If we set up as we did against Liverpool we have a very good chance. I wouldn’t start Smallbone or Dibbling, I’d bring In Aribo and Archer or Paul to give us a bit more up front. 

We need Aribo's commanding presence at centre back, surely?

KWP         ABK       THB     Welington

                 Les    Downes

Dibling       Fernandes    Sulemana

                     Archer

1-1

We'll take the lead, but with time running out and passing Derby's points total within reach, we'll concede a silly goal. Will leave us sweating it for the remaining games

Just win a bloody game. Today is our cup final so we do not become the worst team in premiership history!

 

Blimey, I wouldn't go that far. Will be good to shake the 'Derby' monkey off our back, and I'm a tad (very slightly) more confident if he sticks with 4 at the back, but this ain't no cup final :lol:

Every time I walk out of St Mary's after yet another defeat I'm thinking that I'll be giving the next one a swerve, but here I go again today...it's just what we do.

I'll be there with my half and half scarf: half "Martin out", half "Juric out", half "Sports Republic out", half "Rasmus Ankersen out".

I think we'll be in for a mind-boggling draw but because both teams are crap in attack.

 

0 - 0.

Today it could be Saints and the equally dismal Welsh rugby side causing big upsets and getting against the odds wins. Saints to avoid Derby’s record, the Welsh to dodge the Six Nations wooden spoon and 15 straight defeats.

Most winnable game we have left,especially with Cunha out, still think we will lose 2 - 1 .  [ Leicester away on paper is winnable,but we are normally awful against them ]

Wolves are seriously crap and with their talisman out and with Smallbone out, we should win - as long as we play 4 at the back. Hopefully Juric learned that lesson from Liverpool.

2-1 Saints

You'd get good odds on that double! 

I'm still angry since Wolves away where we had a perfectly good goal disallowed,  then they scored after two clear fouls on our players, that game knocked a lot of hope out of the club I think

It did because they were right at the bottom of the league at the time.

There's something about Wolves. I was also there two years previous when Che managed to handball two inches off the line. That stopped our reasonable start to the season and after Wolves, we went in to freefall.

Hello friends, I hope you're well.

I wish you a good match and I hope you'll see things a bit better on the pitch.

I'm thinking of you and I'll be watching the Valenciennes game.

COYS !

I'm weirdly optimistic about this game. 

There might be a pitch invasion if we avoid beating Derby's record at home.

I'd be all up for seeing a pitch invasion just to make a real mockery of how shit we are.

Myinteresting”( to me anyway) bet of the day is to buy total penalty minutes with spreaderx. Currently at 9-12. After the two we conceded other day plus the ones Ive seen at SMS I reckon there may be at least one in this game. I’m on it anyway., And I feel it’s our turn to be awarded one- and score!, at least. 
ps both teams to score is also favoured by me. 
pps. Do not gamble it’s unwise. Usually you lose ultimately you WILL lose your money. Only gamble ( if you really insist on being an idiot) what you can afford to lose. If it’s for your entertainment ensure you keep to your budget.

Looking forward to this.  Well, I say looking forward but that's more to do with a bacon roll and a few pints before the game.  I've got zero expectation of us getting anything and I'm not sure I really want us to anyway.  With a very few exceptions all these players should have that badge of shame that comes with being part of the worst team in premier league history.  They've earnt it.  Conversely, supporters get a medal of honour after this turgid season - if we're ever remotely successful again and the oppo fans start chanting "Where were you when you were shit?" then we can all wave our 24-25 digital season tickets in their faces.

533? Ffs. When will we get a manager who picks his best team,  consistent spine of the team, playing best players in their best positions.

Stick with the formation that gave the top team in the PL a run for their money for the first 50 minutes of the last game...? Nah, don't be silly, change it back to what wasn't working in the slightest mate.... 🤦‍♂️

I think despite us being shite our best team is quite easy to pick. How neither manager this season has been able to get our best side out in a sensible formation is absolutely ridiculous.

My decision to stay at home fully justified with that selection. No striker at home to Wolves? Give me strength.

Having said that I hope I miss a cracker and we roll them over 3-0 😜

Back to our so successful 3 at the back routine. .Manning must be the third CB.

Carnage

has he played there before, i cant remember?

why not stick with four at the back? why did he change it last week? not sure why i'm asking. the whole season makes no sense to me.

When you’ve won two games all season and have 9 points, the logical solution is to play with no striker.

oh super. maybe we should just play him left back, where he looks most comfortable. just an idea.

Home against one of the weakest teams in the league, no Cf/striker, and three attacking midfielders. Seven defensive players. Anybody that bought a ST needs to have a word with trading standards.

In fairness he's tried everyone else.

Last weeks formation was ok. ABK played most of the game. Jyst replace Will with Downes. Or is that too simple

A fool's hope.
Hope that Juric would stick with a back four and pick the best team - not surprisingly quashed by team news...
Hope that we can be competitive and maybe get a result - slowly peetering out over the next hour or two...

This is going to hurt.
