You make me laugh cause your a total muppet.

 

Anyway hopefully the team will be:

 

--------------Bart--------------

 

James---Perry---Thomas---Mills

 

Thompson---Gillett---Wotton---Holmes

 

----------Saga------Rasiak--------

 

Obviously with the front 2 I am being optimistic.

I totally disagree.

 

Even if you take out rasiak, spider, Lallana and Thomas I still think we have a top 5 team if with a half decent striker.

Some of these guys are too good for this league and I hope they prove it too.

 

Ok, worst team ever is out of the question but surely you can't expect anything from what will be left if we are not bought soon. If you take out those which you have suggested, Rasiak, Schneiderlin, Lallana and Thomas from the current squad list and also take out Davis, BWP, Euell, Saga, etc then you can only pick out 5 players who you can garantee will be capable of doing a job in league 1 (Bart, James, Gillett, Wotton and Holmes). In goal Bart has been around long enough for us to know about him and I think he would do a reasonable job, however defence is a major issue as Perry has lost his legs and lacks a physical presence when faced with a big striker. Lancashire is similar to Perry however has pace but no experience and has a tendancy to pick up stupid cards. Mills is slightly tested in a handful of games league one with Scunny however didn't feature in all while he was there. So besides James who looked assured towards the end of last season we don't have a proven defender for league one. Wotton didn't have a great season last year but has experience of the league, as does Gillett who looks set to become a key player next year. Holmes looked good until injured and hasn't really featured since then so it is impossible to tell how good he will be when he returns. All the others have only played a handful of first team games and so it is impossible to judge how well they will fair next year. Gobern and McClaggon were hit and miss, while White was far from impressive vs Blackpool. Reports suggested that Thomson had an encouraging spell at Bournemouth but in League to and you can't assume he will make the step up.

So I accept I overexaggerated but you can't put an 11 down that you are confident will still be here vs Millwall that on paper you would look at and think "We have a strong team for this division". Much like our off the pitch situation, which i regretably bring up, our on the pitch situation is still very much in the unknown. I hate to be pessimistic but after so many seasons of failure it is impossible not to be.

(Sorry for the long post and the depressive nature but it has to be said)

No Lallana in the squad. Denials that he'll be allowed to leave on the cheap.

 

He's off then.

Wotte is quoted as saying he will give John a run in a couple of these preseason friendlies to see if hes up to it aymore basically,,,if so id expect to see him playing today. I hope so anyway. He undoubtedly has been there and done it got the t shirt dvd and etc etc international goals plus of course the sheff utd performance. Did not fair well at bcfc las year but heres hoping he wants a contract and will put in some effort to get fit and earn one, starting today.

 

If he smacks one in from 30yards, on the half volley, as he likes to try on occasion, it will be worth the £10 entrance fee.

Incidentally under 12's are free so bring your kids....im bringing mine and they are excited about seeing saints again.

 

I wonder what the atmos will be like...can imagine a lot of us texting to the forum/list and plenty of rumour mongering...oh, and some footie as well!

 

please support the boys come what may...i cant imagine confidence can be sky high..
