Any result is good for us - a Leicester win keeps Southampton in sight, a Southampton win keeps Leicester down, and a draw does both but to a slightly lesser degree. For City, it's a win-win.
They're getting Nathan Delfouneso from Villa, initially for a month and it's believed he will play tonight.
Isn't he that lad that was on loan at Burnleh last season? Scored 1 goal in 30 odd games....................against us!
He scored one in eleven games for Burnley and it was indeed against us. He's scored 9 in 43 for Villa(in all competitions) and he's actually not a bad player.
I don't care about the whole leicester thing and I'm looking for us to go automatic so leicester win tonight for me.
Saints missing Lambert still (last of his 3 game ban) and i expect a typical NP away performance. Very much think and hope its a boring 0 - 0 and that suits most of the teams around the top 10. Positive Nigel V. Negative Nigel. (AC/DC) 0 - 0 for me.
Preference. 1. Soton/Lestra draw 2 Soton win 3. Lesta lose. I don't want to contemplate any other outcome.
I really couldn't care less about this match. Southampton look streets ahead of us- they thrashed Forest without their top goalscorer, that would never happen here if Roko was out. As for Leicester, well they'll be looking to do what we did last season, ie try and crash the playoffs and will probably just fall short.
Not when we played them they were not and they had Lambert in there team. Lambert i would suggest is the big difference at the moment between Saints and Hulls league position.
A Lesta win it is then, against a much weakened team missing Lallana & Lambert, two key players that any team would miss. To be fair Saints looked very off colour, Lesta looked nothing special at all but scored two very good goals, however, for me, the rest of the game was absolute dog turd with very little in the way of quality on display. Oh and that VVanker Nugent should have been red carded for that head lock and grapple!
They aren't streets ahead of us. They have two strikers who are better than ours and as such they finish their chances. We create chances like nobody's business, I don't think any team in this league are streets ahead of us.
