Match Day Thread Saints vs Middlesbrough, Sat 27th Sept, 1500

I did say I was doing it in that thread! Sorry you didn’t read that!

 

Typo

 

Middlesbrough not Middlesborough.

 

So if you take out the first 'o', and using the words left in, that leaves us with 4 '****' centre backs

 

I’ll get my coat!

 

I am taking by 89 year dad to this one, so really just want to see a decent attacking game. I would like to win, but will settle for 2-2 if it is end to end. I do not want to see the boring stuff we have served up in our last 3 or 4 league games

 

We'll smoke the smoggies, 3-1 to the super soaraway Saints.

 

First time I have ever booked tickets in the Itchen.

Been ages since I have seen a win at St Mary's.

Change of stand, change of luck!!!!!!

COYR

 

McCarthy
Jelert wood squashy manning
Downes Charles
Armstrong Azaz Scienza
Archer

 

I'm going to the Itchen to break my Itchen virginity (that sounds painful) too. How strange!

 

For some reason I can’t successfully purchase a ticket on my phone. Crap website.

 

Well I'm an Itchen slapper. God that sounds wrong.

 

Think we gotta stick with the back 3 on Sat now. Team for me looks like this:
Bazunu,
Edwards, Wood, Quarshie,
Jelert, Jander (if fit), Charles, Manning,
Arma, Archer, Scienza

Not particularly fazed by the result on this one, but just need to see effort & a decent performance. If we lose marginally, but see a solid defensive performance and a goal or two, with some fluid attacking play I’m happy. Then bury the Blades in their backyard on Tuesday!! COYS!!

 

So you've gone for two changes (in goal and DM) from the cup team.

Fair enough if you ask me! (Though he'll never do that).

 

I won't be at this game as I'm in Dublin all weekend so we'll inevitably win.

 

Same, except I’ll be in Amman. I missed the Wrexham game too…

 

Jealous!

I was planning to go to Jordan early last year with my nipper but sadly had to put it off when it kicked off nearby.

 

Missing this one; off to Espana for couple weeks. Will watch on box but have a feeling the Ryder Cup will excite me more. Very unsure about WS. Thought he would be a good appointment but hasn’t show anything to date, tactically nor passion wise. Of course early days but getting worried. The window looked fantastic but really to date has also been a damp squib. The CB’s …. dreadful. I’d go Quashie & one of our stellar established. Definitely bit of a mess & WS needs to get some sort of control very soon.

 

I’ll be behind the sofa

 

I'd like a win to feel like becoming a season ticket holder again this season was a rational choice...
