Papa Shango Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 12 posters have selected Wotton with one picking him right wing??????????????? Wotton is a terrible footballer and one of the worst i've seen in a Saints shirt. He is league 2 standard at best. Gillett might not be great but at least he can run and make the occasional pass. I agree, Wotton is garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintrich Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Molyneux + BWP both not included in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Without Molyneux or Mills it looks like Surman and Skacel will be our left side. Hopefully we don't stick Lallana on the right again, Euell or McLaggon would be best imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaford Saint Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Life is all about opinions, if you do not like my line up fair enough, but don't preach to me and others when you have Surman playing on the right side of midfield. Size looks as if he is comfortable on the ball. I agree the centre half is an unknown quantity, Skacel has played left back plenty of times, and if Surman wont play to the plan take the **** off.BWP was not a bad striker when he scored against Reading away was he.

Seaford Saint Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 I know, i know, you can't take the Weston Park out of me LM. I am due to have a meal with John Stockley (taught numpties - his words) and Pam Read (French teacher) soon. I'll be sure to mention you to them both. Pam did say that Alec Perkins thought your were too nice to be a professional footballer. My son wants to go to a party tomorrow. I offered to take him to Bristol City ( I lived there for a few years) but he doesn't want to see Saints lose yet again. Matthew (my son) has not seen Saints win this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy, I wasn't sure you'd remember John Stockley or Pam Read, and John never taught me either....says me with a degree in Philospophy and Ancient Greek now working in IT and doing alright Are you really sure Alec said that? OK I am sure he did. You had a very pretty girlfriend I do recall maybe Alec was confused. I shall log onto this website at kick off time tomorrow as per normal and hope and pray we can pick up a point or 3. They did a job on us at St Mary's and were worth their win but all that is urine under the bridge now that we have Wotte in charge!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Andy i understand what you are saying, but Drew's first instinct is to pull the ball onto his left foot which naturally means he cuts inside.At least on the left he can gamble to get by the full back knowing he has a half decent chance of getting the ball in the box.I agree our right side wide options are limited, which to me is bizarre, considering what you say we have many options on the left, Normally it's the other way around. Anyway nice talking tactics with you mate:cool: I see you are utilising the experienced players. Surman has to be on the left, BWP is a natural option on the right, they both have to be told to get to the byeline. I bet you scratched your head a bit over the back four. Schneiderlin needs the wide players absolutely wide to get the best out of his passing. I'm not sure about Euell with Saganowski, still what have we got to lose, I did think of him playing right back. The trouble is, there are still problems, would Skacel be better wide left with Surman Left back. I'm not sure how good Liptak is, he'd be a real gamble, it would be easier if I had seen him play. Apart from Saganowski, Saijs and Perry none of the outfield players has a bolted down position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Saganowski, Saijs and Perry none of the outfield players has a bolted down position. Got to be worth trying Drew at left back with Skacel on the wing, Surman will be cutting inside and trying to get involved with the play if he's on the left where as Skacel should get some chalk on his boots and get up the byline. Surman does quite well getting forward from left back and with Skacel helping him out he should be fine defensively. Put Euell or BWP on the right with Morgan and Wotton in the middle and you're looking at a decent experienced midfield. Then play Saga alongside Euell, BWP or even McGoldrick.

del boy Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 I agree, Wotton is garbage. I think Wotte appreciates some of Wotton's fighting qualities - prepared to put his foot in, keeping going when it gets tough, shouting encouragement to the others. He might not be the most elegant of footballers but Wotte seems to see a role for him - or it might be that our coach thinks that Wotton is the English form of the name Wotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjinksie Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Enough of the ridiculously lightweight midfield please. Surman is an appalling central midfielder, at least he has been every time I've seen him there. I've seen him look far, far better at left midfield, left back and right midfield. Davis James Size Perry Molyneux Surman Wotton Scheiderlin Skacel Euell Saga subs - bart, lancashire, bwp, gillett, lallana Surman right mid? he has the worst right foot i have ever seen. chocolate leg...

derry Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 (edited) Yes had a few good seasons there Dave.Sam Stevens was manager. I knew Sam well. He is a golf partner of Ian White's at Stoneham. I haven't seen either of them for a while. It was John Harris who reminded me that you played for Swaythling. My son is mates with Barry Joslin's son. John is friendly with Ray Sheehan. I knew Roger Sherwood well, he was an big awkward bugger to play against. Kevin Kelly taught my sons. Edited 13 February, 2009 by derry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotleySaint Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Unfortunately I don't think it matters what team we play. This result could be our Hull City type result from last season. Of course, I hope its a Wolverhampton Wanderers result like a few years ago when we went up there with an under strength team and thrashed them 6-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeleye Saint Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 ---------------Davis James-------Size----------Perry-------Skacel Gillett------Euell----------Wotton------Surman -----------Saganowski----McGoldrick Subs: Paterson, Liptak, Schneiderlin, Bart, lallana That looks like the strongest team we can put out at the moment. Good mix of experience and youth - one reservation is Paterson - not sure he's ready yet - would put BWP in his place. James has improved his game at right back so in the absence of anyone else he has to play - needs to improve his crossing though. I like what Wotte is saying about how he approaches the game - reminds me of NP a bit dare I say! He is a stronger character than JP and is going to play more experience allied to to the best of the young players. I am hopeful he can turn things around - just hopeful not confident!
