Is everyone wearing a coat for this one?  Looks like it could be thundery showers.  Ordinarily I wouldn't bother in August but I'm in two minds at the moment.

And the award for the “most middle aged post of the tread” goes to….!

Cheers but that doesn't really answer my question.  Mods, can we have a poll please?

BTW it's thread not tread.

All I can see is blue skies over St Mary’s, the sun is shining on us.

we need more of that on this forum.

 

or are you back to being literal? I've gone and confused myself by overthinking

 

[Osvaldorama]

Well it definitely won’t be raining goals.
 

We just lost our two biggest goal threats

Nope. Just wearing my usual poncho, gimp mask and ski boots.

Step up Sekou Mara.

Impressive to sell out for QPR at home in the champs, great effort from our fans!

Am gonna go functional lightweight raincoat over over-shirt. Probably but not necessarily unzipped, allowing for greater circulation. 

I can always do with the extra pockets!!!!!! AmIRight!?!?!?!

 

[AlexLaw76]

Anyone going for the replica shirt over the turtleneck, longsleeved sweater look?

I should emphasis that it is, in fact, the raincoat that will be unzipped.. I have no intention of walking around with my penis out.

Not after Watford away 2010, anyway! good times

According to osvaldorama, Arma and bednarek are not available (lost). So it might have to be mara up front? I'd still like to see tall Paul given a chance in a team that creates opportunities, think he could be good in the 6 yd box.

Why are neither available for this game?

No idea, just quoting osvaldorama. I'd not heard anything myself. Hopefully they are mistaken.

I don't know mate, but he is likely to get game time.

Anyone remember the old guy in the East stand shouting “ There’s clouds coming in over the Dell”  all game even when the sun was shining.

He meant it metaphorically and ranted “Merrington” all game as well.

Ah memories!

Do your pockets have holes in the bottom so you can slip your hands through and reach parts that might otherwise be inaccessible?

Hoping we can get a comfortable win today- 3-0 to us Adams, Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong to score COYR 🙂

Adams isn't in the squad, Arma brace and Edozie to register his first to the account.

Time he did.

Showed some nice touches and a couple of decent finishes last season. Sadly does seem to show the symptons of 'lazyfuckercantbearsedness'.

Tella stepped up big time in the Champ last season of course, so maybe Mara can deliver a similar surprise?

As one poster used to say, Just needs a run of 6 games.

Ultimately I'd love him to work out but as RM has alluded to his training don't think it will.

[saintant]

It will be very interesting to see who RM picks today. With no Che or Tella it would appear that the club has left us weaker than we should be for this game. If we lose there is certain to be a backlash. If we are serious about promotion every game and win is vital. I recall last time we won promotion we had to keep winning because those around us did - it was relentless so we can't afford to take our foot off the gas. I hope we aren't guilty of taking our eye off the ball here.

[Saint Scott]

Blackmore confirming the obvious, Che not in the match day squad today

[saint lard]

Todays team sheet will show for the first time we are just a championship side. 
No Prima Donna’s from a failed premier league squad. And those on the periphery.   

the mainstay of what we’ve got to work with.
And likely to lose more that are slightly above this level of football. relegation is  starting to bite.  
 

[LGTL]

Armstrong as a lone striker then. Massive yay

[suewhistle]

Weather latest (I have no team news): sat outside a pub. Seats are wet but sun is out. Self medicating a pint of bitter.. (one for the regulars..).

Walked past a bookies as a Saints fan came out. Asked him jokingly if he'd bet for a win or a loss. 'Win, of course' was the reply. Obviously not a Saintsweb poster..

Now that's an image I'd rather not see, 

[Colinjb]

Amo-Ameyaw starts. 

Fraser, Downes and ABK on the bench.

[Saint Matty 76]

Alcaraz, Edozie and Amo-Ameyaw behind the striker sounds like a lot of fun to me. 

Bella-Kotchap, Fraser and Downes all on the bench.

[Saint_clark]

ABK on the bench is interesting. Tella off then, £20million isn't a bad amount though.

Just you make sure you wear a jerkin when you go out.

And don't wear it inside before you go or you won't feel the benefit.

Three Armstrongs on the pitch at once? Surely that’s illegal….

Amo has looked our best winger every time he’s played.
