Match Day Thread Brentford v Saints 31st Aug ko 15.00

Thinking of sticking an under 2.5 goals in my acca.

 

I predicted 3-0 before we got Ramsdale. We should have conceded at least 3 last week if Forest knew where the goal was. Can’t see much here to change my prediction.

 

UTFS!

 

As expected, though I really want to see Fernandes on the pitch as soon as possible.

 

Like the look of our bench!

 

That's a really negative starting line up.

 

Shoehorn is 40/1 to score first, so I have just wasted a a fiver.

 

Yeah, after witnessing midfield dynamism against Cardiff, I fear another static midfield. Hope I'm wrong.

 

Hopefully it means that BBD and Arma will play in the old fashioned inside forward position, giving the midfielders someone to bounce the ball off of, with KWP and Yuki providing the width.

 

I just think we are a better team in 433

 

Come on Saints. Let’s capitalise on the feel good here and grab something.

 

Agreed.

 

Which is how a back 3 should work. Compared to last week where had the WB's and forwards taking up the same spaces and no striker in the middle.

 

That lineup feels like a chance for some players to play their way out of the rotation on the other side of the international break. Three or four who need performances

 

I just don't get it! Are we hoping for a 0-0? Because there's **** all attacking threat in that XI.

 

I've gone 2-1 Saints in the prediction game, BBD and KWP to score.

 

Really struggle to see the point in Aribo…. Let alone the point of not giving Fernandes or Aribo a chance at being creative….

 

I think we go into every away game trying to keep it tight for as long as possible. Any point away from home is a good one for us this season

 

Brentford look like Scandinavia FC.

 

I think this is the last time we will see this team. He will ease in Fernandes, Dibling & co. Still got Fraser to integrate and Lallana will play a part. It is all good. Going to be a tough season but I feel we may be ok. We have options.
