Lighthouse Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 The bad news is our ‘play like Real Madrid’ strategy might not work against Arsenal, on the last day.

I'm sure there will be quite a few season ticket holders who don't show up, but sales aren't bad for the game overall, about 500 general admission remain on sale , must help being Saturday 3pm in the kids holidays people looking for something to do, hats off to loyal fans sticking with it. I'll be there, will genuinely get behind the team, fuck it let's battle and earn some pride. Beat Derby's record, give us something to cheer. 3

I noticed bus replacements from Eastleigh and Fareham to Southampton Central, pain for anyone coming from North or East. Unusually Skates are also home Saturday so could bump into some of them crossing paths
Charlie Wayman Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Great PC with Simon Rusk. Happy, carefree, transparent and honest, this guy is a breath of fresh air and might surprise us all. 7 wins and the job's his surely? 3-1 to Saints tomorrow?

Unusually Skates are also home Saturday so could bump into some of them crossing paths 1 train per hour ( AFAICS) from Salisbury/ Romsey. So unless SWR have decided to put on unusually long trains they are going to be rammed. edit. SWR tell me on X that the 17.38 is planned to be two carriages. No comment.

gio1saints Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Villa are taking this pre match preparation super professionally😎. They will attempt to dismantle us in the first half to kill off the game ( and crowd) and then they will attempt to just hold us at bay to prepare for the PSG match. The longer we can keep it at 0-0 or tight- the better. They will not want to wear out there best players so there’s a sliver of a chance last fifteen if it’s still close. We can pressurise them. Sadly I think they will be well ahead by then but here’s hoping ! Think our starting line up will reflect the above likely way the game plays out so a solid starting 11 team and then if we are still in it to try to win. With attacking subs. 1
davefizzy14 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I think we can get a result today under Rusk and Lallana - COYR 😊 1 1
ant Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Earlier I put Rusk's press conference on as background noise, but ended up attentively listening to most of it. He speaks well. Certainly seems to 'get it', in terms of the common, obvious discussion points surrounding us. If nothing else it'll be interesting to see whether that translates to the way we play or not. 2
EssEffCee Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Can you get through the concourse from the chapel to the itchen does anyone know.
Lard Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Can’t wait to see a team sheet with the majority of those names not on it soon. 🤷🏻♂️ 4

Football Special Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Villa line up looks strong, 1-4 defeat now I've seen that

LGTL Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Yeah Villa aren’t mucking around with that line-up. Will very likely be another bloodbath. 1

tdmickey3 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Midfield is short again, no slight on Fernandez and ugo but it’s ridiculous 1 - 4 1
trousers Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Out of curiosity, anyone know why Ramsdale doesn't take part in the pre-match warm up?
gio1saints Posted April 12 Posted April 12 (edited) Love seeing Lallana shouting and being a super coach with his whistle in one habd ball under his arm in the other. He is personally training THB in the warm up. I think th.mb should have a word about that hair and thing though. Can’t be good for him. 😁 pS some super reaction saves from our Aaron in warm up. I reckon he’s good for maybe 6-8 saves today at least. pps : gotta laugh in a nice way at lallana. He doesn’t know wether to stretch and kick a ball or a sprint himself, clap the players or whistle/shout at them. He kind of does all of them at same time lol Edited April 12 by gio1saints 2

I'm really fed up with it. We don't have the ability to play that way and not get overrun in midfield. Might have something to do with being 3-0 down after 14 minutes against Spurs, playing four at the back, because our defenders are so sh*t at this level. It seems like all three managers are, perhaps rightly, setting us up primarily to not get spanked.
ant Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Having arrived in an uncharacteristically timely fashion, it's the first time in a long while I've witnessed the shooting drills. Fucking hell. 😂 2
