Barry the Badger Posted 9 September, 2011 Posted 9 September, 2011 so that's rumours of 22, 24, 25 and 27k then. the ticket office staff have proved every game they seem to know bugger all. you'd have thought the info was available but it always contradicts.yre I wonder if anybody has ever had a member of the ticket office staff just say they have no idea about the attendance. It's almost as if they're under instruction to just take a guess.
cellone Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 (edited) Am actually Gutted that I can't make the game tomorrow as I'm going on holiday to Majorca on my Dads Brothers boat that he's rented out for the week which I am looking forward to and that should be Pretty Good! So fingers crossed that Saints will do me proud and win again and that we can go top depending on how Brighton do at Bristol City or something and other results go our way aswell but we'l see! Am going to go for 3-1 Saints with Lambert (2!) n Lalanna/Cork for Saints n Miller/McGugan or however his name is spelt for Forest to hopefully pile some more misery on Forest and especially Steve Mclaren!!! The last time I was on holiday was the 1st game of the season when we beat Leeds 3-1, Torquay in the Carling Cup n Millwall in the league! COYR !!! If Saints do well out of the next 3 game's and You catch something worth cooking (what else are boat's for, apart from going from A to B). I will not totally blame you unless it doesn't go exactly to plan. Edited 10 September, 2011 by cellone
SuperMikey Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Forest fans aren't confident best quote from their forum Basically we should prepare our collective anus, because we're about to be f**ked by the long red-n-white striped d**k of Southampton. Suddenly I feel more confident about this game now.
alehouseboys Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Does anyone believe that McClaren is going to be the manager that takes under-funded Forest back up...I think he will be a flop and will be sacked by the end of the season. If we were to give them a mauling this afternoon then I could see McClaren quit/sacked by the end of the day!
Minsk Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Head says 2-2 draw; Heart says 3-1 win. So I have predicted something in between.
IFHP Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Last time I asked the girl said 'I think it's about....' regarding ticket sales. Surely if they don't have the info, don't guess! Never understand why people ask “how many we sold then?” when they get their tickets.
Toadhall Saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 We'll want to get back to winning ways and I expect that (just).
PhilippineSaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 We'll want to get back to winning ways and I expect that (just). We did win the last game we played
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Really don't know about this one. For me it's my head saying we should win it by a couple of goals, and my heart saying this is saints, nothing's guaranteed. As mentioned, an early goal could be vital.
revolution saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Just watched shteve McClaren's interview on Forest Player and he didn't sound confident or happy.
sussexsaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 We wont 'tear them a new one' but we will make the one they have already look like a clowns pocket
Window Cleaner Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 A lot of optimism then, think this will be one of the key games of the season,would be handy if we could get a 1 goal margin win but Forest won't be the pushover many seem to think they'll be.A game that could easily go either way.
speed demon Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 My gut feeling is that we will win. More specifically Adkins would have worked on fitness through the break and I wouldn't be suprised if we put 3 or 4 past them. We've been to enough away days over the years expecting a spanking and it's about time others came to us feeling the same. We are in form, we are a strong team, we are Southampton. You've got every reason to be nervous coming here Forest. (watch us get dicked now I've said that)
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Some stats from the BBC site; shame they spelt Adkins wrong: Southampton • Defending a 100% record at St Mary's, and chasing a 12th successive home league victory; an outright club record, if achieved. • Nigel Atkins is completing his first year in charge of the Saints. • Victory would give them 15 points after the first six games of a league season for the first time, and make it their best start in 76 years. Nottingham Forest • Averaging a point a game (five from five), and vying for only their second league win of the season. • One of two clubs to have scored just one away goal in this Championship campaign. The other is bottom of the table Doncaster. • 75% of the league goals Forest have let in, have been conceded in the first half (six of eight).
Chez Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Don't be fooled but the last result, Forest played pretty well in the West Ham game and created plenty of chances. It will be a very tough game.
vince Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 It's going to be interesting to see how we respond to the first defeat of the season last time out and whether we have the determination and belief to bounce back straight away. In some ways, the manner of how we play is more important than the result. However, the way we've been playing so far, I'd expect us to win at home today.
dubai_phil Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 My physio session was booked for 4:14 UK time so would have missed the game. They phoned Thursday and changed it to 1:15 UK time. Cool so I can now listen to the game. It's a sign. I can have an OSH to relieve the pain From the exercises and then enjoy the win against Forest
Saint Garrett Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Hooiveld starts. Think it'll be, Davis Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Harding, Guly Hammond Cork Lallana, Conolly, Lambert
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Hooiveld starts. Think it'll be, Davis Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Harding, Guly Hammond Cork Lallana, Conolly, Lambert Fact or guess?
Bucks Saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Please win today boys, for my sister, a 20 year supporter / Kingsland season ticket holder who died from cancer last week. Funeral is on Tues and the wake is at St Marys, so it would be great if we can get a win today.
SaintRobbie Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 2-1 Saints win today. I am not worried. MacLaren has lost it with Forest and they are floundering. COYR!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Anyone been past the stadium and seen if the Forest coach is there yet? On way into town and behind a coach with tinted windows, number plate FOR35T. Could be fans but looks a bit Smart for that. Isn't it quite late for the team to be arriving?
THEVMAN Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Hooiveld starts. Think it'll be, Davis Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Harding, Guly Hammond Cork Lallana, Conolly, LambertThis is true Hooiveld does start today and Cork is playing at RB with Morgan in the middle with Hammond,Richardson and Butterfied injured.

Window Cleaner Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 How do you know? he always knows that's all, friend of a player perhaps, always very controlled in concern of the quantity and timing of information though, way it should be, the club don't clamp down on it that way.
Langleysaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Please win today boys, for my sister, a 20 year supporter / Kingsland season ticket holder who died from cancer last week.

trousers Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 @jordansibley: Saints Vs Notts Forest: Davis. Cork, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox. Guly, Hammond©, Schneiderlin, Lallana. Connolly, Lambert #saintsfc
trousers Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 @jordansibley: On the bench for Saints today are: Bialkowski, Martin, Chaplow, Dickson and De Ridder #saintsfc
Window Cleaner Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Harding must be injured as well then, seem to have picked up a lot of niggles in a 10 day period with no football at all and 2 weeks since the last league game.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Interesting defence. Although Jos is a bit of an unknown quantity I think it looks better than we had last time out,because to me Cork is far superior to Richardson and the midfield in no way suffers by Cork moving back a notch.
shurlock Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Harding must be injured as well then, seem to have picked up a lot of niggles in a 10 day period with no football at all and 2 weeks since the last league game. Listening to McClaren's interview on their equivalent of Saints Players, seems like they have picked up a lot injuries as a result of the international fixtures - something which we were largely spared of.
alpine_saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Interesting defence. Indeed. Changes definitely being rung-in after the first half Leicester debacle.
shurlock Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Indeed. Changes definitely being rung-in after the first half Leicester debacle. Not really. Harding had a decent half and I would be surprised if Cork was moved to RB just because of FR's performance.
jam Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Hope Morgan will be given licence to play a more attacking role.
alpine_saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Not really. Harding had a decent half and I would be surprised if Cork was moved to RB just because of FR's performance. So NA has changed the team for the fun of it, has he ?
THEVMAN Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 So NA has changed the team for the fun of it, has he ?Cork has been put to RB due to injuries to both regular right backs.
trousers Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 McClaren standing on the touchline with a cup of coffee watching the warm up. Seems more interested in the Saints players than his own. Just the brolly missing.
trousers Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Cork has been put to RB due to injuries to both regular right backs. Cheers VMAN. Anything serious or just niggles?
THEVMAN Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Cheers VMAN. Anything serious or just niggles?You`ve just made me use my last post to say i`m not sure LOL

Mrs EoA was let out of hospital y'day, can't put any weight on her leg for 3 months and I've got her some L plates for her zimmer!!! She has given me 90 mins off my good behaviour and I've got a selection of Fursty Ferret, Spitfire, Boddies and London Pride to get me thru the match. Weather in Lancs is as expected cold, bllustery and showery ... hoping for a ray of sunshine from Southampton this afternoon.
saints-cris Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Plenty of qualiy in forests line up. Should be a tough game.
ericofarabia Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 YAY ... Southampton Player has moved us up to the top of the league before we have even KO !!
