bender Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 £12 a ticket, two in form Premier teams. Defo a sellout for me. I'm queuing online. Hope I get a ticket. Got my ticket.

oldsarum Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 This is a difficult one to call......In over 40 years of supporting Saints i am for the first time starting to believe we could be a top 4 club. This squad of players believe it is achieveable and are working incredibly hard for one another. We are doing what the top clubs do, play brilliantly at times and still grind out results when our backs are against it. My biggest concern is the same as alot on here....the depth of our squad for the run in. You can bet we will need to at least keep up with our current form to keep top 4 and to do that i believe we need our best players....those that have stood in have done a fantastic job. For theses reasons for the Palace game i would be sorely tempted to rest players like Pelle, Fonte, Clyne, Bertrand. I'm sorry if i appear selfish because i have seen Saints lift the F A Cup, but i honestly think Champions League qualification and everything it would bring to Southampton is more important than the F.A.Cup in todays football. where were you in the 80's when we were a top 2 club and could easiliy have won the double if it hadn't been for Adrian Heath and dropping 3 points away to Everton before the semi final in 83/84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckenham Saint Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 He really isn't. JWP already a significantly better player. That isn't true, Davis is better at winning the ball back and retaining possesion in our half as well as moving forward quickly. Ward Prowse has been better at threading the final ball through and set pieces this year, but Davis is pivotal to us doing well. Ridiculously under rated by some...

Lighthouse Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 Got my ticket. Looking forward to this but I'd still not risk a couple of our more important players, namely Fonte, Forster and Pelle. I think if any of those get injured it would simply jeopardise the rest of out season. I'd go with Davis Clyne - McCarthy - Gardos - Targett Reed - Cork Elia - JWP - Tadic Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 I'll be in Milan watching Inter v Torino for the wife's 30th (though strangely my birthday also happens to be whilst we're away), so missing this one. I'd expect us to put the usual cup team out, a couple of rotations and a strong core. Forster; Clyne, Fonte, Gardos, Targett; Cork, Reed; Ward-Prowse, Long, Elia; Pelle. Subs: K Davis, McCarthy, Bertrand, S Davis, Tadic, Isgrove, Seager (or Gallagher, depending on rumours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 Bought mine on line after 5 minute queue 2 for block 34 (me and the lad) The £2 booling fee is a bit of a bummer when I read my confirmation that mentioned the print at home option.

Not sure over what period you are counting "form" but over the last 5 games, we have the best form in the league, so we can afford a dip and still finish 4th (or even 3rd if the dip is mnior!). I am in the campt that would prefer a top 3 (or 4) finish over FA Cup glory though, so would prob rest a few players, with a view to beating Palace if possible of course. Don't wanna give it away!
