Saints foreva Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Kelv Murty (If fit) - Thomas - Perry - Harding James - Gillett - Morgan - Holmes Lambert - Lallana/Pato
Crowds Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Davis Murty, Wotton, Thomas, Harding Mellis, Gillet, Morgan, Mills Lambert, Rasiak Bring on lallana and saga on 60mins when defence legs are tired!!
Bourno Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 As our new away kit has a bit of Yellow will we be singing yellows...yellows? as I couldn't sing come on you blues, and come on you reds may perk up Swindon.
dune Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 NO NO Too similar, replace him with Paterson or Lallana and i would be happy I agree with this. Lambert needs a workhorse to work alongside him.
homesick-saint Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Most teams in this league will lose to Huddersfield away this season and Mill wall was always going to be tough. We'll win at Swindon (at worst a draw) and will get better as new signings and better coaching takes effect. COYR
Evil Monkey Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 .....................................Davis Murty..............New signing.............New signing.............Harding New signing............New signing...........New signing...........New signing ................Lambert.................New signing What if Murty isnt fit?

RonManager Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 What about C'mon you Saints!! No, that'll never catch on -what are you thinking?
krissyboy31 Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 No, that'll never catch on -what are you thinking? Thought not!!
S-Clarke Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Heard Pard's on South today tonight....looked very downbeat ''We still need 1 or 2 players, but it's proving ever so hard. They probably wont be in time for Tuesday, but maybe before Saturday.''
shurlock Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 I would like: Davis James Perry Thomas Harding (if Murty injured) Mellis Gillett Schneiderlin Holmes Lallana Lambert With possibly Wotton to come in for Schneiderlin to give us more cover (though its the lesser of two evils) and Saga for Lallana if the free-role isn't working. But i think Pards will go with: Davis James Perry Thomas Harding Thompson Wotton Mellis Lallana Paterson/Saga Lambert
St.Patrik Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 This is a bit alarming. AP said last week that he needed 4-5 new players and was confident of getting them. Now its 1-2 and he says this. Wonder if its the -9 points that makes players hesitate to join Saints or not ?

Wonder if its the -9 points that makes players hesitate to join Saints or not ? It really did sound like he's struggling to attract players. I remember the same interview where he said about 4 players? just after Lambert signed iirc. He wanted to get them in quickly as there's no time like the present.... We've either been out priced...or our excellent start to the season has set some alarm bells ringing for potential signings. - I'd still say it's too early to judge us though tbf!
corsacar saint Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 I went there in about 1986, where Saints took a three[3] goal lead, in a two legged cup tie. Shilton was in goal and due to his heroics, the woodwork, and awful finishing by Swindon on the night we stole a 0-0 draw. I believe they missed a penalty as well, and on the night 6-0 would not have flattered Swindon. Hopefully we will be a lot better tomorrow, and get our first league win.

On the Saints Player, Pards seems to suggest that teams are playing hardball - with the window closing, clubs are waiting and seeing if bigger, rival bids come in while they are reluctant to loan players out in case they can sell them. If so, this has nothing to do with our situation and owes more to general market conditions.

Until the last few days of the window, when some clubs will accept anything just to offload players from the wagebill.

SFC Forever Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 A good win tomorrow night will help My line up would be:- Davis, James-Perry-Thomas-Harding,Thomson-Mellis-Gillett-Gobern,Lambert-Paterson Subs:- Bart,Lancashire,Thomson,Holmes,Rasiak,Lallana,Wotton

If so, this has nothing to do with our situation and owes more to general market conditions. Just listened to that. was a great interview, i really like what he has to say - he's spot on with our failings and how a couple of our players respond to situations. He was pretty adamant in saying only 2 more signings - and that's it though, he did say there would be no more after he's brought in the 2 he wants. He said we already have too big a squad and he doesn't want to increase it. ...unfortunately it's a squad full of utter trash, such as Pulis. Edited 17 August, 2009 by S-Clarke
AJ09 Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Davis Murty Thomas Perry Harding Mellis Schneiderlin Gillet Holmes Lallana Lambert
AJ09 Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Chances of Holmes playing??? Anyone got a spare ticket for the Swindon game? Junior or YA?
SNSUN Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 If this were Football Manager, aside from spending money on new players as if there were no tomorrow, i'd be playing 4-3-3, which, with no width in the side, i'd be interested to see try. My team would be: Davis Musty, or James if injured Thomas Perry Harding Lallana Gillett Morgan Greg Lambert Saga. I expect the team to be Davis James if Musty injured Thomas Perry Harding Mellis Wotton Morgan Lallana Saga Lambert
Jonnyboy Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Heard Pard's on South today tonight....looked very downbeat ''We still need 1 or 2 players, but it's proving ever so hard.

Saint J 77 Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 No New sigings today IMO means a draw is the best we can hope for at Swindon. Whats the problem getting the players in? Is Alan aiming to high for players that are un prepared to drop down to this level to a club on -9 points?
VectisSaint Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 No New sigings today IMO means a draw is the best we can hope for at Swindon. Whats the problem getting the players in? Is Alan aiming to high for players that are un prepared to drop down to this level to a club on -9 points? Or do they just want to join Notts County? Players are holding out for better deals, the window has another 2 weeks to run, there will be lots of activity on the last day. Then there will be loans. Don't panic. We are still good enough to take Swindon (I hope). They lost Cox and nearly went down last season, while we have a team as good at least as last season (when we were in a higher division). We may lack strength in depth, but 1st XI is still strong, we lost to Huddersfield who will be near the top at the end of the season.
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 We will find out alot more about our side tomorrow night as the majority of the side have something to really prove after Huddersfield to prove it was a 1 off and they are good enough to challenge in Div 1.Players like Thomas,Perry,Lallana,Morgan and James.I don't include Wotton as hopefully he will be dropped as we all know he is not good enough. I also heard AP on the radio.Will be disappointed if we only sign 2 more players as we clearly need 4 or 5 to have a really decent team especially if Rasiak and Saga leave.We would then need 2 strikers,a centre back and midfield maestro as a very minimum and ideally a pacy winger and another centre back. I fear we are struggling to get the players we want.Lets hope we get a couple of really good players by Saturday because the good feel factor is fast evaporating in the short term.Long term we will be ok but every defeat must make it more difficult to get the right players in. I'm disappointed we're not trying to make the play offs this season as I feel with 4/5 signings we all talk about and we could challenge this season.How many other clubs like Notts County will we be up against next season who get taken over and have money they are willing to spend unlike us at present? Why cant we be ruthless and cancel Molyneux,Pulis and Wotton's contracts and pay them up to get them off our staff and reduce our squad!?Then get in players who are capable of playing in the 1st team.Also send Lancashire out on loan. Hopefully tomorrow we will either win(preferred) or get hammered for the owners to decide more drastic immediate action with this
Saints Pedro Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 The rules are, if you lose a game, you have to write off all your players and sign a ****load of new ones. Good teams never ever lose, not even once. That's why every team to be promoted from each league is always undefeated. Schneiderlin, Mills, Gillet, sorry you've had enough minutes of league 1 now, we've reached a critical point and you should be released for free so we can bring in new players, because new players have all been great in recent years. Where would we be without countless new players. I love new players. Let's get 11 of them. Every week. Sadly that is only a slight exaggeration of some peoples' view!
saints triumph Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 As our new away kit has a bit of Yellow will we be singing yellows...yellows? as I couldn't sing come on you blues, and come on you reds may perk up Swindon. COME ON YOU SAINTS should work. I have never liked come on you reds as that is so far removed from our team colours and more suited to the likes of liverpool.
fanimal Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 Must win 3 points; 3000 plus away fans; local derby of sorts; winnable game; put a few more on the gate for Brentford; 2 home games coming up; get rid of gloom and doom; about time a few stood up and were counted; Lose this and we truly are bad and will stay in bottom 3 for a long time......dont care about give it time, patience blah blah weve had enough of that for ages now,get in get on with it, prove you care,pleaseeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 Time to try out a 5 man midfield in away matches ?
OfnPanad Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 If this were Football Manager, aside from spending money on new players as if there were no tomorrow, i'd be playing 4-3-3, which, with no width in the side, i'd be interested to see try.

I expect the team to be Davis James if Musty injured Thomas Perry Harding Mellis Wotton Morgan Lallana Saga Lambert Interesting but not much width in either of those formations....hmmm....would a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 leave us exposed on the wings?
dello Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 although if we do lose it may have the effect of Cortese asking Liebherr for more money for players!....

In case you hadn't noticed, there are plenty of midweek games in the third division. What the ****'s the point of putting out eleven new players to lose to Swindon on a Tuesday, if you're then going to pick any of them to lose again to Brentford on a Saturday? Way too conservative IMO. Get a grip.
nickfinks Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 I can see us getting a few goals tonight, bit of the old rebound after the weekend poo chunk performance
ottery st mary Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 3-1 to Saints or I can see me being relegated and applying for re election to the prediction league. Come on Saints. COYRs
surrey1saint Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 I have a feeling we will win 3-1 as well COYR!
Tractor_Saint Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 The team are arriving at the Swindon De Vere around noon and are staying there tonight (also having a pre-match meal) Just in case anyone fancied a beer this afternoon or after the match
Arizona Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 Ok, how about this formation [center]Davis Thomas Perry Murty Harding James Lallana Mills Saga Rasiak Lambert [/center] Basically Davis rolls the ball out to Lallana, the other 9 players shield him from the Swindon team and we slowly dribble the ball forwards and accross the goal line.
Torres Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 Ok, how about this formation [center]Davis Thomas Perry Murty Harding James Lallana Mills Saga Rasiak Lambert [/center] Basically Davis rolls the ball out to Lallana, the other 9 players shield him from the Swindon team and we slowly dribble the ball forwards and accross the goal line. I like the way you manage to find room for Saga in any lineup you ever suggest
dubai_phil Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 Think this game is still too early for us in our rebuilding, but expect a much better performance than on Saturday. Have it down as 2-1 to Swindon. But then I'm aiming for the wooden spoon this season... Davis Murty/James Thomas Perry Harding James/Mellis MS Wotton Lallana Patterson Lambert Subs Bart Gillett Holmes/Mellis Gobern Rasiak Saga Lancashire Personally I would WAY prefer Gillet in CM but until we find another experienced midfielder I think he will stick with Wotton, unfortunately
Saint_clark Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 It's all very well having an experienced player in there Phil, but he doesn't bring anything to the game. Literally, nothing.
