Sarisbury Saint Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 On 12/03/2022 at 08:51, Saint Fan CaM said: Just the type of team we lose against. They’re a team that likes to sit back and break quickly - we’re the mugs that like to get caught with our pants down in a high press in our final third, while fannying around recycling the ball as the front line stands static waiting for an incisive pass that never comes. Jeez, I’m so cynical nowadays! To win this game we need Perraud behind Moi and KWP on the right. We need Broja to link well with Stuey. We need JWP to pass forwards at least 30% of the time. We need to transition the ball from Forster to the front line much quicker. We need Valery (yeah I know) next to Salisu (he’s quicker in mind and body than Bednarek or Stephens). We need an early goal. We can win this, but I’m never confident even playing the worst teams in the league. I’m going 2-2. Couldn’t agree more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has clearly transformed himself into a potentially decent CH but will need games to develop. So far none of our CH pairings have worked except bizarrely Stephens and Valery in the cup. Maybe three at the back today, that will put real pressure on their creaking defence, but equally it could play straight into the Rodgster's hands. He has won the tactical battle against Ralph on too many occasions for my liking. I suspect we may also see Redmond for Moi today, that will annoy a few but we have mix it up a little. Maybe Redmond, KWP, Perraud, and the Armstrongs, running around like rats on speed will unsettle them more than two big guys up front. Saints should have enough for this game .... oh when will I learn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 I would expect Watford to attack us, draws for them aren't really of much use. They would have noted that after two defeats in a row, we are maybe tired and short on confidence. Think Hodgson would have marked this down as a game they can win.

SNSUN Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 Second SMS trip of the week, third of the season and so far I've witnessed 2 defeats. Please can we win today! We need to get back some confidence before the City cup game. Based on the Newcastle game I'd bring back Perraud on the left and move KWP to the right, have Armstrong start for Broja and think about bringing in Stephens for Bednarek.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 (edited) If I was Armstrong and saw Ely playing up top ahead of me I’d be pissed off. Very surprised with Smallbone inclusion. Djenepo and Tino not in the squad. Shed a tear when I saw Walcott’s name because no doubt he’ll be the first sub on to “change the game”. Watford set up for the counter attacks! Should be shooting on site with Ben Foster in goal. Hopefully he’s too busy filming his latest YouTube vlog.

ButtikonSaint Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 interesting line up - 4-5-1 when out of possession to 4-3-3 when attacking I also had Smallbone in mind for this game... Think RH had to try something a bit different after the last two no shows - gives us quite a bit on the bench too (if makes use of it) Like that Perraud is back... give us, with Salisu, two lefties to really spread the game out wide Worth a try first half at least 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWar Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 (edited) 4141 returns. Good time for a tactical switch up I'd say. I assume we'll play the same we did against West ham in the league.

nta786 Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 Ralph switching things up today and rightly so. It could be a 4141, or a 433 holding, or a more unlikely 4222 with Elyounoussi up top, or even more unlikely, it could be a 532 if Romeu drops into a CB position like he did in 1st half Villa away.

Seems every run of 5 or more wins, we could easily follow with a run of 5 or more losses! Guess that's why we will always be a mid table at best team, but we seem even more erratic under Ralph, you just never know what you are going to get, when it clicks it clicks but when it doesn't we look very fragile, although I am not suggesting he should go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
