Finally an answer! 1,530 Saints fans will be housed in the blocks 4,5 and 6 of the Chadwick Lawrence stand at the John Smith’s Stadium. Mauricio Pellegrino’s men will be in their black away kit. But does that mean black with stripes or last season's black? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I've been trying for days to get an answer to this from the club - and they simply won't tell me! They have said it's a match officials decision, which, as you say, argues that there's a problem with both kits. It's bizarre. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

If it's de Vrij I'll be very happy. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Correction: we do plenty of nils. It's the teams playing us that don't. [emoji45] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Still no information available. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Austin doesn't push centre halves anywhere. He stands still to make it easier for them. In this formation, the front two will be isolated. They may not be exciting, but we need at least one of JWP and Davis. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Weak in the the air, yes. And Udds are strong in that area, so not good. But shambolic, no. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure the Van Dijk situation is affecting him. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm expecting a reaction to Weds night and agree that we could play better away from St Mary's. That's quite sad really and says a lot about the different support home and away. I wouldn't go so far as to say the atmosphere at St Mary's is actually toxic, but all too often nowadays it seems luke warm, especially when things aren't going well, which is the normal state of things at the moment. It takes a lot to get a real buzz of support going. But away, it always seems to me that the small core of Saints fans are usually fantastic. It's completely different. This must get through to the team. I'll be at Huddersfield tomorrow and fully expect lots of noise and great support all game. Shame we didn't take the full allocation. We've got a big fan base in the north and would have sold out easily. And I think we'll win. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'll be surprised if we go again with three CBs. Would be equally surprised to see Forster rested, but feel he should be. McCarthy (but will be Forster) Cedric Hoedt Yoshida Bertrand Romeu Lemina Redmond Davis Long (but Boufal/Tadic) Gabbiadini Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Really? Midfield would be totally stagnant. Boufal as the link between defence and attack? That would be the missing link. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

You're right. A goal from any of our players is unexpected. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I missed his age. Potential for the future. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

With Sims and Hesketh in the wings, I'd be surprised by this, unless it's just a cheap gamble. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That is what I would have thought. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That might not be a bad idea. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

And if every match except one in a season ended in a draw, 40 points would win the league. Just sayin' Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

In that formation, the forwards will be totally isolated. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

It's getting stupid now. Apparently decision pending from match officials, which suggests there's a dispute. We'll be told "when they know, and if they're allowed to release the info" Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Just called again and it's getting bizarre. Was told a decision will be taken by the match officials and they'll then release the info "if they're allowed to" Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

See the thread on Away Supporters. I've asked and the club don't seem to know. Something about both strips potentially clashing so may be a third strip. [emoji45] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I agree. They'll crash at some point, hopefully this Saturday. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm sure this will be very close to the team but I'd be reluctant to start any of Boufal, Tadic and Forster. So give Long a game so we have the option of longer balls for him to chase, alongside Davis and Redmond. We won't see McCarthy, but it's time to give him a chance. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Redmond Tadic and Boufal??? Disaster. Three headless chickens. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

You make some good points. Is Tadic toxic? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
