Saints Reserves v Arsenal Reserves - FA Cup Match Thread

All the feelgood factor from Wednesday evaporated within 35 minutes of todays match because of a joke line up. This could be 6 or 7 the way things are going. As soon as you see the likes of Martina, Isgrove and Gardos starting you know you are in trouble. Three days left in the transfer window and still no Fonte replacement, still no striker.

If he'd picked the same team and we'd lost he'd have been slated anyway. Very little other options left to him.

The fixtures list decongests pretty soon for us. We'll see less rotation then.

 

How can you blame anyone but the manager for this so far :lol:

 

Individually players haven't been good enough, but let's be serious, the majority belong in the championship.

No, you get a grip. Be an adult and admit what we can all see - Reed needs to hurry up with getting a quality CB and CF in. Proper Saints fans can see this and have been saying this for ages, even though we are delighted to be at Wembley in the EFL Cup.

Not seen such an obvious attempt to lose a game from Saints in a long time but not going to get too upset by it.

 

Feel sorry for those who paid money to see Saints though, the team selection is clearly cheating paying punters.

 

Exactly, if this was a boxing match there would be fekin uproar.

some of you really make me laugh.....I had no doubts that virtually the whole first team would be rested after Wednesdays brilliant result and effort by the players. We do not have the squad depth and hopefully in the next 72 hours we will see some incomings.

 

We were always going to lose today after Wednesday night and i personally dont want to risk anymore first teamers being injured when we are already going to Wembley

I still can't comprehend why other teams don't make so many changes as us. You can't change 4 of your back 5 against an Arsenal team containing Welbeck, AOC and Walcott and expect to get anything other than a hiding.

 

Don't care that we're going out but I do care that we'd just regained some confidence and are now about to get a demoralising thumping. That's not brilliant management in my book. Thrown the youngsters under the bus here.

Finally some common sense on here.

I think the commentator made a very good point. We won't finish 5th let alone above. Arsenal are going for the title and have champions league. Their weakened selection is fair enough. The fa cup isn't a priority for them. Us on the other hand have a cup final. Which is fantastic. The problem is we could lose that. Why give up on your only route into Europe beyond that? Having two chances is better than one. Very poor decision making by Puel and heeps pressure on him that was not needed.

I'm more concerned about the effect that a thumping might have on players like Stephens, McQueen and Sims. Not really fair to field such a weak team. We were not going to get anything other than a hiding with that team out.
