Saints v Charlton, Sat 3PM

[Golac's Cunning Stunts]

Winnable game and really a must win game. Addicks unbeaten in last 3 and have the skates on Tuesday.

play like we did 2nd half v Leics and we will win.

Line up is almost a no-brainer.

Peretz, Bree, THB, Stephens,  Welington, Downes, Charles, Fellows, Azaz, Scienza, Ross.

I suppose arguments could be made for Jander, Bragg, Matsuki, Edozie and Larin but that would be my XI if everyone is fit.

No game is easy but if we want to keep challenging for the play-offs, we need to win this, especially with play-off rivals QPR and in form Norwich closely following.

Am always nervous when former players or managers come back. Will be interesting to see what Jones has left in the tank after a truly magnificent box-of-frogsing last week at the final whistle. As possibly the fittest man in Europe I expect him to bounce back though.

There's actual competition for places at Saints for the first time in a long time. And not the who can be the most frustrating player on the pitch kind.

Is this what it feels like to begin to look forward to football matches again?

I certainly don't think we'll see a repeat of the away game first half, Charlton have looked well organised in recent weeks, Jones doing a good job. 

I don't think he'll act up on the touchline at St Mary's though, he'll be too distracted watching the love of his life James Bree 

Tonda might try to be clever with the line up considering we play QPR a few days later , it's a massive week really, Charlton (H), QPR (H) , Sheffield Wednesday (A) got to keep the run going aim for 7 points at a minimum

Doubts around Stephens and Welington fitness wise, so could be at least a couple of changes. Fellows could be rested with Matsuki showing good form.

Bearing in mind what happened up there, I'm pretty sure they will be keen to make it tight and restrict the space. 

Crowd needs to stay lively if we are being frustrated. With the talent we have on the bench, we've always got a chance of unlocking them late on.

Have to be wary about them. They beat Ipswich 3-0 away, and there's absolutely no way they will be as open as they were in November.

We should win but they seemed to have turned things around after a dodgy spell, much like we have.
