Saint_clark Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 Gotta be a win - hopefully a nice 3 or 4-0 leading up to some tricky games. I'm gonna go for 4-0, Lambert twice, Lallana and Fonte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomer Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 Fonte & Martin are the future central defensive partnership IMO, lets field the most attack minded side we can and go for the throat with that in mind I am going for 5 - 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints-cris Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 Early goal and we win this one with ease. At home we've conceded the least in the division so no excuses to let them snatch anything.

Mr Dad Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 I like the enthusiasm of those predicting 3 or 4 nil! I'll be there with my sons shouting/singing for Saints. The 3 or 4 nil will be good for our goal difference which could make a difference with things so close at the top of the table. Yeovil normally bring a good bunch of noisy supporters. Could be a good atmosphere for a mid-week game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Durman Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 Yes but Jaidi for me has been our best player recently and would definately play him awy at bournemouth. His temperament is fab and what a signing he is. Jaidi made quite a few bad mistakes today and cost us a goal at Walsall. Martin should be given an opportunity against Yeovil. Then perhaps Fonte could concentrate on his own game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his fault on yues but a bit unfortunate and other than that was great. Hes nakered I think fonte doesnt have to do so much when jaidi is there. Jaidi is a first defender and fonte isnt. At posh font had far too much to do so dont think that. Jaidi also scored last week. There was a situation when fonte was skinned vs swindon nd jaidi put a great tackle into cover. How mny goals have we conceded since posh with jaidi in team? Hardly any what 3 in 6 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 Just been looking at our results and except for Carlisle away if we score we don't lose.In 8 out of 9 defeats this season we didn't score.So if we can score early on tuesday night I will feel a lot more confident.3 points is an absolute must and hope a couple of our rivals slip up as most of them have tricky fixtures.That will keep the pressure on Bournemouth for next saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Strover Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 Feck me there's a lot of over-confident fans on this Forum. Apparently Yeovil Town are only turning up and hoping to keep the score below four. I hope the players don't have the same attitude. Should we win expect a hard fought tough victory and maybe only one goal in it. Seessssh you'd have thunk as fans we'd have learned by now.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 It's all getting very tense. Peoples perspective of where we'll end up seems to be quite fluid and seems to change game after game. We're right in the thick of it with a great opportunity but I'm a little cautious as the team could be playing better so never quite sure what to expect. But I am still positive about it all as to be where we are while not playing brilliantly for the past month is an opportunity. This is of course assuming we'll play better and there aren't bigger issues at hand. 2-0 win on Tuesday for me, even if the performance isn't there the momentum will be for Bournemouth away in a week!

dubai_phil Posted 6 March, 2011 Share Posted 6 March, 2011 We never learn do we. The Walsall build up thread was full of we're gonna score 3 or 4 gonna be a piece of cake, blah blah blah. The Colchester Build up was worried about the game, tough team bogey side. And look back at Tranmere & Notts County build ups as well. The fact is that it seems pretty clear that we as fans change our tune according to the league position & the result in our last match, and at the same time the TEAM appears to do the same. So from now until the end of the season we have to grind out results, we have to battle for the right to play our football and we have to understand that luck, bad bounces of the ball and inconsistent refereeing will all have an impact. IF we go out with that mindset and battle then we will break down soms teams and wallop them, but more important we will pick up wins when our passing game cannot be imposed due to conditions, opposition tactics, referees or sheer plain bad luck. I don't give a damn how we win between now and the end of the season but I sure as hell would take a 1-0 win in a rubbish game in all of them.

torsaint Posted 6 March, 2011 Share Posted 6 March, 2011 Just to clear something up. Jaidi is there as the main first clearance defender (90% headers). Fonte should be tidying up behind him and covering breaking forwards. Jaidi is NOT there for the football. Neither Seaborne nor Martin can be relied on for the first clearing header so the defence can come under pressure and Fonte's role changes.

fanimal Posted 6 March, 2011 Share Posted 6 March, 2011 I would start with N'Guessan and keep Alex on the bench, tokeep him as fresh as possible for Saturday where he will have more space I reckon. Bournemouth will be caught in 2 minds as to how they play against us IMO - sit back/counter or play openly and risk being played off the park?

Bournemouth will be caught in 2 minds as to how they play against us IMO - sit back/counter or play openly and risk being played off the park? I was thinking about this. I think I would prefer to start with Ox, get a couple of goals and then take him off after 60 though. If we start with N'Guesan and he doesn't beat 10 players within the first five minutes the usual synaptically challenged element of the crowd will start getting restless and throw their rusks on the floor and there will be a danger the atmosphere gets nervy. I would bring Martin in for Jaidi but otherwise start with the same team. I would look to bring Ox and Lambert off after 60-70 minutes if we are comfortable.

Saints win 4-0:) WIFM Cup overfull on Devon ale Otters? I wish I could agree. We're hardly playing to our full potential when players' form remains inconsistant, our forwards are missing too many chances, and we concede possession as we did at Walsall (according to the BBC website). And we are weakened so long as Morgan remains injured. I have to agree with FF that something is missing. When Dean is at his best, as he was yesterday, we usually do well. His role in midfield is crucial to our success. When we secure more 1-0 and 2.0 wins I will heartily agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
