Having just listened to the press conference part 2, I’m not sure why nobody asked about his fitness. He’s not been in good form since the window shut but usually scores against previous employers/boyhood club. Win today and that point against Preston looks much better. 2-1 Saints is my prediction. I’ll go with 2-1 but I have no idea who the scorers for us will be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca155 Posted 28 October, 2023 Share Posted 28 October, 2023 Never quite got the purpose of pre match press conferences. I guess Sky News needs them. No manager will talk about tactics. No matter who the opposition is they will be called 'dangerous', and injured players will be deemed 'close to a return'. We'll be told nothing. That leaves inane answers to bland questions. If a manager is under pressure they might get s bit 'punchy' but that's it .... booring! Hopefully THB will be back today. Will RM make the brave decision to keep Bree on the left. He should do Bree was one of the brighter moments from Wednesday. Other than that it will be rinse and repeat from previous games. Doesn't matter who is up front, the ball has to get to them quicker. Bet Baz goes up for a corner at the end. Brum will be watching him 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie May Posted 28 October, 2023 Share Posted 28 October, 2023 (edited) I don’t think I have the stomach for Sky’s Rooney love-in. We’ll go in 1-0 up half time before the inevitable second half collapse. 3-1 Brum and Don Goodman can drive home a happy man.

Saint NL Posted 28 October, 2023 Share Posted 28 October, 2023 Push Sulemana wide left, KWP wide right, give them the ball at every opportunity and wait for the magic. Or you know, piss about playing triangles in our own third. Either way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefizzy14 Posted 28 October, 2023 Share Posted 28 October, 2023 Hoping we can get another victory today and cement our place in the top six. I really want a 3-0 win with Adam Armstrong, Sulemana and Fraser to score - COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 28 October, 2023 Share Posted 28 October, 2023 We should give WR his first win of the season. Seems we like to kick start seasons. Saying this we did not give Preston a re-kick start. 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say though - competition for Smallbone is desperately needed - he's a luxury player we can't really afford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 28 October, 2023 Share Posted 28 October, 2023 Start fast with conviction - build momentum and keep them under the cosh. Mix it up a bit and don't be afraid to use long balls in behind to utilise the pace of Sulemana whenever it's on - THB hits a good long ball. Encourage centre backs to surge forward with the ball because they're both capable and this opens up space ahead. Lots of movement into space, between the lines and off the ball, less walking football. Let's show some proper intensity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
