2-1 saints (hopefully)

 

No but it’s blo*dy cold behind the sofa

 

When I was a kid Dr Who made me get behind he sofa and then I grew up. Yet the same fear returned and I had to get behind the sofa if Kiko was on the team sheet

 

Prowse was sent off with a straight red (upgraded from a yellow which was given on the pitch by the ref, but good old Mike Dean saw differently)
We’ll miss him - but we know with Bielsa and his style of play, it should be a good game. Of course I’m hoping for a Saints win, but I’ll take a 3-3 draw

 

A win tomorrow puts us on projected points of 42.75
Yes I know I’m a mine of useless information

 

Che Adams can’t hit a cows arse with a banjo since he came to the PL, I like him but I just don’t think he’s a PL striker.

We don’t have a proven goal scorer and our attacking mids are non-threatening.

Our defence has improved but your keeper can probably have the afternoon off.

 

We wanted him during our Championship winning season and were apparently willing to part with 20m, but we kept getting turned away!

 

How many of the above players would go straight into our line up?

 

Most likely all of them but the system now wouldn't work with Smith and Viduka so one of those would be out, quite possibly Keane too.
Harte was a poor defender, scored some great goals , not sure he'd have the fitness for today's squad

 

Quite a few but how many of us want to go back to Division one because over time that's where having this line up took us.

 

Good point

 

So, if quite a few of those players would have walked strait into our current and that squad would have taken us down to Division one. What dose that say about our current squad then?

 

It tells you we aren't trying to match and keep up with the Jonesys. We have a plan and aren"t going out paying silly money and buying everyone in sight just to try and live with the big boys. That squad didn't take us down it was the dream in thinking we could have them and keep them that did.

 

True we did spend a hell of a lot of money we didn’t have at that time living the dream and don’t want to go back to those days.

 

Going to the game, can’t remember the last time I was present for a Saints win. You’re welcome

 

Appreciate the effort.

 

Not putting the team up...too depressing.

We're dooomed.

 

wow no Firpo or Phillips

 

wow, just seen the lineup, it's.... frightening (possibly not in a good way )
