del boy Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I think everyone would agree that Pardew should put out the same starting XI with maybe Seaborne in for Jaidi and James on the bench? I'd like to see a comfortable 3-1 win but I can see it turning scrappy so I'll predict a 1-0 to the mighty Saints. COYR! Seaborne is out according to this, and Morgan doubtful.. http://www.teamtalk.com/football/preview/0,16374,1783_5970829,00.html?
sperm_john Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 when everyone expects saints to win by 3 or 4, we win by 1 or 2 at the most, so i'm gonna punt for 2 nill
Chez Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 You are kidding aren't you? Wembely and a chance of a trophy or Wycombe on a tuesday night ummmmm a tough desicion that one.:shock: Personally I'm more enthusiastic (today) about going to Adams Park than I am to Wembley. I've been to the JPT games and I have found myself not really caring at all. It just feels so micky mouse to me. I'm sure come the day I will absolutely love it and look back at the Wycombe game and laugh at myself, but after Saturday the next league game is the most important game and I can't wait.
Window Cleaner Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Seaborne is out according to this, and Morgan doubtful.. http://www.teamtalk.com/football/preview/0,16374,1783_5970829,00.html? Morgan took a lot of knocks on Saturday,always does, expect it's just usual teamtalk bolleaux, like betting on Wotton to be first scorer at only 22/1. Must be about 22/1 for him to even get a game.

Must be about 22/1 for him to even get a game. I wouldn't accept those odds for Paul Wotton `football genious' completing a pass.
opthomps Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Banana skin? This is where we need the right attitude and winning mentality that Pardew was harping on about for so long. Nice professional 2-0 would do very nicely. I agree about sticking to the same team if possible. Confidence should be high. I do hope that Alpine's notion of pummelling them to dust happens
Tomobz Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 just bought 6 tickets with ease...?! i would have thought we would sell out for this as its a close game... anyway, i cant wait! 0-3 saints
The Cat Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Agreed about our support. Considering Wycombe is relatively close for an away game (not much over an hour by car) it seems strange that we're not selling this out. We took loads to MK Dons for the semi final a Tuesday night for what was in the grand scheme of things a pretty unimportant fixture. If it was Reading away we'd take 2500+. It was poor on Saturday too. Is it because some fans have given up on the play offs, or is it just that everyone's going Wembley crazy and has forgotten about the league? What with Wycombe being desperate for points and needing to attack tomorrow this could easily be one of the most exciting games of the season, and it's only £18 and a quick hop up the M3 or A34. I almost fell like finishing with a Delia style "let's be 'avin you". But that would be sad, so I won't.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Who remembers the "£70 for a Leyton Orient ticket" fiasco. Where are these people now??
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 We had two sell outs last week, one of which required you to link to another game, and tickets for Wembley have just gone on sale. I for one can fully understand why we have had lower away attendances just recently.
James Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 2 tickets for Wycombe sorted, and 2 tickets for Wembley. Today has been a good day. Keep the same team please AP - Barnard to score again in a 3-1 win.
StuRomseySaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 (edited) We will take about 1000 to Wycombe, P*mpey game, Wembley game and the linked games are reason enough for people not to bother. If that wasn't reason enough then the tickets only being on sale since last week also doesnt help. I am going... the old dears brother lives there so I am dropping her off there and off to the game with my Wycombe supporting cousins... although I will be sitting on my tod in the Saints end. :-( Edited 22 February, 2010 by StuRomseySaint
gogo_saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I'm gonna be there but in the home fans with my Wycombe supporting house mate. Incidently, There's an article in this month's 442 magazine about the man who gives out the award for best groundsmen and he mentioned Wycombe were one of the best in recent years. Along with Saints too which is good to see. All about attitude now for these games, gonna go for 2-0 saints.
Saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Don't know how to call this one. We were fairly woeful against them at home. After an awful first half we only managed a 1-0 win, and they were the bottom side at the time. We really need to just grind them down and don't let them play their game of re-starts.
Saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 FYI - just had a nose at the wycombe forum. they said the pitch for tuesday will be a lot like wigans pitch yesterday, ie. (for anyone who didn't see) absolutely dreadful. To which somebody replied, "anything that will slow the saints down." bloody lower league football
SaintDonkey Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Assuming the Morgan injured story isn't just blowing smoke who do you think should replace him? Wotton seems the obvious candidate but rather a negative replacement. What about Holmes down the left with Lallana coming inside?

Wotton seems the obvious candidate but rather a negative replacement. What about Holmes down the left with Lallana coming inside? Puncheon in the middle, Antonio wide right. Easy. Although i'd rather put James in the middle and keep Puncheon wide, but I don't think James is fit?

(for anyone who didn't see) absolutely dreadful. To which somebody replied, "anything that will slow the saints down." bloody lower league football What the grass roots of the game. I've actually rather enjoyed the lower league stuff this year, its been intresting to play new teams and down here there are no plastics (you know no ones a Tranmere or a Stockport fan for the glory) Plus we actually might win a trophy. Of course I say this in full expectation that we won't be down here after next season at the latest. Even the football hasn't been as bad as I thought. Oh yeah 0-2 to the saints (Lambert and Harding) after a scrappy game on a cabbage patch pitch I reckon. Tomorrow will be one of those play bad still get the result type of games.
SaintDonkey Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Puncheon in the middle, Antonio wide right. Easy. Although i'd rather put James in the middle and keep Puncheon wide, but I don't think James is fit? After Puncheon's rave reviews for the Norwich game I'd rather not move him from that wing. Lallana tends to drift inside anyway so... I'd forgotten about James - I was also assuming he was injured. If he's fit I'd have him straight in for Morgan.
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 We will take about 1000 to Wycombe, P*mpey game, Wembley game and the linked games are reason enough for people not to bother.

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 we should be winning this game not kicked off yet...
Thedelldays Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 not kicked off yet... ok..we should win this game..anthing less will be a poor result
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 ok..we should win this game..anthing less will be a poor result Yes. Care to comment on how things will look after the game should we win?
Thedelldays Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Yes. Care to comment on how things will look after the game should we win? better than they do today...
The Godfather Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 The pitch will be awful tomorrow mainly because Wycombe played at home on Saturday, Wasps rugby club played on it yesterday and its been hammering down with rain most of today and the same forecast tomorrow. It will be a real battle tomorrow night as it will be similiar to Exeter & Brentford away. Hopefully with the excellent performance last Saturday the morale will be sky high.

I almost fell like finishing with a Delia style "let's be 'avin you". But that would be sad, so I won't. I do the journey every week and I go M3 then A33 to M4 for 2 junctions then A404 into Wycombe. Sounds complicated but its very easy.
Block 5 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I'm looking forward to this one. I haven't been able to make it to an away game since Colchester (*hangs head in shame).
Window Cleaner Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 According to th OS teamtalk has got it right for once, better back Wotton to score at 22/1 then.Seaborne is out with a knee problem and Morgan has a sore knee,he's doubtful, which probably means he'll play though.Hope Jaidi can make the 2 games in 3 days this time because we'd have to play Perry otherwise and that will put us up sh*t street again from 60 minutes onwards.
Toadhall Saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I think I will attend this one. I'm assuming I can pay on the gate?
VectisSaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 FYI - just had a nose at the wycombe forum. they said the pitch for tuesday will be a lot like wigans pitch yesterday, ie. (for anyone who didn't see) absolutely dreadful. To which somebody replied, "anything that will slow the saints down." bloody lower league football Wigan aren't in a lower league though (although they should be with the level of support they can muster)
Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I think I will attend this one. I'm assuming I can pay on the gate? Well I bought my ticket on-line this morning and then went to pick it up this afternoon at the ticket office only to be told I would have to get it at the Wycombe ticket office (it seems they sent it off in the post even though the match is tomorrow)! What a waste of blasted time and petrol that journey was. Anyway, it would appear there are plenty of spare away tickets. If you need a lift Toadhall, PM me as I'm driving up on my own.
Toadhall Saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Thanks for the offer Saint Fan CaM but I'll be going up with a few.
landford.saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 My better half and I are both finishing work early tomorrow and so have at this late stage decided to go... Can anyone confirm tickets will be available on the gate tomorrow night.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Thanks for the offer Saint Fan CaM but I'll be going up with a few. No problem matey.
Griffo Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 My better half and I are both finishing work early tomorrow and so have at this late stage decided to go... Can anyone confirm tickets will be available on the gate tomorrow night. Definitely.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 My better half and I are both finishing work early tomorrow and so have at this late stage decided to go... Can anyone confirm tickets will be available on the gate tomorrow night. As I said above, I bought mine today with no problems but have been told to collect them at the Wycombe ticket office. It might mean nothing, but it would appear there are still seats are available. Best thing is to phone 1st thing in the morning I guess.

Will phone tomorrow, but looks promising, see you lot there (hopefully)..
Clifford Nelson Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Should be straightforward, but also could be a real banana skin. After a great performance Saturday, this looks relatively easy, but Norwich set out to play and Wycombe may well sit back. Also Wycombe got a rare win on Saturday and that will have picked them up. And I agree, the state of the pitch will be critical. Once it's hoofball, it's anyone's game. Good point. Outplaying those who wants to play we have been quite good at, but playing deeper to lure out a defensive team and hit them on the break is not a skill I have seen us employ so far.
vicky Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 My better half and I are both finishing work early tomorrow and so have at this late stage decided to go... Can anyone confirm tickets will be available on the gate tomorrow night. I spoke to the TO a couple of hours ago. There are about 600 tickets left and they have confirmed with Wycombe that they will be available on the gate.
Griffo Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I spoke to the TO a couple of hours ago. There are about 600 tickets left and they have confirmed with Wycombe that they will be available on the gate. Well on the away forum two people have said that between 4 and 500 have been sold..
Chez Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 TO told me 1300 sold at 2pm 1900-600=1300. Nice. Can't wait. New ground and hopefully a win that will start to get us all thinking there is an outside chance of a play off slot.
Appy Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I was thinking 500 was short of the mark. Especially as its a new ground for many people.
dubai_phil Posted 23 February, 2010 Posted 23 February, 2010 http://www.wycombewanderers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10430~1974178,00.html Don't expect to find any freebie online links for commentary again, seems they also do the "subscription commentary" money earner
Window Cleaner Posted 23 February, 2010 Posted 23 February, 2010 0-5 Saints. Nope, the lads are going to be a bit sh*gged out after their sterling efforts on Saturday, boring 1-0 for most of the game with a second late goal perhaps 1 or 2-0 to us.
