Southampton v Brighton & Hove Albion **** Official Match Thread ****

[perseus]

Davis. Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox. Chaplow, Hammond(c), Cork, Lallana. Guly, Lambert

Bench:Bialkowski, Schneiderlin, Barnard, Martin and De Ridder

Very very strong I'm pleased to see and Lambert is up front

That looks like a bog standard 4-4-2.

Is Buckley on the bench? What about Hoskins?

 

[chucky1973]

The team is ok, have options on the bench, but my worry is that its a bit defensive sending out the wrong message to the Saints, we are just inviting them to attack and thats fine all the time the score is 0-0, but as soon as they score we are f***ed. thats not a negative comment, its fact.

 

[Ken Newbury]

Albion: Harper; Taricco, Greer, Dunk, Painter; Bridcutt, Navarro, Sparrow; Noone, Paynter, Mackail-Smith. #bhafc

Are you sure this is correct? The team on the official Saints site has Harley in midfield with Sparrow on the bench.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Not a chance.

Said Harley not Sparrow on radio

 

[El Turi]

Where is Buckley as I thought he was fit now?

I think Southampton are more of a counter-attacking team and the important thing is not to lose the ball in midfield. Navarro will be the star player. Perhaps, Sparrow as well. They will have most of the work to do. A big test for Paynter.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Time for a few of ours to perform today, nothing less than total commitment and effort will do, otherwise we are royally fooked.

CMS is the ONLY permanent player in the squad who wasn't playing for us last season in League One

What stream are you using Razi?

LiveOnlineFooty.com - it's a paid subscription site with guaranteed high quality feeds, but apparently they aren't taking new subscribers at the moment..

 

[El Turi]

I hope I'm wrong but I can see us getting totally overpowered in midfield today.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Will be absolutely delighted if we get a point today. Their team looks very very strong and Harley and Navarro in midfield does not fill me with a great deal of confidence.

Shame about our injuries, I would have given us a much better chance with Vicente, Buckley and Reyes starting.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Sick notes again from hoskins, Vicente, Buckley aaarrrrggh.

That looks like a bog standard 4-4-2.

It's more of a 4-1-2-1-2 diamond than a standard 4-4-2 although our formations tend to be quite fluid.

Harley!!!

 

[middletoenail]

You know we have a problem with injuries when we are playing Navarro away at Saints.

Hope he pulls it out the bag mind, just don't think he has it at this level.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Shocking defending by Burnley on the telly, hope we concentrate better than them today.
