[dubai_phil]

Bloody hell

 

 

Travel all that way to watch the Reserves

Assume there will be quite a few changes at half time and in the second half?

[benjii]

Interesting to see if Jay Rod gets a crack as the front focal point or whether it's Guly with Jay Rod on the wings.

don't know, may not risk injuries to front line players from over zealous opponents.

[laughba]

Second string XI? Rodriguez?

@SouthamptonFC: The players' warm-up gets underway here in Palafrugell. #preseasonuncovered #saintsfc http://t.co/3seYlzaLI1

they all look pleased to be there then.

Guess the team we're playing Saturday are stronger, so we'll be saving our 1st team for that. We were never going to have two full strength sides out for both games, but it's a bit surprising they haven't mixed it up a bit and instead gone for such a reserve side.

[Nolan]

45 Mins each for two different Saints teams to get run outs obviously

Llagostera are a Segunda Division side.

 

Palamos are a Tercera Division side.

 

So technically Llagostera are better than Palamos.

with that line up.... its like being in the room of the X-Factor with the weak singers, knowing you're not with the ones 'about to get through'.

 

In this case its known as 'back up to the first team'

Ah there I wouldn't know, my knowledge of X-Factor is inexistant.

Ah right, f**k knows then, probably change the whole team at half time.

@SouthamptonFC: We're expecting a completely different XI for the second half here. We'll confirm that at half time. #preseasonuncovered #saintsfc

As has happened every pre season for years...

[The Saint]

Wanyama is sat behind me in the stands. With Jos and Yoshida.

 

Two teams, one in each half..

25 in theory, 3 out so the 11 that don't start are the second half team in theory, as there are 3 keepers one of the first half team must start the second half...again in theory, that would be Cork or Davis then.

Those guys might not be playing then. Yoshida & Wanyama only just started training and the OS said Jos has a knock.

[Lighthouse]

Wanyama apparently on the bench.

[trousers]

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC substitutes versus @uellagostera: Gazzaniga, Clyne, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Shaw, Stephens, Lallana, Lambert, Lovren, Isgrove.

[itchen_dan]

@SouthamptonFC: Emmanuel Mayuka and Jos Hooiveld miss out with knocks, while Maya Yoshida only began pre-season training on Monday. #saintsfc

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC substitutes versus @uellagostera: Gazzaniga, Clyne, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Shaw, Stephens, Lallana, Lambert, Lovren, Isgrove.

 

Depending on the formation we are 1 down in the attacking midfield/striker role. I'm guessing maybe Jrod or Guly will get the full 90.

No Boruc in the subs though, guess Gazza will play 2nd half

[Saint Charlie]

No Boruc then...

[trousers]

@SouthamptonFC: The teams are out and we're almost ready to go here. #SaintsFC in all red, while the home side are in green and white.

[igsey]

No Boruc then...

The more time Gazzaniga can get with the seniors, the better. Boruc is proven, would be pointless playing him.

[trousers]

@SouthamptonFC: 1: We're off! #SaintsFC's first pre-season friendly is now underway.

[Window Cleaner]

Boruc is probably playing the British Open anyway. Golfing talent like that is hard to come by :rolleyes:

[Soggy Bottom]

Jos looked like he had a gut on him on one of the pre season training vids, more fitness needed I expect

[Lighthouse]

W00T!!!

 

[The Saint]

JP looking lively, linking well with Jay Rod...

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 12: Rodriguez has the ball in the net as he bundles in Chambers' low cross, but the offside flag is up so it remains goalless. #saintsfc

 

SouthamptonFC: 13: Another chance for #SaintsFC as the ball breaks nicely for Puncheon, but his shot is well saved by Llagostera goalkeeper Moragón.

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 18: #SaintsFC hit the bar! Ward-Prowse's corner finds the head of Fonte, but his effort comes back off the woodwork. Getting closer...

[The Saint]

Jay Rod thumps the bar with a header...

[Window Cleaner]

or Fonte ?

[itchen_dan]

Keep up the noise "The Saint"!!

 

SouthamptonFC: 22: Off the pitch, there's a vocal group of #SaintsFC fans who are certainly making themselves heard. Great support.

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 23: Midway through the first period and most of #SaintsFC's substitutes are heading into the dressing room to prepare for the second half.

[trousers]

Where's Alpine when you need him?

[The Saint]

Jay Rod after a howler from the keeper

[trousers]

Where's Alpine when you need him?

 

I take it back... 0-1

@SouthamptonFC: 28: Horrible mix-up between Llagostera defender Pere Segarra and goalkeeper Morag?n allows Rodriguez to fire in from close range. #saintsfc

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 28: UE Llagostera 0-1 #SaintsFC (Jay Rodriguez 28)

 

SouthamptonFC: 28: Horrible mix-up between Llagostera defender Pere Segarra and goalkeeper Moragón allows Rodriguez to fire in from close range. #saintsfc

 

SouthamptonFC: 28: Segarra's pass back to Moragón rolled under the stopper's foot, allowing Rodriguez to outpace him and slam in for 1-0. #saintsfc

[Giordano]

Great works guys out there. Thanks for the updates.

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 31: Rodriguez goes in search of a second but his quickly-taken lob drops wide of Moragón's right-hand post. Jay is looking sharp! #saintsfc

[sad saints fan]

i cant believe radio solent havnt got live commentary

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 35: Now Rodriguez turns provider as he gets down the left and crosses for Steven Davis, but he can't force in his volley. #saintsfc

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: 39: This time it's Davis who plays in Rodriguez but, after pushing the ball past the 'keeper, he runs out of space. Goal kick. #saintsfc

 

SouthamptonFC: 43: Rodriguez and Davis combine again as the latter slips in the former, but he's denied by a good save from Moragón. #saintsfc

[sad saints fan]

half time interested to see who comes out 2nd half

[itchen_dan]

SouthamptonFC: HALF TIME: UE LLAGOSTERA 0-1 #SAINTSFC

 

SouthamptonFC: HALF TIME: Dominant 45 from #SaintsFC, with Rodriguez's 28th-minute goal the difference against hard-working @uellagostera.

 

SouthamptonFC: HALF TIME: Rodriguez the star performer so far. We'll have confirmation of #SaintsFC's second-half team very shortly.
