TBH they could walk here, arrive twenty minutes before kick off and still beat us 3-0.

To be really honest they could probably arrive 20 minutes AFTER kick off and still win.

Do they have any key players with injuries? 🙂

The cynic in me says that Ramsdale and Sulemana are a pair of sick notes just like Downes.

The cynic in me says that Sulemana has done enough on the last few games to put himself in the shop window to get his move - not bothered about the club one bit, and doesn’t want to risk himself any further.

 I may be way off the mark here, but Downes and Ramsdale have only just come back from fairly routine injuries (dead leg, broken finger) that took far too long to get over.  

Both have been disappointing this season.

 

Motivating and keeping players interested when you know you're down by New Year was always going to be a challenge. Maybe they are genuinely injured but I doubt anyone would rush back. No doubt someone will bang on about them being professional at all times blah blah; but they're human beings and the situation is so shit it's bound to reduce motivation for some if not all the players. In terms of a result, given injuries probably means AA starting 3-1 to Newcastle.

That tickled me. Reminds me of when they bought an entirely new squad due to COVID after the pandemic, and delayed the game a month.

Lets hope some of our players do too.

Super excited with this one, we're finally clicking, I reckon this is the game we finally see everything come together and we crush them

Maybe our best chance of 3 points for the rest of the season - 

 

If their plane can't make it and they don't show up!

Triffic.

Fraser was on the bench, so is next in line. At least you know he will put a shift in.

I noticed Archer wasn't on the bench in the Forest game and we had two CBs on the bench, so is he injured? I guess if we played two up front in a 4-4-2 (which we won't) we'd still need a right midfielder, which we don't have. Maybe Sugaware/KWP or Armstrong doing what he does best and that's work up and down the pitch rather than score goals.

Tbh even if he watched the game it's an easy mistake to make. Archer and Armstrong have been two totally non existent players whilst on the pitch.

I remember they also had trouble during the petrol strikes when Hoddle was manager with a very tasty side managed by Robson. Lost 2-0 and Saints could’ve won by more. The Archers were singing ‘What a waste of Petrol’

Ah yes my mistake. Despite the shitshow, I thought he held the ball up quite well in the first half.

By the way, don't let anyone say you don't bring something special to this forum. 10 posts so far and there have been some gems. Can I suggest you spend less time watching the games and more time developing your posting skills, cos the the moment, you might not be presenting your very best self.

I'd forgotten about that one, always seemed to do well against them in that era 👍🏻

A 3 or 4 goal pasting, I am sure we will get the backlash for their no show against Bompey last week.  As much as I dislike Bompey,they have been magnificent this season.
