I’m now convinced that if we ever get a penalty we’ll pass it back to Macca to be safe
On a more positve not. Cyrille Regis life is to be celebrated on Saturday.
WBA have asked any Saints fans going to raise their scarves in tribute to him. Sounds like a nice idea for any of you fortunate (or not) to be going!
Team I would play:-
McCarthy
Cedric Stephens Hoedt Bertrand
PEH Lemina
JWP Boufal Tadic
Carrillo
Another fan drops the must play 442 mantra
Doubt he will start Carrillo after that Echo interview about him needing time to adapt to our (lack of) style & movement
Debate.
It is a must win. But equally a mustn’t lose.
You are the boss.
Do you play both Boufal AND Tadic?
Decide.
Where does Tadic play best, on the left? Play him there, Beefs through the middle as second striker and Carillo up front.
If Carillo makes no impact bring Schlong on as an impact sub to cahse the defence down in the last 20.
Easy this football manager job isn’t it
Some one needs to show Southampton the way to Carillo not the Southampton way to Carillo
The last time I was in the sheep pen which doubles as the area under the away end, it was 2005 and we were in the bottom three. WBA were in awful form, it was February again and we needed a win. Saints battered them but missed a ton of chances and it finished 0-0.
We know how that season turned out, so I am staying well away this year. It has to be different tomorrow.
A must win but I doubt we’ll start with two up top. I fear he’ll persist with a lonesome Long.
What I think he’ll play:
MC Car Thief
see saws stehen jacks hoot bert rand
jwp oreo oi! berg interesting steve susan
shlong
What I’d play:
MC car thief
see saws stephen jacks Yo! shida bert rand
jwp lemons Oi! berg susan
schong guido
Yeah, I could live with that @goatboy
Let’s hope we don’t take the lead early and then park the bus for 75mins
I’m going for 1:2 to us (with Saints having 15 shots on target to WBA’s one shot.)
C’mon lads and lasses, it’s match day and I, for one, am excited.
Got a feeling in my water (but it might be dysentery !)
COME ON YOU REDS
There’s no way Cobs that we will score 2 if we only have 15 shots on target.
Gotta tell ya, it’s fookin freezing here.
COYR
Hojberg dropped
WBA 1 - SAINTS 2 is my punt
Yup, the guy is bizarre. Closer to the team that should have played against Brighton though.
Shame Hoibjerg dropped but that’s a decent and attacking looking team. Maybe he got confused and thought we were playing Brighton at home today?
Fair point @saint-cd
Nice and toasty here. Mrs C_S has the central heating turned up to the max doing her bit for global warming…
s’what happens when you are only wearing a small table cloth
I was there to with Mrs AG… we live din Oxfordshire then so went to all aways in the midlands as well as all home games… those were the DINKY days…
