Come on guys......it's JANDER not Janger. And AZAZ not Aziz. It's not difficult.

Prediction - 1-0 Hull.

Most of the posters on here haven't clocked that Welington only has 1 letter l in his name, so I don't rate your chances 😉

[Sheaf Saint]

Good luck everyone going to the game today...

Why cant Saints do both? I'm just tired with the excuses. 

 

Because we've been utterly shite for the past 4 years. Managed promotion with money and a bit of luck, but that turned out to be a false dawn. 

Not excuses just perhaps managing expectations.

Having said all that I am expecting a win today.

Being on the southern fringe of the bad weather, it looks like Hull could avoid the worst of it, according to my weather radar app...

2-0 to us today - Scienza and Stewart to score - COYR 😊

2-0 Downs with both 

[bangkoksaint]

Just arrived in the car park. Absolutely hammering it down. Hopefully not bad enough to bring the game into doubt 

[Mboto Gorge]

I’ve been up here since yesterday evening and it’s been pissing down since midday, going to be very wet underfoot , as it’s forecast to be heavy until the early hours of tomorrow. 

[SNSUN]

The Prediction Wheel, reliable once all season. It is as pointless as Albert Gronbaek's signing. It is as accurate as Guido Carillo and as useless as Ali Dia. And yet here we are. Let's see if it predicts a huge win for Saints.

 

No. No it's doesn't. But that's possibly a good thing. It basks in the glory of getting the opening day result right against Wrexham and to hell with the rest of the season.

Personally I think we'll win. It won't be pretty,  it won't be comprehensive, but I think we'll have enough.

And then there's Liverpool...

Yep just arrived at the station pissing down 😂😂

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

After Wrexham it has only got worse. Especially the awful football against Portsmouth. Bloody dreadful that was. So Will Still it is about time you showed me that you can gee up my team and play some exciting, hard fought football and bloody win today!

Other than maybe Downs that's the team I would have played. Big opportunity for the lad I hope he takes it.

[Wade Garrett]

Major surprise playing Downs up front.  I feel sorry for Archer.

[Toadhall Saint]

That should be good enough- 0 - 2 Saints Downs to get the first.

We need to give him the next 5 games starting to let him show what he can do, not drop him in and out every three games rotating with Archer and Stewart. 

[Wade Garrett]

Really strong bench.

He was nursing a slight injury wasn't he? So doubt he was dropped.

[Saint NL]

Downs?

I'm surprised. The rest is as expected.

Big game for Downs, let's see what he can do with some service.

[Saint Matty 76]

Happy to see Downs get a go. Would’ve started Robinson though who is desperately unlucky to have fallen out of favour.

I don't think we can afford that if he's anonymous again. Like still says they have to prove they belong in the team.

Loads of strikers to chuck on after 70 mins 🔥🔥🔥

[CB Fry]

Hat trick for Downs.

 

 

Hahahahha just kidding lads he's fucking shit. 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

On paper, good attacking unit. Lets hope it comes together today.

[AlexLaw76]

Downs can’t be any worse. I mean, he has missed 2 tap ins so far

Indeed. But perhaps there's a cunning plan afoot to find a striker and style-of-play option that actually match each other (I say that in hope, not in any knowledge that we'll actually be able to play to our striker's strengths!).

[Saint NL]

Wasn't Downes supposed to be ill? He's on the bench.

It gives the whole "long term illness" theory a bit of credibility. 

[benjii]

Depressing that Quarshie and Edwards can't even get on the bench ahead of Wood.

Anyhow, up the Saints.

Let's hope they don't go out and play like bellends again.

[LGTL]

That bench is ridiculous. About time we started winning some games.

We're not blessed with strength in numbers in CM. If he is ill, it does show where Sesay, Aribo and even potentially Edwards are in Still's priority list for CM.

Nah, big striker today, so it'll be balls in behind 😂

Inshallah no, brother.

[Willo of Whiteley]

It says a lot that CM is a weak area and yet Aribo and Sesay are still not considered

[chivvy]

I'm prepared to give downes a chance.. pace and a bit physicality.. take your chance Damien.

[Baird of the land]

Says a lot about the Loch Ness monster that archer is out and he’s not considered startable.

Wood has been by far better than Edwards so far this season. I've got no problem with that.
