S-Clarke Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 They tore Sunderland to threads in the last game, not really sure what to expect. We should beat them if we're honest, I'd put them on par with a Stoke or a Swansea style team in terms of quality. We need some wins back to back to just get some momentum, getting an away win and going into 3 home games is a good opportunity to do just that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we've sold about 2300 , not bad really , 2100 in half the lower tier and couple of hundred in upper tier above, it was one of the grounds we'd take very few to in the 90s, I'll always associate Ewood Park with this goal, classic Saints score goal of the season and still manage to lose 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die Mannyschaft Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Went up there in 1984 cup game Blackburn 0-1 Saints, D Armstrong. Great away day. Rest of games this season will be draws. Too negative, yes we can score here and there but late goals, mistakes, stupid back passes. Injuries and low energy football provide opportunity for opposition. The one thing in Saints favour is a lot of teams that have won play off final or get there are the worst or weakest, seen as easiest to beat of the 3rd to 6th place teams.

Shocker in what sense? We certainly didn't play badly or get blown away, far from it. We were miles better than Ipswich and that's my main frustration, we beat ourselves rather than Ipswich tonking us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Our form has been pretty poor of late w5 d1 l4 last 10 games. Over a 46 game season 73 points so might just about have made play offs. Right at the time when we should be kicking on with everyone fully onboard with Russball it all seems to have fallen off a cliff. Blackburn need a win so will be well up for it. Expect the usual script lots of the ball, concede a soft goal well score probably be a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score, dominate, fail to take chances, let in sloppy late goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 We should be planning for the play offs now so a chance to try out some of the youngsters and give Lumley a try in goal. The results of individual games are no longer as important and our focus should be on getting ready for 2 huge matches leading hopefully to a massive final. The play off games may need some tactical tweaks rather than carrying on as we are which clearly risks us throwing away good positions through lack of in-game management. Time for RM to admit the flaws in his one system game plan and introduce some alternatives - he could learn a lot from the Ipswich manager who managed to turn a likely defeat into a stunning victory by changing things. I won't hold my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely these two are incompatible, unless you are planning to play teenagers and a failed QPR/Boro goalkeeper who is now winding down his career in the biggest games of our season. The main focus has to be to settle the defence down, find the right mix up top and get some confidence back into the guys who have declined of late.

So you are assuming none of our youngsters would rise to the occasion? I've seen bags of promise in Sam Amo-Ameyaw who is nearly 18 now and only one year younger than Kobbie Mainoo who is playing for Man Utd and England. If they're good enough they're old enough. As to the goalkeeper you talk as though Baz is miles better than Lumley - not from what I've seen so why not give the latter a chance? This is a chance to try out players with nothing riding on results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a chance to try out players with nothing riding on results. That's for pre-season in my opinion. We've got to hit these 8 games as well as we can, see if we can get ourselves on another run to create momentum. I don't see these 8 games as a mini preseason for the playoffs, we've just got to keep going with the best 11 we can. I do believe we have a chance of winning the playoffs if we regain some momentum and we're not going to do that by playing around even more with the 11. These 8 games are still important and there are still things riding on the results - momentum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd that even off the back of that one game, other club's supporters can see what some of ours, and our manager, still can't after almost two years.

Turkish Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It’s a shame Bree is suspended as it’ll mean Walker-Peters will play for sure.

Not even a thought that we won't make the playoffs, we have a 10 gap advantage to 6th, 2 games in hand, a miles better GD and only 8 games to play. It will be confirmed within the next couple of weeks I'd have thought. We will finish stranded in 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
