Don't worry lads my bets rarely come in 😬 Weirdly I find it hard to bet directly against Saints. I'll happily pop money on our rivals to jinx them, though.

Saint Matty 76 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 There was a year in the Prem (multiple, probably) where we’d constantly throw away leads so I’d throw a tenner on whenever we were 1 goal up with about 15 to go. Happy to hold on or a few extra quid for the evening Haven’t bothered this year other than my £10 on Alcaraz Championship top goalscorer at 100/1 though which I thought was genius at the time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Pete Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I reckon there may be a few changes tonight to get some fresher legs in from the start. Maybe Stuey, Edozie and Rothwell coming in? Will also be interesting to see if Downes continues to start or whether it's felt he needs a rest at some point.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hmm, surprised Brooks gets the nod again but very happy to see that back four, and what I believe is the strongest midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. The people around us in the ground didn't see it on the weekend, but he took a huge swing at one of the watford defenders who went down all off the ball. I looked at the ref (who didn't see it), then at the linesman (who didn't) - I couldn't believe he'd got away with it. No idea if he made contact, but assume he did from the reaction (although who knows these days with players being dishonest)... regardless, he was silly to take the swing and we're bloody lucky he didn't get caught in the game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Probably our strongest team to start, toss up between Brooks and Fraser but having the pure pace of Fraser to come on is a benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 3 minutes ago, Saint Matty 76 said: Hmm, surprised Brooks gets the nod again but very happy to see that back four, and what I believe is the strongest midfield There were some moments on Saturday where you could see the tremendous quality he posesses. There was a chipped cross that was exquisite, fantastic control under pressure and flicks inside to keep a move flowing. Defensively he's usually shit, but I can see why RM wants him in the side. On a good day he's just a better player than the other options. Let's hope tonight is one of those good days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent side overall though. Our best back 4 and midfield. Scrappy 2-1 win, and breathing right down Leeds and Leicester's necks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, he's a player with potential quality above this league but I just think I'd have given Edozie a shot tonight Weirdly underused in recent times, not for the first spell this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer42 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Good team that.Downes has to start as he's absolutely key for me. Brooks / Fraser is a toss up really but Fraser better for an impact after 75 mins. Good balanced side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
