West End Saint Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Looks a nice team, but still lacking that bit of balance on the left IMO. Harding could be left really exposed in some games. The bench for this level is absolutely amazing though. Only leeds could field such a strong bench IMO. I do think Pard's will go for the unchanged team though, Mellis will probably be too tired to start because of the international games... I think you are right AP will stick to the same team as Southend & to be fair to Wotton he had a good game got stuck in & away from home is probably what you need (though he has the passing ability of a Donkey with 4 left feet). If everybody is fit & available he wont change a winning team nor should he the boys that played are worth there shirt more of the same please UTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrimd Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Should be a good game , just 2 points above us if you count points earnt, but we have momentum so I say 1-3 away win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 on OS Pardew talks about how excited he is about Connolly starting upfront with Lambert and how most teams won't be able to cope. But then adds that if we keep winning Connolly will have to wait. Sounds like he doesn't want to change winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Strange to think we are going to places like Oldham and worrying about getting beaten again! How strange it is for people on here to think it our right to win at places like Oldham - sure we should have been scared if we were still a Premiership club as we always underperformed at such places butnow...? Forecast is bright, just hoping the match goes our way - then the trip back across the Pennines won't hurt as much! COYR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycombe Saint Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 0 - 1 Lambert in the 5th minute and then a sturdy performance followed by the "alamo" for the last 15 minutes! But all in all a satisfying win and we finally move off the bottom of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 I hope most of you are right - I'm off to this now but sitting in the home stands as a mate I'm going with is an OA fan - could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 A new ground for me to add to the list of ones i have visited. Based on the form guide they sit 7th with the same amount of points as us. They don't score many goals and they don't conceed many either. Only 2 in their last 6. So it is going to be a battle and a test to see if we have turned the corner. If we won that would be 4 in a row in all competitions and god knows when we did that last. They are a good team, but i think we now have a very good team who when up for it could murder teams in this league. If Waigo,Lallana,Morgan,Hammond,Lambert play to their levels then it could be like the shoot out at the OK Coral. But this is Saints and when ever we are just about to climb that hill and reach the top somehow we always slide back down! So i got a feeling it will be 0-0.....Either that and we really have changed from the old day's and go on to win 0-2. Im hoping for the latter!

Blandford saint Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Always remember Oldham's ground being really freezing - it's very high up. I remember going up there a couple of times - "Benali Day" when lots of us wore moustaches for the last match of the season; also remember Le Tiss scoring a hat-trick and losing 4-3 (I think they had to win to stay up.) Any rate, I'm going for a hard fought draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Too much optimism going on, 1-0 Oldham 2-1 Oldham lets not get too carried away. A lesson will be learned as Oldham grab a convincing win. All this talk of promotion is craaaaazy, we have a long way to go. My inbuilt pessimism says an oldham win, with the outside chance of a snatched late equaliser for Saints. I hope I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 I'm expecting Pards to stick with a winning team, except for forced changes, such as if Mellis isn't back from International duty, but it would be great to see Connolly come off the bench and score!

dubai_phil Posted 17 October, 2009 Share Posted 17 October, 2009 I'm another who remembers Oldham as being freezing, stuck up the back corner of an old wooden stand. Difficult place, such a typical "alien environment" "Northern Town" for us country folk They have a solid team, have this down as 1-1, and injuries/jet lag permitting expect AP to keep the same team as Southend with Melis back onto the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 17 October, 2009 Share Posted 17 October, 2009 Morning all from a cloudy East Riding. Just about to put me Doc's on for a trip across the Pennines to cheer the lads on! Must be wary of walking around Oldham though as I seem to remember Asians baniing whites from walking in their street...good job the League of St.George are not rallying for members today in Oldham! Match report later after the game...but no doubt by then those not at the game will be one of these two scenarios...slagging them off because we lost/drew or waxing lyrical because they won! As for me a couple of pints, a bit of a laugh and no voice left after shouting (rather singing) for all I'm worth. Come On You Reds! No doubt I'll bump (being the right word of use) Bungle today...he was such a Luvvie. In case he has one of those internet phones and checks on here - mines a Guinness!

saintsmike25 Posted 17 October, 2009 Share Posted 17 October, 2009 You have to look at the fact Oldham haven't been beaten in 5/6 games. The teams we've beaten aren't the form sides, Gillingham/Southend/Yeovil. I'll be happy with a point, to keep up some form but I can see Oldham getting all 3..
