Shrivvy Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 No, I don't, only going as we live local. I'm just looking forward to seeing us hopefully score as the last two times, for league games, we haven't managed it at their place.
Clapham Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Panda, I agree 100%! It is disrespectful to any opponent and, in my view, arrogant to assume that we are that good! I'm more than happy with posters being confident but this phrase is tosh! However this phrase is top notch and should be used more often.
surrey1saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Is it just me, or does anyone else not really care about this noddy cup? No,I don't think many do.
CWD Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Is it just me, or does anyone else not really care about this noddy cup? I think we have a chance of getting quite far in it this season, considering the third round draw. However the most important thing is to keep up the winning mentality in the squad to maintain our league form imo.
edprice1984 Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 I've been thinking of chants for Mr Di Canio....best I could come up with was "You're just a s*** Mussolini, S*** MUSSOLINI!" Just a thought...
Northant Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Would love to see Stephens get a game tonight. OK sorry, would love to hear about Stephens getting a game on Saintsplayer tonight Uh oh, it's not a League game. Will Saintsplayer have commentary? Solent often doesn't work online overseas Stephens will probably get torn a new one, didn't play well against Kettering pre season.
Northant Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Hoping for a few changes tonight, we definately don't want to risk injuries ie to Lallana. Looking forward to tonight! Bart Butterfield Martin Seaborne Harding De Ridder Chaplow Schneiderlin Holmes Lambert Guly
Um Bongo Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Bart Butterfield Martin Dean Dickson De Ridder Schneiderlin Chaplow Holmes Forte Barnard Is Barnard injuried? If he is, Lambert will start.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Is it 5 or 7 on the bench for League cup?

marc_saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 For anyone local wanting to get tickets tonight they are not selling tickets to saints fans until 5:30 (which doesnt make sense to me and the girls on the box office didnt know either as we only had 750 sent down to Southampton last week)
petermcpete Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Ward-Prowse isn't playing for the U21's today, could he be in the squad tonight?
North Wilts Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 For anyone local wanting to get tickets tonight they are not selling tickets to saints fans until 5:30 (which doesnt make sense to me and the girls on the box office didnt know either as we only had 750 sent down to Southampton last week) Yes, tried to but some yesterday to save queueing tonight but was told the same. Will be an "away" ticket office donw the end of the Arkells stand near the stratton bank end, it will be the one with the big queue with 10 mins to kick-off
Hopkins Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 From looking at the U21's squad playing as we speak it's clear that Dean, Ward Prowse, Hoskins, Reeves (if none of them are on the bench) and possibly others may have travelled tonight. Stephens though has not. Bart, Butters, Martin, Dean, Reeves, De Ridder, Morgan, Chaplow, Holmes, Lambert and Guly is my guess.

Brussels Saint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 I actually quite like this cup as it does give those not currently in the first team a chance to play competitive football. This only works of course for teams (like us) who have 2 decent performers in each position. Our current back up team of: Bart Butters, Jaidi, Martin, Dickson/Fox De Ridder, Schniederlin, Chaplow, Holmes Barnard, Forte Is actually not a bad team and probably would survive relegation from the Champ. I know some of those are injured for tonight, but the point stands, we are pretty competitive and would expect to win with that team.
once_bitterne Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Harlee Dean isn't starting, he has tweeted that he is on the bench. Shocking attention to detail. If you click on the tweet the on the bench comment is in reply to someone asking if Lambert is starting.
JRM Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Had a few messages with my Swindon mate at lunchtime, he was very critical and said they were dreadful 2nd half at Shrewsbury on Saturday and have now lost 4 league games already this season. They will be a threat from set pieces which is a worry as that is the area we look most vulnerable at at Leicester on Saturday. The fans are starting to lose faith and get on their teams back, however they did have a good win away at Bristol City last week so we can’t be complacent and should give them respect not playing too many youngsters. Get through this and beat Charlton/Preston at home then being in the 4th round will start to generate a bit of excitement, especially if a few more prem teams go out before then.
VectisSaint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 For anyone local wanting to get tickets tonight they are not selling tickets to saints fans until 5:30 (which doesnt make sense to me and the girls on the box office didnt know either as we only had 750 sent down to Southampton last week) They said 6pm on Friday, hope that hasn't changed as we have made arrangements to get there between 5.30 and 6

Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 (edited) are we deliberately trying to lose then??? A team similar to that beat Torquay United 4-1 in the first round. Edited 30 August, 2011 by Matthew Le God
ericofarabia Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 I'm not sure anyone if football cares about it. Don't suppose we'd have to much of a problem shifting 30 odd thousand tickets for a day out at Wembley though, should our reserve team get that far!! As somebody else mentioned, it is a good chance to get fringe players a full run out, and even stake a claim for 1st team duty. Our "2nd" X1 isn't too shabby to be honest, and without a game like tonights to keep there interest up they could quite easily get a bit rusty. We certainly seem to have more strength in depth now, compared to The JPT where we had to use most of the optimum starting X1. A good chance to get the winning mentality back on track, especially with a blank weekend coming up.
Appy Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 We have a chance of a decent run in this cup for once. Especially with who we potentially play if we win tonight.
Dalek2003 Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Objective 1: Avoid injuries. Objectve 2: Avoid red and yellow cards. No more objectives.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Objective 1: Avoid injuries. Objectve 2: Avoid red and yellow cards. No more objectives. Win the game? Boost confidence?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 A team similar to that beat Torquay United 4-1 in the first round. not with Dean and Reeves though
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Harlee Dean isn't starting, he has Tweeted that he is on the bench. Plus I did say "similar".
Saint-Reece Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 not with Dean and Reeves though And possibly Ward-Prowse?
supersonic Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 And possibly Ward-Prowse? Ward-Prowse is injured, was supposed to be traelling but has picked up a knock and has stayed at home
once_bitterne Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Harlee Dean isn't starting, he has Tweeted that he is on the bench. Plus I did say "similar". Did you not read what I posted earlier? He put on Twitter that LAMBERT was on the bench......
sfc4prem Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Did you not read what I posted earlier? He put on Twitter that LAMBERT was on the bench...... He tweeted "on the bench". I presume that means that he, Harlee Dean, is on the bench.
dannysfc Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Was thinking of going to this but am somewhere else atm so will be giving it a miss and can save my money/ST for another game or something! Can see us win tonight (No Disrespect To Swindon!) and either play Charlton/Preston in Rnd 3-(Could also become a potential Banana Skin like someone on here said as well but hopefully Not!)! Am going to go for 3-0/3-1 Saints at least if not more with Lambert/Guly, Holmes, Martin for Saints! Will either watch/listen to Final Score if Solent aren't commentating on it tonight but will definatley listen to it if they are! COYR !!!

SNSUN Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 A team along the lines of: Bart, Butters, Martin, Seaborne, Harding De Ridder, Chaplow, Morgan, Fox Guly Connolly would do me. Win please. 2-0
dannysfc Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Have you just discovered the / key? Whatever... !
Rasiak-9- Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Is it just me, or does anyone else not really care about this noddy cup? psh....not really....but if we get past Swindon we've got an easy home tie against Charlton/Preston...and then we're only one game away from the 1/4 finals...so with a bit of luck we might make a decent run of it. It'd be a nice way to sort of announce our presence as a top level c/ship/low-level Prem team and might put us on the map a bit.
Thedelldays Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Whatever... ! dont listen to his danny mate..you bleed red and white mate.... COYRs
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 A team along the lines of: Fox He is cup tied.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 De Ridder tweeted that he isn't playing because he is injured. Hopefully nothing serious.
SNSUN Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 He is cup tied. Should never have signed him then. We're clearly not taking this competition seriously. Adkins out. (Lallana then. Let's not let Di Canio gloat afterwards.)
Belsey23 Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 De Ridder is injured apparently. Yeah looks like it from his twitter... @stief87 Steve De Ridder Injured...so not playing 2night! #grrr #gutted
Verbal Kint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 AL starting tonight. do you know the rest of the team?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 AL starting tonight. Good, we need to take this game seriously.Bounce back from Saturday, try new things with the first team.
S-Clarke Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 AL starting tonight. Nice one, I guess without a game for a week or so it makes sense for him to play - he's going to have enough rest anyway.
sussexsaint Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 De Ridder says minor ankle knock. Ok for next week
