Saints vs Bolton - Saturday 3pm

[Lighthouse]

Won't be an easy one as they seem to have found a bit of form recently. Three wins in their last four, including a 1-3 at Molineux last time out. You would think Bree, Leo and Larin would come back into the starting lineup. I'm guessing Bragg will replace Downes as I doubt Jander is ready to start after an unexpected 70 minutes tonight.

[Tommy Mulgrew]

An hour or so practising shooting low to the keeper’s left and we’re home and dry; easy-peasy. Three more points in the bag.

[Britannia]

Will Gavin play?

[Harry_SFC]

Peretz, Bree, Stephens, Schlotterbeck, Manning, Jander, JWP, Azaz, Matsuki, Scienza, Larin.

You just know bazunu will have the game of his life.

[Saint_lambden]

Is Bazunu elidgble? 

Their style of being very attack-minded should play in to our hands in terms of creating lots of space for us to outscore them, but I actually think this will be the toughest of our 3 games this week. 

As long as no complacency creeps in, 3-1 win.

Well we sold him to them, so would be a weird clause.

Nearly as weird as your spelling of eligible.

Exactly the kind of game we are sometimes found wanting in. Think Charlton at home last season. Have to be bang at it, start strongly and hopefully take some early chances.

[Willo of Whiteley]

If Tonda, the coaching staff or the players have even one brain cell between them, they must know that if Gavin Bazunu plays in goal it’s a shoot on sight situation.

If Bazunu starts we’ll score at least four.

When we sold him, we made it a condition that he has to play against us. 

[SNSUN]

Peretz, Bree, Jack, Schlott, Manning, JWP, Jander, Matsuki, Azaz, Leo, Larin

...if Downes is out. Best team we can put out otherwise. Smash em. Cement a play off place... for now.

[HKsaint]

Azaz will scored a hat trick against Baz.

Will have to be on top form to stop us scoring in 31 league games straight....

[AlexLaw76]

Bragg must be available for this one???

[HKsaint]

Is this intentional? Both Norwich and Bolton have one more day to rest before playing against us.

Shoot low and hard to his left. All the players obviously know that is his biggest flaw. 

[Pamplemousse]

We've never beaten Bolton at St Mary's so another record we can hopefully break

Not sure if true but I have heard every team has 365 days in a year

[whelk]

Did Tonda give any update on Downes?

Im suspicious this is all part of the EFLs anti Saints agenda. Be interesting to track this over the season to see how much rest we get v other clubs in the EFL.

Yws possibly not too bad apparently. Doubt we will see him Saturday though. Presumably Bragg and jwp.

I think the opposite and he will bottle it. SFC 3 BWFC 0

[bangkoksaint]

No Barry Horne this time so looking for another hero - JWP? 

[coalman]

It's a game solely about Baz. Is he going to thwart the club that loaned him to Belgium and stalled his career or will pingpong have the game of his life to put that Israeli upstart in his place.

For some reason I'd thought he was only on loan. Result! 

He'll be ledgible after all  

[Jack]

They’ve been really good recently, won’t be easy. As others have said our game plan needs to be SHOTS. Fucking hundreds of them. Low and on target, let inevitability do its thing.

A lot of people won’t have a clue what you are referring too. One of the most exciting goals I’ve ever seen, the cup atmosphere and excitement was something else back in the day.

Yes please, and celebrate by lifting his shirt to show off his IDF tattoo right in front of Baz

If we're losing going into stoppage time need Jander or JWP to recreate this moment

Yes fair play theyve come up and done very well recently, very impressive result at Molineux Tuesday night , i think it will be a very tough game 

Surprised to hear they are only bringing about 1600 fans as they havent played at St Mary's for a long time, corner always looks a bit sparse with a half full away end

How many games is that? 

I do seem to remember them being a bogey team with big Sam in charge 

Worrying stat 😔

One of my favourite games I went to at the Dell, that one. Under the lights, proper pitch invasion for the equaliser then again at the end. Magic.

A few dribblers along the ground should see us through this game.

[Lord Duckhunter]

If Baz is at his best, it’ll be tough to get more than 4 or 5 past him. 
 

With JWP & Manning on corner duty, we should be able to really put him under pressure & expose his Warwick Davies like jumping ability. That and a few hit slightly off centre to the left of him, his continued bad luck, and his record at SMS,  I’m going for a 7-2

Last win against them in any competition was four days after 9/11. Pahars scored the only goal. Last home win was in 1995, David Hughes scored the winner.

You mean an extra day of rest last Saturday after the international break and before the match against Portsmouth on 11 October Sunday?  That is insignificant!

Should I only read your capital letters together? 

[Paul_B]

Literally everything is pointing towards a 1-0 win to Bolton with Baz scoring the winner with a 102nd minute header from a corner after having the performance of his career.

I'd be surprised if Jander starts, he was supposed to be eased back to match fitness and "manage his minutes" , chance for Bragg to be back in action quickly , then Jander to come on for final 30 assuming he didnt injure himself at the end last night 

[Draino76]

I've got a spare ticket for the Northam. Message me and you can have it. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Bazunu will choke at St Mary’s, like he did as a player. Pepper their goal with shots, force them back, and once we score one we’ll score a few.
