the saint in winchester Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Hmmm... isn't piquionne due to play against us for doncaster as well? Yes! There should be a stipulation that if you have faced a particular team twice already, then you can't play against them a 3rd time for a new club. Both Picquionne and Nouble have played for their owning clubs against us twice already. That should blackball them to be playing against us again.

You sure about Nouble, wasn't aware that he'd played very much at all for West Ham this season. This is Frank Nouble not Mark Noble.
Petersfield Saint Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 I'll be off to this one, the last match i saw was Bristol You think that's bad; this'll be my first game since the MK Dons game!
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Confirmed on website that Fox is in contention to play.
James Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Confirmed on website that Fox is in contention to play. Great news.
Wilf Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Guly is a decent player when on song but when he is not he is awful. He was rubbish the other night and those who think he was ok need to remove their blinkers. Just so I'm clear, is this the same Guly who had a decent game and got an ovation when he went off? Just checking.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 i'd go with the following. ------------------------ Davis ------------------------- ---- Butterfield --- Fonte ---- Hooiveld -------- Fox ---- ----- Chaplow---- Cork ------ Morgan ---- Lallana ----- ------------- Lee --------- Lambert ----------------- Bench: Richardson, Sharp, De Ridder, Hammond, Puncheon Saints 2 Barnsley 0
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 i'd go with the following. ------------------------ Davis ------------------------- ---- Butterfield --- Fonte ---- Hooiveld -------- Fox ---- ----- Chaplow---- Cork ------ Morgan ---- Lallana ----- ------------- Lee --------- Lambert ----------------- It'll be this but with the other fullbacks (Richardson and Harding) I think.
shurlock Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Hopefully we don't start Chaplow - still off the pace IMO. At home, especially, would rather have Punch, SDR and Guly ahead of him.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Just so I'm clear, is this the same Guly who had a decent game and got an ovation when he went off? Just checking. Errrrr I think crowd was applauding adkins decision to take him off.
lambtiss Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Errrrr I think crowd was applauding adkins decision to take him off. I know that I was
dronskisaint Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Errrrr I think crowd was applauding adkins decision to take him off. I was applauding Guly's contribution and De Ridder's entrance....it is the support bit in the word supporter you see.....
pressingon Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Errrrr I think crowd was applauding adkins decision to take him off. Plenty of people near me applauded. In my experience you stand and applaud to show appreciation for the player's efforts as he goes off If you want to show pleasure that someone has been subded you just cheer/jeer.
saintfully Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 I was applauding Guly's contribution and De Ridder's entrance....it is the support bit in the word supporter you see..... Quite. Amazing how many 'supporters' fail at the fundamentals.....
supersonic Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 The highly rated Luke Shaw anyone? One thing playing well against 18 year olds, another thing doing it against Championship players, many of whom are full internationals

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 ------------------------ Davis ------------------------- -- Frazer --- Fonte ------ Hooiveld ----- Fox (if fit) -- -- Steeeeve---- Cork ------ Morgan ---- Lallana ----- ------------- Lee --------- Lambert ----------------- Martin, Sharp, Chappers, Guly, Harding (Butters if Fox is unfit) For me, Punch has done nothing to warrant being near the squad since he came back. Can't recall an assist, key piece of build up, or decent effort (I'm not saying he hasn't done any of these, just none stand out). I would give SDR a start, has looked alright when playing @ home, got an assist the other day also. I would have thought he'd be up for a start and staking a claim for a place.
Avenue Saint Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 ------------------ Davis ----------- Frazer -- Fonte - Hooiveld --Fox (if fit) Steeeve---Cork --- Morgan ---Lallana - -------- ----- Lee ---- Lambert ----- Martin, Sharp, Falque, Punch, Chaplow
saints-cris Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Id give De Ridder a chance. Im sure he can give their left back a torrid time Davis Frazer, Fonte, Jos, Fox De Ridder, Morgan, Cork, Lallana Lambert, Lee
warsash saint Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 I love saints! You have come to the right place !
the saint in winchester Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 It would be interesting to see two attacking wide players rather than guly or chaplow who drift in. Puncheon or SDR on the right maybe, really go for it. I agree! Let's stretch them.
Minty Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 1 - Couldn't give a sh!t about Nouble. 2 - Fully expect Chappers back on the right, and Cork back in the middle, with Lallana and Schneiderlin. 3 - Feeling in my waters that Lee is about to start getting amongst the goals/assists. His movement, awareness and generally tactical awareness are excellent, and he's playing well already... I can see the partnership with Rickie really start to flourish and end product is due soon. Tomorrow will be the day. 4 - Be positive. Ignore Reading and West Ham. We will win and we will stay top. COYR
Jez Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 I love saints! This is also my opinion on our game vs Barnsley
RobM Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Spoke to Fox last night at about 7.00 p.m outside the main entrance, he said he is probably going to be out for about 4 weeks, soi if that is the case it will be Dan Harding for a while at left back. NA on the Saints OS say's Fox is training at the moment and is in contention for Saturday.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 The programme guide on the Canal Satellite decoder says that we're on L'Equipe TV tomorrow afty. Don't know how many of you can access that.I have to go down the South Coast tomorrow so I won't be able to watch but I'll be putting it into the memory so that I can catch up on Sunday. Might be able to tune into the match thread for a bit though. I've an hour free in the afternoon so I might just WiFi in from Montpellier 2 or failing that I'll just go and have a mega bucket at KFC Perols and wifi up from there.
Thatchamsaint Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 NA on the Saints OS say's Fox is training at the moment and is in contention for Saturday. Can only confirm again what he said to myself and at least 3 other people, that he was out for about 4 weeks, but had a scan last Wednesday to confirm this. Maybe he was told to tell us the wrong Information, or maybe Adkins is trying to confuse the opposition again. I suppose we will have to wait and see if he plays or not ?

He wouldn't be the first Saints player to give Joe Public the 'wrong' information when asked. I would imagine they are under orders to do so
VectisSaint Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 3 - Feeling in my waters that Lee is about to start getting amongst the goals/assists. His movement, awareness and generally tactical awareness are excellent, and he's playing well already... I can see the partnership with Rickie really start to flourish and end product is due soon. Tomorrow will be the day. Thought he already had, goal of the season against Burnley, assist for Lambert against Leeds.
saints_is_the_south Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Thought he already had, goal of the season against Burnley, assist for Lambert against Leeds. *Derby. Agreed though Lee should definitely start alongside Lambo. Fancy us to come out in the same style as we did on Tuesday night, but this time make it count. 4-0 Saints.
Cosmic Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 A few mentions of Falqué on here - had rather forgotten about that boy. Can't really see him getting on the pitch again unless injuries hit us quite badly. What did people make of him in his brief appearance against Leicester...?
S-Clarke Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 A few mentions of Falqué on here - had rather forgotten about that boy. Can't really see him getting on the pitch again unless injuries hit us quite badly. What did people make of him in his brief appearance against Leicester...? He looked lost out there. It just passed him by. We were all pretty **** that game though tbf.

Can't really see him getting on the pitch again unless injuries hit us quite badly. What did people make of him in his brief appearance against Leicester...? Wrong type of game to blood him and also those around him didnt help much. Give him the ball and his obvious talent will tell. Am still hopeful on this one.
VectisSaint Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 *Derby. Home games seem to blur these days, its a lot of years since I have attended so many games as this season.

Can't really see him getting on the pitch again unless injuries hit us quite badly. What did people make of him in his brief appearance against Leicester...? Looked talented, but too light weight. Got knocked off the ball very easily, but clearly is very skilful, needs to man-up a lot to make it in England, especially in the Championship. Could not really understand why we signed him, unless it was because Punch was not in our plans.
suewhistle Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 The programme guide on the Canal Satellite decoder says that we're on L'Equipe TV tomorrow afty. Très bien! It's not on Italian TV so no point me wandering round the sports bars but there should be a stream. Livefootballstreams has it noted but not sure what the site's like.
Wade Garrett Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 I don't think you should be allowed to loan players within the same league. It's so dodgy. Why should a team be able to make their rivals games more difficult? Forget us for a moment, i'm sure we'll win those 2 games anyway, but what about Man City? All their rivals have to face Spurs with Adebayor, who makes a big difference. Man City get to face a weakened Spurs. There's something really wrong there. I think UEFA are trying to alter the present loan system.
Wes Tender Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 One thing playing well against 18 year olds, another thing doing it against Championship players, many of whom are full internationals He'd be as much out of his depth as those other youngsters who we blooded at an early stage. You know the ones; Walcott, Bale and Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 An interesting game - typical banana skin for Saints given it's a mid-table opposition. Lee has to start to give us the pace up front. It's with a heavy heart that makes me think this is not going to be good day - 1-2 to Barnsley, nicked in the last 5 minutes.
paris Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 Merci bien Window according to their site L'equipe listing it's on merci encore mon vieux .......

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 If we can score within the first 20 minutes it should be a comfortable afternoon.
Nexstar Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 Doubt there will be a stream as Bright/Pompey is the featured game on FLS.

PaulGilchrist_76 Posted 10 March, 2012 Posted 10 March, 2012 I would like Sharp to start with Lee to come off the bench as an impact sub. Puncheon on the right with De Ridder to replace him should he fail to impress. I would like to see us attack from the off rather than wait until the last twenty minutes. How about giving Shaw a chance if Fox is still unfit? This lad deserves a chance to see what he can do.
