Match Day Thread Watford v Saints, Tue 23rd March, 7:45pm

Suggestions in press that Valery is but Vestergaard not.

 

Vestergaard will be a big miss against Watford but at least we'll have a proper right back.

 

Will be surprised if we get anything from this. Will struggle against the likes of Doucoure. Rather Start with Armstrong. Watford physicality is JWPs kryptonite

COYR prove me wrong

 

If I had to chose just one, I'd have Yan.

 

Match day and full of trepidation.

 

I had a dream last night. 2-0 Watford.

First from a corner and the second a weak shot that slips through Gunn's hands.

But as I am no Mystic Meg, I am going for a 2-1 loss

 

I pinning all my hopes on a off side handball 91st minute winner.
Justice.

 

A couple of nights ago I dreamt that Nicholas Lyndhurst was starring in a made for TV movie called 'The Steve Wigley Story'. I don't know what that says about my mental state, but I'd pay to see that.

Anyway, head says we'll get nothing, heart says 0-2.

 

Love the preview, Onionman.
I agree that you are owed a dodgy decision or two but, obviously, I hope you don't get any. Much will depend on how our lot cope with the pressure to be best of the rest. We weren't very good against Huddersfield at the weekend but we didn't need to be.

 

we need 1 point to be safe so i woudl expect to see saints play very defensive tonight

 

Are you Pellegrino?

 

I have Delofeu as my fantasy football captain this week so if he could score a few that would be great

 

This is why we were so relieved when Vin did the match thread!

 

Have you failed to notice that we are in fact, **** at defending?

 

Yeah, but we suck at attacking too. We're a well-balanced squad.

 

Have you also noticed how bad our midfield often is?

 

No point in putting out a MF tonight, they'll be by-passed with balls over the top.
Playing football in the land of the giants is going to be a challenge.
I'd tell Oriol to put an FAcup final tackle on one of them early doors. A little reminder.

 

We’ve got a lot better at attacking since Ralph arrived. It’s just the scoring goals bit we still struggle with.

 

After how Rondon dominated (physically) our centre backs in the last game happy that Deeney is still out suspended. It's difficult to work out best team out but the best formations appear to be 3-5-2 or 4-2-2-2 for us today, with a big emphasis on preventing their goal kicks going short and stopping Deulofeu. Sims drops to the bench no matter what formation we play. Desperate to see Valery in the side, Ward-Prowse out of position really struggled last game. If Valery is fit to start we can get something.
