Match Day Thread SAINTS vs Cat Botherers, Weds 2nd March, 19:30

[Gregm1988]

I am intrigued as to how their back four will line up. They seem to have three central defenders and a right back. And no left back

 

[Paddy Podped]

The strong bench is the one glimmer of hope for me. West Ham are bound to tire in the 2nd half so if we keep it tight, with 5 subs allowed it could all change in the 2nd half.

And then if it goes to extra time…..

Ralph the genius

A missed opportunity to progress I feel.

 

[shoot_spiderman]

The biggest thing is that all that chemistry built up in the last few weeks has gone, you can't just throw the spaghetti at the wall and hope it sticks which is what he has done with this team.
Anyway it's done now, come on Saints.

I love that analogy

I imagine they think the same (and opposite) about us. Three full backs and a centre back

 

[Osvaldorama]

It’s like he’s deliberately picked our worst possible line up. Wtf is he thinking honestly. I’m still fuming

 

[Saints_Alive]

I just hope that the training sessions were red hot and there are a few hungry players out there tonight fighting for a place.

That so worked out against Coventry didn't it.

We still won! Get off your High horse, It's not fantastic to see 9 changes. Quit acting like a whiny baby.

 

[Saints_Alive]

I bet Blackmore and Whispering Dave are having a meltdown on Solent!

 

[Dark Lord SFC]

Glad I didn’t waste my time and money travelling down to this game only for Ralph to throw it from the start. Feel sorry for those paying good money to see us get tonked by WHU full first team
Angry

Only ****ing just. And the opponents tonight are a huge step up in class. I think I've got a right to be pissed at that line up.

Only after he brought on 4 or 5 first teamers.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

What minute will Valery be sent off then? I’m going 20-30 bracket.

Seriously though, we risk injuries more by putting out a weak team cos we will be chasing shadows the whole game.

Oh Ralph why? Why?!

 

[Shandy_top_89]

Only hope really is that we survive until half time and then blast them with 4-5 fresh first teamers in the second half.

That’s not really any sort of tactic though.

 

[San Tejón]

Just seen that WHU have Liverpool at the weekend, so I guess they will hope they can wrap tonight’s game up early, and then rest players.
That or they don’t expect to get anything against the Pool so are throwing everything at getting into the QF to compensate.

 

[Lambertissier]

Sorry to break away from the doom and gloom, but I can’t seem to find the game on the red button or Iplayer? Has the coverage started yet? Any advice? #technophobe

 

[lewebster]

It's an intriguing line up for sure, we have a good squad with some great back up players with points to prove, can still see us getting something from this.

It's gonna be hilarious watching some of you claim that Ralph is a genius when we enevitably beat Wet Spam!

I have a sneaky feeling that this could be decided by Willy penetrating the box late on!
