Mr X Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I think we will get a positive result tonight but really can't see it leading to any kind of unbeaten run for automatic it's playing offs realistically. We really do have to gamble on going up this season as we certainly won't get another better chance! the squad will be considerably weaker next season! KWP and the better loan players will certainly be on their way to the premier league. Also we will be stuck playing a style under Martin that isn't a good fit for championship promotion (too easy to counteract and a style that ships goals) assuming he isn't off for Brighton by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Well at least McCarthy has some history of being a decent keeper, but he looked just as shite at the back end of last season Terrible with his feet also, so fuck knows how that's going to look tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 1 minute ago, Saint Scott said: McCarthy not even named in the squad but replaces Baz over Lumley. Work that one out... I’m guessing some sort of appearance related clause for McC, whereby we’d use Lumley as an emergency sub if needed but would prefer Alex if forced to start one of them. Either way it’s a blow so soon before kick off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should definitely rest Downes today so that he is fully fit for all the remaining games - We will then need to win all of those because of the fact we lost this game due to leaving Flynn Downes on the bench.

Disco Stu Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 A few heart in mouth moments when the ball's at McCarthy's feet I reckon. Still, I trust him more as a shot stopper I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintstowin Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It will be interesting to see our approach with the strength of the GK being very different. I expect we haven't practised much passing with AM.

No way can Saints do the tippy-tappy heart-in-the-mouth suicide stuff with McCarthy as 'keeper. You’d think so..but Martin is very stubborn. Or brave as he would call it. Chance for Alex to have a solid night and go on to finish his Saints career on a high playing to his strengths of saving and claiming balls which Baz is hopeless at. Worse with his feet but be clear with the back 4 that it needs to go more direct and forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
