Saints foreva Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Lol, Steven Davis scores so you can tell this team are ****e.
SuperMikey Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Ooh Grazi, what a goal! Very nice of the defenders to not bother challenging him for a ball inside the 6 yard box...3 times! Hah
stevegrant Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 This should be double figures, really. Just depends how much we take our foot off the pedal later in the game.
farawaysaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 "looking for the run of Warde Prowse" Ah memories No worries Prowsey, I believe in you.
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Indeed. I'm just mildly surprised he isn't being given maximum opportunity to forge as much 'match-play' rapport with the defence as possible. Just an observation. When the defence he'd be playing behind isn't the defence he'll be playing behind, there's not much point to that, is there?
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Saints media team on commentary say its Ward-Prowse, S.Davis, Rodriguez as the three behind Pelle in a 4-2-3-1. They've said numerous times Reed and Clasie are sitting. I'm surprised you haven't started telling everyone it's a 4-3-3 to be honest.
farawaysaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Jrod has been red hot this preseason, where's the anticipated issues?
SuperMikey Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Now it's 5...it's got to be double figures! Jim & Jordan saying we'll be making 5 or 6 changes at HT so there'll be fresh legs out there in 20 minutes or so..
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 When the defence he'd be playing behind isn't the defence he'll be playing behind, there's not much point to that, is there? ...especially when they've got nothing to do. I am amused by the "Post Quick Reply" button now, given the opposition.
Colinjb Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Loving the attacking play. But aside from a fitness tick-over is there any point in playing Quick 20? Surely a more taxing (but not too tough) opponent would be better.
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Cedric looks absolutely brilliant I think I'd fancy my chances with the opposition defence. He's been great since the first second he stepped onto a pitch for us. Great signing already, will be interesting to see how he copes in competitive matches and with the Prem.

Surely a more taxing (but not too tough) opponent would be better. We ARE playing Feyenoord in 2 days, you know. Mix and match opposition standard pre-season to get fitness up.
MikeSFC Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Cedric looks absolutely brilliant So far he looks a massive upgrade on clyne attacking wise (I thought clyne was fairly poor at crossing and passing), but he hasn't been tested defensively so he could be utter crap compare to clyne in that side of it.
farawaysaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Wow, great ball from Clasie to pick up Targett on the volley I was sure it was a mis-hit.
Colinjb Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 We ARE playing Feyenoord in 2 days, you know. Mix and match opposition standard pre-season to get fitness up. Well, yes. . But still feel that it would be better to have a more taxing warm up, avoid any false confidence.
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 So far he looks a massive upgrade on clyne attacking wise (I thought clyne was fairly poor at crossing and passing), but he hasn't been tested defensively so he could be utter crap compare to clyne in that side of it. He looked sound defensively against Red Bull Salzburg when the rest of the back 4 weren't impressive. If you thought Clyne's crossing and passing was poor, I'm not sure why you think Cedric's is good, they're about the same - which is fine.
Lighthouse Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Well, yes. . But still feel that it would be better to have a more taxing warm up, avoid any false confidence. Don't think of it as an easy game. More of a tough training session ahead of the Feyenoord game.
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Well, yes. . But still feel that it would be better to have a more taxing warm up, avoid any false confidence. Again, Feyenoord on Thursday. Not to mention already having done 45 against Valencia and RB Salzburg and 90 against Groningen. The only thing I'll be complaining about is us putting anything other than a reserve team out against Espanyol!
trousers Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 When the defence he'd be playing behind isn't the defence he'll be playing behind, there's not much point to that, is there? That's a fair point sir. I still reserve the right to be slightly surprised that our first choice keeper does get a single minute of play in two consecutive preseason friendlies. Different opinions are available
Lighthouse Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Can someone send a video of this to the England cricket team please.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 They're (Quick) too bad to waste time watching actually. Still, setting off for Rotterdam early tomorrow.
bpsaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 i won't get too over excited as its a pub team level of opposition, but I can't wait to see Pelle and Jay Rod line up side by side next season if this games anything to go by.
farawaysaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Is there a stream for this!? Official youtube channel
ericofarabia Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Although the scoreline would indicate it's a stroll in the park, the players are all working very hard, lots of good closing down and running into space off the ball. This after a full training session this morning as well.

Having those two, Mané and a fully fit Tadic all in the same team would be quite something. I'm quite excited to see Clasie, Soares and Juanmi next Thursday too.
farawaysaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 8-0 Turnbull is like 7 foot tall O.o *Edit* He's only 6'1 meaning the opposition and half our team are tiny instead.
Hamilton Saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Turnbull heads in the 8th goal from a corner.
MikeSFC Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 He looked sound defensively against Red Bull Salzburg when the rest of the back 4 weren't impressive. If you thought Clyne's crossing and passing was poor, I'm not sure why you think Cedric's is good, they're about the same - which is fine. Your the guy with the stats at the moment so correct me if I'm wrong but, from what I've seen of clyne (as a ST holder) his crossing is pretty poor with most of them drilled in low. Can't remember seeing many head height whipped in crosses in my opinion Cedric looks a lot better at crossing than clyne did.
Hamilton Saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Good free-kick shot from W-P from 25 yards. Saved by their keeper.
SuperMikey Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Your the guy with the stats at the moment so correct me if I'm wrong but, from what I've seen of clyne (as a ST holder) his crossing is pretty poor with most of them drilled in low. Can't remember seeing many head height whipped in crosses in my opinion Cedric looks a lot better at crossing than clyne did. They have a different style of attacking play - Cedric seems to get forward on the overlap a lot more whereas Clyne preferred to cross from a deeper position. A cross whipped in at speed from the byline often looks a lot more dangerous than it actually is, equally crosses lumped in from deeper areas can look quite tame when they're actually pretty dangerous so it can be deceptive! Overall i've been impressed with what i've seen from Cedric so far though, if he replaces Clyney as seamlessly as he appears to be doing at this very early stage then full credit has to go to the scouting staff! Commentators on the stream earlier were saying how long we've been watching him for and how we knew he'd fit into the team so all that talk about getting the right characters in seems to have some credence to it..
Hamilton Saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Juanmi scores #9, made by a good move from Rodriguez.
