Saint Garrett

Even more odd that he's been nominated for Manager of the Month, and Ralph hasn't...

Yup - and me...not sure why we took a really small allocation for this game? Ridiculous.

I'd give basically the first XI a rest. Gunn Valery Vestergaard Yoshida Vokins? Romeu Slattery/Smallbone Djenepo Redmond Obafemi Adams

Fair play to him, he's stepped it up massively and long may it continue. Absolutely has proved me wrong.

He's never been good enough for the premier league and probably never will be. But would like to see him back playng again even if it's in League 1 or something

Nope - the Maehle comment wasn't meant to be linked to the need for a LB, that was to replace Cedric.

Probably depends on the clubs opinion on Vokins...assuming Bertrand stays a few more years, that gives enough time for the transition to happen. I wouldn't be against bringing in an experienced left back to compete with Bertrand now. Do we know if Maehle is likely to happen?

The matchday pricing was clearly a gamble on us having a great season, the prices are completely out of wack with the quality on the pitch. Bought a ticket for my brother in law for the Palace game, and it was £41.

Thats the spirit...

Seem to have a similar problem to us, in that they struggle to play under the pressure of their own fans at home...who knows what might happen on Saturday, think we'll both score not sure either team will edge it. Will be some truly awful defending, but they leave huge gaps in behind Rice and Noble and one of them normally pushes up. If we can get on top early doors, I can see us going a couple ahead and their heads dropping. 3-1 Saints. (or 2-2- of 1-3)

Certainly would take a draw, but a win would be a huge result and put us back in amongst the rest of the pack. Would keep the same team, apart from Valery for Cedric I think.

This was the larger issue from what I heard about it, I didn't watch any of it personally. It's always the issue with streaming, whether legally or illegally.

Bloke to my left (kingsland / northam corner) basically entered the stadium and booed all the way through the game and called the players c*nts everytime he opened his mouth... absolute moron. Why not just stay in the pub? it was almost like he wanted us to fail.

I'd go: -------------McCarthy Valery Stephens Bednarek Bertrand ----------Hojbjerg--JWP------------- ----Boufal----------------Djenepo -------------Long-Ings---------- Would be tempted to give Adams another go down the middle, but seems out of favour at the moment, and 4th choice which I find odd...problems on the training pitch? I'd also drop Redmond, and look to bring him on if we're struggling, not at the races recently.

I couldn't disagee more with the OP. He's told it as it is, and has mentioned it before. Probably has tried to keep it in house, but if he claims he deserves to be in the first XI and the manager doesn't agree I have no problem with it. Clearly his personal life is an issue, and unless he grows up a bit and sorts it out, he wont make it in the premier league.

3-1 Saints, COYS!!!

Josip Vuković?

Very positive appointment IMO. Let's hope he can work some wonders.

Was linked to Burnley in the summer, but still at Genk... https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9501865/joakim-maehle-burnley-genk-denmark-denmark/

Let’s be honest, we’re not going to go with 4 attacking players at Arsenal away, maybe we will be Norwich at home, but they’ll kill us if we attack them at the Emirates. The logic would be to play 352 with Romeu holding and Hojbjerg and JWP linking between the defence and Redmond / Ings.

Ideally, keep it tight and try and hit them on the counter, but we're not very good at containing teams so we might as well have a go.

Absolutely bonkers this wasn't all sorted out back in the summer. Such a mess

When we're at home against teams we should be getting a win...one of the issues is that our best 4 players all basically play in the same position, Ings, Redmond, Djenepo, Boufal, then you have Adams too who probably deserves a chance. --------------------McCarthy Valery---Bednarek-------Yoshida---Bertrand ------------Romeu--------Hojbjerg -Redmond/Boufal-----------Djenepo/Redmond -------------Ings--------Adams

Lets be honest, they either throw the towel in and accept relegation and bring in players and possibly a manager who will be best placed to get us promoted, or we have a go and bring in 3/4. We're terrible atmm and without improvements either within the squad currently or by bringing in new players, we're down.

Absolutely not true...and not what the article says....original article below...
