Guest Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Hoping for: Four at the back, Manning on the left, KWP on the right, extra attacking player up top. Strong performance. Reality: Five at the back, probably three RB’s, no striker, little attacking intent apart from a sporadic counter attack. Forest dominating and scoring at least three. “Plucky” Saints unfortunate again.
CylonKing Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) Live just over an hour's walk from the ground. To get there I have to walk along Southampton St and go past St Mary's gardens, surely good omens for today...2-0 Forest! 😁 Edited January 19 by CylonKing 1

As did the attacking set up. Hoping we can build on the good stuff from last time out. Not really expecting any kind of result, but some continued effort, organisation, pride and attacking intent will be a nice thing. 2

saintant Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Anyone know if Dibling is going to be fit for this one? Hoping he is as the front three with him, Fernandes and Sulemana worked pretty well against Man Utd.

Expand My hunch is that it'll be a tough call, assuming he picked up 'just a knock' rather than something more serious. As a still-developing teenager, there's a danger that we 'run him into the ground' in these 2-games-per-week scenarios, but given how much we have now come to rely upon him, resting him is almost tantamount to starting with 10 players, given we don't have anyone who can adequately replace what he brings to the table. #bitofaconundrum Edited January 19 by trousers
obelisk Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I'm hoping that our attackers have been getting some shooting practice. Just a bit more composure with the finishing on Thursday would have seen Saints walk away with 3 points, not for the first time either.

Harry_SFC Posted January 19 Posted January 19 How can anyone have seen KWPs performance on the left against Diallo and put him there again a few days later? Especially a premier league manager.
Harry_SFC Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Also another game where we have to watch Adam Armstrong try and play football. So tiring. 1 2
Convict Colony Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I think people forget KWP saved a couple of goal attempts by tracking Diallo a lot into the box. I thought he did ok the other night, got unlucky with the richocet for the first and 2nd was just equiste play 2
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Sule's first good game for us rewarded with being on the bench - but Archer in so I'm happy. I predict Archer will be key to us next year.

OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Although looked again and he's joined by Armstrong. FFS. Why oh why?
Lighthouse Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 I like that yellow kit, shame we’ve lost every single league game we’ve played in it. Glad to see Archer back, TP seems to have fallen out of favour somewhat. 1
tdmickey3 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Bloody Armstrong, utter waste of a shirt. It might get worse, he might bring on someone even more pointless in Smallbone
beatlesaint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 To be honest I’m past getting wound up by who’s in and who’s out now given it seems to make very little difference in any particular game and it’ll make no difference whatsoever in the season, we are down and we are finishing bottom. 3 1
washsaint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 What a monumentally crap squad we have. That is absolute garbage

With Dibbers injured, this doesn't look much of an attacking threat at all.
Totton Saint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Selection does seem a little bit illogical. Any streams please folks
macca155 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Both Sulemana and Ugochukwa losing their places seems a little harsh. Aribo didn't play badly the other night but big Les was a physical threat and we have precious little of that. I'm guessing Sulemana can't play 90, so he'll be on around the 60 minute. Maybe Ivan wants to keep something back on the bench, to avoid a Thursday type capitulation. Guess we'll see. 4

ButtikonSaint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 A bit surprised that Sulemana doesn't start after what he showed in the past 2 games, bit of tiredness maybe? Guess Juric didn't fancy playing Archer or Sulemana on the right to replace Dibling. Rest of the team seems about right.
CB Fry Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Armstrong and Archer in the same team seems pointless to me. And I would have played three actual centre backs (ie Wood) as we have their Wood to deal with. That said, worrying about our first eleven feels academic. We can't beat this opposition I'm sorry to say. Prove me wrong ladsssssss
