Any one of the bright sparks on here work out the logic used by Adkins re the teams chosen for each game? Neither seems entirely the first or second choice? Just a random mix, with the team against Werder working out a bit stronger?

 

Think he is just using today to give everyone a run out

Yes he said in his interview, that it was another chance to try different partnerships and pairings and mix it around again so keeps everyone on their toes and competition high. I think for West Brom on Wednesday night and Yeovil next Saturday he will look to give players 70mins and some may even play 90

This is what he said after the St. Gallen game:

"I've changed the combinations of the centre halves, the forwards, the full backs, the wingers and the goalkeepers, they've all had a game, and next week I'll do the same."

 

Make of that what you will!

Guess that makes a bit of sense and looking through the sides from today and the Switzerland games, its trying a different combination/partnership each time. Guess its still more about match fitness than anything else at the moment.

I didn't go in the end. Out of my mates, only 1 would have been able to make it. It does seem like this is a very bilusy weekend for everyone so not really surprised by low turnout.

 

What was the other one doing?

I just worry that with the new rules on only being allowed 5 subs that our squad is now too large and we wont be able to keep them all happy.

Yeah, I've thought this. If we have a close to fully fit squad, its definitely going to cause problems.

A quick start to the final game but no chances of note to mention just yet...

At Bilbao corner

Saints pressing - great chance to go ahead but for a great save by Frenandez in the Bilbao goal.

Great strike by Ryan Doble another great save! A really fast pace and both teams playing flowing football.

At. Bilbao moving the ball round quickly but Saints quicker on the break!

Lee Holmes with a great one - two but fires over the bar...

Aaron Martin great tackle to deny At. Bilbao the opener

There aren't too many of the Skate squad that you'd pick ahead of our second 11, never mind the first!
