Barnard

--------------BARNARD----

Pretty sure one of Barnard / Lambert will start.

 

 

i would be amazed if barney plays

 

Thedelldays is correct.

 

Barnard has had treatment and has to rest for 3-4 days. He will likely resume training on Monday.

Posted
Connolly could be a decisive player in this game and he is without a doubt one of our best players. Trouble is that he spends a lot of time in the treatment room.

 

If only we had appointed Hoddle in 2004, he'd have known how to keep Connolly fit.

Posted

Living in Gloucestershire I do not want to see us resting too many,or taking the game too lightly. No, this is not the match to experiment or start with Bart.

 

See Cheltenham have a skate bastard playing,just to add some venom to it.

Posted

I notice Leftback has disappeared...

 

 

Anyways.

 

Davis

 

Frazier

Jaidi

Martin

Dickson

 

Lallana

Hammond

Gobern

Holmes

 

Connolly

Lambert

 

I reckon

 

Hopefully we don't pick up any injuries/suspensions.

 

I couldn't really care much for the FA Cup this season, as much as i would love us to go far, i can't stand this poxy league. And yeah, thats a bit arrogant, but i don't care, this league is sh*t.

We need to play a decent team and win the game not that bothered about the FA Cup but important to maintain our home form would be nice to see Lambo score from open play all he needs is a couple of goals.

 

I think he may rest 1 or 2 but I hope we get the win defo dont want a draw the league is be all & end all this season we have to get promoted this season or we will lose our best players our only hope of getting Lallana to sign is to go up.

Posted
Would like to see Holmes start and I think with nobody coming in today it's pretty crucial for Doble and Gobern to get some game time.

 

Yes. Also, Bart, Connelly and Martin could use some game time. But it's dangerous to make 6 changes. I hope for maybe 3 from these.

Posted

Would like to see a few changes, i don't know why people on here are so worried about us bringing in players like Bialkowski/Doble/Gobern etc, we still should beat Cheltenham.

 

If I were NA I'd pick:

 

Bialkowski

 

Reeves

Seabourne (If fit)

Martin

Butterfield

 

Dickson

Hammond

Gobern

Holmes

 

Lambert

Doble

 

 

I have a funny feeling we may see James Ward-Prowse and/or Jake Sinclair on the bench, don't know why I think that, but I think we might.

Posted
Another chance to get Sir Rickie firing on all cylinders, if this had been a league match then there might have been a selection issue.

 

If Ricky is firing all all ..whatever you said, and he doesn't score against Cheltenham then we seriously have to look at some extra cover up front..

Posted

When I went for a run this morning I asked at the Ticket Office about the number of Tickets sold and was told 7,000.

 

They also had black mats or covers over the Chapel end of the pitch. The Northern end was in the sun.

Posted
well.....almost !

 

I don't think I'd play both Seaborne AND Martin, one or the other, with Fonte OR Jaidi, maybe

 

7000 would be a disaster.....and I don't want to argue about Elizabeth Bishop thanks.No semantics on a Friday

he's gone to millwall?

Anyways.

 

Davis

doesn't say much for our team currently only laying in seventh place in said league.

shouldn't have trouble walking up and getting tickets if I decide to take the kids then.

Especially if Chaplow is Ruled out, then that would mean a Hammond/Gobern pairing and then no other CM in the first team, hence why I believe JW-P might get a bench place

Callum McNish, Harlee Dean and others would be ahead in the pecking order (if fit).

Not Jaidi, I'd say 3 games in a week is a bit beyond his legs.

Fonte is possibly our most important player, I wouldn't want to play him either.

 

Nothing at all wrong with either Martin or Seaborne and I see no reason they can't play together. They are both young, athletic, eager to prove and above all, good. Same with Bart. I don't get the general attitude on here that playing him would be to our detriment. He put in some excellent performances last season, notably against Charlton and Norwich in the JPT. In fact in the 12 games he played last season, we won 9, drew 1 and lost 2. The two defeats were at Leeds and Colchester. Both bogey grounds for Saints. 2 of those wins came playing for Barnsley in CCC.

 

There's no point in having a squad if you're not prepared to play half the players.

Bart should play !

It is out of order that he can't get the odd appearance IMHO !

He has played at a much higher level than v Cheltenham Town and (given that we should do most of the attacking anyway!) surely wouldn't let us down !

I just think that it must be demoralising, permanently waiting for KD to pick up an injury !!

don't see why he puts up with it really;He can get a regular game elsewhere so why does he hang around. must be paying him a big wodge.

can't be very motivated I guess, he's played about 21 games for us in the 4 years he's been here, true he did get injured for a while.

I know, its just sickening to see my team sink so low :(

 

As for the bench midfield spot, i'd like to see young Harlee Dean, i have heard decent things about him.

Posted

i've seen both Harlee Dean and JW-P play and let me tell you, young James Ward-Prowse is better at 15/16 than Harlee Dean looks capable of. I saw him play twice in pre-season and I still can't understand why we signed him

He was out of contract last summer wasn't he ? There was no great demand for his services then despite being out of contract and available.It was rumoured he might sign for Braga before an injury scuppered that move.

Could be the money he's asking for.

Schneiderlin doesn't rate a place at the moment he is a long way behind Chaplow and Hammond when it comes to the needs of the team. He has scored one goal in over two seasons and never gets into dangerous positions. In a team with aspirations to win the league and most of it's matches against hard working teams the last thing we need is a strolling player that settles for nothing passes to players five yds away and then holds. He never ever goes on the sort of run that both Hammond and Chaplow carried out for Chaplow's goal. A lot of the time he takes up the role of a strolling spectator and more often than not when a crisp forward move is started stops it by playing a square or backward pass then rather than move for the return holds and strolls. After two seasons he is a luxury player we can do without.

 

Very observant and true................

Exactly what the Blackpool Manager thinks

today...I would play

 

Bart

 

butterfield fonte martin dickson

 

chamberlin hammond gobern holmes

 

lambert do prado

 

This. Would have Connolly over Guly though.

Posted

Chelts striker "goulding" plays like a young James beattie. Thomas plays a little like blackstock and Riley a little like claus.... Have seen them play a few times this season as they are close to my home...

Posted
Lets give Marlon Pack the reception he deserves!

 

Number 24 in case anyone wants to join in my chorus of you skate bastard

Posted
At 9/1 I think Cheltenham are worth a cheeky tenner, dont want us to progress in the cup anyway ...its all about the league

 

each to their own, but personally I have no idea why any Saints fans would be happy to see us go out of the FA cup. Two or three extra games won't make or break our season. The FA Cup third round draw without us tomorrow, no thank you.
