Match Day Thread Saints v Watford (FA CUP) Sat 27/1/2018 3pm

Yak

 

Win the game.

Doucore own goal.

Doucoure Red card.

 

We can't win this. There are no two letter words I can find for the Brighton game

 

I'll be pissed off if Pellegrino makes changes to the team for this match and sacrifices it, what we need above all right now is continuity and ever improving performances.
Winning games and playing well breeds confidence and a cup run would bring a feel good factor back to the fans. The players can not feel fatigued as they have been changed so often this season, come on Mauricio, you have found your best team, now give it a chance to grow together.

 

Go?

 

I think he should rest one or two to keep them fresh for Brighton, maybe take another couple of after 60 mins or so. Agree a cup run would be a nice bonus for the fans but staying in the prem is crucial.

 

I think that soundly beating Watford with a good performance would be the best tonic that the team could have and a knock on would be that confidence would be high for Brighton...there are 4 days rest between the games.

We need to foster a winning mentality.

 

UP!

 

Thrash Watford by 10 goals to set us up for the Brighton game, then draw Newport County at home after they beat Tottenham.

 

i love a good cup run and this is good opportunity to progress in the competition and score some goals.
Will set us up nicely for Brighton and West Brom game.

 

The ****ing Saints?

 

Nooo Yeovil away after they beat United!

We play Spurs away in the quarters with an allocation of 12.5%.

 

Go.

 

Oh, I was beaten to it.

 

I’d rather play Spurs in the semi as their allocation would be the same as ours for that!

I wouldn’t mind Yeovil away, I might try and get a ticket for that as it’s only 20 miles from me!

 

Hope Watford don't have a new manager bounce....rather have played them under Silva.

 

Yep, unless by Saturday we have new manager bounce [emoji16]

 

For me this is an important game. Win it and we finally get some momentum and confidence (off the back of the spurs game). Lose it and it's yet again back to square one.

Play strongest team and win it.

 

On the contrary, you're on a roll. You'll have to come up with a new strategy - perhaps you could start writing backwards?

 

Use this game to bed in our new players.
