Saint NL Posted Saturday at 13:01 Share Posted Saturday at 13:01 Who will be in goal today? Lumley with zero confidence after two gaffes last time? Or McCarthy with zero confidence after being dropped after his gaffes? An injured Ramsdale seems the best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An injured Ramsdale seems the best option I'm available, haven't made any goalkeeping gaffes for about 30 years unlike our usual lot. Then again being 70 might put them off picking me 🤣🤣🤣 Edited Saturday at 13:27 by 64saint 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real running required and he'll get plenty of touches of the ball so we get to use his quality. Plus, with his physical presence we'll be able to dominate any crosses that come into our box. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Russ way to do things backwards. I half expect a comical own goal by somebody today. Yes, I don't think the wind will help Russball.

East Kent Saint Posted Saturday at 14:02 Share Posted Saturday at 14:02 In USA at the moment , merseyside derby off so listened to panel chatting about other matches coming up . Ex ManU bloke talking about Saints said “ he may be a dinosaur but playing 5 yard passes to the keeper in your own penalty box is madness which leads to hurried clearance and further pressure “ etc he did say RM will be dammed if he sticks or twists now !

NewYorkSaint Posted Saturday at 14:21 Share Posted Saturday at 14:21 Genuine question. Which would you rather have happen to day? - a tough, battling 2-1 win, with no bad defensive error... and a nice goal that comes from playing Russball style from the back - evidence that seems strong enough for RM to stay in the job for the coming weeks. - a crushing 3-0 loss with at least one goal coming from defensive error at the back, and the final straw for RM so that he's sacked in the morning?

I'm afraid I've just returned from the future and unfortunately we lose this game 3-0 Ironically enough I went down to the then lowly Bournemouth for a pre season game during the Branfoot era and was sat next to Steve Williams who had played a couple of pre season games for the Saints at the time. He was left out of the friendly as he had a 'discussion' with Ian Branfoot who had castigated him for coming short to receive the ball from a Saints goal kick. Branfoot had told him not to do that as there was the chance of losing the ball close to goal and suffering the consequences. Branfoot wanted the ball to be propelled up into the opponents half as quickly as possible and make use of the big target man who provided the main target for the teams offensive play. Bit different nowadays. Perhaps Steve Williams ought to come out of retirement!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
