No better way to counteract our constantly overrun midfield from last weekend than by somehow making it less defensive.

Expand  

Don’t disagree, but not sure we have any other options until we get players in and Smallbone is back.

Charles is certainly a prospect but at his age and with his limited experience do we think he's going to be more effective than Plymouth's midfielders? I'm not sure and he is our only real defensive cover in the middle. That is the area that worries me today. Hope it turns out different.

Expand  

I get that he's young but he's one of the most expensive signings made in the Championship so fat this summer so hopefully he can show why. 

[Hodgey]

That bench is pretty shocking. Needs to be much stronger to navigate a 50 game season

[musesaint]

Worrying that we are already suffering from early season injuries on just the third game in. 

[Convict Colony]

That midfield looks weaker than my jokes 

[musesaint]

High scoring game coming up. We’ll probably let a bucket load in but hopefully will score plenty up the other end.

I take it that you've been down to Ladbrokes and put all of your worldly goods on a Plymouth win?

Expand  

Not my worldly goods as that would be a tad overdramatic, but yes I’m confident enough in saints letting us down that I’ve spread some bets around with the idea Plymouth will win today. The odds are favourable to do so as the bookies do not share my view either.  If I’m not right and lose some money then I’m probably celebrating a win.

Gone for Plymouth to win and both teams to score

Denmark kit and Back to Nichols 4-2-4, exciting times.

We won’t have a 50 game season.

Where is Alcatraz?

Yep! No Hurlock or Case in that midfield though. I'm predicting a 4-2 win.

Nah I agree, awful timing with Downes’ food poisoning.

Off the coast from San Francisco. 

Or possibly in Newcastle...

[Nolan]

Martin said on Wednesday that Stu Armstrong wasn't fit enough for 90 yet.

Going to be an interesting lineup when we get to 70 minutes.

Picked up an injury at the open day training session in the week.

Where is Alcarez ?

Long way back from Cicinati, plus jet lag

We're equally hilarious Del. Like a modern day Morecambe and Wise. 

[Saint NL]

Sounds like a good atmosphere, perfect conditions and should be plenty of goals today.

Puts a hell of a lot of responsibility on young Charles. I think Manning will probably step in there a lot in open to create a 3, and be the one to move into the middle when Stu tires with Perraud coming in at LB. 

[OttawaSaint]

COYS!

[Miltonaggro]

Come on Saints, support in good voice, set about the Janners! 

[Suhari]

G'afternoon.

Attacking line up that is. Looking forward to this.

COYRs!!

5 experienced players, a keeper, and 3 kids. Could be worse. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mmm, no Alcarez…sold on Monday?

[sfcuk fan]

Any streams today please  ?

Nervy looking start by Saints.

Lumley ahead of McCarthy on the bench or is the latter injured? 

Expand  

Nope, Lumley preferred. Hopefully the lump is off to warm a bench somewhere.

Pissing about at the back... 

[Suhari]

High risk at the back.

 

[Saint NL]

Keep it together saints.

Bazunu needs to punt it and not piss around with it 

[OttawaSaint]

FFS, gave it straight to them from fannying about.

[Dr Who?]

Let’s not play out from the back, just get it away from there in anyway possible, don’t care if it is row Z or up the field. Let’s play football up the other end. 

[BotleySaint]

Back foot from the start. Usual self inflicted panic. 

[Miltonaggro]

Stu armstrong looks a yard short so far. Cost us two decent opportunities.

[adrian lord]

Starting to dominate possession

Thank you 🙂

[OttawaSaint]

Last few Saints mangers love a ludicrous tactic.

RM: fannying about at the back

RS: don't ever try to score 

NJ: high balls to midgets 

RH: suicidal high line

Also I would be getting the ball to Tella as often as possible. 

[Miltonaggro]

Looks very like Sheffield Wednesday so far. Saints attempting to pass them to death, Plymouth drilled to harry and saints in possession. Physically saints won’t compete so let’s hope they get knackered.

Free kick in JWP territory.

[Southner]

Free kick. JWP territory. 

[BotleySaint]

We've settled into the game. Free kick JWP terri.. Ah.. 

Edited 19 August, 2023 by BotleySaint

[OttawaSaint]

Why didn't Stu just kick it into the goal from there? Is he stupid?

Edited 19 August, 2023 by OttawaSaint

[Miltonaggro]

Decent free kick from Stuey I thought.
