I’ve got distinct memories of some important draws or defeats when by rights we should have stuffed them. Sure Le Tiss scored a cracker up here. In the PL, they've only beaten us 3 times at SJP. 1994, 1997 and 2015. We've beaten them 14 times. Edited April 29, 2023 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 When going through the highlights of past games against them for the OP I completely forgot about last season's game against them in August 2021. Performance was utterly vile and the SJP crowd finally was able to turn on Bruce given the behind closed doors games of the previous season. Somehow found ourselves 2-1 up in the 90th minute before we conceded a 96th minute pen which they scored. Heady days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I must admit the nerves are kicking back in for tomorrow. Not because of a worry about our ability vs theirs. I’m just worried that there might be an element of complacency from the crowd… if the crowd isn’t bouncing early on that sometimes finds its way down to the players. Fingers crossed for another fast start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get the bit between our teeth it could be carnage for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for another fast start. Same. These went away to Arsenal scored 3 goals and came away with a point. 9 times out of 10 we win this game but that 1 out of 10 keeps popping into my head. An early goal would be huge for us and a massive blow for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I used to look at the match day weather forecast in the hope it would be horrendous and make a mess of the match and even things out a bit. Now I'm pissed off the weather looks crap at around match time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) That game in 1994, after what Le-Tissier did in the away game, was nervous everytime he was anywhere near the ball. Didn't matter how we played, what was to stop him megging a couple players and wellying it in from 30yards. Could tell the players felt the same way leading up to the free-kick winner. A win would be like the week of Leeds away, Arsenal away then Boro at home wins over Christmas under Sir Bobby, we've got a bank holiday instead...plus the weather is just the same Edited April 29, 2023 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Despite the Big Joe, Little Joe, left side combo being one of our strongest areas I’d be tempted to start Gordon in this to give Joelinton a rest - we’re going to need him in the run in and if he’s carry a hamstring issue surely it’s be better to rest him. I think we’ll scrape a nervy win today 2-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If Longstaff is out I would bring Gordon in and would leave Murphy on right, wasn’t impressed with Miggy the other night. Hopefully Anderson might get 20 to 30 mins on left at some point today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Very much assuming Murphy is back in Isak. Don't think it's necessary but tempting to have both Wilson and Isak start today... Could run up a cricket score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Like any game in the PL if you’re off it you can get beat. These have some decent players Alcaraz, Ward Prowse and Lavia in midfield. They we’re decent in LCSF up here for long periods in 2nd half, could be tricky if we’re not on it from the off.
