would/will command a lot of interest and attract healthy fees (despite MS' contract situation), DCC more than likely the third most valuable asset to the market and then Bednarek. So, despite Selles having done well since taking over, I believe he has made a mistake in sticking with Bednarek, just as he has made a mistake in maintaining Elyounoussi as a regular starter. For all that, if Selles can mastermind the slim chance of survival he'll be a Club hero and his selections, systems, tactics and pairings will be acclaimed as brave and correct. Let's hope it happens! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it happens! I understand the frustration with Bednarek, however the same could be said for ABK and Salisu - inconsistent performances and that’s likely due partly to the high number of changes to the pairing made. Bednarek has had some unfortunate moments in games, but the fact is he’s an experienced senior international and I think that’s why successive Managers have stuck with him. Selles knows that the best chance he has to get out of the relegation zone is to rely on his most experienced players - hence Walcott coming back into the frame and Ely-no-usey finding himself a regular starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both very good CBs. I think DCC has looked the poorest of the lot this season (the Marseille fans were pleased to see the back of him too) and whilst Salisu looks a good prospect, he is still so raw and makes too many mistakes, doesnt cut out crosses, etc. So I also worry about the prospect of those two together (as a partnership). Bednarek (for all his faults) is definitely the more experienced CB that we've been missing for most of the season, I dont think its a coincidence that we started to keep clean sheets when he returned. Not the best player in the world and we can/will improve in future I'm sure, but right now he gives us the leadership the back line has missed all season. It's a real shame we are going to have to start mixing it up again, as the partnership with Bednarek/ABK was developing by the game, and we were starting to look more solid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re playing WH, their form is dire, they’re in the mix with us, we’re bottom and we’re running out of games. So I’d respectfully argue that this is a 6 point must win game. If we drew our remaining 10games we'd finish on 33 points and be in with a shout of staying up - and certainly in with a shout on the final day. Giving points to direct relegation rivals will only move the required points total upwards. Its still more important not to lose these games (away) than it is to win them. What we have to do is win the home ones - those are our must wins. Beat Palace, Bournemouth, Fulham (the absolute must win home games). That's 32 points. Then get a couple of draws out of west ham, Forrest, Brighton, Arsenal, City, Newcastle, and Liverpool. That would get us to circa 34-35 points and likely stay up. The people saying we have to beat Bournemouth, Forest, West Ham, Palace, Fulham etc. (38points), or even 6 wins (41points) to survive... Eh?!?! I don't see it. Its so tight down there, the teams will take points of each other and its quite unlikely to be that high.

The Left Back Posted 29 March, 2023 Share Posted 29 March, 2023 (edited) I've long since given up predicting how this season will play out. In terms of Saints we are better away than at home. We are better against better teams. We've had about 10 'must wins' in a row. We're only 2 points off safety and 4 off 12th. We're the bookies favourites to go down and they're not often wrong. None of the others has more points than us from the last 6 games, and only Wolves and Forest more in the last 10. And that's just us. Palace and Forest are in freefall. Wolves, Leicester and WHU bumbling along. Bournemouth, Leeds and Everton are up and down like a yoyo. Anyone of the nine teams could put a run of three wins in a row together and disappear from the equation, but no one does. There's nine teams trying really hard to get relegated but only three can be successful. If we run this scenario 10 times I reckon we'll be relegated in 7. So who knows? I feel liberated from the fear because we should be buried by now. Selles has given us something to cling on to and I'm grateful for that at least. As for this Sunday, who the fuck knows? Defeat looks pretty terminal. A draw might look ok or it might see the gap grow, but impossible to say as 6 of the bottom 9 play each other. A win and we can all get a little more excited. On thing I would wager. 36/7 points will be enough to stay up this season. 9 teams are averaging less than a point a game. They won't all rectify that from here on.

CB Fry Posted 29 March, 2023 Share Posted 29 March, 2023 44 minutes ago, OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint said: At the start of the season, people were singing Moyes' praises and saying how good West Ham are. Well, the finished 7th and qualified for Europe the season before so why wouldn't people sing their praises? If you want "shit" maybe look at the club that have been bottom pretty much every week since the world cup. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboze Posted 30 March, 2023 Share Posted 30 March, 2023 If we stay up, of course that will be brilliant. but next year will be another spent scratching about hoping for wins, If we go down, next season could be a lot of fun.... what will be, will be 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Nimbus Posted 30 March, 2023 Share Posted 30 March, 2023 My record for predictions so far has been terrible. However I am not confident about this at all. Has a feel of when Forest went there the other week and got tanked. Everything about it makes me pretty certain we will lose, including being the 2:00pm game on Sky with their awful ex-pros. Think I will just watch it on Peacock/USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
