Stumblebum Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Had a cracking idea. Why dont the stewards pick 11 total strangers out of the crowd (they've got to be strangers to make it more realistic) kit em up and make them play ? They'll try harder for a start, Lambert won't be able to organise them, they'll play for free so Mandy Lerner cuts the wage bill and there is the same chance of getting a result so the crowd are probably happier. Its win win all round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG0607 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Confidence is low and our players don't want it enough. Serious lack of leadership in our team. Lose this and I think we need to get used to the idea of Championship football next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2013 Someone in the media today (might have been Jeff Stelling) described this as the biggest game in our history. I'm not buying that, but it could end up being a good chunk of a season where the difference between staying up and going down is in excess on £200m. It's absolutely vital that we don't lose this and right now I don't have a great deal of confidence in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The defence is really frail and we are licking our wounds. We just have to try and out-score them at all costs. People are saying 0-0 and horror show... I fancy this could actually be a 3-2 or 4-3 type of game. I'll say 3-3 draw, Southampton to get a 94th minute equaliser.

chappy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 2-1 villa. and lambert scoring first for them as we always concede first. I may have to join those who want him sacked if he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If we concede first, we will most likely lose. If we score first, but then they equalise we may still go on to lose. If we score first then score the second we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bets on how early we'll concede the first goal? I'm going for 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Fonte is out dunno if thats good or bad, his replacement will probably come in and play a blinder. If we can create a few chances and take an early one I think we may be alright. But I think Lambert, Puncheon and Ramirez will get a lot of joy Saturday, need Guzan to be at his best really. Bennett has to be dropped. Ireland in for Bannan and id even give Carruthers a runout. Sad to say I can only see it being a case of the same old story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Someone in the media today (might have been Jeff Stelling) described this as the biggest game in our history.

It's absolutely vital that we don't lose this and right now I don't have a great deal of confidence in that. I am sure our biggest game in our History was in Rotterdam in 1982 was it not? But no two guns about it Jeff does have a point that it is a very very important fixture for us that possibly could start to decide the fate of our season and our fate as a club dropping out of the 8 teams never relegated from the premier league, the money lost etc. Save our season will not just happen with the next two games being miracle wins but the owner of this football club going out and signing Paul Lambert's first 6 names he wants on his transfer list no matter what it **** takes! .

supernova26 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 They are very good going forward we are awful at the back. They are bad at the back as well but they are better than us up front currently. Verdict:- 1-3 ...and lots of restless fans giving it some as the third goal goes in.
