Looks like we are taking this seriously

[Saint_Abroad]

Hmm yeah could be......

 

Yea, dumb question.

[The9]

How sad is it to go to football on your own? Really tempted to just pitch up (assuming tickets are still available). It's relatively easy for me to get there.

 

Much less hassle doing everything on your own!

[Dalek2003]

It never gets old.

 

My number 1 fan !

[The9]

Isn't Turnbull at Swindon?

 

Yep, he certainly is, I meant McCarthy.

 

Pretty solid team we've put out there, anyone would think we were punishing them for being pants on Saturday.

[ART]

Morgan, Tadic and Bertrand won't feature so debate largely irrelevant.

 

Well Tadic and Ramirez are featuring tonight.

[SuperSAINT]

Crikey, very strong team.

[NewYorkSaint]

0-4. Isgrove, Long, & Pelle x 2. Interesting that Morgan not there. Hope to see Taider play for 20 mins.

[Bewildered]

Millwall have made nine changes.

Tell me Schneiderlin isn't "ill" ?

[SuperSAINT]

Tell me Schneiderlin isn't "ill" ?

 

Damn, I didn't notice that - surprised Cork or Taider didn't start.

[Saint Garrett]

Won't be the only one at least.

 

Are walk ups available? I might just do it.

 

Yup. That's my plan.

Disappointed Cork isn't in the starting xi. Good to see Targett and Isgrove getting chances.

[Saint_Abroad]

Ronnie would have to keep him on a leash that close to London, for fear he wonders off. He's under lock and key at St Mary's.

[simo]

Damn, I didn't notice that - surprised Cork or Taider didn't start.

Maybe they didn't want him getting lost in London and accidentally ending up at a different club ?

[Bobbyboy]

Definitely concerned about Morgan's absence here.

Beat me to it haha

[rickylambert]

Disappointed not to see Taider. Where's Morgan? Worrying...

[The9]

Definitely concerned about Morgan's absence here.

 

Funny, I'm not remotely concerned about it, we have a pile of midfielders much of a muchness and should be giving the others a shot in a game like this. More interested to see that we're sticking with Fonte and Yoshida, which makes me wonder if Gardos is being saved for the weekend or if he's got Forren Syndrome.

 

Bertrand isn't involved either btw, is he off?

[Window Cleaner]

Disappointed not to see Taider. Where's Morgan? Worrying...

 

Must be one of the players who aren't 100% just as RK said. Good game last Saturday for someone who isn't 100% really.Maybe he's got a new agreement that he doesn't have to participate in sh*t games this season. West Ham and then 2 internationals next week will be enough.

[DG]

Disappointed not to see Taider.

 

Or Cork but I guess we are still trying to get the majority of the first eleven to gel, so no wholesale changes.

[Saint_Tony]

Good to see RoKo taking it seriously, a refreshing change to MP changing the entire 11. That team should be more than good enough to win.

[Toon Saint]

Disappointed not to see Taider. Where's Morgan? Worrying...

 

Chill mate, he uploaded a video of him doing the ice bucket challenge at the training ground today - didn't appear to be sulking either. Probably just recovering from a knock, or Koeman didn't want to over-exert him given lack of pre-season.

This could be the test whether Davis and JWP can provide the high tempo, quick ball and forward runs that were absent on Saturday. If it's still slow at half time I wouldn't be surprised to see Taider and Ramirez on.

[Dan Johnson]

Disappointed not to see Taider. Where's Morgan? Worrying...

 

I'd say after the World Cup & lack of pre-season 2 games in 3 days is probably too much.

[washsaint]

Disappointed to not see Reed in any of the squads so far.

[ScratchySaint]

Need a resounding win to boost confidence. Pelle and Long to score would be nice...

[Saints Warrior]

Should be an easy win tonight, plenty of goals. Saints 5-1. I cant see Millwall putting out a strong team as not been too bad in league so far compared to last season. Saints should have enough to win banana skin tie or not.

[ART]

[SNSUN]

Blimey o Riley that's a strong line up. Fingers crossed it'll do the biz. I forgot what predo I went for in the prediction league and I can't be arsed to check but I'm going for a simple 2-0 Saints win.

[simo]

This , he's a few weeks behind everyone else ! He looked fairly happy in his Ice bucket challenge earlier Jay did one too so I'm guessing they are doing some rehab together?

[DuncanRG]

Easy PR win for them to name a strong side and makes sense for the team to gel. Not sure I'd play a team that strong against lower-league opposition later on in the season but this more or less rules out another Sunderland situation.

[SuperSAINT]

Need a resounding win to boost confidence. Pelle and Long to score would be nice...

 

All of this.

[St Chalet]

Saints to win 2-0 and nobody to be happy on the forum afterwards

[Ken Tone]

So how late would Millwall have had to have been before the ref awarded us the game as a walkover?

[Saint Billy]

Saints to win 2-0 and nobody to be happy on the forum afterwards

Yeh probably!

Best stream I'd say quality wise, COYR.

[DT]

Schneiderlin obviously not wanting to be cup-tied...

[Greenridge]

Saints to win 2-0 and nobody to be happy on the forum afterwards

 

Including the mods?

[Olallana]

Got to play the through ball on Long there Steven!!

It´s wide open, THAT´s Longs strength....

[SB]

Schneiderlin obviously not wanting to be cup-tied...

Although a possible theory, I doubt he's worried to much about being cup tied for the league cup.. More a case of resting for Saturday *wishfulthinking

[davefoggy]

are there any fans there?

[Mr X]

millwall don't look like a struggling team so far!

[Saintandy666]

are there any fans there?

 

Seems there might be a few thousand on the side which the camera's are on.

[DuncanRG]

Our fans sounding good, though I suppose it helps about 5 Millwall fans showed up

[Mr X]

are there any fans there?

course its hot as hell

[washsaint]

Dear oh dear, we look terrible. Midfield appears to be non existent and only ball from the back seems a hoof

[VectisSaint]

Who said they were struggling? 7 points from 4 games so far, one defeat, hardly struggling.

[Mr X]

agreed so far
