Expect so but he plays like a striker there anyway.

Maybe Wright is carrying a slight knock and FL is hoping we can do the job without him

Could be he might be okay from the bench for 15-20 mins or so, but is a risk for a full game.

Or just a calculated gamble to have him fresh for Soton

Decent team. Preston will try to crowd out the middle of the park and maybe Haji coming on in the latter part of the game will be more effective. Simms can occupy those central defenders better with BTA press and energy behind.

is hospitality sold out though, doesn't it just go off sale a few days before the match? it would be incredible if the marketing team have got it all done for a midweek against preston. obvs would be happy to be wrong though.

The Balcony will look empty.
Luckily we will be sitting there, so give us a wave

People been moved to block B.

Because of an event in the Premier lounge.

Just the anomalies that football can throw up, for me.

Seen it too many times. Home bankers that end up in disappointment

We get an early-ish goal and I think we will be fine, but if it takes some time to break them down, I can see Preston digging in and the fans starting to get frustrated in the stands.

As I keep saying, anyone can beat anyone, so we have to put in a decent effort I feel. We cannot afford an off-night.

Saying it so it doesn’t happen cos I don’t bet, feels like a frustrating draw night. If it is then we’ll smash Southampton.

What a game that was. Fabulous we were for around 30 mins or so and then they came back into the game, but it was already won by then.

Always remember Julian Joachim completely outpacing one of their centre backs, even though the defender had about a 4 or 5 yard start.

We did the same to Burnley a few days before as well.

Simms up front when BTA playing 10 makes more sense I think

Quite like Simms and Asante as a front two-ish TBH. Eccles unlucky tho IMO thought he’s been OK.
Click to expand...
We had a great run with them as the front two-not long after the game where Bassette and AN Other were taking shots rather than passing to their better positioned partner.

Obviously not our first choice, but got to rest players at some point. Hope we have enough to win still.

I don't mind Simms getting a game, he has a decent minutes to goal rate this season. Plays well up top with BTA and with the two wingers firing we might do ok....

It's vital that at least one of us have this attitude before each game to keep The Football Gods sanguine. It was me before Bristol, tonight it's you.

Otis, you’re the voice of calm amongst the bedwetters (including me). I don’t need the negative energy now!

But it's the writing him off that then makes him score minutes later.

Also we must remember that Wright also misses sitters! I do think Wright is the better player btw but I also think Simms on his day can be a great striker at this level...

It's certainly got that banana skin type feel to it hasn't it. It all points to a victory and quite an easy one at that, but it's just the sort of game where we could well end up frustrated, or slip up completely.

Didn't he play for Robins at Rotherham? Bit salty about us having lots of money to spend. As if we didn't get it from selling players we'd improved...
