Match Day Thread Hull vs Southampton, Sat 21st Oct, 3pm

Not directed solely at you but the “down” is about the general style, poor results & occasional “good”. Yes we’re 5th but with the squad, we should be so much better & could be. Shame really.

 

We are going to finish 4th and win promotion at Wembley. I said so in the pre-season predictions

 

If you take into consideration of previous championship starts to a season, no team has excelled like Leicester ever, and very seldom I'd ever has another team marched Ipswichs form too. They've just been ridiculous tbh.

I like our style of play, it'll come good the more we play it and the more the best 11 gel together.

 

Not sure why you’re mentioning Leicester; I certainly didn’t. For me, our style is pants, worst, I’ve ever seen (for a squad of our quality). “Death by” is our (my) new motto. Of course, that’s just me tho.

 

Ryan Manning = 5 yellows in 12 games. KWP = 0 yellows in 12 games.

Just demonstrates the gulf in class between the two of them. Genuinely excited to see Bree on the right an KWP on the left. Think it should really help Sulemana/Edozie too having a decent player behind them for once.

 

The work in progress is progressing albeit with some errors and issues to be addressed.

 

We've achieved perfect symmetry:

W D W W L L L L W W D W

 

THB and Beddie CB partnership: 5 games 5 goals conceded

Other CB partnerships this season: 7 games 17 conceded

 

Will Jack get back in the starting 11 now?

 

I'm not expecting him to be fit until Christmas anyway. After that then yes, I think he needs to get back in ahead of THB, seeing as Jack is captain, and THB is only here on loan. As much as the stats here look favourable towards THB, Jack is still the better defender, imo.

 

It's a luxury, and a welcome problem, to have 3 quality CBs who would all expect to be starting.

 

I wonder when was the last time an Aberdonian scored a winner for Saints ? Stu was brought up in Aberdeen, but wasn`t born here.

 

The tackle by KWP at around 6:35. So good.

 

Just love the celebration of the players.

 

Smells like team spirit.

 

Never mind

 

So that's our latest good block of 4 games done. Our season seems to developing into a pattern where we have 4 good games followed by 4 **** ones. So we're ****ed for the next four.

 

That normally means the opposite, let's hope so!

 

For its issues, I don’t think we can fault the attitude of the team so far this season, they do seem to be fighting for each other, the manager and the club.

Especially enjoyed the rumble at the end of the Stoke game for this reason, there is fight there.

Also I berated Downes for complaining about fans after a **** result, but it is also a sign that they will defend each other.

Which is refreshing after the last couple of years.
