"a bit"

[benjii]

Hope we get stuck in but don't go over the top. 

Welly, Downes, Matsuki all pick up silly bookings early and the pressure will be on.

[Andy Hill]

Is anyone optimistic with that line up ??

Unfortunately you can only have more control if your passing is accurate - ours is generally careless and shite.

On Tuesday we went much more direct and finally won a game.

For a month before that we ‘kept it on the floor’ with Armstrong at CF and won fuck all.

Genius

Stewart up top (if for enough to start) should have been one the first names in the team sheet. AA has been shoe horned in. If that was felt necessary, down the right would have made more sense.

I'm glad Murphy's not in the squad. Those brothers seem to be a red herring for us

[Nottssaint1]

Struggling with a stream. Anyone got one? The saints website only lets me buy audio pass 

[saint michael]

I think Peretz will be key for us today. Going to be battered by the bigger guys. Needs to be really strong and avoid the tip tappy stuff 

[M271]

I can’t find a a Sky link for our match. Sky+ multi is just wsl and Sky sports app just shows links to football short items ugh…..

Is the match on the Sky TV app thing?

It is, not sure about actually sky bit on my "alternative option" it's event 9, just after the WSL games. 

[Saint NL]

Here we go, don't fuck this up

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Presumably, he's saving Stewart and Fellows to come on as a unit (so a plus for learning that one) while looking for more control centrally with hopefully 4 at the back, and extra support from Matsuki.

I think we'd all prefer Fellows and Stewart, both being more than capable of more than long ball stuff.

No issues with Bree, Stephens and Welington. I think Matsuki is a bit more physical than some. With any derby, keeping their cool will be important.

It's a decent attacking line up, with plenty on the bench that will switch things up. The starting 11 know that there will be subs, so can put more into that first half, which Tonda likes to do.

Murphy missing for them is a huge plus, so I'm verging on @davefizzy14 on this one. COYR!

Here we go then... 

[Saint NL]

I see smelly Westwood is there

[benjii]

Would be great if Charles has a good 30 minutes in him. Obviously a good player but brings some aerial strength too.

I could smell him from Devon before they showed him on screen

[benjii]

Why do they make their mascots wait on the pitch? Bit weird.

Is that Kat, is she actually there?? Or am I not getting a joke? 

She’s there so Tonda will probably  bring her on for Scienza on 60 mins….

Webbed feet make it difficult coming up the tunnel stairs?

Looks like she trusted SR to pick her surgeon.

Anyone know if Lewis Smith is a decent ref?

Tunnel stop small to have them in there.

Just thinking the same, name doesn't ring a bell. Hopefully he's decent

[Saint_clark]

Thank Christ we don't have Bazunu in goal for this, he'd melt under the abuse he'd be given.

No, I'm holding off going for a piss until half time now

[Saint Fan CaM]

My stream keeps switching between P-y and Saints commentary 

[Turkish]

The game plan in light of the atmosphere has changed 😂😂

fuck me yeah we changed our game plan due to the Fratton Park atmosphere 😂

[Saint NL]

It's already a better match than the home game

[bangkoksaint]

Does it go down as a save too then...?!

[benjii]

That was a dive.

Commentary will claim it was caused by the excitement and fear of the Fish Shed atmosphere no doubt.
