Do we have the players with enough bottle & grit to go there & grind out 3 points. On what i have seen this season the answer is quite clear NO. So prove me wrong Stoke.

Southampton will be when we visit next week its all about nerves & bottle & who wants it more from what i have seen we do not have that in our squad. But like i said prove me wrong Stoke & nobody will be happier.

I know we've had loads of 'must win games', but this really is a 'must win game'.

Lose this and we are down. Well IMO we are down already. Southampton have a better team than us but it'll come down to who wants it more.

Southampton have a better side than us and home advantage so clearly they will start as strong favorites.
But they have been misfiring of late so I suppose you never know.

We certainly can't afford to lose this one, but the same goes for Shampton.

Really thought Jese would have replaced Choppo, Glen piggin Johnson, whats that all about? Let himself down there Lambo because they had obviously used the time off wisely working hard and planning. Same preparation for next week will get us a win because Saints can't score for toffee either!!

Pretty sure the saints fans will have a similar thread on their board predicting doom and gloom
They feel as resigned to relegation as us

In some ways being at home there could be more pressure on Southampton if they start badly. Thought we battled well today and the main weakness was our forwards who were completely ineffective.
I’d go with
..........................Jack....................... Bauer........Zouma....Indi...........Staf ..........................Geoff..................... ...............Badou...........Allen........... .....Shaq............Choupa..........Jesé

Basically we just need to win. Doesn't matter who it is against, throughout the last 10 years in the prem, we've beaten every team at some point, even the big boys. So whilst there may be "easy" games that everyone is trying to work out how many points we hope to get from, basically we've dropped 9 from the last 4 games if that's correct. Earlier in the season we beat Arsenal 1-0 and didn't look any better in that game than we have in those last 4 where we earned the same amount of points from (watford 1, bournemouth 0 brighton 1, leicester 1). So regardless of the team, we just need to get a win...preferably a couple, and fast

No. Lose and there'll still be 9 games to go with plenty of teams still around us. This is the attitude that's seen us where we are now. Head in the sand and praying and holding hands. We are wank. Probably the shittest side in the league with fuck all going for us.

Probably the shittest side in the league with fuck all going for us. Lose next week and we'll still have a chance. Surely you can't deny that. Every single week from now until the end of the season teams around us will drop points...that's what happens in relegation battles because, guess what, invariably everyone involved in them is shit...just like us.
