Pilchards Posted 5 April, 2011 Share Posted 5 April, 2011 Always wanted to do one of these....! Let's have a look at what midfielders could be out. Spider, Stephens, Lallana & Chamberlain. Those that would do a job for us, Gobern, Dickson & Guly. Bit thin however we plenty to offer in defence and attack. My team Davis Richardson Fonte Jaidi Harding Guly Hammond© Chaplow Lallana/Dickson Barnard and Lambert Going for a tight 2-1 win with Forte hitting a winner.

SaintBobby Posted 5 April, 2011 Share Posted 5 April, 2011 I'm actually treating this game as a bonus game. Think we could well win, but I wouldn't be miserable with a point. If we have players who are marginal on fitness (Lallana? Harding?), I'd probably rest them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K,Billy's supersound Posted 5 April, 2011 Share Posted 5 April, 2011 i would plum for davis frazer fonte jaidi dickson forte hammond chaplow lallana barnard lambert bart,butterfield,seaborne,harding,guly,gobern,connelly if lallana isnt fit then harding at left back dickon pushed into midfield. i would have played stephens ahead of chaplow but i'm guessing he now won't be fit.

Have seen fron Adkins that one good performance doesn't guarantee anything so expect Harding will be back. Think the way dickson got forward yesterday means he would be the obvious replacement if lallana cant make it in time. No need to risk stephens even if he might be ok as if Hammond gets suspended then we'll definitely need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctoroncall Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Expecting us to win this one which will take a bit of pressure away from the Rochdale match which should be an open game anyway with them pushing for the play-offs. Agree with Pichards' line up, especially if Lallana isn't 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Hopefully we can get the win we want, whilst 2 draws from these next 2 tricky fixtures wouldn't be disastrous. Heart says 2-1 Saints, head says oh sod the head 2-1 Saints a draw or win for Posh & were 2nd Sat night. The door was kicked wide open last night, lets finish the job and barge right on through it to promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 6 points the obvious target from next two games but 4 points would be ok as long as we follow up by beating Bristol Rovers.

kelkel31 Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 this game is big purely for the reason that the rochdale game looks a tougher prospect and going into That game with a little bit of pressure off will be a big help for that game. win here coupled with a non huddersfield win puts us 2nd and would mean that any points from the rochdale game would put the other 2 in a position were they almost certainly have to win their remaining 5 games to get second as our run in after the brighton match looks very winnable!

saints-cris Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 A few weeks ago I saw this as a tough game where I'd take a draw.. but i think we can go there and win on saturday, and hope that Posh and Hudds can draw.. would be perfect for us. Win and give ourselves some breathing room for Rochdale away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakovnetski Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 This. Both Rochdale and Orient are on a mission to catch Bournemouth so I expect them and their crowds to be really up for it regardless of who they are playing. 6 points from these 2 games would be a tough ask but not impossible. 3 or 4 points essential to get past Hudds.

M271 Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Lallana looked fine last night, walking down the tunnel without any assistance. He will play. I hope that you are right, however if there is the slightest doubt I would rather rest him for one match and let him fully recover than play him and if injury gets worse out for 2 weeks or more, at this busy time of the season means missing 4 or 5 matches minimum. But I guess that's always the dilema when playing players not fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartarus112 Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Will be interesting to see if Adkins throws Chaplow on in place of stephens are some dire recent performances and the crowd turning on him against Charlton. Could this be Gobern's time to step up? or will we Guly played more centrally? I'd plum for Davis Butterfield Fonte Martin Harding Hammond Dickson Guly Lambert Lallana Barnard Looking at prior rest patterns for Jaidi, this would seem the most likely game for him to be dropped so he's fit for Rochdale on tuesday.

SNSUN Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 I'm more worried about the Rochdale game for some reason, but this'll still be tough. With the bewbs behind us though, we cannot lose. I reckon it's our attackers that will shine these last few games, a 3-1 favourite shoreline would be lovely. Davis Butterfield Fonte Jaidi Dickson Hammond Guly Lallana Forte Lambert Barnard In an inverted Christmas tree sort of shape would be my attacking line up for the game!

Tartarus112 Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Butters can play CM effectively so he might be worth a shout whilst Richardson continues at RB? Could be, however Adkins seems to favour Butterfield and Richardson wasn't outstanding against Charlton. Also Richardson's more attacking so less likely to play away from home.

fanimal Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Orient have got a good home record, only lost 3x same as us, so no pushover, but I think our support will make the difference on saturday; Rochdale will be interesting in that we both will be playing our 4th game in 11 days, so neither can claim tiredness, but our bigger squad should prevail. This run in is like the opposite of the Great Escape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Tricky game.. A draw would be a decent result... We simply cannot lose.. Saying that, we are on a great bit if form... So 3-1 to saints for me.. Will also say that 3 points from the next two games is essential.. 4 points would be very nice. 6 points and we will have one foot in the NPC and thinking about revenge on Pompey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Where are Saints supporters going for drink ? Just about all over central London. London Bridge is a favoured destination but best avoided Saturday as Leeds are playing Millwall, Liverpool Street will be well populated with Saints fans but you'll also have Spurs and Stoke in the area.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Every game is a must win game - it's stupid to think otherwise with at least three clubs coming into a run of form and quite capable of pinching our 2nd place if we falter.
