We will be good for 60 minutes. Then rubbish for half an hour and end up losing. Just like every week.
I'm a fan of both Smallbone and Aribo in that 8 position and both bring different things with Will bringing structure, ball recovery and passing while Joe is more direct with his running which is probably more eye catching whilst the former's work goes under the radar a bit. A few are a bit down on Will atm because of the Boro match but the whole team were off the pace a bit tbf and at his best he is an asset to the team.
I'm going to this one with Mini Lincoln and two of my best mates who I haven't been to an away game with since Wembley. Don't give a **** about the score just looking forward to crossing off a new ground and having a few pints with the boys. No point worrying about individual games now until the end of the season. What an anti climax
Saints master plan is to extend our suffering. Autos is for the faint-hearted. Why do that when you can screw the fans for longer by participating in the play offs. Up the Saints
Playoffs are the best way to get promoted anyway. The other 46 games are all just the pre-season warm up.
Our suffering will be extended through to a penalty shootout at the end of the Playoff final. We will lose, after every member of both teams have had a go, plus the substitutes, Russ, the backroom staff, whispering Dave Merrington, the Saints Band and most of the fans.
And you get a trophy. We didn’t get one when we went up 2nd. Be nice to have another cup on the trophy shelf…I mean in the trophy cabinet
Any idea where they are or how big? Potholes I can avoid but large craters need prior warning. Going to this one. Record so far this season at away games is 2 defeats, 2 wins and a draw. Not including the game in the 70’s at the old ground. We lost badly. Best I can hope for is a draw, as Blackburn have found their scoring boots. Szmodics never lost his.
I would like us to buy Szmodics, but Saints have a nasty habit of turning 20 goals a season strikers into donkeys who can’t hit a barn door.
As far as I can remember (OK, I looked it up): "I read the news today, oh boy Four Thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill The Albert Hall"
This joint management approach is the Cloughie and Taylor of match day threads. Cloughie (Laces) the more extrovert, outspoken half of the team kept in check by the gruff but quieter Taylor (Lemons). "I'm not equipped to manage this thread successfully without Lemons,” Laces once said. “I am the shop window and he is the goods in the back." Not only is Lemon's eye for a phrase second to none, he is the perfect yin to Laces' egotistical yang, and the only man who could get him to fall into line. “Lemons is the only bloke who could stick an arm around my shoulder and tell me – straightforwardly, mate to mate – that I was wrong, or right, or to shut up and just get on with my job,” Laces admits. We all know how this works out. Promoted in the first season and champions shortly afterwards. Exciting times indeed. Without Lemons to keep an eye on him Laces has already gone over to the Leeds board and told them; "Right you ****in' lot" “You lot may all be regular posters, and have won promotion under Farke but as far as I’m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is chuck all your laptops and all your smartphones into the biggest ****ing dustbin you can find. Because you’ve never won fairly. You’ve done it all by cheating.” Some quotes are based on real events but may not be historically accurate.
Will batter them for 60-70 mins but only be a goal up. We will then concede at least one in the last 20 KWP will continue to be benched because Martin wants to prove a point. THB will be at right back as Bree is suspended with Manning returning at left back
