Southampton Pre Match.

[Bert]

Quick turnaround as we head to Southampton on Tuesday. 
 

Thomas suspended, so the big question is who comes in for him. These have had their best win of the season today. We are starting to show a bit of resilience.

Gonna be Choudhury RB, Ricardo across to LB, a red card for one and a snapped hamstring for the other isn’t it 🤦‍♂️ - meanwhile Aluko back out the 18

[Pliskin]

Thomas being suspended is literally the best thing ever. 
 

Best place for him is sat in the stands. 
 

Aluko has to be given a chance. 
 

Either way, it’s immaterial as we will lose this one. 

[Tuna]

We'll probably see Ricardo at LB and Hamza at RB, although would rather Aluko be given a chance.

[goog]

Everytime  we play these i think of this. 

A couple of days after I lost my Dad. 

God knows what he would be thinking now! 

 

How far we have regressed is just shocking.

Let's hope we have started to turn the corner.

 

Onwards and upwards.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Hopefully we get to see Aluko, would be a good reward for the hardy souls travelling.

My local game. Can see it being a draw Tuesday, although for the first 20 minutes today Saints looked very impressive. 

[SafewayFox]

The depressing reality is, we will concede at least one goal due to an individual error.

 

Their recent form will have them bang up for this one too.

Recent form hopefully means they are due a defeat. That's how this division works. Nobody is capable of stringing more than 3 or 4 games together. Except us and Cov and Ipswich 

 

As for the news about Luke Thomas. Wonderful. A real heart warming moment 

[Nolucklcfc]

Could have done without them hitting the form they just have. Feel like we are blagging it a bit at the moment but if we do turn them over, that’ll be a bit of a statement. (We won’t) 

[FoxinNotts]

                          Begovic

 

Choudhury    Faes.  Vesty.     Aluko

 

                      Winks.   James.

      Fatawu.       BDCR.       Mavididi

 

                            Daka.

Vieites.

Okoli. Ricardo. 
Skipp Soumaré

Could have done with playing these a month ago. Best we'll get is a draw. The Thomas suspension could mean Ricardo plays two in a week or he puts Okoli there or goes 3 at the back maybe?

Ricardo can’t start after today’s performance 

[Mickyblueeyes]

James next to Winks.

 

BCDR for Skipp

 

Aluko in for Thomas.

 

Someone else Faes. 
 

 

 

[Blueman1967]

Need to be on it; they have a good win today. Probably the best we can hope for is a draw.

[Ric Flair]

Aluko surely has to start but Marti will do his utmost not to.

[foxinsox]

Its likely to be Aluko and Choudhury, or alternatively 3 at the back with wingbacks in place of fullbacks.

 

Ricardo had a poor game and we also need to rest him a bit. He isn't up to another game so soon. Vesty as captain.

 

I reckon Patson and Stephy get the start but possibly BCD in place of Abdul. Skipp has had a good couple of matches, So I would start him over Winks with James.

We’ve had too many good times at this place over the last few years

 

It ends Tuesday

[HankMarvin]

They owe us a good tonking

[Aleksz]

He’ll probably wheel Ricardo out at LB with Hamza RB. Realistically.

bit harsh.  They’re just a bit excitable..

He’s just had two weeks off !!

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

2-1 to them

I'm not so sure. They have had a bit of a resurgence since they sacked Still, but they are still crap and we have a very good record against them. Being at home, they won't park the bus which will suit us. Can see a few goals possibly a 2-2 draw. 

[FoxFossil]

Improved form when they"ve got no manager.

Makes you think....
