I have gone for a narrow Saints win, but I too feel pessimistic for this game because we seem to have left our free scoring period. On the other hand, Boro have had a lot of draws and are low scoring. Take no notice of me..I'm often worried prior to a game especially when I'm going. I'm going to give myself a hug<hug> and knock my head against a wall :headbang:
 
I am going to be very pessimistic, I can really see a defeat in this one.

2-1 to Middlesbrough - winning home run to an end.

Last time you were pessimistic (you thought Saints would take a small following to Palace!) you were completely and utterly wrong. Lets hope you are wrong again.

I'd love to be wrong, but I just can't see it. I have a really bad feeling about this one - i'm just not content with how we're playing at the moment

Beating West Ham, drawing away at Derby and having an off day at reading but still getting a point with 10 men, is not poor form. The lads will get back to their best today!
 
We started so brilliantly and got those good old points on the table. We're now finding it harder to score, but have managed to snatch two draws so are showing some resilience. Today would be a good chance to show our credentials against a team just below us. Would love to improve our GD bearing West Ham's GD in mind. We then have an 'easier' month, but could actually be harder games because these teams would definately be scrapping. An interesting time to say the least. Personally, think we will find it hard to be still top at Xmas. However, if we are within a few points of top in January I trust the team and Nigel to get us over the line.
 
I have had a cheeky bet on a 3-1 win with Morgan to score first how's that for being optimistic........however I have had this nagging feeling all morning that it might be the first home defeat of the season ....I really hope not though COYR
 
what the **** is wrong with you lot? We've played Derby away, West Ham at home and Reading away and got a good 5 points. One of them games we only had 10 men and we didn't have Lallana so stop moaning about how we're not playing well ffs
 
Saints team:
Davis
Butterfield Fonte Hoiveld Fox
Lallana Hammond Cork Chaplow
Guly Lambert
 
Glad to see Lallana back, with the way Adkins was dodging questions about his condition I was worrying he could have been out for a while! Interesting to see Guly up front, him and Lambert played well together last season, let's hope they work well together again
