egg Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 Ralph from Part 2 of Presser. - Gunn will play vs Derby - Stephens in for Yoshida. - Targett rested and will come back. - Bertrand should start training tomorrow. - Hesketh was involved in today's session - We will decide whether he stays or goes back out on loan. - Decision still to be made on Harrison Reed. Interesting re Reed - I thought it was a season loan so no recall. If he can come back, I think he's a player who would suit the RH style. I reckon we'll see Slattery start this one with Vokins on the bench with at least one other new face, perhaps Smallbone and a guest spot on the bench for a random keeper - perhaps Lewis. Hoedt to get a game - we need CB's with Yoshida away and he needs match time. My guess for what it's worth. Gunn Ramsay Stephens Hoedt Targett Slattery Romeu Armstrong JWP Mo Obafemi (if fit) Bench: who knows but some of Lewis, Vokins, Smallbone, Johnson and Reed (if he's back). We'll win.
Badger Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 Good that hesketh is fit. Hopefully he can impress. Isn't he cup tied ?
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 They'll be 20,000 empty seats there for this game, maybe they're all fearing a shark attack from 3000 visiting pairs of flappy arms. This could be up there with the 'Lallana Wave'...............Please tell me this hasn't started happening at away games...? Sent from my SM-J600FN using Tapatalk
jamesfp1 Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Team for this should essentially be anyone who isn't going to feature against Leicester. Focus should be 100% on safety.
benjii Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Team for this should essentially be anyone who isn't going to feature against Leicester. Focus should be 100% on safety. There's a week between the two games. No need to rest everyone. My guess is that Bednarek might get a rest as he's played virtually every minute under Ralph, I think. Sounds like Targett is back, which is good, so Cedric can play RB. Probably a back 3 of Stephens, Vestergaard and Ramsey. I'm guessing JWP will continue in CM. Romeu probably rested. Slattery and Armstrong behind Long. Just a guess.
ericofarabia Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Team for this should essentially be anyone who isn't going to feature against Leicester. Focus should be 100% on safety. Players need to maintain Match Fitness ... sitting on their ar$es every other weekend isn't going to help. Derby may well view promotion as a priority and field a weak team, we could take advantage get into a commanding position and then rest some players if necessary. Winning games breeds confidence and a feel good factor. Putting youngsters into an inexperienced line up and getting beaten could be detrimental to their confidence, plus adding the need to bring on senior players from the bench to chase the game, which could lead to more chances of an injury. We don't have any midweek matches until end of the month and that is after the next round of the cup which could be a blank weekend if we don't get through, meaning a possibility of a 12 day break!! If players can't manage 1 game a week, then they shouln't be starting at all, with the obvious exclusion of anybody carrying knocks of course. Cup matches are the ONLY chance of any sort of success teams like us have .... why treat them with such distain and disrespect for the fans who have made the journey. Many of the matches in my Top Ten ever have been at away Cup games. Plus I'm free for FA Cup Final weekend this year

SO16_Saint01 Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Would also appreciate any advice about where to park. Cheers. Go to Derby quite frequently as my brother and his family live there. You could park in Pride Park itself, the velodrome is 2 mins walk away. There are lots of restaurants on the Park; Pizza Hut, beefeater, chiquito etc. You could also park in Intu- the shopping centre which is only about 10 min walk away, and there are shedloads of eating places in there too.
Cabbage_Face Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 We should play a side capable of winning this, Derby won't be no mugs.
Cabrone Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Looking forward to a decent game of football. Can't believe we have fans that would like to throw the game. Look to win, never go into any game looking to exit out. Confidence breeds success and all that, besides which I love the cup.
Behind Enemy Lines Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 That's surprising given its only £12 a ticket against an attractive big team from the Premier League, weve virtually sold out 3100 so song sheets for the game; Weve got more fans than you Angus Gunn do do do do do do Whats it like to see a crowd Angus Gunn do do do do do do You're support is f8cking shlt Angus Gunn do do do do do do Road to Wembley starts here You’ve forgotten; I’ve got a shed, that’s bigger than this..... .......Angus Gunn do do do do do do
oldsarum Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Good that hesketh is fit. Hopefully he can impress. he's cuptied as he played for Burton at S****horpe in 1st round
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 The inside track article on OS says derby have a tendency struggle when opposition press them high up and rough them up a bit. However if Mount, Wilson and Marriott have time on ball then they are match for anyone. From what I've seen of derby in carabao cup they were very impressive. Quick and fluid attacks. Should be decent game. We clearly need to press which echoes what Ralph has said and wants to beat them. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
Baird of the land Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 he's cuptied as he played for Burton at S****horpe in 1st round Shame but at least he’s able to show Ralph what he offers in training. No doubt we’ll freshen things up but given we’ve got a week till next game I hope we’ll play a reasonably strong team It’ll be interesting to see which striker plays. Are gallagher or obafemi fit enough yet. I’d prefer it wasn’t toothless long but equally not sure I want us starting away with immobile Austin. Assume ings will be rested if he’s not 100%.
suewhistle Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Tyreke Johnson featured in the training pics so I suspect he'll feature at some stage.
trousers Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Saints U23s play this evening (vs Stoke at Staplewood) so that'll give us a pretty clear indication of which youngsters will be included in tomorrow's senior squad
VectisSaint Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 he's cuptied as he played for Burton at S****horpe in 1st round Problem for Hesketh is that not only is he cup tied but he would also need a PL squad place I think (he's 22). That relies on removing someone else and guess that Barnes is ahead of him in that queue.
SuperSAINT Posted 4 January, 2019 Author Posted 4 January, 2019 Saints U23s play this evening (vs Stoke at Staplewood) so that'll give us a pretty clear indication of which youngsters will be included in tomorrow's senior squad Slattery / Afolabi / Barnes were all training with the first team so will be interesting to see if they feature. Tyreke Johnson is def on the coach to Derby.

Charlie Wayman Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Derby will not want to jeopardise their play-off chances so will likely field a weakened (sic: rotation) side. Their reserves v our reserves. As Ralph said, respecting the FA Cup and its traditions... Who wants to lose most?

Plastic Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Guessing there will be no streams for this one?
nta786 Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Guessing there will be no streams for this one? https://liveonsat.com/uk-england-all-football.php according to this there are a lot of channels showing this one, so fingers crossed a decent stream is available. safe journey to all those going!
Fatboy40 Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Guessing there will be no streams for this one? Smooth Streams have it listed as being shown in both Canada and the USA.
Pamplemousse Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 As part of the new overseas FA Cup TV deal, every game from the 3rd Round onwards is broadcast, so there will be a stream. That's why there are only 10 games at 3pm.
johnnyboy Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 For those of us that have an IPTV provider espn 9 is listing our match !
Shroppie Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Pubs for today anyone????I've just started a mini solo crawl. Currently in the Old Bell, then the Tap, then Exeter Arms, maybe Smithfield. All old-school real ale and recommended. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Maggie May Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 16 years ago we thrashed Spurs 4-0 in the FA Cup 3rd round in one of my favourite ever Saints performances. We then went on to the final. Some great nostalgia on this link:
saintwbu Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Really excited to see what level of involvement the youngster's have today. Could anyone have imagined having Tyreke Johnson, Kayne Ramsay, Callum Slattery, Matt Targett, Marcus Barnes all potentially starting for us in any game this season if asked a few months ago? Today would've just been full of all the underperforming first teamers normally.
saintalan Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 ESPN+ are showing every game. Am using a paid sub (free trial) quality varies, started watching ManU which is SD at best but switched to Bompey and have an HD quality stream. Hoping Saints is decent.

Batman Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 stronger team than I ever expected looks like a 4231/4222 set up
Wimborne_saint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Gunn, Cedric, Vestegaard, Stephens, Targett, JWP, Slattery, Elyounoussi, Redmond, Long, Austin Happy with that, although a very lightweight midfield!
SuperSAINT Posted 5 January, 2019 Author Posted 5 January, 2019 Good to see Slattery start & Barnes make the bench.
Sheaf Saint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Can't quite work out what formation that is. 4-2-3-1 perhaps?
davefizzy14 Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Great opportunity for Slattery. Good to see Barnes on the bench alongside Johnson, Ramsay and Valery. Prowsey captain too. COYR
Matthew Le God Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Can't quite work out what formation that is. 4-2-3-1 perhaps? Or it might be Hasenhuttl's preferred formation... 4-2-2-2
