Match Day Thread Leicester v. Southampton. Thursday 19th April 7:45pm

I deem losing playing **** tbf. I'm not going go mad about the guy talking to friends, but it is just a lil annoying to see.

 

he's just a footballer, not a fan. We all know who it means the most to.

 

Wouldn’t mind seeing a bit of this, on Thursday. Total football.

 

22 retrospective bans? I'd love to see Messi versus that Leeds team!

 

After we beat Leicester on Thursday I’ve already got a few bankers lined up for the Chelsea Cup thread:

Beef: Vardy will have a party with our defence

Thereisonlyoneno7: 9-1 Saints after going one down

Johnthefox: Banker for you guys Thursday

Whitely Saint: We're going to win 2-1.

(totally agree)

Saintmagic: Cedric is terrible at attacking, genuinely one of the worst crossers I've ever seen

San Pelligrino: Feel like we really need Davis on the pitch

 

obviously this relies on Lemina crocking Vardy early on and Cedric crossing a ball that even Davis can't miss!

 

I thought Davis was injured.

 

Still more likely than a decent cross from Cedric!

 

just a technicality when it comes to humourous banter in the face of overwhelming odds

 

there's another one on the list - Cedric is gonna have one hell of a game!

 

in the emptiness of space the discordant clang of the death knells can still be heard rattling deep into the ether of the solar system (on the Chelsea thread). The bells echo with the words "it's the boards fault, It's the players fault, it's the refs fault, it's the managers fault, it's Tactics fault, it's Les's fault, it's Stephen's fault, it's Forster's fault" It must be someone's fault! (but not Tadic's fault)

but guess what? every day the sun comes up and after every game there is another game. COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!!!

 

It’s not likely, but....

Four of the final five are winnable games.

Do that, we stay up. We may not deserve to, our catastrophic bunch of muppets “running” the club certainly don’t. But it can be done.

 

Indeed it can. However the defence is hopeless. We concede 3 goals a game at the moment

 

Guess we'll have to start scoring four a game.

Charlie, calling Charlie.

 

As we build up a head of steam for the upcoming game I refuse to be dragged down by the blithering idiots who are already selling off our players!

 

if we have more points than 3 other teams at the end of the season then we deserve to stay up, and we're going to need to show enough fight to prove that.

 

I truly hope so, yet if we continue playing 3 cbs (prob not for the next 4 games) I would play an actual winger in 352 formation, putting in a decent cross is not Cedrics strength, Simms, Johnson, Tella, McQueen or JWP would all deliver the service.

 

I am slowly weaning myself off football and I must say a big thank you to the players, staff, management and owners of Southampton FC for the way that they have helped me so enormously with this. Thanks guys.

 

Ah, the real Southampton Way!

 

I would like to see Cedric and Prowse switch duties when attacking down that wing. Right now Cedric stays on the outside and Prowse goes inside. That tends to lead to Cedric crossing from further wide which I don't think is his strength and Prowse being more heavily marked so he can't get a cross off at all as he can't create the space.

I'd like Cedric to use his pace more to dribble at them and Prowse to stay on the outside and give him an outlet if he can't make the space. That way Cedric will have taken markers away from Prowse and he will have a better chance to get one of his crosses in or play a 1 -2 with Cedric so he can use his pace to get in behind like he did against arsenal for the goal.

Basically I'd like Cedric to be the one freeing up the space for Prowse to cross rather than Prowse finding space for cedric.

Happy for Prowse to keep getting in the box when we're going down the other side though.
