Match Day Thread Saints v Blackpool FA Cup 28/01 15:00

I think that's the first time JWP has been rested in about 5 years!

 

Nice to see ABK back.

 

Good to see Ballard on the bench too, hope he gets some time.

Still in shock about JWP though!

 

Didn’t expect him to risk Lavia, maybe he will come off at 60m when we’re 3-0 up

 

What is this back four craziness that I see...?!

 

Have to be honest, little bit gutted that Lyanco isn’t captain

 

Good call on JWP, too important to risk today with our schedule.

Nice for ABK to be back. Hopefully Orsic uses today to get up to pace as he looks miles off so far.

I also think this means Lavia doesnt start vs Newcastle - it will be JWP, Diallo & Alcarez.

 

That front 3 is what I’d like us to go with more often. I hope it works well today!

 

Don’t want to suggest unthinkable...but JWP isn’t for sale....is he?

 

There's not.been a sniff of a credible rumour for that so far as I know.

 

Very little surprises me these days, but that would really, really, really surprise me.

 

Treble like this, but I have learned over the hundred years of being a Saints fan (at least it feels like a hundred years) that there is nothing so impossible as to be impossible.

 

Is that even allowed? Unprecedented since the last time. No good will come of this.

 

Don’t even whisper it in jest.

 

End of season, bring the kids to work day?

 

I think us selling JWP this window is almost as likely as us signing Haaland this window. Summer is a different matter, but there’s so many reasons it’s so unlikely now.

It is surprising he’s not involved today though given he usually plays every game no matter how unimportant.

 

ABK Injured again...

 

ABK down, looks like he’ll be off,

 

ABK down injured.

 

Oh dear
