No you have to start with Romeu and then take him off after his yellow card 😉

His strike rate of converting yellow to red or xRC is ridiculously low.

Yeah, I think I'm right in saying he never collected two yellows in one match during his time with us.

I would bring Bragg in for Downes as he was outstanding last Saturday 😊 and bring Romeu on in the second half 😊 If Downs is injured and not available, I would like to see Oyekunle on the bench 😊

Their stand out player looks to be Femi Azeez so we'll need to keep an eye on him.

He is, just back from injury, came on and scored the winner on Wednesday against Wednesday

Of course it is, maybe that is why 😉

Seriously I think you take comments a bit too seriously sometimes.  xRC 🤣

This will be an interesting test for Eckert if Leo cannot play tomorrow. You'd expect that at some stage of the season we will be without one or more of Leo, Azaz and Fellows due to injury (or illness), especially when you see the sort of treatment Leo, in particular, is getting from opposition defenders. 

All managers have to deal with injury problems - Alex Neill at Millwall being a prime example. It will be fascinating to see how (or if) Tonda adapts the style of play if he is forced into replacing Leo as well as Downes tomorrow. We do have a big squad so he does have options open to him - let's see how he deals with it!

Robinson is the obvious substitute, and pretty effective to. However it's an intense position to play in. Frazer will probably act as back up.

Of course Dibling would have been perfect, but he is of course busy ..... sitting on the bench.

Correct. He does have the record number of yellow cards, a record which surprisingly he took from MLT.

Leo has brought direct running and rapid ball-carrying, so if he's out and we plan on playing similarly to how we have been, the obvious replacement is Robinson or Fraser. I realise that everyone probably knew this already.

Wildcard: Mas-ski San.

Think he hurt himself leaping for that header to keep the ball in play vs Leicester.

Possibly sprained neck or back due to that tree he seems to be growing on his head.

What’s so funny about xRC? I could quote x2ndY if you wish. Both show Romeu’s exemplary record for an enforcer.

He’s just the Aldi version of Finn Azaz

They are a bit out of form after a good start to the season, including a struggling win against Weds last time out, probably on their way down to a bottom half finish. We are on top form at the moment.

Millwall win.

That is because MLT could not tackle, even though he used to try and he was a gobshite. I always remember he was a very awkward tackler, he used to pretty much lay down first then tackle instead of the normal slide tackle.

The strangest thing happened to me tonight.

I suddenly realised, that for the first time in what feels like forever...

I am actually looking forward to Saints playing on Saturday.

Usually what happens on a Friday night, is that I am just enjoying my evening. Relaxing, and winding down from the frenetic week, and then at some point, it abruptly dawns upon me: "Oh fuck. It's Saints tomorrow."

And that old heavy-hearted sinking feeling, begins to wash over me.

 

Instead, I feel pleasantly refreshed and re-invigorated, by two superb wins, and some absolutely scintillating attacking football. A strong blast of fresh air is sweeping through our Club. It feels good to be excited about Saints again. To see so much potential opening up before us.

We look organised, well drilled, aggressive and combative. There is strong desire to work hard, with and without the ball, and a creative spark that has been sorely missing for far too long. We are flying into challenges, and throwing bodies in front of the ball. Defending as a team, and difficult to break down. There is a developing cohesion, understanding and spirit amongst the squad.

You can feel the difference in the crowd. The expectation. The tangible buzz everytime Leo gets the ball, and starts weaving magic. When Tom Fellows mesmerises defenders, spellbinding them with stepovers, and no-one can stop him from getting his crosses in.

I had forgotten what it felt like, to genuinely feel like Saints could score at any moment, every single time we attack.

These are exciting times my friends, and it is wonderful to feel so good about our Club once again. :classic_biggrin:

I did the Bermondsey Beer Mile in August, because of poor forward planning it fell on a Millwall home game (I think it was their Boro defeat). I got the shits at bar number 7 and had to use a god awful toilet. I blame Millwall for no reason whatsoever. I want revenge. Millwall 0 - Saints 5.

And it is about this time that (from too many years experience) something comes along and burst the big balloon of optimism.

I’m hoping not just yet though as, like you, I’m enjoying watching this saints side.

Bermondsey is like a load of 3rd generation pikeys all in the same place.  The most horrible bunch of cunts you could ever wish to meet.  They deserve the shite housing they have, not that many of the scroungers pay any rent.  They’ll be on the piss big-time on Saturday celebrating their bumper pay-rise from Rachel the Twat.  Won’t even notice what’s going on on the pitch.  
Which is lucky for them because we are going to win by a fucking mile.

Fucking horrible pikey cunts.

I was dragged to their match on Wednesday night, and sat with the home fans during the match. I caught a train to and from the ground, queued on the platforms, went round their shop , had a burger and a beer in the ground.

I was no bad behaviour, heard nothing any different from being at SMS and felt it was just a normal crowd at a normal match. Sure, there was a significant police presence, around the station and the stadium, but I didn’t see them having to do anything.

I had been expecting a fairly lively evening, and was somewhat surprised to find it so calm, relaxed and ordinary. So, Wade Garrett, I don’t know where or when you experienced Millwall fans that caused you to give such a strong, bigoted opinion, but I saw nothing like that. Maybe today will be different, maybe you’re remembering ten or twenty years ago, but I saw a genuine community club with decent people watching.

Mind you, the football was dire, and whilst Millwall attacked with pace down the wings they were largely toothless in the box.

I suggest you go back through some previous match threads and familiarise yourself with Wade's trademark pre-match assessments 😉
