    ^^^^

    clean sheet ….. I used to say “there’s that flying pig”! Wouldn’t place anyone’s £ on a RM’s Saints achieving that. Disgraceful comment really but unfortunately really true.Ps. And before anyone says it’s not all his fault, we’ve dropped a div, into “his” level with a squad that most other Championship teams would bite your arm off for. Management & tactics is the only key component/ attribute we’re lacking.

    First home game of the season for me.

    Despite the **** of the past 2 games, the buzz never dies for a return to St Mary's after a long while. Genuinely buzzing.

    I'm 50/50 whether I can go. Got a really, really sick dog so want to be with him and I also have to negotiate my working hours and traffic etc from Bournemouth.

    Hopefully my little boy will rally and I can go :(

    Ipswich haven’t lost away from home since January. Really could have done with playing a team not full of confidence and in good form right now.
    Hopefully Bedders is back to partner THB and move Charles to DM alongside Smallbone (assuming Downes is out), with Alcaraz in front. Though we need to do that even if JannyB isn’t back, and play Holgate at CB to get a proper DM playing at DM. Same front 3 that started against Leicester for me unless Edozie is injured, then play AArma there instead. And maybe play the back 4 as a proper back 4 too just for fun.

    A team that loves to sit back and break on the counter. Essentially the worst possible style we could play against.

    Don’t see anything other than an easy Ipswich win unfortunately.

    Ipswich are not Leicester. The predictions that Ipswich will thrash us are laughable quite frankly.

    Tuesday's menu
    Starter. Don't concede in the 1st minute
    Main. A saints home victory
    Desert. Communication between goalkeeper, defence and midfield, keeping it tight at the back, looking solid and playing with confidence
    Cheeseboard. Don't **** about with corners.

    We have been thrashed in our last 2 matches, if RM sticks with our no defence tactics, we will get thrashed again.

    Being 14 ½ basically :(

    We lost his sister 10 months ago and he has soldiered on with a heart murmour, heart disease, kidney issues, arthritis to name a few ailments. Not eaten for 48 hours and missed one load of tablets (he has 3 tablets, twice daily). We are spending as much time with him, but it is hard as he is our little star :( He is the one on the left in my avatar, next to his late sister. ATM he isn't suffering, so that is good. Let's hope he starts eating, and gives us a little longer.

    Aww little Chihuahua. Im sorry, it’s no consolation but 14.5 is a really good age.

    Hope you’ve got a good vet looking after you.

    Yeah today is the worst day for us as the Vets are shut. Let’s get him to to tomorrow and they can work their magic on him like they normally do

    Yeah can’t see anything changing in 3 days. We will concede at least 3, it’s just whether we can score 4 this game

    Mate you'll have your easiest game on Tuesday. We're a f*cking shambles.

    Edit: And the guy you responded to is infamous on this forum for getting everything wrong.

    Don’t get suckered in by Tom. His mission is to destroy our season one jinx at a time!
