Stu Man Do Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Adam Blackmore on twitter saying he expects Ramirez to be on the bench and mentions injuries to change the team so possibly shaw as mentioned on here? I'm half expecting to see Boruc pop up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARCELONASAINT Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Starting to have a bad feeling about today if Ramirez and Shaw are out. Probably just nerves getting the better of me because this is such an important game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half expecting to see Boruc pop up as well. We don't have a choice but to put Boruc or Kelvin in IMO. Gazza started ok for us but has looked more and more out of his depth.

ollysaints1 Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 I dont think people should be too worried, most expected Ramirez to be out and Shaw's injury will give Fox a chnace to show he shouls be in the starting XI. Be positive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 I Be positive!! I am positive, always am until the game starts....then, well it depends. I must be one of the few to have thought we looked OK last week, bit more punch in front of goal and we would have got something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Worse thing for Adkins to do today is to make unforced team changes when there could be 1 or 2 out naturally anyway. Don't want to be in position where nearly half the team are not used to playing with each other in what is a hugely important game. I just hope that Gaston is OK to start and that the Shaw issue is one they're keeping close to their chests - if it's true he's out then expect Fox to start.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 If we revert to 442 I will be more nervous our chances of winning however not sure we have adequate replacement for ramirez. He could put lallana in that role and bring in mayuka to play on the right with JP switching to the left. Davis has good shot on him but not sure he has the craft to play that role. 442 more likely I think with jayrod coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeves was clueless vs Everton and especially Norwich. agrees/w saint armstrong. Reeves was miles out of his depth when he came on against norwich, definitely one for the future but Foxys the better option by far at the moment.

ToreSF Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Not particularly enamoured with that starting XI to be honest. Would have put Boruc in goal, and if Ramirez is fit enough to be on the bench, he should be fit enough to start. Don't agree with that. If he is 80% fit, he is fit enough to play 30-40 min, but not the whole match. He came back from Uruguay yesterday (?), so guess he has a bit of jet lag. Also he hasn't trained with the team this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studentsaint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 If Ramirez is good enough to be on the bench he should be playing, far and away our most technically gifted player Don't agree. He went home due to unfortunate circumstances and returned yesterday. Adkins may have him on the bench as he isn't sure of his mental state. If he needs him, I think it will be more obvious as to whether he is up for having an impact on this game or if even during the game his head isn't in it.
