Saints host Chelsea on Sunday in what will be their first home win this year Team for this has to be the one Ralph originally picked for the Spurs game, if Cedric is fit. If not, let's slot in Valery in right back..... 2-1 Saints COYR!!!!!
We can still be a bit erratic, but generally Saints have improved. We haven't recovered to the positivity of our early years back in the EPL, but have reached the point where a win doesn't seem impossible. I'm going for a home win because a) I support Saints, b) I am unable to learn from experience and c) we are due one 2-1 Saints. Early Saints goal, immediate Chelsea equaliser, with a penalty to Saints 5 mins into the 10 mins injury time.
Chelsea actually look better this season than they did last. Hazard leaving and them being forced to play their kids doesn’t seem to have hurt them at all. Still think we can get something from this game though. It won’t be easy and I won’t despair if we get beat, but I genuinely think, given a bit of luck, we are capable of beating anyone on our day.
Too many smart minded and quick footed players for us to cope with. Would be really pleased if we got a point, but if we continue to play players out if position for another week, cannot see how we get anything from this game.
Controversially I really dislike Lampard so hoping for decent win. Hopefully a midweek trip to Lille will take something out of Chelsea. They don't have the intimidating attack of previous seasons like drogba, costa or hazard but can never be written off. Knowing our luck Giroud will get a game. We could just click in this game

i was thinking maybe Ralph is very proud but he is missing Danny Rohl or a wing man to take some of the heat off it must be tough managing a football club especially with the fans wanting to win the games all the time why dont ralph get a new wingman to assist?
