If we don't win today then the liquidators will be circling

Gray deserves better service
Very hard for him to get on those long balls

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:44 pm

Desperately just need to put our foot on it and get a breather here.

Underwhelmed with Defour so far.

Saints on top
If you can't beat them

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:46 pm

Defour not had a particularly happy time on the left. Doesn't look very comfortable.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:46 pm

Think we need to change something up - we're riding our luck a little.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:46 pm

Gray needs to score cos the rest of his play today is awful. His touch and control when we have got the ball to him has been shocking. TBF Barnes not much better

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:47 pm

Defour`s influence on the game is being limited as he seems penned in and out of position on the left of midfield.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:48 pm

HT. I'd be happy enough with a draw today, would be delighted with a win.

We've struggled at times with Defour not particularly standing out. Hope Dyche can changes things up a little. We do have some options.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:48 pm

Not our best half of the season. All square though, gotta be grateful for that

Agree Defour needs to be in the middle. Hendrick been good but id swap with Defour and try and get Hendrick linking up midfield and attack

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:49 pm

Gray needs better service.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:49 pm

As things stand we're 12th and 9 points clear of Sunderland in 18th.

I'd take that, so hope we can at least grab a point.

Love me some whisky. Bought one called The Peat Monster recently. Lovely stuff.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:50 pm

Hendrick has been very good, Boyd and Defour need to do an awful lot better. The lack of depth in our wingers is very evident today.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:51 pm

I'm happy enough being level at the half.

If it finished this way, while not being a very exciting match to watch, I'd be very happy to take a point. Just keep the points ticking over...

Probably the first game of his life as a left winger. SD must have picked him just to keep him happy?

You'll be telling us next that scrolling down slowly doesn't make a difference either

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:53 pm

We haven't actually drawn many matches this season. Drawing too many was our problem last time around (and not converting enough into wins). A draw would be a bit of a treat in that respect

I DO understand your sentiment but we need, in my opinion, someone on the line to stretch Southampton. Our compactness is stifling us, NOT Southampton. Kightly for me if nowt changes in 2o minutes and go 4-4-1-1

If everybody scrolls slowly then we'll win. Of that I'm sure.

Did you not read that Andre Grey interview where he said it was all down to me that he'd scored the hat trick against Sunderland.

You carry on with your optimistic pessimism, or is it pessimistic optimism? It's worked most of the season and the Olympics.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 3:55 pm

Happy it's 0-0.
We're struggling with the basics again.
First touch and pass. Bit like at the Spammers.

Still in it though.
Come good second half.

Poor so far. Saints winning the aerial battle. Fancy Gray against the Japanese guy if we can give him some service. A point today will be a good result. Get Joey on for defour and play Boyd on left.

Boyd needs to get on the left again. We need to hang in there and hope to nick a goal for a one-nil win.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:00 pm

I think Southampton have been the best team we've played home and away, really good side. I'd take a point today for sure

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:01 pm

When we played down there there was a stone wall penalty not given to us when it was 0-0 and then one of theirs dived and a pen was awarded, we are owed a result today

COME ON SUPER BURNLEY
