saint1977 Posted 14 March, 2018 Share Posted 14 March, 2018 So this one could be behind closed doors? Anyone heard anything? Got a feeling it won’t be but if it was, would that be to Saints advantage or not? Ok, if W Ham score early you won’t have their fans backing but on the hand if Saints score early - ok, I am being hypothetical here! - their fans could turn quite nastily again, creating a hostile atmosphere their players are scared in and freeze. Would certainly rather have someone like a Hughes who has managed Manchester derbies etc than a petrified Pellegrino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 14 March, 2018 Share Posted 14 March, 2018 It's going to be a nervy experience, isn't it. Best players in their best positions. McCarthy Cedric Yoshida Hoedt Bertrand Lemina Romeu Sims Gabbiadini Boufal Austin/Carillo Hoj. Jack S. Hesketh JWP Long Davo Tadic. Are there 7 League games left or 8?

There's some sort of bromance relationship between the FA and WHU. I guess it has something to do with 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 14 March, 2018 Share Posted 14 March, 2018 Doubtful, after all they got away with the Tevez/Mascharano thing years ago with a fine. Plus they have that grinning fool Sir Trevor Brooking as their trump card, with both feet set in concrete up to his knees in both camps. They will just get a little tickle on the wrists, rather than being made an example of to nip that kind of behavior in the bud.............. being a cynic in my old age a behind closed doors match would be very much in their favour.

saintwbu Posted 14 March, 2018 Share Posted 14 March, 2018 The biggest advantage we have is a full stadium, having this game behind closed doors would be absolutely catastrophic for us. Charlie Austin back for this would be ideal because he ****ing hates West Ham. If ever there was a game that needs us to come flying out the traps and grab an early goal it’s this one, that place will go into meltdown and we could run riot.

Saint_clark Posted 17 March, 2018 Share Posted 17 March, 2018 Tadic on the left, Redmond on the right, Sims through the middle behind Gabbi please. Sims has shown some decent goal threat recently testing the goalkeeper in every game he's played, so I have no qualms about sticking with one up top as long as Sims is given licence to run beyond the striker.

Saints Warrior Posted 17 March, 2018 Share Posted 17 March, 2018 Its a win or bust game as I see it. Saints need some momentum and this surely must be the game to get 3 points. Pundit have said we don't have as hard run in as other teams but I'm not sure about that. West Ham could do anything, a great performance OR another shamble, another demo looks to be on the cards so that will disrupt the fans and maybe the players. There is a lot of pressure on Saints after todays result so I think we will go all out and attack, maybe the direct long ball Stoke tactics will be applied to at least get the ball away from our keeper.

Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk I'd go along with that, having watched today's game. Gabbi seemed to be playing well off the shoulder of the last man but there was a bit of space in between the 2 strikers and the 2 CM, which would have suited Sims IMO.

Jack Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 Tadic needs to be on the left or not at all. Slowest/most indirect player in the league but has been known to link well with Bertrand as he’ll do his running for him. I haven’t seen anything from Carillo to make me want to see him play again. Get Sims, Boufal and JWP interchanging behind Gabbi with solidity from Lemina and Hoj and I think we’ve got a good chance. For big parts of today we looked like we were strangers, kept making the same runs or running into each other. Lots to iron out before the next game.

Get them turned towards their own goal. Get and early goal, and the crowd will turn against them. Edit: Nurse, where's my pills. I'm getting delusions of being Dave Merrington again.

JRM Posted 20 March, 2018 Share Posted 20 March, 2018 Does anyone have a summary of which of our players have been called up for international duty? Lemina? Gabbiadini? Hughes should still have the core of the team to work with over next two weeks, especially if usual international players Davis and Yoshida are starting to rejoin training.
