Saint Fan CaM Posted 25 August, 2022 Share Posted 25 August, 2022 Cannot for one minute complain about that draw! L1 oppo again at home and 7 prem team draws! Big chance to progress significantly in the competition, so hopefully strong team and no silly banana skin moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Studio Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 I think we should go full strength especially with our attackers - give them a real chance to score a goal - hopefully more than one! The new manager will probably be in the stands so a good opportunity to see whats at his disposal. Also extends something for us to have a go at outside the relegation battle we are now in so full strength please Ruben! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 Should be going alal out for it, and progress in the cup. Agree opportunity for some of ours to remind themselves where the goal is. Probably shot of confidence, and Wednesday will fancy it (expect Alvechurch would fancy playing our lot at the moment though). Anyway, who cares ? Results don't matter according to the CEO.

Good point Semmens won't want more games for him to be away from his family for... Sheffield Wednesday certainly seem up for this , they've sold nearly 2400 tickets, superb effort for a long midweek trip. They are going well in league one and will fancy their chances against us at the moment. Quite a few of our youngsters played for the B team today, would expect plenty of changes but similar to the side who won at Cambridge back in August.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 I think we’ve forgotten amongst everything else going on that there is a game on Wednesday. We’ll win 3/4-0. I’ve just got a feeling. These players hopefully will have a bit more freedom. Maybe they’ll be tweaks in formations, positioning etc. I imagine they’ll be a couple of youngsters in the squad but I think Selles will try to play a largely full strength team. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madge Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 We need a win… go strong, win well and gain confidence.

Saint Garrett Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 Get the win and get into the hat for the next round. Will be interesting to see which team Selles picks for this. Im expecting Payne to play again given we have no right backs, wouldn’t surprise me if Macca, Diallo, Aribo and Mara all play. I guess they’ll want to be fresh on Saturday despite very little chance of getting a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted 8 November, 2022 Share Posted 8 November, 2022 Full strength (although to be fair I know longer have any idea what tyat is). Selles will want to have a 100% record on his managerial cv.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 November, 2022 Share Posted 8 November, 2022 (edited) Would be incredibly stupid to play anything but a strong side. SW will be no pushover…they’re a good team driving for promotion. The club needs a lift by the team putting in a dominant performance and a convincing win. Good time to get new (or interim) manager bounce. Interestingly someone on here recently suggested Selles was the tactical man in the managerial team. If that’s the case and we see a typical tippy, tappy, backwards and sideways affair, I can see a banana skin and a nasty reaction from fans. Reckon we’ll scrape it 2-1.

Saints took the back 5 rows off sale all around the ground probably in the hope it won't look so empty if everyone sits further forward. Itchen and Kingsland will be quite full, Northam as well especially as Sheffield Wednesday are bringing 2400. Chapel end of the ground virtually empty.

macca155 Posted 8 November, 2022 Share Posted 8 November, 2022 (edited) I'd imagine it will be a reasonably strong side. A Armstrong Mara and Aribo need game time. Diallo needs to prove a point and Lyanco loves a cup game. Presumably Mccarthy in goal. Something like Mccarthy Payne Lyanco Ćaleta-Car Peraud Elyounoussi JWP Diallo Djenepo Mara Aribo/Armstrong Not a weak side considering the opposition. No idea of system .... who does! Key for me is seeing who Ballard or Dibling come on. We need to use either of those two asap. Edited 8 November, 2022 by macca155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Academy / Youth set-up is one of the best in living memory and the U18 and B teams are packed with teenagers (some have already played for their respective countries at their age group) and are champing at the bit to get some game time.

egg Posted 9 November, 2022 Share Posted 9 November, 2022 I think we'll win this comfortably. Ralph's inevitable departure will have dragged down the players, and that's now dealt with. Whoever the new man is going to be, the players will want to play for their places. I'm hoping we'll see a few kids get some minutes as well.

Yeah thanks - just like @Harry_SFC that night was fading quite nicely - I'd done a full days work over the Pennines that day and with a work oppo headed to the game - then in a grumpy mood had to drive him home to Harlow snoring his bloody head off, before carrying on to Ampshoire..............at least after the similar cobblers up at Sunderland season before (?)
