AWAY TO MAN CITY

After Sunday's performance, Saints should at least start the game with a little more confidence. It is asking an awful lot for them to get a result from this one.... although City did struggle just a bit to get the win at Huddersfield. Plus, I guess there is a chance Grino may decide to rest Austin if Sunday took it out of him.

Fairly certain Austin wont play, shattered at the end and I would save for Bournemouth. Long up front who will at least chase down long balls even if he wont score. He has some options in midfield and would expect Romeau to start, possibly in place of Davis, again although he hasn't been great this season I would have Davis starting against Bournemouth for this experience. He might give Redmond a start and rest either Tadic or Boufal.

At least I feel we might not get hammered, Huddersfield did play it very tight and at home but with Fraser in goal no way we will not concede and cannot see anything but a City win but if he rests some key players, we don't get hammered and we then win at Bournemouth it will be a good call.

Well, no points but certainly not disgraced. If only Maya, Hoedt and VVD had taken chances they had, we might have got something from the game.

Your team selection forecasting was spot on Matty, did Grino take your advice?? Long in for Austin, Romeu in for Davis, Redmond in for Tadic.

It was unfortunate not to get a point and as you say its about time our centre backs started scoring.
