    Welcome to the Really, Really Positive Match Thread


    saints badge.png versus WBA badge.png


    St Mary's welcomes back Rickie Lambert as Saints defend their unbeaten home league record in 2016 <laugh>

    Match Appointments
    Referee:     Martin Atkinson Assistants: S Burt, L Betts Fourth Official: S Attwell

    The Baggies currently sit 13th in the Premier league on 27 points, level with Saints, behind on GD

    League Form last one game (hey, ours is better and you're only as good as your last game)

    Saints
    Watford (home) won 2-0, but should have been 5 :)

    West Brom
    Chelsea (away) drew 2-2, jammy draw and same as our last opponents

    This form guide also points to a Saints win

    Last League Meeting at St Mary's
    Saturday 23rd August 2014, St Mary's
    Southampton 0 v 0 West Brom
    Baggies defended with 10 across the bag and stole a point

    Possible Saints line-up:
    Forster, Cedric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand, Target, Romeu, Clasie, Davis, Mane, Long
    Subs:
    Gazza, Yoshida, Pelle, Vic, Martina, Tadic, JWP

    Formation (there are only two choices this game)
    5-3-2 clearly this is the most attack minded formation available in the modern game
    6-3-1 (my preferred Subbuteo formation and soon to be established as the new High Press, once Ron eventually reads my letters)

    Fats' Forecast

    Southampton 3 Rickie Lambert 1 (late pen):1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down:

    I see rickie wasn't in WBA squad last night, injured???

    Also see that they restricted Chelsea to only 2 shots on target....but keeping this thread positive it will all come together for saints in front of goal. 3-0

    Just as last night, thats a strong and possibly game-changing bench. Not that we'll need it!

    By the way, watching that video of Ricky is actually quite sad. I'd actually forgotten just how good he was if you can believe that. Plus seeing the sheer delight on the faces of all our ex's.

    They might have the money but they'll never experience that pure joy again.

    The weather looks crazy for the game, even with me living ten mins from the ground.

    Will we either. Those promotions years were great. Now we are in the PL, excitement is being one place higher than last season. Not knocking it...this is where Saints belong.....but sheer joy? No.

    Clasie still looked shattered to me for most of the second half/end of first half so maybe we'll go with Vic/Romeu to start

    Clasie's work rate is incredible. No wonder he is knackered.
