John Boy Saint Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 I thinks its a shame its not the novelty of a team that we might never play again, at our place give them a grand day out in a big stadium with a nice big crowd, and probably them giving us a good run for our money for the first hour. Nope its the same old shoite............... Who will give us a good run for our money because they are so use to playing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Since there are enough of you who have done it would someone kindly tell me why this is a "crap and boring" draw ? Surely a team in a lower league who we should beat to progress to the 3rd round is a good draw isn't it ? And how can it be boring ? It could end up 6-4 !!!

How many times have we drawn them in the last couple of seasons? One advantage (if you can call it that) of being in the 1st and 2nd Rounds, is that you might actually get to go to a town or a ground you've never visited before.

Did anyone say the Quarter Final draw at home to Wolves back in 2003 was boring by the way ? No because that was the quarter finals, this is the second round, a long way off the quarters. I predict beating Northampton and drawing someone like Blackburn away in the 3rd round and losing 2-0. Simple and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team that night: Southampton: Davis, Murty (Thomson, 76), Thomas, Lancashire, Harding, James, Wotton, Schneiderlin, Lallana, Lambert (Gobern, 85), Paterson (Rasiak, 66). Quite a different team (no big CBs, no Hammond, little or no pace) while the likes of Lambert (for whom Northampton was his debut) were finding their feet.

qwertySFC Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Im sure their ground has a stand for away fans that allocates about 800 tickets , does it need to be more for FA Cup ?

Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Mmm, not particularly exciting draw really - pity we haven't got a 'simulate' button like on FIFA to skip on. The team need to go into it with a winning mentality clearly, but hey if we crash out I'm not going to be appalled. Bigger fish to fry this season IMO.

yorkie Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Very underwhelmed - but as for the Charlton game this afternoon - they were like us last season at Bristol Rovers! There was only ever going to be one outcome...the underdog winning. I don't think it will make any difference whatsoever as they will come to SMS looking for a draw, and hope to sneak a win. An early goal for us is very important - I'd stick with 4-5-1- and switch to 4-4-2 in the second half - it sems to do us OK. We don't get overrun in midfield and concede early goals - and then step up a gear when they have run out of puff! I honestly do not think we have anything to worry about on Wednesday night! Did you see that elbow by McLeod? he should have been red carded for that! I'd love to see him try that type of approach on Jaidi!!! Off to Bristol tomorrow - I hope to bump into some Rovers fans as I'm heading for the infamous Southmead district. This area was made notorious for their welcome to our Asian friends the other night on Panorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure capacity is only about 8,000 so what ever the percentage is for FA Cup these days Capacity is about just over 7,600, we are entitled to 15% as it's a cup game so we will get about 1,150.

ericofarabia Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Major draw back is that they have such a small ground we'll only get about 1100 tickets, if they apply the 15% rule for Cup Ties. The game will probably get changed to the Friday evening by the police because it clashes with a car boot sale or something similar Accrington Stanley in round 3 would be nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_John Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 As Preston will not allow Neil T to play in the FA Cup and he is on 4 bookings it would be nice if we could arrange for him to get booked against Norwich (21 Nov), so that his one match ban is on the 28th Nov. (I'm assuming the 7 day rule is still in force (suspension starts 7 days after last booking). If they have changed it to come into line with red cards (suspensions start immediately) then make that 5th booking against Hartlepool). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Not sure you can serve a suspension in a game you are not eligible for. Interesting point that. He is eligible to play as he is officially on loan at Southampton. As far as I know, any other 'understandings' about not playing against the club that holds your registration or not getting cup-tied are unofficial and cannot be written into the loan agreement.

As far as I know, any other 'understandings' about not playing against the club that holds your registration or not getting cup-tied are unofficial and cannot be written into the loan agreement. There are rules about loanees in the FA Cup and the loaned club has to get permission from the loaner club, so I would assume as no permission was given he would be ineligible to play.
