VectisSaint Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I haven't said that. Hypothetically if I was offered to win the league cup and go down or to lose to Leeds and stay up, I'd pick winning something. Who remembers you for finishing 17th in the Prem? No one. Our honours list is embarrassingly small and it's one of the only things Pompey have over us. Agreed. By the way do Pompey have anything else over us? Apart from having the best fans in the world of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Red Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 dont understand why teams and supporters dont want to win every competition they enter? Yes Premiership is where the money is and we really could do with staying there but surely winning this would be a good bonus with a spot in Europe (where you get to play some big teams these days). Unfortunatly money talks in football these days. Shame its becoming a pointless cup and might as well not really have prem teams in it. Yep, I just don't get it Teams always used to play 3 competitions and not die of over-exertion. Can't imagine Channon, Case, Moran, etc saying give me a rest, I played on Saturday (showing my age now). If you're in europe too then maybe, but there's no reason for us to do anything other than try and win every match. Fringe players already get more opportunity than they used to because you can use 3 from 7 subs instead of 1 from 1, so I don't see that as a reason to play a reserve team either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I'm sure I saw Guly tonight on the 6.35 train from Waterloo back to Southampton which suggests he aint playing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I think the back 5 that will play WBA should play against Leeds. The more game time or them, the better. Too much of a risk for injuries or cards, especially against dirty Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 As strong a team as possible for me. Would love to win a trophy. We have a week until our next game.

skintsaint Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 We should play a strong team, would be nice to get a convincing win and give the players a bit of confidence for the weekend. Can't imagine fielding a weaker team, and possibly losing would do us any good. Leeds will be Leeds and expect a hard, physical game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 In the post-match interview, Adkins said (about this game) "it's a chance to use the squad." So, those hoping for a strong side will be disappointed. More squad rotation. Fair enough. Yeah, I expect us to lose, but would like to be proven wrong.

eelpie Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I don't give a damn about this game, Prem Points are the key FFS That's silly. We now have one of the largest squads with plenty of talented up and coming footballers who will want to prove themselves. And it should be an exciting game. We have nothing to lose if they gain good experience. A win would be a bonus. But we should rest our key players for the Prem games if that is what you mean.

aussiesaint20 Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Would also like to see us with the same back four as Saturday as even the players have pointed out that they're still getting used to playing together.

JustMike Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I'd rather win the league cup and go down than not win it stay up. Bearing that in mind and the fact that we don't have a game for 6 days after, I think we should play our best available team. madness!

slickmick Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Money goes up, wages go up, fees go up. Still the same viscous circle that wont likely see club profits improve.

Severe sanctions are being considered. Could this be the last we see of Boruc at #SaintsFC? Club statement says they are taking the allegations "extremely seriously".

Dr. Kucho Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Would like to see this line up tonight: --------------- Boruc* ------------ Clyne ---- Hooiveld ---- Seaborne ---- Reeves ----------- Cork ------- JWP ------------ De Ridder ------ Guly -------- Lee -------------- Mayuka ------------- Subs: Davis, Chaplow, Yoshida, Shaw, Lallana, Rodriquez, Chambers or Moore * Boruc to play to get more match fit, however depending on the ''bottle incident'', if the club decide to take action against Boruc then have Gazzaniga play.

Mowgli Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 With Boruc 'under investigation' and Gazza allegedly off to Bristol City (tribal football is the only source I've seen reporting this) maybe its a chance for Davis to get match fit.

I had a ticket but my two petrol buddies dropped out so I didn't go as it would have cost me over a ton... looks like a sensible decision although I have now matched one of the plastic fan criteria.

MOSaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Eh, Seaborne and De Ridder being in the team doesn't inspire confidence but on the whole that side should be able to make a game of it.
