Harry_SFC Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I'd stick Stewart up top for 60 mins. Simply cannot start Mara in such an important game. And we know AA is useless upfront. Edited May 10 by Harry_SFC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I’m not Adams’ biggest fan but he played an important role in the way we played against Leeds so it will be a big blow if he’s out. Fucking typical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 If we play the same shape as against Leeds then we could go with Sulemana instead of Adams and bring Stewart on later. Means Armstrong needs to provide the link role but it could work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulemenas effort off the ball is appalling. I consciously watched him after he came on against Leeds and his pressing was so poor. Mara no better either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Martin confirmed in his pre match presser (part 2) that we have been practicing penalties for quite some time now and will continue to do so. Just to put that earlier argument to bed. Also took the team and management out for a meal after Warnock recommended it on Sky. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If Che isn’t starting it’s a huge blow. Ross isn’t ready to start and the alternatives are not good enough. Guess we will find out tomorrow but if he’s not been in full training then it seems very likely he’s not in the squad at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the Premier League is some mythical promised land for us that we haven't experienced since the 70s - it's understandable for fans that have properly suffered in the lower leagues for a long, long time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 The league One and Two play offs both providing a good example of how irrelevant the final league placings are when it comes to knock out football. MK Dons highest ranked league two losing 7-1 on aggregate to Crawley. 2nd ranked Doncaster also going out. Peterborough being 2nd ranked in league one also going out. Hopefully we buck the trend now.

Basically that's no one thinking it is going to be easy. But we finish 12 points ahead, and we've beaten them twice this season. So objectively we are better. It's perfectly realistic to think we can win this leg. That's not the same as writing it off as "easy". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, its going to be far more difficult than some seem to believe. To be honest if we lose by only one goal its not a disaster. Two or more probably is however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 It's helps for me to reduce the tension by reminding myself that I don't really like the EPL anyway, what with all that VAR, relegation struggles and stuff.

Anyone know whether Saints Player is covering the game. I find myself in Gubbio, and unsurprisingly there’s not much local interest in our game. Have walked from Florence….. if the players work as hard as I’ve had to, we should be a step closer to Wembley. yers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
