My Team for tonight: Fraser Stephens / Bednarek/ Salisu/ Bertrand Djenepo / JWP / Jankewitch/ Minamino Adams/ Tella
Its described as a typical Saints match outcome. We do both versions very well but not necessarily in the right order!
I'm surprised at no Minamino in the XI. But other than that, I didn't expect Ralph to make changes - so no other surprises.
As expected Ralph has gone full strength. I wanted a strong line up but would maybe have rested KWP after he apparently picked up a niggle.
I personally would have picked Adams over Ings but won’t blame Ralph if he gets an injury. I’d absolutely have picked KWP, we’ve all seen how unbalanced the team looks without him
Just need to watch for those long balls. They did for Chelsea a couple of times and large Samuel will know that we can be somewhat shaky against them.
Looks like WBA have gone 4-4-2. Potential risk for them. Usually it's either a back five, or at the very least a back four with a shielding DM. But they do need to win, and that means scoring at some point.
I will. It's a meaningless risk against a physical side and we've nothing really to play for. That team selection makes me nervous as **** and I'm not even watching It may well work out, and fair play to him if it does, but if we lose Armstrong or one of the full backs then we're ****ed for Sunday.
On the flip side. Imagine the **** Ralph would get if we rested ings and kwp and lost the game tonight......
