SuperMikey Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 I think we'll line up something like this: --------------------GAZZA------------------ FRAZER----STEPHENS----SEABORNE----SHAW ----CHAPLOW-------CORK--------DAVIS----- ----PUNCH--------LAMBERT-------STEEEEVE- Although i'm probably completely wrong.

THEVMAN Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Davis is starting on the bench,i think most players are getting a half each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Nice strong side. Interesting to see that JWP is starting in the stronger XI, ahead of Davis and Cork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appy Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Nice strong side. Interesting to see that JWP is starting in the stronger XI, ahead of Davis and Cork. I'd imagine it's to do with easing Cork and Davis back in. I'd still expect one of them to start against City instead of JWP> Could be wrong though.

krissyboy31 Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 in which case surely one of the other two should start? That isn't the way the Saints coaching team do things. They ease players in, assess, calculate, work out fitness, when to rest when to push. It's all very scientific! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 So is JR the first choice left winger now? Thought he had a good first half against Ajax, but it's a bit of a square peg no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_bert Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Hope not. He's a striker not a winger. Burnley fans say he would be wasted as a winger. Playing in that system he's not a "winger" He is an interchangeable foward in the front three. Sometimes he's wide of the three, sometimes central.

david in sweden Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 I think JWP has played his way in. Mmm....maybe, but pre season friendlies are all about fitness of the regulars ...and the chance for new and fringe players (like JWP) to impress. If they don't ...they'll be on the bench for most of the early season games. Looking at the start XI for the Brizzle match, it doesn't seem like NA needs to be impressed by last seasons regulars, but the second half (sub.) performances will be most interesting to analyse.

Itchen_block4 Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Hope not. He's a striker not a winger. Burnley fans say he would be wasted as a winger. If wingers stay on the outside and run to the byline then no, he's not one of those. Think of him as more of a wide-forward. He'll get chances.

Saints foreva Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 We do seem to go behind alot after dominating....need to start converting our chances. Wakey, wakey lambo. He's been dead this pre-season! Because he's come back unfit for some reason. Against Ajax he looked much bigger than any point in his Saints career. Anyway I suspect the starting line-up tonight will be similar to the one that starts against Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Jon Stead is only 29, who'd have guessed? Thought he was about that age when he nearly sent us down in 2007-08, before Stern John's heroics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I suspect the starting line-up tonight will be similar to the one that starts against Man City. I think it was just the kit, it made a few of our lads look a little on the chubbier side...when in fact they aren't. I doubt Rickie would have been unprofessional in the summer of the biggest season of his life. But he hasn't been involved much at all in many of the games, starting to wonder if that's more to do with our new setup than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Do we have enough goal threat in the new system? Not sure we have enough in the wide positions and the central striker needs to be mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the mass hysteria you're clearly making up, but it'll be thoroughly disappointing if we can't turn this around. Especially given our pre-season last year and how that translated into a running start from the first kick off of the league season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 15mins to go lots of subs for both sides, game seems to be petering out now. We had a great pre-season last year in terms of the setup, but the results were as mixed as this years (so far) I seem to remember a 1-1 with Yeovil the week before the season started. and an early defeat to Eastleigh.

Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Weren't we drawing at Yeovil this time last year? Probably, and you can't read much into pre season games but you look at the starting team and subs tonight and there aren't too many nailed on Prem players.
