Match Day Thread Leicester v Southampton, Tuesday 23rd April, 8PM

Well, here we go.

The first of 3 play-off warm up games, I'm more than happy to step in and get us play-off ready. Don't expect a detailed match thread though.

Naturally we're missing Armstrong, Mara, Stewart and Bazunu, but hopefully it will include either Downes or Charles. Presser at 8:30 this morning, and we might hear some more.

We better bloody win this, I'm going.

UTFS.

 

I think we will win tomorrow, not expecting anything and likely able to overturn Leicester.

 

Dibling and Amo minutes please.

F*ck it. Might as well put Luke Pearce or Ali Gomes on the bench too.

 

Put the tea lady on there too and Forbsy.

Sounds like Downes won’t be risked for this one from the pressser

 

I say let him recover properly, unlikely we make top 2. Give Shea some starts

 

Yes, a win please. I've only just got my teeth back in after spitting them out Vs Cardiff. Luckily the TV screen survived the impact.

 

It is tough as these are pretty much nothing games now.

However, Russ should take a leaf out of my book.

Instead of just going through the motions of emptying the dishwasher, I have tried a few new things that I wouldn't have risked in prep for the playoffs.

I've tried cutlery first, top shelf last, and even tried the pots and pans interlinked with plates. I will find that winning combo before the playoffs.

FWIW a very Saintsly 2-1 to us.

 

Ali Gomes off to United with Wilcox

 

Avoid dense packing which prevents water circulation and efficient cleaning.

 

Yeah wouldn't be shocked at all by that.

 

Funnily enough and completely off topic, but so 'me', I listened to a BBC podcast 'Sliced Bread' and they did an episode on dishwashers. Very enlightening and I learned a lot. Providing your dishwasher is full, it is actually cheaper to use the dishwasher than hand wash.

 

Is there actually any suggestion of this anywhere?

 

Doubt it. I’m just getting in early

 

I was actually thinking it would be Amo.

 

Three hopes for tomorrow.
First play Charles in the DM position, or if RM doesn’t trust him there, use Stephens. Don’t risk losing Downes for the remainder of the season.
Second, don’t play with inverted FBs. The space we gave Cardiff down our right side would likely have been exploited by a better team and Leicester are a better team.
Three, don’t get hammered.

 

I agree with all this, but Martin will do the exact opposites

 

And Martin now Ten Hag looks like he’s gone

 

I hope the players feel more up for this than I do. I also hope he stops dicking around and does the actual learning part.
