The Cat Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 Any news on ticket sales ? We'll be lucky to get more than 10k I think. If at some point today we announce Lee is starting then there will be 25k there. 10k Saints, 500 Wednesday and 14500 Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 And I hope Dave Jones gets a decent reception. Problem is a lot of our younger fans won't even know much about him, he left 12 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 I think the win over Villa will put a few more on the gate, then depends what the weather does! Should be a good team, several need some game time and ought to be keen, and a proper cup tie hopefully. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWP will no doubt start Maybe lallana to start with a view to doing an hour? Boruc surely? J-rod is a must give Lambert a rest and give J-rod a bit of confidence by netting a couple of goals. No reason not start Mayuka give him 90 miniutes to show what he can do. I thought Cork was ready to come back if he is good game to help him get up to speed Guly in as well I would imagine Probably have Lallana and Lambert on the bench just in case we look like fuking it up Don't know about Boruc only been here what 48 hours? has even played much recently? don't think Nigel will rush him straight into the team.

Crazy Diamond Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 Whilst I agree that this is a game that should be used for a bit of rotation, I would like to see more people take it seriously. Are we seriously suggesting that we wouldn't welcome a trip to Wembley with the opportunity of winning a trophy? Survival is the aim this season, but I don't see why we can't have a shot at glory as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 (edited) http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/saints-vs-sheff-wed-preview-388184.aspx Team News Saints made 11 changes for the second-round win over Stevenage last month, and look likely to implement a similar amount of alterations against the Owls. With the Under-21s' game against Spurs being postponed yesterday, Development Squad players such as Corby Moore, Jake Sinclair and Sam Hoskins will hope to be involved again having been on the bench at Stevenage. Paulo Gazzaniga, fresh from his league debut in Saturday's win over Villa, will hope to start again while the likes of Danny Butterfield, Dan Seaborne and Luke Shaw will push for places in defence. Jack Cork could make a First-Team return following his recovery from the ankle injury he suffered in pre-season, and Jay Rodriguez – the top goalscorer in the 2011-12 Carling Cup – could be handed a starting berth.

cambsaint Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 I see that we have Halsey as referee; who despite having given one of the worst refereeing performances I have seen on TV recently, has seen fit to complain to Police about insulting tweets. So we'd better be careful about what we say about his performance! PS The truth or reasonable comment/opinion isn't libellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we'd better be careful about what we say about his performance! PS The truth or reasonable comment/opinion isn't libellous. I will not condone what was allegedly tweeted about Halsey, but you have to be some sort of dickhead to be a PL referee and to have a public twitter account. Re the suggestions to play Boruc tomorrow, he was signed on Saturday subject to international clearance, suspect it may not have come through yet, in which case he can't play anyway. He has had no pre-season because he has been out of contract so probably not fit, certainly not Saints fit. He looked like he was feeling the cold on Saturday wearing 2 or 3 coats, so may not be ready for an appearance on a cold Autumn evening. Think Gazza should play, after all he certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped after Saturday, and needs to build up experience. Would like to know if Chung is fit, if so he really needs to play. I would not risk any of our first choice CBs tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambsaint Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 Of course the comments about Halsey were very unpleasant. However if you are a Prem Ref then you are going to get some nasty comments. What is stupid is to pursue such comments through the courts, only a few idiots would have heard of these comments if he had just ignored them. BTW I have recovered (hopefully) from cancer and a heart attack so I know what he has suffered, but I cannot imagine consider pursuing a bad-mouthed cretin through the courts.

The Kraken Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 I don't think Halsey is going to pursue anything. He's simply referred those disgusting taunts to the police; they'll do the rest. All credit to him. The more these utter morons realise that you can't just type anything you want to on twitter with complete impunity and without recourse for your actions, the better IMO.

I agree with this completely. Some seem to think they can write anything hurtful and not bother. I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Halsey some years ago, when my grandson was a mascot for Saints (at Anfield) and he was a real gent. Made a big fuss of my grandson.

Saintandy666 Posted 24 September, 2012 Share Posted 24 September, 2012 I reckon our second XI would have a good go at Promotion from the Championship tbh, especially the attacking force and midfield. We are a bit thin on defence, but Kelvin is a solid CHampionship Goalie and we know Fox and Richardson and Hooivelt can do a job in that league. Our Second XI would get absolutely killed in the Premier League though. Just goes to show the difference between us and say Man City whose second XI would probably have a decent go at the title!
