Match Day Thread Swansea v Southampton 31/01/2017 KO 19:45

Shane can be confident of playing as the last striker standing.

 

Was thinking the same thing. See that often on forums, guess some people just read posts and not who posted.

I think even with our injured we can put out a strong side (thinks to the rest at the weekend), the subs may look a little dodgy but the first team should be strong. This is a difficult one to predict as both teams are inconistent so should be exciting. I'm going to go for a hopeful 1-2 to Saints. But could easily go the other way.

 

Our strength today will be in defence. Play as we did against Liverpool....but hopefully put away a couple of chances...and we'll be fine. Need the team to get the same motivation as in that match. Shane should be motivated...with Gabby snapping at his heels for a future place.

 

Have we had any update on Boufal?

 

Possibly a bit more pressure than normal on this game. IF we rested players with this game in mind then, hopefully, they can show that it was worthwhile.

Talking of which I see the under 23's lost yesterday; I blame the Arse game. Should have rested more. Maybe put out the under 12's.

 

He was training yesterday.

Well they did play a totally unknown GK did they not? Yeovil U18's?

 

The Leicester win was huge for us. Hopefully we can build on it. I think it will be 1-1 though. Carroll/Sig/Llorente looked good against Liverpool. We need Romeu on it to cover Sig and Carroll, and Maya and Stephens to marshall Llorente.

 

What, that Gabby who used to be Yorath? Her dad was a decent player

 

Not sure I'd protest if she was snapping at my heals.

 

I did say, "If". So I thought I'd get away with it!

 

Ah was that who it was! I was wondering who the keeper was, and I've heard reports about us signing a Yeovil youth keeper today.

 

I spotted that too... I was pulling your leg, hence the laughing emojis

 

I can see a dour 0-0 or 1 nil either way.

Tough game this. We know ourselves that when you're in a dog fight that midtable teams at home is normally your best chance of 3 points. When said midtable side has a cup final to worry about then even more, probably a must win for them.

For those reasons I won't be too disappointed if we lose tonight. Just no more bloody injuries please!!

 

Oh, for god's sake. Where's our confidence gone?

0-3.

We've had a run of luck to sink a ship; shots not going in, world-class saves by keepers. They'll start going in as much as they should and we'll stuff them. 28/1 on Betfair. You read it here first.

Nah, win 3-1, I want to win that saints top
