oxfordshire_saint Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 Is was a full-strength side we put out there last year. I can imagine it'd be a mixture, much like the Salisbury game.
eelpie Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 They beat Brentford 2-1, who are currently 'top' of league 1 while we are statistically bottom. So this is a more realistic pre-season match than others, in fact. I hope we do not under-estimate them.

So this is a more realistic pre-season match than others, in fact. I hope we do not under-estimate them. Probably players who did not Start the Hearts match Saga Rasiak up front?
SuperMikey Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 Anyone know what ticket details are? I'm guessing it's pay-on-gate, and I can't see anything about prices on the site. Cheers guys!

smithy Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 Probably players who did not Start the Hearts match Saga Rasiak up front? Can't see Saga playing for us again - Rasiak was superb yesterday, maybe he will stay?

wireframebox Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 Well I guess I'll be going to this after work then, the ground is like 10 minutes from our office!
SFC Forever Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 Hopefully we will give a few different players a game along with some from Saturday. QPR should then be a final runout for the team AP wants to play against Millwall.
skintsaint Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 I reckon this is a reserve fixture, but with a few players who will need to convince AP they have a part to play next season plus maybe a trialist or two? I think the QPR game is going to give a better idea of the first XI for next season (apart from signings)
Dan Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Went last year, absolute nightmare to get to from the station. Wont be going tonight.
trousers Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Went last year, absolute nightmare to get to from the station. Wont be going tonight. it's a 20 min walk from the station. Almost as far as the walk from Southampton Central to SMS. Nightmare....

I think the QPR game is going to give a better idea of the first XI for next season (apart from signings) I've got a feeling it'll be largely a 'first team' turn out. We're in need of match fitness / awareness and the fact that this fixture would seem to have been arranged at short notice since Pardew's arrival suggests to me that he wants to see his first choice in action as much as possible in the short time he has to instill his ethos in the players. I could be completely wrong of course! Anyway, will be popping along to find out. Will post pictures of anyone doing a C3PO impression tomorrow...(assuming I survive the trek to and from the station of course... )
RonManager Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Will post pictures of anyone doing a C3PO impression tomorrow...(assuming I survive the trek to and from the station of course... ) Book a B&B situated about 10 mins into the journey just in case.
trousers Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Book a B&B situated about 10 mins into the journey just in case. A B&B in Farnborough? You gotta be kidding....
RonManager Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 A B&B in Farnborough? You gotta be kidding.... I'm intending to drive up from Somerset this afternoon. I'll go via the station to the ground. If I see a body suffering from exhaustion I'll wave.

I am looking forward to similar advice and welcome from the Millwall Comms officer for our away trip there this year.
SuperMikey Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Anyone got any team news for tonight? FarnboroughFC, what sort of side are you going to be putting out too? I'm at the college just up the road so this is your chance to persuade me to leave this sorry lot and support you! It doesn't say Saints XI on the site, so hopefully we'll see quite a few first teamers running out there. For those worried about the walk, it's not that long really, about 20 minutes at most.

SaintDonkey Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1734761,00.html Good to see White in the squad - from what I've seen of him he looks a good player but has had a dreadful time with injuries.
trousers Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Cheers for info chris. Will be going with my 9 year old. Can I take him in the dugout bar area with me?

Saintjersey Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Who is Ryan Tafazolli, I see he's in the squad tonight?

Junior Mullet Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Good to see White in the squad - from what I've seen of him he looks a good player but has had a dreadful time with injuries. I would agree with that - one of the more naturally gifted players to come through our ranks in recent years but those injuries really haven't helped. He seems a determined little bugger though, so hopefully he will take his chance to impress when he can.
dello Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 off topic i know, but re the QPR game can we buy tickets on the gate?...am sure I read somewhere that we'll be able to, but couldn't see anything on the OS.... cheers

trousers Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Greetings from a sunny Cherrywood Road. I see Liebherr hasn't got around to buying a posh bus for the team yet. I had posher coaches on my school trips to marwell zoo. Fact

trousers Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Can we expect ball by ball updates during the game Trousers? Yup...exclusive updates over on the match update thread now
saintbletch Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Who is Ryan Tafazolli, I see he's in the squad tonight? He's a very tall CB who I've seen a couple of times at youth/reserve level. Very strong, composed and a good touch. Looked very slow though otherwise I think he'd be giving Lancashire a run for his money for the bench CB spot.
saintbletch Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Yup...exclusive updates over on the match update thread now I checked for a match day thread seconds before I look at this thread! You mean you can monitor two threads at a time and start a "Match updates" thread on a mobile quicker than I can reply to you on a PC. Impressed. I'll check out the other thread.
saintjay77 Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 just signed up to twitter and now realize what a big pile of pants it is. saints updates longer than 15 words long disapear off the side of the screen never to be seen again lol
