Now it's a match thread

[saint_stevo]

Season's first?

 

[Appy]

The lack of goals in pre season really shows our need for a striker

[saint_stevo]

FFS- Wotton

[NickG]

Michael Owen -trialist - kept that one quiet!

Last minute replacement for Torres who had to pull out due to injury. Saints will probably not follow up their interest in Torres now.

[Master Bates]

Still waiting.

[RedAndWhite91]

Davis, Harding, Fonte, Martin, Dickson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wotton, Puncheon, McNish, Holmes, Barnard

 

From the SaintsWeb twitter.

[Thedelldays]

that probably means lambert is off

[John B]

that probably means lambert is off

 

Or playing in the second half

[Appy]

that probably means lambert is off

 

Hammond, Lallana, Morgan, Connolly, Jaid and Mills probably off too .

[Saint Garrett]

Harding RB then ?!

[Saint Garrett]

One thing that hasnt really been mentioned so far really is the prospect of Harding LB, Dickson LM, Puncheon potentially used as a quick forward?

[Saintandy666]

FC Thun 0-1 Saints. (12). Davis beaten from a great free kick from 25 yards #saintsfc

 

I'm confused.

[RedAndWhite91]

FC Thun 1-0 Saints

[Scoobysaint]

1-0 down according to william hill

http://news.williamhill.com/radio-fs/IP/#http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/1267056/Thun-v-Southampton.html

[Bananaman]

Barts off then...

[CWD]

1-0 to Thun, altho official saints is saying the opposite...

[Draino76]

This is a ****ing discrace.

[The Kraken]

Pardew out.

[beatlesaint]

Hammond, Lallana, Morgan, Connolly, Jaid and Mills probably off too .

 

And Richardson the new signing....only been here a week and off already !

 

Rubbish line up for such a major game

 

Pardew, Cortese and everbody else out FFS ! :lol:

[Master Bates]

[RedAndWhite91]

I thought the name rang a bell, they were in the Champions League in 2005 in Arsenal's group. Remember it well. We probably shouldn't underestimate them then.

[CWD]

FFS why can't the the club talk to the fans properly? Sibley, Cortese, Pardew, tea lady etc. OUT

[Thedelldays]

we should be playing the christmas pudding formation...this is a farking outrage..!!!!111

[saint lard]

It's going to be a long hard season ahead methinks.

As long as we finish fourth from bottom i will be happy.

[Sour Mash]

One thing that hasnt really been mentioned so far really is the prospect of Harding LB, Dickson LM, Puncheon potentially used as a quick forward?

 

But he's not very quick.

[Matthew Le God]

As long as we finish fourth from bottom i will be happy.

 

That would mean relegation to League Two.

[Saint J 77]

Davis always seems to get beaten by long range Free kicks.Do he need extra practice with his wall organisation? Or is it just bad luck?

[RedArmy]

4-5-1 ?

 

 

Pardew OUT!

[Nexstar]

When is always?

[Saint J 77]

Sorry I meant "Does he need extra practice with his wall organisation? Or is it just bad luck?"

[SO16_Saint]

That would mean relegation to League Two.

 

ah yes, but we WOULD walk L2....!

[The Kraken]

Presumably with it being our first game AP will only want to give the players 45 minutes each. So the second half line up will be (maybe): FourPast; Richardson, Jaidi, Seaborne, Mills; ???, Hammond, Schneiderlin, Lallana; Lambert, Connolly.

 

Aside from the fact that I can't think of a reserve right winger, on paper that's two decent teams we can put out.

I looked on the BBC site today and we are starting the season one place off the relegation zone

[Saint Charlie]

Is Gobern still around? Otherwise can only think of that Preen guy?

[saint lard]

[Saint J 77]

Most long range free kicks that are on target. Don't get me wrong I am glad we have him but that just seems to be a weakness. If you look back at a lot of last seasons goals that we conceded there where quite a few long range free kicks that went in.
