Need to play the same starting 11 as last time I think.

Make sure Matt Le Tissier is marked at all times so he can't ping one in from 40 yards.

Just arrange for a few chemtrails overhead.

Tonight will be the Ellis Simms show.

Just make the BBC film it, then you can't be sure if it actually happened

@Saddlebrains you got any team news for this game?

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Robins is P7 W1 D3 L3 against Martin.

The only managers he has a worse record against in as many games as that is Nathan Jones and Nigel Adkins.

Incidentally the manager he has the best record against (after 7 or more games) is the one that the forum's resident nostradamus claimed is tactically superior to Robins - Gareth Ainsworth.

Ha ha Ainsworth has one tactic, hoofball

 

[pusbccfc]

They're expecting 24K, not sure you'd add a great number to that by knocking a few quid off.

Yeah, true. Clearly the price isn't an issue for a lot of people with the amount spending £37 on Birmingham and Sheff Wednesday.

Be interesting to see who drops out the squad for Godden

Binks, Fadz or Ayari

Does anyone know if you can go through the atrium towards The Anecdote if you go to the club shop before a game or do you have to go all the way round the ground?

Don't know 100%, but highly doubt it. a) that's essentially the players/staff entrance on match days & b) you need a corporate ticket to get to the escalators from the Anecdote side.

Got to be a CB no need for three on the bench.

He might be tired staying up all night so same team

Wouldn’t want to make it easy for people to go to the shop and spend money

Surely Ayari.

3 for 2 on Santa's sacks at the moment too. These won't hang around.

I live just outside Southampton, travelling up with fingers crossed for local bragging rights. Entitled bunch of tools that they are. PUSB.

Don’t you mean Southampcity?

 

[Happy_Martian]

Don't think Southampton have scored more than 3 in a game this season. So while I'm sort of excited to see us continue our positive transition, I can see them getting a shed load. Or we'll over-perform and get closer to the Playoffs.

Not expecting this to be a draw regardless

 

[PVA]

I have a feeling O'Hare may be rested to manage his work load and this forum is going to lose its SHIT.

I reckon the same with Sakamoto.

 

[Mcbean]

The key for me is scoring the first goal then we have every chance

We tried that at Leicester lol

You're like a dog with a bone.

 

[curly_tom]

I highly doubt he’ll rest either Saka or OHare, they must both be feeling very confident. I hope he doesn’t change too much and go defensive, we are better with the more attacking formation and I think that’s the case even against bigger sides. Maybe Eccles for Simms and push Allen up

If this is to happen, please release the team early to save me my fuel and parking fees.

Eccles for Simms. Well need the extra defensive midfielder against Saints. if we play Sakamoto, Allen and O'hare.
And Simms was poor against Brum.

 

[PVA]

I can't see both of them being rested.

I just think they might want to give O'Hare a breather as it's still early in his return from injury and the last thing we want is for him to break down.

But I hope I am wrong and that he's fully recovered and able to play as often as needed.

 

[rexo87]

Collins

MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell

Eccles Sheaf Allen

Saka Ohare Wright

Think the extra midfielder will be needed. Ohare in a sort of false 9 role

He won't rest the 2 best players from Friday night. No chance surely. I can understand O'Hare in a way, managing his recovery, and he will certainly be needed at Leeds on Sat. In that case Eccles comes in, and we push Allen further forward.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

It was a joke you fanny

He's always saying who cares to anybody who pops up with anything anyway, so... who cares!

Around Christmas just about every midfielder's going to get a rest if enough are fit, and watch this forum overanalyze what it means about their place in the pecking order.

 

[Mcbean]

Need to go one game at a time

 

[long way home]

I can see Robins bringing in Eccles and Godden in for Simms and Tatsu who will drop to the bench
Ayari out the squad.

If it was me i wouldn't change from the Brum starting line up but Robins will have to go on the data he gets on players levels.

Tough game id take a point with not injuries if offered now. But 3pts with no injuries would be a very good few weeks of results.

 

[Macca]

Don't rest players in the 1 game from next 3 that we stand half a chance in

Do we? Surely we could apply for special dispensation from the EFL to play both Southampton and Leeds simultaneously tonight. Would cut down on fixture congestion and boost the attendance too.
