Definitely a weird feeling in the air for this game, not sure what it is.

Something silly like we will win but Peretz will get injured or something 

Recall Baz, now!

I know what you mean, just feels like one of those games. Although had a few good wins at Swansea over the years, need the spirit of 2018

Or we win 6-0 and rub out Ipswich's goal difference advantage.

Flynn's is the pick of the bunch there IMO.

I think that’s just being Saints. It can only be good for too long before you think it’ll come crumbling down. 
 

I’m quietly optimistic, we look too good for everyone recently even when in 2nd gear, Swansea are fairly average but with 1 big threat to deal with. New ground for me today so hoping for the best, no reason not to be confident other than thinking we’re going to lose just because we’re unlikely to win 7 in a row 

[sfc4prem]

It's a weird feeling, confidence. As a Saints fan it is pretty fragile confidence, I think.

Look at our run, our momentum, the fact that we're grinding out wins, easing to wins in 2nd gear. It bodes well...

[BranfootsLoveChild]

Doesn't look as if QPR will help us. 2-0 to Millwall.....23 mins gone.

I think Tonda will drum into the players that the semi final is a one-off game to be treated separately to the league matches. Whatever the result he'll close the book and move on. Ok, this is a huge match but realistically the players will not be surprised if we fail to beat City. For that reason the disappointment will feel less than if we were to lose going into the game as firm favourites. Tonda will instil a dose of realism and psychological tricks with the hope that he can keep the players up and ready to go on the Tuesday against Ipswich irrespective of the result at Wembley. If anyone can Tonda can. 

Agree and disagree.  The approach you'd take (there, above) is defeatist and Tonda isn't defeatist. But he will compartmentalise things; best way to do it.

I’d sooner recall Ian Turner!

3-0 to us today - Scienza, Stewart and Larin to score 😊  COYR 😊

[LGTL]

No Stephens, Wood starts. Apart from that, pretty much as you’d expect. 

[Saint NL]

Expected Stephens, but not a huge downgrade.

[sfc4prem]

Nice rest for Jack.

[CB Fry]

Decent side. Wood will want to play well back at Swansea.

I still don't think we are going to win 10 in a row but he's picked a side that should win this.

[The Kraken]

Yep, decent line up. Fellows has got to be doing more to push his way into the side, I like Matsuki but Fellows IMO has got a bit more to him.

[skintsaint]

Think this will be a score draw and the acceptance of playoffs.

If we win 2nd is still on!

[SNSUN]

I've said it before, if we win all 4 games and don't come second then all credit to the team that beats us when they're under pressure. The Saints fan of old in me is a little worried about today. Let's hope we continue to put in a performance. 

[hypochondriac]

Well Millwall have done their bit. We now need to match them if we want to keep our hopes alive.

[austsaint]

I get that Wood will want to play well against his former side, and he has been solid in recent sub appearances.   Slightly worried though that the Stephens/THB partnership has been disrupted.

They were never going to be able to play every sat/tue, which is why I expected the wood change.

[Saint NL]

Commentators just said that last time Wood started in the league, we lost 👀

Streams anyone?

So what. He started against Arsenal and we smashed them right up the Arsenal.

It does.

The eloquent Clinton Morrison watching our game then. He mumbled something about Swansea dominating, we made six changes and something about Larin. Brilliant!

Was it Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant?

[saintant]

Not watching but assume we have made a very slow start judging by lack of comments.

[broken spoke]

it has been slow....

I'm by the pool in Fuerteventura. I need the Saintsweb updates! 😝

[saintant]

I get nervous when we start games slowly. They rarely end well.

[Patrick Bateman]

Saints picking up now, I think we miss Larin

[saint michael]

I cant watch today, so any clues to how it’s going will be gratefully received

First 8-9 mins it was all Swansea possession, but Saints have started to get on top in the last 5 mins

Yeah. I'd be starting him every game.

Cue a LND hattrick. 😜

[Sheaf Saint]

Looks like we were just happy to let Swansea have the ball in the early stages while we worked out their formation. Coming much more into it now.

[Saint NL]

Decent chance for stewart

[RedArmy]

Not if he wastes chances like that he won’t 

[Saint NL]

Azaz booked for a dodgy sliding tackle

[RedArmy]

Fuck sake. So poor
