Saints go into the game in tremendous form and the players confidence must be sky high. QPR on the other hand have struggled a bit on their return to the top flight and have major injury worries especially in midfield. Their recent signing from Spurs, Sandro is out after celebrating a goal in training so Arry only has Fer, Henry and Kranjcar fit for Saturday. Saints have lost JWP and Toby and Maya may not be fit. Ron has a few selection decisions to make especially up front where he has to decide whether to start with Mane or Long? I thought our midfield were awesome against Arsenal as was Targett so will Cork and Bertrand be able to get back in? I think Iâd go with Fraser Clyne Fonte Gardos Bertrand Wanyama Morgan Davis Tadic Pelle Mane Subs KD Targett Maya/Toby Cork Reed Mayuka Long Weâve got a decent record against QPR but we all know there are no easy games at this level. Iâm going for a 2-0 home win with Pelle and Long scoring. Letâs keep this winning run going COYR!
I would be tempted to drop wanyama for cork and long for mane. Keep them in reserve and use them if needed.
Thought we were beginning to look a little tired towards the end last night, unsurprisingly. I hope that big Vic, Steven and Morgan can boss the midfield like they did at the last home game (and that QPR are as poor as Newcastle!). My conservative (small 'c') nature says 1-0 to Saints (it would be great for Steven to bury one in the net), but I hope for many more! COYR indeed!!
Cork and Long in just for rotational purposes. Would probably give Davis and Mané (looked knackered towards the end) a rest
That would be my team, the only change I would make from the starting XI from the cup would be Bertrand for Targett. No need to rush Alderweireld back, Fonte and Gardos looked very good last night. Unless anyone has picked up slight knocks, 3 days of rest will be more then enough for the same team to start again you'd assume.
This is a game that even if we were being asset stripped sold all our best players and never replaced them i would of expected to win, so i am fairly confident this will turn out to be a shocking defeat. As it was a couple of seasons ago. I fecking hate Arry!!!
I would go with the OP's team as well. Worried about this one after the last time they came To St. Mary's. One of the most frustrating games I've seen, I remember leaving the ground and being so annoyed. Hopefully we have a plan B this time...
Anyone else got this stuck in their head? Haven't been able to shift it. https://vine.co/v/M9uBprTUpY7
Is that true about Sandro injuring himself while celebrating a goal in training? That could only happen to a team managed by 'Arry boy.
Can someone tell me how the hell newly promoted struggling QPR qualified to the category B teams when buying tickets? £40 to watch Harry worm his way out of a deserved hammering. I'm many here who just has that niggling feeling that QPR are gonna grind out a draw. But I also think we'll thrash em.
London club who travel well, and our fixtures are both 3pm on a Saturday, meaning it's accessible. Prices typically lower for clubs who have to come further or are particularly unattractive to the home crowd. (No Harry jokes, play nicely)
