LaptopSaint Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 One game at a time. We really really need to win this one. In fact we need another run of league wins and I hope pompey, wembley etc don't make the team lose sight of that. Brentford are in that group we need to catch up and overtake in the next six weeks if we're going to get to the play-offs. And it's time we have to start beating teams in the top half of the table consistently. I reckon Rickie and Barnard up top and then maybe rest Rickie against Stockport.

samoakley Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Long as the players are focused we should win this one and IMO this is a bigger game then the skates game if we lose this we can probs kiss goodbye a decent playoffs postion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1Minus10 Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Reckon we'll have an entire new back 4 for this game - Otsemobor, Fonte, Seabourne, Harding. Midfield of Wotton James Antonio and Lallana, Lambo and either Connolly or Barnard up front. Need 2 wins fron next 2 games really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Really looking forward to the Fonte and Jaidi partnership. Think those two will be able to handle any front man in this league.

SNSUN Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 CHoosing a first team now is nigh on impossible. I really pity Pardew's position now. This is a must win game, as the League is where we really need to concentrate our efforts. For me, I'd have: Davis Thomas Fonte Jaidi Mills Antonio James Wotton Lallana Lambert Barnard Subs: Bart, Seaborne, Harding, Waigo, Connolly, Holmes, Gillett We're on a high currently too. We'll win this IMO, 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northam soul Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 So where is everyone drinking and i assume the best train journey is from clapham to brentford ? rather than going into waterloo then getting the overground back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 So where is everyone drinking and i assume the best train journey is from clapham to brentford ? rather than going into waterloo then getting the overground back. yes, the train you get on at Clapham Junction to Brentford comes from waterloo, so you might as well just change at Clapham. Clapham to Brentford takes 20mins, trains leave every 15 mins, at .47 and .17 mins past the hour. There are 4 pubs (one on each corner of the ground) have a read of this, gives some decent advice. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/brentford/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Reckon Lambert would love to play against Stockport, since he made just under 100 appearances for them in his spell there. Interestingly, Lambert actually made 98 League appearances for them and scored 18 League goals, and for us he's made 24 appearances in the League and scored 18 goals.

saintrich Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 From what Pardew said before Ipswich, sounded like he's resting both Wotton and Lambert against Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopkins Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Problem with resting Lambert here is the Brentford keeper is probably the best in the league and since he's been playing for them they have improved massively at the back. They are hard to beat and I think were going to need Lambert at least on the bench incase we can't break them down. I fully expect us to win but it won't be easy. This is massive in my household. I'll be going and one of my housemates will be in the Brentford end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hard to beat and I think were going to need Lambert at least on the bench incase we can't break them down. The Polish lad on loan from Arsenal? Local paper on Friday suggested that his loan from Arse had expired along with John Bostock's. Edit - just checked their OS and he extended on Friday so is available tomorrow. Wenger you b*rstard!

Micky Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Thank god for the OP - we are in danger of losing the plot and being dragged down by our 'obscession' with that lot down the road. Lets not lose sight of the bigger picture - give me the three points from Brentford, these are the bread and butter games - they are the games that are going to have the most impact on our destiny. A cup tie with those down the road is great - but we need to make inroads towards at least challenging for a playoff place now - the league is the priority.

S-Clarke Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 This is a massive game for us, and one which we cannot afford to loose. we're now only 3 pts off the bottom 4, to slide back into there again would finish any playoff hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Luke Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 My mate who is a Brentford fan is very pessimistic about their chances - I'll be in the home end with him and few mates who are also Brentford fans and 1 other Saint.

Leslie Charteris Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Ten points from the next four games would be a real boost - anything away at Norwich would be great. I reckon that is the next big test and more important than either cup in the big scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there are players such as Bart, Ostemebor, Gillett, Gobern, Perry, Wotton, Connolly, Saga, etc, who could all be called upon. What a lovely position to be in.

He does look tired. Better to be on the bench in case he is need, but I doubt it. I would play Papa alongside Barnard assuming Connolly is still injured. Untried before, but well worth the punt imho. Papa has the speed to complement Barnard's goalscoring opportunism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 If we are going to rest Lambert I would have thought Saturday against Stockport would make more sense. We need to win at Brentford. We have a load of fresh players available, Lallana has a groin strain and James could be rested. I suspect James who has to play will be the right midfield although I hope not.
