trousers Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) The games keep coming thick and fast... this is our postponed game in hand. Aribo has (re)earned a starting place IMO. Assume Downes, Adams and Bree will be available for selection again too. So, back to our best/strongest starting 11...? (I still think Brooks should be held back as a game-changer impact sub for the time being) Bazunu KWP - THB - Bednarek - Stephens/Bree Aribo - Downes - S.Armstrong A.Armstrong - Adams - Fraser Subs: Lumley, Manning/Stephens/Bree, Smallbone/Charles, Rothwell, Edozie, Brooks, Kamaldeen/Amo-Ameyaw, Mara/Dibbling (With Aribo, Downes, Adams and Bree back, there are going to be several disappointed squad regulars that don't even make the bench for this game!)

Mixedkebab Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thank fuck for the win tonight, looking forward to the next 2 now and having a proper go at home with a few players back so many of the forwards look confident, and ridiculous competition for places. LB is the worry, Stephens did ok but can’t be trusted there for too long, but then neither can Manning sadly and I’d be surprised if Martin sticks Bree straight back in after a long time out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephens gave them too much space on that wing by being too narrow in the first half, but was much improved in the second and defensively much better than Manning has ever been. I wouldn't be rushing Bree back into the team just yet after a long injury layoff. There's stiltons of games left and wheel need to reintegrate him more caerphilly. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis17 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) I’d like to see Mara start at home after a decent performance last night. Bazunu KWP THB Bednarek Stephens Smallbone Downes Stu Armstrong Mara Fraser Subs: Lumley, Bree, Manning/Charles, Rothwell, Aribo, Brooks, Edozie, Sulemana, Adams What a ridiculous squad we have.

He maybe didn't hold the ball up as well as some would like, but he showed some good movement and touches, and was involved in a lot of our good attacking play during that first 30 mins. I'd be inclined to stick with him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bulldoze moment in the second half just proved that the referee just didn't care about all the heavy contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) 4 of our next 6 at home where we look invincible. Hull are a decent team with a good manager though so won’t be easy.

Pamplemousse Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) 4 out of our next 5 league games are at home and the away game is Birmingham. We should be targetting 15 points from those 5. Having said that, Hull are a decent team but we've blown away better teams than them this season at St Mary's and having got the defeat out of our system I back us to go on another decent winning run.

sfc4prem Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 We're back on the tracks now, ladies and gents. It's time to settle back, crack open a cold one and enjoy the fucking ride. Ice-cold brilliance is flowing through the players' veins now. 3-0 Saints. Easy as you like. Back up into second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I think our best side currently is: Baz KWP, THB, Bednarek, Manning Aribo, Downes, Armstrong (S] Brooks, Armstrong (A), Fraser As others have said, this is getting increasingly difficult as Manning gives us more balance going forward but is suspect defensively, Smallbone v Aribo is a marginal call, and I prefer Adam Armstrong to be down the right but can’t bring myself to not start Brooks or Fraser. Nice problems to have. So you end up with an insanely good bench (for the championship) that includes Stephens, Smallbone, Rothwell, Adams, Kamaldeen, Edozie and others.

goodymatt Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This is a huge game, feels like a ‘must win’. Ipswich will win at home to Rotherham, so will join Leeds on 69 points. We need to kick on and take second place back under control. This is a tough game against a talented footballing side. They have a few players that can hurt us but if we play well we should have enough to get the job done. I’m a little nervous despite the 11 home wins on the bounce.

JRM Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It was certainly a hard game up there earlier in the season, hopefully they had a tough game at Huddersfield today and won't fancy a trip down south on Tuesday. Going to be a smaller crowd by this seasons standards, few hundred away fans, block 43 now open for home fans but plenty availability all around the ground.
