People trying to show horn players into the wing back positions - that formation is only possible if Clyne and Bertrand are playing.

 

---------Forster

Toby Fonte Gardos Targett

JWP Reed Morgan Tadic

-------Long Pelle

 

Davis and Wanyama played a lot of minutes recently, could do with a day off probably.

Yeah I would do that- however, id play this as a 433 formation, not 442- and maybe throw McCarthy in for Toby...

I for one hope Bart and McGoldrick do play a part and I hope they'll be given a good reception by our fans. McGoldrick was only a good when he played for us, the pressure of doing so well in the academy was forced on him and he was thrown into a terrible, terrible Saints team as a loan/main striker during our relegation season and I think he got about 10 goals didn't he? Which given his age and given the situation isn't quite that bad. I'm pleased he's gone and made a career of himself elsewhere.

 

Same goes for Bart, I quite liked him when he was here but he'll always be remembered for that home game with Blackpool where he had the worst goalkeeping performance I've ever seen at St Mary's but in general I think he did okay when called upon (apart from that game) and was always a good option to have as back up to Kelvin. So I really do hope they get clapped by our fans if they come on/start.

 

In other news, I had a dream last night that we won 4-0 today but Yoshida scored the 4th goal so since he's gone to the Asian Cup, I don't think it was a prophecy :(

 

Really looking forward to this though, glad I got my ticket when I did due to how fast they sold out. My second game of season, the first being the 4-0 win over Newcastle. I think we'll win 2-1, Long and JWP for us and McGoldrick for them (hopefully he'll have the decency not to celebrate too much if he does score).

 

COYR!!!

Just to get it in early, SportsnationHD have reported that there is no tv showing our game today and therefore they won't be able to show it.

 

Consequently there should be no streams at all, but if you do post it here.

 

Bummer :(

 

dave merrington it is then

:o

Just took the kids down to get autographs. No sign of Schneiderlin but he could have snuck in the front entrance with Pelle to avoid signing anything.

 

Everyone else you'd expect was there.

If Morgan doesn't play after missing the last game, watch the rumours fly

 

On the other hand it could be a club punishment for getting suspended twice in about 8 days. No match =no match fee and no bonus. Then again they could just fine him anyway. Expect he'll be there though, just not at lunch..don't they have the option

of lunch or not lunch ? If he has visitors perhaps it's just a case of skipping club lunch.

You'd have thought Ipswich would rest a few players? Sitting second in the championship, with a great opportunity to get promoted surely would be the main priority as opposed to getting somewhere in the cup?

Does anyone know if you can get solent online if you're not in Hampshire?

 

No, you will either:

 

1. Sign up for Saints Player, or

2. Get someone with a radio tuned to Solent to Skype you

What are you on about? I highly doubt that is the case.

So it's either...

 

Forster

JWP - Gardos - Fonte - Bertrand

Davis - Wanyama - Schneiderlin

Tadic - Pelle - Long

 

Or something completely bizarre like..

 

Forster

Gardos - Wanyama - Fonte

Davis - Schneiderlin - JWP - Bertrand

Tadic

Pelle - Long

 

Definitely the first one though, weird to see JWP at RB.

Davis or Ward-Prowse at right back?

 

Im gonna guess JWP. Interesting that we've only made 2 changes. Very strong team then.

 

2-0 Saints

I think I'd rather see Wanyama at centre back than JWP at right back.

Would be good if some of the youngsters on the bench were given a bit of game time at some point.

 

Why ? Koeman obviously knows what they can do and doesn't want to start them so he must have his reasons really.

Most of them have played a bit of late and they're not starting in a cup game. Good to see KD firmly nailed to the bench though.

I was afraid we might give him a run out.

What a deliciously strong team.

 

Looks like the "play a sh it team, so we can concentrate on the league" wet-dreamers will have to wait for our next manager because Ron ain't ever going to give you the satisfaction.

 

Come on Saints.

Why not?

Feel a bit sorry for Targett and McCarthy for not being given a chance, especially the latter. Not much faith shown in the youth if a midfielder plays out of position instead.

 

As I said Koeman obviously has his reasons, didn't think Targett was anything very great against Chelsea myself. Didn't get forward enough to suit our style.

Bit of respect to Ipswich I imagine. Maybe a couple more changes if playing a lower ranked team. Don't want another Sheff utd defeat do we!

Seriously ? First full Premiership game against the best team in the country, a side who ended up focusing on the wing he wasn't covering ? He had a great full League debut.

If you say so then, I thought he was pretty non-descript.
