Match Day Thread Sat. 8 Feb. - Saints v Burnley - 3pm - FA Cup

A grey damp day will be lightened up by progression to the next round.

 

Match Day! Cupping.

 

Interesting words from Parker -

"There's a chance to give players minutes that haven't played as much as others and for the new lads to be integrated into the side. It will be useful for them to get a feel for it and what we expect."

That means I guess that people like Marcus Edwards might play, which worries me, because he's really good.

 

I seem to have lost all my telegram links to SaintsPlayer - anyone got the links could PM me? I used to check the schedule but cant seem to now

EDIT: Ignore...user error

 

Probably he needs to score, we’ve been generous to this type of cause for a while now.

 

Not sure I have ever seen a team play with 2 left backs and 2 right backs on the pitch

 

Edwards on the bench for Burnley.

 

Burnley have made 9 changes.

 

Why not give Gronbaek minutes?

Also Wood and ABK. Have faith in one of them ffs.

 

And Nathan Redmond. So you know what’s coming.

They’ve not gone as weak as I suspected, whereas we’ve gone….weird.

 

Downes still nowhere to be seen.

 

It really is bizarre and there are two CBs on the bench. They must be awful in training.

 

Manning at CB?

 

And no striker on the pitch, yet 2 on the bench...

 

Sulemana can play up front.

 

Yeah I guess so. Bednarek in the middle with 2 right backs and 2 left backs either side. Guarentee they still get crosses in easily

 

Adarma scores on his debut at the Baggies

 

Strange lineup that

 

Why do we always choose managers that do ****ing weird things?

Why can’t we ever appoint anyone normal
