Shroppie Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Not a happy hunting ground. I go mainly for beer at the Wellington in Brum and the Indian BBQ at The Vine. But I do remember Lallana getting his first Saints goal there to save us a point. Hope Davis is fit, otherwise we're really struggling at DM. He had a great game last night and is very influential. I guess PEH will start, if not with Davis then could be anyone's guess. Reed? JWP? (Would rather leave him where he is), Stephens? Caceres? Really glad we got the three points last night. Wouldn't like to be going into this one anxiously looking over our shoulders. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Well assuming Bertrand, Boufal, Gabbi, Davis, VVD and Austin are still injured/unfit and Romeu is suspended I think we might struggle a bit against a WBA side in good form this season.

st alex Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 According to the Daily Star, the players are complaining how they are coming in for a muscle rubs and ending up missing 4 matches for bad injuries. I'd be embarrassed to admit to reading the Daily Star. I think it's safe to assume that report is about as accurate as any of the posters on here. Most likely that was written ages ago and then they insert a team name based on who's got the best injury list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fez Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Believe it or not, away to a team above us in the table and with more injuries than them, we're favourites on Betfair. Saints 2.62, WBA 3.05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Forster Cedric Stephens Yoshida Bertrand JEP PEH Long Tadic Redmond Gabba I think we'all struggle defensively without Romeu and Davis so I'd like to see us go with an attacking line up and try to outscore them. Subs: Hassen, Pied, Caceres, Clasie, Reed, Sims, JRod As an aside, the number of injuries and suspensions to key players is ridiculous; VVD, Romeu, Davis, Boufal, Austin (plus Bertrand and Gabba may not be fit either). We'll do well to get anything against a decent WBA side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Believe it or not, away to a team above us in the table and with more injuries than them, we're favourites on Betfair. Saints 2.62, WBA 3.05 Rightly so. WBA have somewhat taken advantage of a few under par teams this season. Squad quality wise they should be below Stoke, Us, WHU, Leicester and probably Palace. They were 14th last season and probably can't believe the luck right now. Everton samsies.... Some of the top 6 have underperformed allowing them a chance to steal a top 6 spot.

trousers Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Based on several assumptions (i.e. Bertrand not injured, Davis out injured, Gabbiadini back from injury), I'd go with... Forster Bertrand Yoshida Stephens Cedric Clasie JWP Hojbjerg Tadic Redmond JRod Subs: Hassan, McQueen, Caceres, Reed, Sims/Boufal, Long, Gabbiadini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Saints Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Centre mid will be lightweight without Romeu so move Stephens into holding midfield and bring in Caceres at centre half. Need as much physicality as possible, especially defending set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Going to that pub with the curry house before the game, a few beers and a curry afterwards, and no doubt sh*tting through the eye of a needle on Sunday.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 WBA set piece danger going to be a major problem for us. Palace direct style caused us problems last night and we aint the biggest/toughest team to deal with ariel bombardment. Midfield without Romeu and Davis is a big concern. PEH was woeful when he come on last night but tbf he is going to be ring rusty. As a team we concede far too many freekics in our own third, cant do that against teams like WBA. That said Romeu is one of the worse culprits as much as he has been great for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we coped pretty well considering the bald idiot with the whistle was happy for Bent "elbow" to smash into us and grapple everytime the ball went near him but that is fat sam`s doing, he asks players to do this because sometimes it is let go but not as much as the this East fool let it pass on Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Going to be very tricky without Rom and Davis. I, guessing Hoj and Clasie will start in their place. Both really need to put in a performance. Other than that just J Rod for Long, unless Gabbi is 100%. No need to rush him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintwbu Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 We could potentially go into this game without Van Dijk, Gabbiadini, Austin, Bertrand, Romeu - That is literally all of our best/most effective players haha. We really haven't had much luck on the injury front this season, so to be looking at 8th and having been in a cup final i'd say we've had a good season in reflection!

simo Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Should be another decent win , I don't think I'd have 1 player in their team except maybe Livermore for the bench !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Going to be a big game, at least a draw needed to keep WBA in catching distance. Definitely stick with the same attacking trio of long, Redmond and tadic as far as i'm concerned. Midfield is obviously going to need changes especially if Davis is out. You'd think it would be Hojberg and Clasie based on recent benches rather than Reed. Bertrand back in at the back if he's fit but otherwise keep the defence.

Dusic Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Harry Reed will probably make a rare appearance on the bench (and might get on when Clasie cramps after an hour). Needs a loan move next year though, fear he won't quite make the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 Hopefully that means Bertrand is back ( no slight on McQueen who I thought was good last night) going to be a big ask to get anything playing Clasie and Hoj in the middle together. Clearly Romeu is a big miss, but Clasie and Hoj can do the job despite lack of recent playing time. I'd be ok with Harry Reed in with Hoj. Reed seems to have paid a heavy price for one poor half. He has proved himself in games like this several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 6 April, 2017 Share Posted 6 April, 2017 tough one to call. Incredible how we are still managing to get some decebt results with the players we have available.

CB Fry Posted 7 April, 2017 Share Posted 7 April, 2017 Boufal will come good. The problem is that he isn't made to be an impact sub, looks like he needs to work himself into a match. But he hasn't justified a starting place. So we probably need to wait for the inevitable injury to Redmond or Dusan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he hasn't justified a starting place. So we probably need to wait for the inevitable injury to Redmond or Dusan. Boufal doesn't work hard enough... he can get away with that when he's going past 4 players & creating chances... less so when he's lacking confidence & not doing that.

Funny, I read this a lot, but when he plays I usually see him make at least one or two lung-busting runs to try and win back possession, and that's just in the 10-15 minutes he's given at the end of the game. At the moment he's frustrating because he tries too much, not because he tries too little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
