looks like Davis, Eli and Gabbi in their way to me

Hopefully Valery and Targett get forward a lot. A part of me is concerned that three CBs, plus Romeu in front, is a touch too negative against Huddersfield. Lowest scorers in the league, without a single league goal amongst their strikers. And not a particularly porous defence either (although not a brilliant one either).
None one player in that Huddersfield team concerns means, they have next to nothing going forward.
I predict an easy Saints win
1-3

Hopefully the fullbacks will be staying forward more. but i imagine the plan is to let them play it around in front of us without success, press them and nick it. similar to against arsenal as both play possession games but hopefully with them not being as good in front of goal!
I’ve think the plan is to fecking smash em
Happily take a hard fought 0-1
Wow, you've changed a lot from the "have we lost yet?" mood of last week.....smoking something different?...
I know it’s early days but I thought JWP would have been right up the Hutts street. Also, with so many defenders on there’s no room for Gabbi. Thought he’d get more of a chance too. But I guess with us being so bad at the back makes sense to try and solidify that a bit first to help get some points on the board. Big game today. Hope the boys are prepared to do a lot of hard work on and off the ball.
I said against Arsenal that I completely understood Long and Austin getting picked on the bench ahead of Gabbi (they offer so much more from the bench than Gabbi). But for Obafemi to also be picked ahead of him here suggests to me that we'll be saying goodbye to Gabbi next month. I just hope it's not on loan - I'm kind of getting fed up with us just loaning players out.
(It's why I was interested with who Ralph has chosen to leave out. If it's right that we need to sell before we buy next month - whether because we need the money, or because we want to cut down on the squad size - that players who aren't getting a look in under Ralph are surely the leading candidates to be sold.)
Don’t get that at all, particularly about JWP. Always been hard-working, which I would have thought would appeal to Ralph.
No I meant that that they seem pretty unassuming and less likely to get upset.
Successive Managers have found it easy to not select them now.
I can’t understand why RH has gone for three attackers on the bench, I would have rather have JWP there to give more cover in the middle
Let's wear them down and score all 4 goals in the second half.
