DT Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Hoedt needs to be left out. Let V and Yoshi start forming a partnership in the middle. Ings should come on for the old club principle. Lemina and Romeu in middle for me. Gabbi up front with Long, not Austin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARCELONASAINT Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Hope the boys can hit the floor running this afternoon and we get the perfect start to the season. TBH i am not at all confident for the coming season. I think our defence is made of glass and our midfield offer little protection. I don't think confidence is running particularly high at all but i'm hoping that a win in our first match of the season will change that. C'mon Saints!!

Wimborne_saint Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 "Team walk"... What's that all about? Doing what a lot of other teams do - Players stay together at a hotel the night before home games now and arrive at St Mary's on the team coach. Bet a few fans were disappointed this morning after turning up the usual 4 hours before kick off to get autographs, only for the team to turn up 2 hours later than usual!

James Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Not really sure what Redmond has gone to deserve a start over Moi or Gabbi to be honest. Disappointed with Stephens starting as well, don’t rate the guy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to score 2 as there will be at least one clanger from these two. You’d have thought, given their respective performances in pre season, that Hughes would have seen enough.

washsaint Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Wonderful.....the totally immobile Austin and 3 CBs against a team that will sit back the whole game. A total c**t in Lemina in midfield. Hughes as uninspiring as I thought he would be. So we'll probably win 3-0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Oh dear god Hoedt and Stephens.... I think Redmond got 2 goals and assist in pre-season, before picking up a knock, playing as a second striker so strangely I'm not that surprised by that one. I think Mo is going to be eased into it.

Dr. Kucho Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 My guess the line up it looks something like: ———————— McCarthy ——————- —— Stephens ——Vestergaard—— Hoedt —— Cedric ——————————————————— Bertrand —————- Lemina ——————- Romeu ————- ——————————- Armstrong —————————- ——- Redmond ——————————- Austin ————— Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 (edited) As long as we have little pace or direct running in the side, we are under pressure to play Redmond. That’s as clear today as it was in 2016. Hopefully Ings changes that dynamic but it’s not ideal. Edited 12 August, 2018 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 At least Stephens and Hoedt are playing against limited pace and skill if we played liverpool with that lineup we could be conceding double figures... Which suggests three at the back isn't really necessary for this game. Most likely we will have 3 CBs trying mark one isolated front man out of the game.
