Made an unreal save at the weekend, although it was offside I think, so wouldn’t have counted, but he wasn’t to know
Made an unreal save at the weekend, although it was offside I think, so wouldn’t have counted, but he wasn’t to knowTo back up something @Lamps has mentioned a few times though, Gavin Bazunu’s been absolutely honking this season with a save percentage not much better than Brad Collins last season.

True, but over the whole season it’s pretty startling.Made an unreal save at the weekend, although it was offside I think, so wouldn’t have counted, but he wasn’t to know
We’re top and they’r tenth, I’m shitting this one.
Because their GK is poor and their defence makes plenty of mistakes.Not sure why the pessimism when they’ve scored 9 in the last 3 home games, but if we go in front early on that crowd’s going to turn on them it seems.
I'm one of the optimists among our fanbase, but occasionally get this fear of capitulation. In those moments I just seek out any of yours or @Mucca Mad Boys posts and calm is instantly restored. Keep up the good work, gents.
Collins made some very good saves and even caught the ball occasionally. You never had much confidence in him though and we wouldn't be where we are now with him in goal.Made an unreal save at the weekend, although it was offside I think, so wouldn’t have counted, but he wasn’t to know
Was that the one where the ref interim the take?Would that 'double hit' pen now be retaken? Or would it not be as it was missed?
Nobody has said it will be easy even though they lost to Norwich last game and that was only the second win for Norwich since August.Yes but the form table for last six games has us third and them fourth. So I don't see this as an easy game. I also expect a reaction by them to their unexpected defeat at Norwich and they didn't exactly play badly.
This is my position 95% of the time, then all of a sudden I'll wake up at 3am and think 'but what we if we lose the next 5?'.Thank you! From my perspective, it’s just reading the data and for us to mess this up, our form needs to collapse and teams like Boro, Ipswich and Southampton need to have flawless form.
Since Lampard has come in, we’ve averaged 2 PPG and in the 2025 calendar year, we’ve got 88 points from 43 game which is right on the money for automatic promotion.
The chances of us messing this up is so remote, the bookies and supercomputers have us going up with 90% certainty. Had it been any other team we’d be saying they’re certainties for automatic promotion.
Only retaken if they scoreRetaken
Will be a bit of a different team down there this year i reckonSaturday before Christmas. Early Kick Off, Live on Sky. Away on the South Coast
Just brings back terrible memories of Pompey last year
The weird way Collins tried to pat the ball away rather than just catch it for their second was the beginning of his downfall imo. Just got worse and worse as his confidence left him.I still shudder at the thought of Collins inept goalkeeping and a missed penalty by Haji the last time I went to St Mary's in the league. Threw that game away.
Think we beat these quite comfortably, keep Armstrong quiet and they are pretty toothless
Ref gave him the hurry up knew there was something about it, probably should have replaced with a different taker?The weird way Collins tried to pat the ball away rather than just catch it for their second was the beginning of his downfall imo. Just got worse and worse as his confidence left him.
Forgot their first was handball

Scienza dangerous also. I’m expecting a goal fest in all honestyNot sure about that.
Finn Azaz is looking probably as lethal in front of goal currently.

One loss in five is acceptable and a few draws.You see, I can't help thinking that all another team has to do is win 4 or 5 more games than us. Over the course of the next half of the season. And in my head that is entirely possible and wouldn't necassarily take a complete collapse from us.
When Lesta and Ipswich had a double digit lead on the chasing pack at the same stage 2 years ago did anyone really think they'd be overtaken?You see, I can't help thinking that all another team has to do is win 4 or 5 more games than us.

Norwich fully deserved that win, they weren’t bad in the F/H but nothing really special.Yes but the form table for last six games has us third and them fourth. So I don't see this as an easy game. I also expect a reaction by them to their unexpected defeat at Norwich and they didn't exactly play badly.
That was game that I gave up on the play-offs that season!I still shudder at the thought of Collins inept goalkeeping and a missed penalty by Haji the last time I went to St Mary's in the league. Threw that game away.
Have to watch the balls over the top because our 2 slouches won't catch Armstrong for sureI wonder if Arma is still as fast as he was? Could give Bobby and Milan a bit of work to do, hahaha

Or our three at the back, unless we can harness MVA?Have to watch the balls over the top because our 2 slouches won't catch Armstrong for sure
5 at the back
Grimes/ Torp/EMC/Eccles midfield
Haji up front
Tats and Rudoni options off the bench
