Saints v Boscome

No way Hoedt should play in this, by some distance our worse player and a liability.

Officially yes but they’re still selling tickets that people have returned so there’s a few available still

Perhaps about 5,000 of them after the Chelsea match

We really need to be the 12th man tomorrow as the Bournemouth fans will have the whole goal to cheer the team on.

We should win this tomorrow and we really need too as well otherwise we’re doomed.

The biggest thing is will the players turn up and play for the shirt?

2-1. Fingers crossed.

4-3 I reckon.

1-2 to Bournemouth.

This will be after a battling performance from us but will will get hit on a counter after putting them up a lot of pressure

Amazingly you can get odds against the draw/Bournemouth double chance and around 4/1 for a Bournemouth win.

Their away record must be ****e!

Come on Saints, today is the day you simply MUST win.

Nothing else will do.

Win, and the momentum MIGHT just see us do just enough to dig us out of this hole we are in.

Lose - the fat lady will be on the doorstep warming up her vocal chords....

You owe it to us suffering fans to turn in a win - that means no Lemina in the squad please - I saw how much you cared last week, you lazy ***t.

Come on Saints...

This has 1-1 written all over it. Defoe will score for Bournemouth

When was the last time we had a convincing win - Everton at home? I've forgotten the feeling! Imagine if we had a big win today...we can dream!

Eddie Howe was in Poole maternity hospital at 1030 last night, so hopefully his minds on something else. My old lady spoke to him, but like an idiot didn’t ask what he was doing there, or anything about today

Yeh bet364 even giving 3/1 for the draw and 4/1 for a bompey win, almost worth a pony on each !

Came through the station - heavy police presence..

Same , Double your money at least if we don't win !

Today feels like a must win game.

Drab draw, or a flattering victory which becomes meaningless when other results go against us.

We'll go a goal down, then throw caution to the wind and run out winners in an end to end thriller.

4-2

Please god.

FYI - live on Sky 402 for non UK viewers

Even through I can’t see us winning, given the other parallels with 2005, we will either lose 4-1 or this could be our Norwich game

Got to start with Maya and Stephens in a 4-2-3-1. Play Long on the right but tell him to get him and down give it everything for 60mins. Tadic behind Austin, and Redmond on the left.

Hojbjerg and Romeo or Lemina in front of the back four.

Tell them all to go for it otherwise the longer this goes on the worst we will be.

1-2 to Bournemouth.

I think we will lose 2-1 but given the parallels with 2005, would not surprise me to see a Norwich win or a Pompey type defeat given they are a local rival

Why on earth would we drop Bednarek for someone who can’t head a ball?

Very little confidence we win. I suspect a goal from them on the counter as we try to push for the win. I would love us to turn in a huge performance and a big score...say 4-2.

McCarthy

Maya Hoedt Bednarek

Cedric Lemina Romeu Bertrand

Redmond Tadic

Austin

so 3 at the back it is. meh. I would have played JWP and PEH over Lemina with a back 4 but who cares, just need a fu**ing win

I don't agree with that team really. We don't need three centre backs and Hojbjerg should be starting ahead of Lemina

Wonder what minute our woeful defenders will hand them their first goal...

The 11th

Given how attacking Bournemouth's wing backs are, there could be a lot of space for Tadic and Redmond to get at them.

Hojberg offers very little and Lemina looked much better second half last week.

Our only loss to Bournemouth was when we set up with 3 CBs - Howe thoroughly exposed the weaknesses in that fomation.

I'd have had Stephens in for Hoedt, Jwp for Lemina and Hojburg for Redmond !

Surprised at that, expected us to return to a back 4 and press them further up the pitch. Oh well, let's hope we see a better performance from the full backs as they are key today.

Yep, agree completely. Lemina’s been gash recently.

Lemina plays again. Must have been some contract, that one

And that team selection shows exactly why we are going down. Tadic, Hoedt, Lemina, Romeu all absolutely terrible.

Players that play for the shirt (JWP, Sims, Stephens, PEH) all on the bench.

WHile HUghes is not as bad as Pellegrino (no-one could be) he is still a terrible, terrible manager.

Hopefully this is Redmond on the right and Tadic on the left to get early balls into the box for Austin to attack. Redmond has actually looked very good when played out wide right and given the freedom to run to the by line.

Austin's record against Bournemouth is pretty good, fancy him to bag a couple today.

We won't keep a clean sheet, that's for certain. I fancy another 4-3 game.

Good to see Redmond in as far as I'm concerned he could be the flux to get us going again

Bit unfair no one could accuse Romeu of not playing for the shirt always puts in a shift even if his end product can be dodgy.

Do the police in town think we're playing the skates today?!

TSN just showed Krueger hobnobbing on the way to his seat.

TSN really talking up this “derby”. Lol. Skates all but forgotten...
