Nice interview with Erwin on saints youtube as well

Says at first that the players struggled with the training methods they brought as they were different to what MoPo was doing.

I think they were all surprised but happy to have the balls out on day 1 based on some of the earlier video's

 

I remember we did that the summer before the Championship campaign and we came flying out the blocks with fantastic pass and move football that took everyone by surprise.

#SaintsFC team vs @EHC_Hoensbroek: K. Davis, Chambers, Fonte, Turnbull, Clyne, Cork, Reed, Ward-Prowse, Sinclair, McQueen, Mayuka.

 

subs: Gazzaniga, McCarthy, Stephens, Hooiveld, Targett, Flanningan, S. Davis, Tadić, Isgrove, Sharp, Gallagher.

 

Maya Yoshida, @DejanLovren05 and @ArturBoruc not yet ready for matches, while @GPelle9 only joined up with the squad last night.

 

 

(I have been looking for dutch link as there is a lot of holland media there for Koeman and Pelle but its very unlikely to have a stream anywhere)

I doubt it, more likely to be just using him there until we sign a new left back to compete with Targett. Koeman said in an interview he wants two players fighting for each position.

 

Sounds like he's leaving the door open for Osvaldo then...

Pheww....!!!!

 

Plus Ramirez, Wanyama, Morgan to still come back, Jay Rod from injury and 2 or 3 more signings, I don't actually think our squad looks too horrendous. Especially if 1 or 2 of the youth have a break through season, i.e. Reed or A.N. Other.

 

Where's Omar Rowe?

The under 21's (which includes a lot of 1st and 2nd year under 18's) are staying up north until the weekend. They've played Carlisle and Newcastle already and play Sunderland on Saturday 19th July.

 

Hi MLG. Do you know the squad list for the under 21's northern expedition?

33: Sweet strike by Reed parried away well by Grootaers, with Olaf Rompelberg preventing Sinclair from following up. #saintsfc [0-1]
