Watched them on Saturday, I was expecting a similar organisation to the likes of Stoke.

Ultimately, having 12+ players out of your squad does have its obvious disadvantages and it showed. They were poor.

Ivanovic is an interesting player, similar to Mitrovic/ industrial focal point that can bully and finish.

 

 

Have they still got 12 players out? Tried looking up injury list and couldn't find much. That would certainly help us, we seem to have plenty out as well but a bigger squad. Missing Charles and Downes does leave us light in the middle. 

I'm going to say now that a draw here would be a good result , only conceded once in last 5 home games

I watched them last night and although they made hard work of beating Sheff W, it was a comfortable win in the end. In a simple comparison with our performance at home to Sheff W, 3 weeks ago, they had double the shots at goal and double the XG that we had against the same opposition.   

They are still suffering from an injury crisis which has caused recent results to drop, without that I'm pretty sure that they would be sat in 2nd.   We should treat them with respect. 

Plus, Saints have yet to beat any of the teams currently sitting in the top 9 of the Championship, so this is a good opportunity to demonstrate that the recent upturn in form is no fluke. 

I did think that their defence looked a little susceptible to quick breaks which has been a forte of Saints in the last couple of games. Looking forward to it ....

Assuming there is a press conference for this? If so is it today?

The onus and expectations of their fans will also be to be on the front foot against us which should also help, with plenty of space for Scienza and Fellows to exploit. Their win against Stoke is good form, although i'd suggest TE's Saints would have taken Stoke to the cleaners. Two nil Saints. A goal early on (Aziz) and one as they try for an equaliser late on (Robinson).

I hope it’s another boring second half.
