FRANCHISE FC V OPPOSITION FC build up fred

[patred44]

what's our chances against the second most hated club in this division?:)

[gjphilsaint]

I shall be there to cheer on the Saints... I predict a 2-2 result, it sounds like we are yet to fire up front and our defence still need to get into their stride...

[Weston Super Saint]

I'm going for : Franchise FC 1, South Coast Team 2

[Hatch]

Franchise FC 0 - South Coast Team 2

 

scorers.

 

Young winger and Scouse striker.

[Jones91]

I can't wait to see all the photos in the paper of this one

[Spudders]

I bet the MK fans are looking forward to their cartoons!

[jjsaint]

I think the result will depend largely on the fitness of Opposition Top Scorer. Without him I fear we could struggle through a 0-0 draw.

[SuperMikey]

3-2 to the Oppo FC!

[Bailey]

I expect to see Lallana and Lambert starting after coming through the Bournemouth game unscathed. I'd go with the following . . .

 

---------------------- Davis -------------------

 

Butterfield ----- Fonte ----- Jaidi ----- Harding

 

Puncheon --- Hammond --- Schneiderlin --- Lallana

 

-------------- Lambert ---- Barnard -------------

 

Subs: Bialkowski, Seabourne, Oxo, Wotton, Mills, Connolly, Dickson.

[Appy]

I am looking forward to their managers pre match interview.

Its not Ince anymore, so there wont be any Saints bashing.

[jam]

Its not Ince anymore, so there wont be any Saints bashing.

 

Robinson was the saints-basher-in-chief last year. I don't remember Ince saying anything about us at all.

[The9]

I like this thread, it has amused me. If we can all stick to euphemisms for "Away Team wearing black training kit", "Wotsit" and "mouthy wannabe Guv'nor ex-Franchise manager" this will all be a lot more entertaining.

[Appy]

I know its not Ince, Its Karl Robinson's interviews that amused us so much last season.

It's wrong I know but I get a semi just thinking how well that team can play if it all gels....

[SuperMikey]

FWIW, i'd start with Oxo up front again. MK are on about the same level as B'muff, and the lad can only improve with first team football.

 

------------------Davis-----------------

Butterfield----Fonte----Martin----Harding

Puncheon---Morgan----Deano-----Lallana

---------------Oxo----Lambert----------

 

Subs: Bart, Jaidi, Wotton, Dickson, Mills, Connolly, Barnard

[Arizona]

I'm going to say 2-1 to South Coast Club. Goals scored by old black centre half and tall scouse striker (the latter being scored from White dot in penalty area).

[Ashby Saint]

Seeing as Pele signed for them this work and ex-Oppo players always score against us. I'm going for 2:1 or 3:1 to the Opposition Team.

[Deppo]

Can we change the banner to 'Opposition FC Web'?

[doddisalegend]

I think the New Towners are stronger than last year so It should be a good match they've picked up some interesting players plus they owe us some payback (well four paybacks really). However if scouse striker and young wonder kid from Bournemouth are playing I think we will be to good for them shame superfast Reading loanee won't be there to give their ginger winger LB a hard time like he did last season.

[Andy_Porter]

Davis

Butterfield - Fonte - Seaborne - Harding

Hammond - Schneiderlin

Oxo-Chamberlain - Puncheon - Lallana

Lambert

 

I'd like the see the three behind Lambert play more fluidly and changing positions more often than they did yesterday.

If we can get the attacking midfielders performing that would be a great line up. Still I think it's a bit harsh on Barnard to leave him out - thought he played well in the first couple of games without getting the breaks.

[farawaysaint]

Come on you Unnanmed South Coast Club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bjk]

1-0 to Saints.

 

I'm top of the prediction league with two correct results so far.

Maybe a little harsh but he's a fantastic option to have on the bench.

[ohwhenthesaints]

Will be interesting to see how this one goes. Obviously we beat them four times last season so I would expect Karl Robinson/Pilkington to use that in his team talk in order to fire up the Dons. If we want to win the league though, these are the games we should be winning fairly easily.

[Saint Fan CaM]

This is the most important game of the season this week. Indeed a must-win game otherwise we'll be doomed to relegation and AP will almost certainly be sacked. Plus we'll lose our best players as they'll not want to be a part of a losing team after so many games.

 

1-2 Saints. Easy.

[docker-p]

1-0 to Saints.

Nobody likes a smart ass.

 

I'm backing Franchise 1, Opposition 2.

Oxo up front AGAIN? When did he play up front before? Unless I'm mistaken, Oxo was on the right wing against Bournemouth, with Puncheon playing up with Barnard.

 

I would like to see Oxo tried up front with Lambert though - I think his pace to get onto Rickie's flick-ons etc could work well.

[VectisSaint]

I predict Concrete Cows 1 North of Cowes 3

Prefer to see DC ahead of Barnard if RL is playing. We know DC and RL can work together as they showed early last season.
