Aaargh its like waking up to the girl from the night before once you're sober.............Aaargh match thread. What happened to the jubilous celebrations of getting into the semis and carrying the new found hope and momentum on to the weekend. As it is I think I'll leave this thread till the weekend. lol
Not sure when we last started a game without any of Vic Jack or Morgan but surely Reed must get a chance now?
If he doesn't get a chance now, he might as well move on. H'e been on the bench for 90% of our games, yet has made one 2minute sub appearence all season.
15:00 Southampton v Everton Referee:- Jonathan Moss. Assistants:- S Bennett & D Eaton 4th Official:- = G Sutton Can't be worse than last night can it?
No, I don't believe it will be. And besides, games coming thick & fast now, so although we have lost the one we all wanted to win, we now know where our priorities sit now. Hope a couple of youngsters make it into our gaps & do well, that would be a silver lining of sorts.
I'm finding that I like the between match period rather than actual match days. I shall adopt the Lawro position: Saints can't score and are on a losing streak, therefore will win 2-1.
We have to convince Everton that they just have to turn up and they will have any easy win, but a wounded animal is sometimes quite dangerous and may bite.
