Never done one of these, so here it goes. In the great words of @Saintmagic , or something along the lines of… “We’re **** and hope we lose” Saints off the back of a hard fought loss at Anfield whilst Leicester scraped past the pathetic Watford at home. The same Watford we dominated a few weeks ago. Unsure of injury concerns apart from Stuey not being available. Here’s hoping Vardy pulls a hamstring whilst scoring an own goal. Referee: Robert Jones. Assistants: Eddie Smart, Derek Eaton. Fourth official: Simon Hooper. VAR: Andy Madley. Assistant VAR: Adrian Holmes.
I’ll take anything other than a 9-0 loss. One of the worse experiences of my life that match…. Awful weather and a **** show of a performance. I walked out at 7-0 I remember when the first went in and Berts was sent off. I turned to my mum and said I’m leaving at 7!
Wednesday 1st December 2021 - 19:30 KO Southampton v Leicester City Referee: Robert Jones. Assistants: Eddie Smart, Derek Eaton. Fourth official: Simon Hooper. VAR: Andy Madley. Assistant VAR: Adrian Holmes.
Leicester were impressive at the weekend and Vardy was in lethal form. Maybe a team now hitting form and perhaps not the best time to be playing them; a little like Liverpool at the weekend. However, being at home, we hopefully will get a point. Any less would be a disappointment. Rogers is a canny manager, l hope Ralph has thought through his plans carefully for both halves and learnt lessons from his poor tactics at the weekend.
I don’t recall ever saying “I hope we lose” my words do tend to be great though. I think we will lose
As would I. Tella is not the finished product by any means, but he does have a tendency to create good chances. That we'll probably waste, but still.
Not feeling optimistic We just aren’t as good without Stu and that’s been the case for too long Defence is better these days but struggles against real quality eg Vardy and Madison Macca in a poor patch Strikers can’t score Bench offering no impact subs JWP not same player as last season Diallo inconsistent Tino and Sally playing well isn’t enough We are capable of being so good, but are currently so bad We need to pull a result out of the bag against this bad run of form to get some confidence through the team Macca Tino Lyanco Sally KWP Oriel JWP Tella Redders Che Adam
In fairness this 'bad run of form' currently stands at one n a half matches. Not expecting anything tomorrow though mind.
FWIW I think we will struggle tomorrow as Leicester do have some very good players. But where is this bad form you speak of? Whether you look at our last 5/6 games, we have only had 1 bad result and that was against Norwich - losing against Liverpool isn't bad form, it is par. Other than that we have been on bloody good form!
And we still have more than one point per game played, which is a healthy position to be in. I am still confident we will reach 20 points by Christmas.
Don’t worry, there’s absolutely no chance we’ll struggle against Leicester today. You made me panic for a second there though
