ToreSF Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 (edited) Really looking forward to this one, as it should be a open free flowing game between two passing sides. Will be very difficult to get a result, though. Edited 13 April, 2013 by ToreSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 We might get lucky but I think we will more than likely be taught a football lesson. Swansea 4 Saints 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 Good time to play them. They should finish top half, they have a cup win and European football already sorted for next year. Zilch to play for in terms of their season. Mentally, no matter how often they say they want to finish as well as they can etc, you do drop off. When you have pretty much nothing to aim for competitively then you do drop off mentally, there's' no doubt about that Reckon we could get a nice win there.

Nexstar Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 They have nothing to play for but will still give us a game. At home so they'll be going for the win and a more open style of play should help our game. A draw will be another good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 Quite looking forward to this one, and will be interesting to see how we shape up against a similar side with a similar footballing philosophy. They've also got some very good players; Michu is everything we hoped Ramirez would be, and Ashley Williams has been excellent in their defence, the pair of them have been instrumental in such a successful season. Fair play to Laudrup, he's taken Swansea on after a brilliant season last year and improved them. MP says he's looking forward to this one too.

itchen_dan Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 Gonna be a good game I think. Going on recent form, we should beat them. Since their cup win, they've been pretty poor going by their standards and we've gone the opposite way and been different class at times.

The Kraken Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 They've only taken 5 points since we drew up there. Sounds like a proper Saints banana skin to me. God I hope not. I do have a bit of a dislike for Stoke. Very well run, do lots for the community, but spend millions and millions on playing god awful football. Although I'll always laugh at the image of a naked Tony Pulis offering out Beattie after a game in the changing rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 Our form is good, there's isn't. They're at home, both teams play good football. I can see this ending in a draw, which would be another useful point, though if our ambition is a top half finish, we need to beat them. More spark in attack from us than today and we'll have the 3 points we need to level with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 14 April, 2013 Share Posted 14 April, 2013 As others have said it should be a good game with 2 teams capable of playing fast flowing football, and hopefully the virus will have moved well away from the club so a good weeks training can be had. Added bonus is for our Daughter who is at Uni in Carmarthen just down the road, so she gets to see Saints at least once this season when she thought for the first time since she was 7 that she would not see Saints play at least once in a season.

norwaysaint Posted 14 April, 2013 Share Posted 14 April, 2013 Do we need to beat them 4-0 or 5-0 to go above them? Anything else would be a huge let down really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 14 April, 2013 Share Posted 14 April, 2013 Do we need to beat them 4-0 or 5-0 to go above them?

I work there during the week and the local fans have been giving them real stick in the local paper for dropping off after their Cup win. It will be a great game between 2 good footballing sides. The big plus is they are staying at the same hotel as me! Looking forward to seeing MoPo in the bar and finding out how good his English is :-) 2-2 draw for me.

bpsaint Posted 14 April, 2013 Share Posted 14 April, 2013 Can't disagree with what most others have said really, should be an open game with a few goals which I'd like to all be scored by us but am expecting a draw as its not the easiest place to go. Doesn't seem too long ago since I went there and Lee Trundle was their superstar, built themselves in to a decent football club since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 14 April, 2013 Share Posted 14 April, 2013 I thought QPR were to be fair. Very true - meant in terms of the gap between perception and reality.

Bet we are close to 17th than you think at the end of the season. 17th this year would still not achieve the 2nd "YO"! after achieving the first "YO" last year by coming up! Anyway I believe 17th was your prediction for our first year back in the championship last year so wherever we manage to finish from here on, in this year, your predictions will show a year on year significant improvement.
