Surprised that there is a lot of anxiety from the red and white masses over this one. It should be a good game and tough but i can't see us coming away without at least a point. We are playing some good stuff and riding the wave. I'm going 2-1 to Saints with typically bum squeaking final 10...
I think it will be a close game. Can't see us losing but I imagine a draw will be the most likely outcome. 2-2.
I think Fox will make his debut on Tuesday. Harsh to drop Harding but Fox is better and has a quality delivery from set pieces.
Anything other than a defeat will be a great result as we will have 3 home league games out of 4 after this game. I think that we will be extremely hard to beat at SMS, so picking up draws at places like Ipswich will maintain momentum, although the way that NA sets up his teams, we have every chance of getting all 3 points. I'll be conservative in my prediction this time with a low scoring draw.
I reckon we can beat them. They're on a low, were on a high and thay have a shaky defence apparently. I'm going 3-1 Saints- Lambert, Barnard, Lallana and Chopra for Ipswich.
sorry but what games have you been watching? Guly has had a really poor start to the season IMO, a shadow of his former self
He's linked up with the play well but should have got a couple of goals from good chances. Torquay he was poor, yes.
I also do think think Guly is as good going forward this season at the moment - some of his defensive work has been excellant - but not seen so many of those surging runs. The problem is also the postion he's been playing; he's not a forward nor is he a right winger. Still rate him and hope it turns out well for him (and us) soon. Would add that when substituted on Saturday, Solent said he came off the pitch shaking his head - not a good sign perhaps - wondering if it's a confidence thing...
Sorry - late and am tired; I also do not think Guly is as good going forward this season at the moment
Ha, I left De Ridder off the bench. Can't believe it. Ignore my line up on post #47. I'll just leave it up to Adkins.
Against Leeds Guly's interplay was quality, and as stated his defensive work is under rated. Admittedly he was poor against Torquay, a few glimpses of quality but never got going. Then yesturday, apparantly had another good game and didn't deserve to come off. Guly is easily good enough for the championship and technically is one of our better players. I think it's a similar case to when he first signed for us, took a few games to get sed to the league. Come the end of September he will be on form again.
I've well and truly eaten my words after the Barnsley game. Never did I expect us to do that well at Oakwell and get 3 points. This side continue to surpass my expectations - this is without doubt a great time to be a Saints fan. I don't think I have enjoyed it this much since the 80s! Having said all that, I think it will be a tough match at Portman Road. First evening match away, large crowd, one of the better opposing sides in the league - a draw would be a good result.
