Stoke v Saints Saturday 31 Jan 12:30 Kick Off

[Saint Marky]

Never started one of these, but I’m hoping it will bring us luck. Not far off top six, or relegation either, come on Saints let’s get the 3 points here and get a decent run going.

Tough game, heard their keeper is out so might give us a chance if we can get some shots on target 

Stoke have dropped away a bit having been promotion contenders a few weeks ago

Well we all know the outcome then. We kick started Middlesbrough's good run after a sticky patch

Can't see anything other than a home win

Tough game. Start Stewart up top and play more like we did against Sheff Utd. Leo could be out and he'll obviously be a big miss. Edozie hasn't featured so probably won't be considered. Robinson has some ok moments but needs to bulk up a bit as he gets knocked off the ball far too easily. Maybe play AA on the left if Leo isn't fit. I'd go with;

Peretz

Bree Stephens THB Wellington

Fellows Charles Downes Leo (or AA)

Azaz 

Stewart

 

Downes needs to maintain the fight he put in today and I'd try Charles in place of Jander just to add more height and physicality in the middle. Still think Jander is going to be a top player in the long term.

Sheffield United and Pompey performances have been better. Its not at the level for top six but its 19th to 12th. I will go Stoke 1-1 Saints.

Until next season when we have defenders, midfield wingers and forwards playing as a unit plus with additional players in we will struggle to get wins. Pompey game classic example, improvement in areas but crucial thing like defending corners and winning second balls to me won't get fixed this season.
