    Sunday 5 October 2014 - 14:05



    Match Officials

    Referee: Mike Jones

    Assistants: A Halliday and A Nunn

    4th Official: Dean Whitestone


    This Sunday see Saints travel to White Hart Lane to try and notch our seventh win on the bounce. We’ve not got a great record against Spurs and have not beaten them since our return to the PL so we are overdue a win. Of course the game has added spice with the first face off against our old manager MP.
    Spurs have made an inconsistent start to the season and have the added disadvantage of having to play a Europa game home to Besiktas tomorrow. No doubt MP will make a lot of changes and that could help us on Sunday. MP seems to be struggling to know what his best eleven is but has a very talented squad so this will still be a tough test.
    For Saints with the exception of Jrod and JWP Ron has pretty much a full squad to choose from. For me the midfield will be key as we need to cut off any service to Adebayor. I’d start with

    Forster
    Clyne Fonte Toby Bertrand
    Vic Morgan Davis
    Tadic Pelle Mane

    Subs KD Targett Gardos Cork Reed Gallagher Long

    Would really love to win this one and with confidence sky high no reason why Saints can’t get a result.
    2-0 Saints with goals for Mane and Pelle.

    COYR!

    Good luck on sunday ladies and gents. Hope the match is decided by the players rather than the ref.

    I'd put you as slight favourites with the way we're playing at the moment, but maybe we'll get a boost from the draw at the Emirates, you can never tell which Spurs will show up.
    If you can nullify Lamela you have a great chance as all our other attackers seem woefully off form (Chadli is sticking the onion in the sack but thats about it)

    They have been woeful all season, but you can guarantee that spurs always turn it on against us.

    I would be extremely happy if we can get a point tbh.

    Overseeing a meltdown, you say? £35m transfer profit post-exodus and a new squad that sits above Spurs and Liverpool, up in 2nd place in the league.

    That'd be Ronald Koeman.

    Think you playing Thursday may have an affect on you (hopefully!).

    Logic would say not under Poch as he's massively rotating. He changed all 10 outfield players after our last EL game when we played West Brom at home. Of course we went ahead and lost that one <doh>

    You need a result tomorrow though so surely he will put out a strong side.

    Makes sense because he didn't seem keen on getting in the Europa League when with us.
