    Whilst some people may be disappointed we didn’t really go for Rotherham and improve our GD games like that are important when you have so many fixtures in a short space of time.

    Look at Man City last year or whenever it was they did the treble they would get the job done early then coast and save their legs. Not suggesting we are anywhere near Man city level in ability but the principal is the same that we need to win basically every game to maintain second position so a game where we only really need to go for it for 30 mins then coast is perfect

    Meghoma has played at RB for the u21s this season.

    And Jake Vokins can go on the left. Stephens and Charles at CB.

    Charles needs the practice at CB.

    That is a very shaky defence!

    I think we will do this, but a nervy 1-0 or a 2-1 with them scoring in the 89th minute at 2-0 to us and there being 11 mins of injury time.

    Clean sheet, win and no injuries. Couldn’t ask for a better result really.

    Give the fringe players a run. We won’t beat Liverpool at anfield. Need to focus on the league imo.
    I will care about the cups again once we’ve won the league :bandit:

    This is a glorified friendly, nothing more.

    It's not 100% that we'll lose at Anfield, unlikely but not impossible as history shows. Whatever the team selection against Watford a game against Liverpool is a great motivator.

    The ref, after earlier attending a formal dinner arrives late at St Mary's and, still in his evening wear, goes to reception, "My name is Bond, Darren Bond".
    The receptionist, who has her back to the counter swings round in her chair and (while stroking a fluffy pussy) says "Good evening Mr Bond, we've been expecting you".

    Receptionist; An older but very glamorous woman says "My name is Pussy Galore".
    Darren Bond; "I must be dreaming"
    Receptionist; "Yes, you are dreaming Darren you're actually here to ref the Saints V Watford replay".

    Receptionist; "I'll get someone to show you to the referee's changing rooms" and makes a quick phone call.
    A beautiful voluptuous young woman (Plenty O'Toole) arrives at reception.
    Plenty O'Toole; "Hi, I'm Plenty"
    Darren; "But of course you are".

    I heard Plenty O'Toole was named after her father.

    I will miss unfortunately whether it’s shown or not as I am booked in for a night out watching Jeff Stelling and Bianca Westwood at our local theatre …..hoping for a great result at the end of the show.

    We will definitely 100% lose this game as we are due a loss because of a 23 unbeaten run.
    Logic supplied by me as I had a wet dream about refreshing a ceefax page.

    Feels like we haven’t been down in the championship for long enough for it to really matter to me.
    I remember when we were in league one and we drew United it felt like a big game.

    But we know what playing the the big clubs is like. They get all the decisions, have 80% possession. VAR will be used, they’ll get a dodgy penalty or something. Yawn.

    Focus on the championship.

    The last time but two we were in the second tier, we won the FA Cup.

    It stands to reason that we’re going to maintain our unbeaten run right up to getting automatic promotion and winning the ****er again.

    In Latin vomitarium actually means the exit so I hope no Saints fans will be heading there until much later in the game
