surely going to be quite uncertain...

 

 

Davis, Skacel, Surman, Lallana rumoured to be off..

 

Lallana and Surman also 'injured'

 

Have lost Cork and Pearce

 

Schneiderlin 'could' come back, will he be risked if not 100%?

 

Saga needs international clearance

 

Gobern, Paterson and Mcglaggon (Sp?) featured last time around, but will their inexperience be risked against Man Utd? with players like Euell, BWP brought back?

Posted

Would like to see:

 

Davis

 

James Perry Skacel Molyneux

 

Holmes Schneiderlin Lallana Mclaggon

 

BWP Saga

 

Perry seems to be our only fit CB!

Posted

I reckon the team might look something like this, but it is dependant on a number of things . . .

 

 

----------------------- Davis ------------------------

 

James ----- Lancashire ----- Perry ----- Skacel/Molyneux

 

------ Schneiderlin/Gobern --- Gillett/Surman ---------

 

Smith ---------------- McGoldrick ----------------- Holmes

 

---------------- Paterson/Saganowski ------------------

 

Saints may not want Skacel being cup-tied as it could put off potential suitors.

 

Schneiderlin may not be fit in time, same with Surman.

 

Also, Smith and Saganowski might not get clearance in time.

----------Davis

James Perry Lancashire Skacel

BWP Gillett Schneiderlin Holmes

--------McGoldrick

----------Saga

 

If Schneiderlin isn't 100% then Gobern in for him.

If Saga can't play bring in Paterson

If Skacel can't play bring in Molyneux

If Surman can play he replaces BWP

If Lallana can play he replaces McGoldrick

 

As for United I'd guess something like:

 

-----------Kzusack

Rafael -- Vidic Evans -- O'Shea

Nani Fletcher Anderson Ronaldo

----------Giggs

----------Tevez

I seriously doubt that either Surman or Lallana will play. The best we can hope for is something like:

 

--------------Davis

James Lancashire Perry Molyneux

------Euell---Schneiderlin

---------Skacel

Smith-------------Holmes

------McGoldrick

 

Subs: Forecast, Gobern, McLaggon, Saga, BWP

 

Who knows how the deckchairs on this doomed ship will be arranged, though. It could be that someone wants to buy Euell or Skacel, so they won't play. I can't see Saga starting when he's been away for so long, but you never know with JP. I guess the players picked will be wanting to do their best, but I fear an attack of stagefright once again combined with vastly inferior playing ability, which will not serve us well.

He is resting in Argentina so will not play, might well be Rooney instead !

I would prefer Dyer any day to Smith, since Dyer's loan has ended. Dyer should at least be on the bench, if Lowe/JP have any sense remaining, and he might even put on a display that attracts an offer.

 

(Edit:

Just heard Dyer has been loaned to Swansea. Oh dear....)

Given that the club will not want some players to be cup tied because of impending transfers, I reckon it could look like this : 4-2-3-1

Forecast.

James, Hatch, Lancashire, Mills.

Gillet, Gasmi.

Dyer, Pulis, Smith.

McGoldrick.

 

Fergie will no doubt be sh1tting himself at the prospect !

I think i'd leave before a ball is kicked if we start with Pulis, Hatch, Mills, Forecast and Gasmi.

It'd surely be Perry and Lancashire at the back, would seem harsh to throw Kyle Davies in against them!!!

 

On the subject of Kyle Davies, does anyone know if he's any good? I saw him vs Farnborough in the pre-season friendly, but couldn't really judge him from that. Been playing regularly for the ressies though hasn't he?

 

Isn't Ryan Tafazolli quite highly regarded in the youth team? He's even younger but he's 6'5", so could be useful.

Davis

James, Perry, Schneiderlin, Gillett, Gobern, Molyneuex, Mills, Surman, Skacel, Holmes,

McGoldrick

 

1-9-1 damage limitation.

 

 

Could be ok as long as McG does a lot of tracking back !

according the the bbc the new left winger they've signed is "straight into the squad" so could see him.

I don't think he'll feature, judging from these comments from Fergie:

 

"We'll give him time. He's not played since December 10 so he'll need time to adjust and get used to the tempo of our game and also the training."

 

And the club have also said the following: "A press conference will be held next week, once the necessary paperwork has been filed with the relevant football authorities."

I heard Dyer is going straight back on loan to Swansea.

Really struggling with putting a saints side together for this one or any other game for that matter, we are lacking in every department except perhaps in goal, and that even depends on whether Davis is on the way out or not.

 

Lets face it, this going to be purely damage limitation as other posters have pointed out above.

Source?

 

No mention of it on the United injury round up on the os.

 

Why do you keep reading the s***** they put out

 

there was no mention of Cork going either:mad:

But my information doesnt rely on such a lying broadsheet like that.

Fair point, our only chance of getting anything out the game would be a massive Davis performance.

Yep, just heard. I give up hope. Poortvliet must be tearing his hair out in despair at his master's stupidity. Sometimes I feel sorry for the guy.

Ronaldo-----------Scholes-----------Carrick-------------------Giggs

 

-----------------Rooney-----------Tevez--------------------------

 

Subs: Kuszczak, Evans, Park, Berbatov, Anderson, Nani, Welbeck

 

is what I would like to see even though we would get trounced but probably more like this and we will still get trounced:

 

-------------------------Kuszczak----------------------------------

 

Rafael-------------Evans----------Vidic-----------------------O'Shea

 

Anderson-----------Nani----------Giggs------------------------Park

 

-------------------Welbeck-------Tevez----------------------------

 

Subs: Foster, Ferdinand, Scholes, Carrick, Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov,

Despite several comments on forums claiming Drew's absence was just an excuse before selling him I can confirm he did have a nasty gash on his ankle and unfortunately the Reading game came just too soon after Plymouth. He is training and will be absolutely gutted if he's not playing on Sunday.

 

Of course he might have been sold by then but although there is some interest from a few clubs no offers have yet been made.

 

As I said earlier, I am told Adam is at least 2 games away from a return.

Who the hell cares what team we put out. It is a very unimportant game as far as the future of SFC is concerned. (And no I won't be going thank god!)

 

1 Wrong

2 Wrong

3 Thank God

I really don't envy Jan trying to pick a team for this one. Personally I wouldn't risk anyone with any injury niggle (a list I'd include Davis on). The best way to play against Manure this season has been all out attack so...

 

---------------Forecast

James-----Perry-----Lancashire---Skacel

------------Gillet

---BWP---------Euell------Smith

-------McGoldrick---Paterson

 

Saga in for Paterson if cleared.

 

with James and Rudi under orers to get forwards as much as possible.

Saints to play out of their skins for a deserved 2-1 victory with the crowd stunning Manchester United's reserves into failure, crumbling as they go behind.

Hopefully: Davis; James, Perry, Lancashire, Molyneux; Smith, Schniederlin, Surman, Holmes; Skacel; McGoldrick (4-4-1-1)

 

it will be nothing like that though. i definitely think we should play Skacel more forward, if he could regain his Hearts form he'd be the best player in the Championship. Even if we have to sacrifice Holmes, PLAY SKACEL FORWARD!!!

I agree, if we get him firing in that position it would be a huge asset. He can certainly strike a ball and the team might start getting some goals from midfield (tbh goals from anywhere we badly need!)

Additionally, I hear that he's a very friendly guy. He also seems to appreiciate the Saints fans support and has played out of position at left-back to an admirable and near-faultless level for god knows how long. Massive respect to Skacel for all of that. (And someone mentioned he had an attractive girlfriend...)

 

If we can try and give Perry and Lancashire some protection then that would be great as I see that as our weakest point, so having Gillett (who I thought had a storming game against Reading) covering them and tracking back to the full-back positions would be really useful.

 

So we have a keeper, a defence, a midfield (McKlaggon on the wing?) and McGoldrick in goalscoring form averaging a goal a game for his last game...

 

The young players will put all their effort into the most challenging game they will have ever played in.

 

We are totally written off for this game and so I'm really looking forward to it. Let's get some pride and unity back :]

Posted

Schneiderlin and Paterson. Would have thought the latter was obvious.

 

Anyway, this is the one game when I wouldn't want Skacel in an attacking possition, simply because we need him in defence. I am already dreading what Giggs, Ronaldo et al will make of Perry and Lancashire, we sure as heck don't need a couple of dodgy inexperienced fullbacks either side of them.

We're gonna get mullered.... Can you imagine Berbatov and Rooney up front against Lancashire....

 

None of Davis (injured), Schneiderlin (injured), Surman (sold), Lallana (sold), Skacel (sold), Euell (appearance money) will play
