Match Day Thread Wednesday 2nd April 2025 Southampton V Crystal Palace 1945 ko.

Arrived at the stadium. Town seems very quiet so **** knows what the crowd will be tonight. While it's sunny the wind chill is ****ing freezing. Wear a coat!

 

Yeah I just dropped my nipper off and decided it's definitely not a shorts and t shirt evening.

 

At this rate it'll just be us three in the stadium mate

 

Lincoln, give us a song, Lincoln Lincoln give us a song.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk VARRRRRR

 

I'm not sure it really matters what side we put out ... Still, good to see Jurics tombola strike again

 

Looks like players in their correct positions, and a striker, so…

 

You've ruined our club, you've ruined our cluuubbbb, Sport Republic, You've ruined our club

 

Relatively happy with that tbh. Both Downes and Lesley starting is good and we're playing a striker

Pleased to see Manning in at left back too. Though we'll have to be wary of Eze swapping sides.

 

Playing 3 centre backs as well, even if one of them is Stephens

 

One concern is that Fernandes might be out wide where he's utterly wasted.

 

I don't mind Stephens playing tbh. At least we know he'll give a **** which can't be said for that many.

Red card incoming

 

I think my only real issues with that lineup is I'd have preferred Dibling to Sulemana and to see a back four.

But really our options are incredibly dire so I'm not gonna complain too much. Well until half time at least.

 

Who's hair will Stephens pull tonight then?

 

He definitely shouldn’t be drinking that much before a match…..

 

Well, we’ve put out far worse lineups. Is this Stephens first start since his ban? And with the captains armband back on too…

 

So what's happened to Grobeak? Not even on the bench. Or are we just filing him under transfer failures?

 

If I could get past that wretched 3 at the back (which clearly I can't) the tombola has served up a reasonable line up there, depending where Fernandes ends up

 

Definitely not.











There's no room left in that file!
