Norwich 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Wade Garrett]

Don’t like KWP playing as a winger.  Upsets the balance of the side.  Also a bit concerned about Stephens up against Rowe.

Is there a reason we’re trying to shoehorn Stephens in?

I mean we’re playing well enough as it is, why change things??

I wonder if there's already firm interest for KWP from other clubs so RM is bedding in his replacement.

[Totton Saint]

Why no KWP even as a sub?

[gio1saints]

Looks like a team picked to weather an early storm and then come good late. I’m  thinking it’s going to be a 433 like when we played them earlier this season. 
Albeit different personnel. 
Thus time we have plus Flynn and plus THB and plus Aribo on form plus keeping Che if we need a 97 minute goal!
 Objectively  we are stronger in personnel than last time and stronger in playing PB football than last time. Whether that counts…let’s see COYS! 

[Harry_SFC]

Just not a fan of Stephens at RB and KWP further forward. It's just to shoehorn him into the side. I don't think he's good enough for that to be the case.

I think this is exactly what is happening. Stephens or Bree will play full back and we’ll bring in a right sided midfield player to replace KWP

Don’t agree with this Stephens at Full back bollox.

KWP is more of a threat for us at Full back and Stephens is not as good a RB as KWP.

Why Russ ?

Possibly three at the back, KWP and Manning further forward ?

Not sure on that myself but a possibility perhaps.

Agree, it has t worked yet, in fact quite the opposite…. Odd

Blokes obsessed with Stephens and Manning.

Duly noted to re-quote these posts after Jack's upcoming MotM performance...

By all means 🤣

[RedArmy]

Downes = 3 points

[suewhistle]

Bree not even on the bench so assumed injured which might help explain Stephens.

So now the question is do I splash out £10 on Saintsplayer or try and find a dodgy stream..

0-7 or a mad 3-4.

[Toadhall Saint]

Not a fan of square pegs in round holes but hey what do I know? I’m sure RM will have good reason and not just come up with it a the last minute.

Go for Saintsplayer, go mad treat yourself 

[Bad Wolf]

Guessing Holgate has been recalled then.

He's played in the last 4 matches, we've won all of them. Started against Swansea, we won 5-0. Not sure he is being shoe-horned in today.

Bree went off injured against QPR (hamstring), Martin said he needs a second scan and won't be involved over the festive season series of games. Stephens came in (started) against Swansea and altogether has played in the last 4 games (all wins), not sure why people are suddenly getting excited about him being in the team today.

Having seen that line up, I'm super confident. 1-0 by half time. 4-0 by full time. 68% possession. Easy.

[Chez]

Subs bench looks light on defenders. Something we may need to address in the window.

At least it may only start 10-15mins after kick off

Wonder if Norwich will try to exploit that by nobbling one of ours or trying to get someone sent off? Probably don’t need to resort to that kind of shithousery - they’re good enough to get a result, but listening to the commentators it seems there might be a lack of discipline in their side.

Was just thinking exactly the same.

Where's Holgate? Has he returned to Everton already?

Who else do we have?

[tdmickey3]

No repeat of the sloppy and complacency of the latter stages against Plymouth

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Not on Sky?

I guess Charles is the cover today. In general, Bree, Larios both injured and maybe Simeu and Abu could step up from the u21s to be on the bench.

KWP getting plenty of license to roam.

[Saint_clark]

Looking like three at the back to me. 

[Saint_clark]

Manning piss poor down the left already.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

They look to have 1 up front, keeping it compact at least early on.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Manning looking his customary shit self.
