Mr X Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 we desperately need a win!!! surely we can beat derby? Come on you saints!!!
Runaway Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Yes, it's nervous not seeing any points on the board... I wonder how long Jan will keep his job under Lowe unless there's a win soon? Past history shows us our managers don't get much of a chance to settle...
rick1976.4.38 Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 derby is always a hard place for us to get a win,still today is the day. just leaving now for pp,coyr
Saint Garrett Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Will be extremely happy with a draw, we could do with some kind of result though! Gutted i couldn't afford to go up to Derby today!
stevegrant Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Considering we've drawn 2-2 there on 3 separate occasions, I'd probably put money on that scoreline again. I'd certainly take a draw, just so that we're not the team who are the first to lose to Derby in the league for nearly a year.

Derby will hammer us today and break the hoodoo in style.
Benali Saint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 I'd take a draw. But I am not expecting much
stevegrant Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Odds (from Ladbrokes): Derby 10/11 Saints 3/1 Draw 12/5 0-0 8/1 0-1 8/1 0-2 16/1 0-3 40/1 1-0 6/1 1-1 11/2 1-2 12/1 2-0 7/1 2-1 7/1 2-2 14/1 2-3 40/1 3-0 14/1 3-1 12/1 3-2 25/1 3-3 50/1
Appy Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Come on saints!!!!! Please don't let us lose to derby ffs.
Panda Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 THREE keepers in the squad! Perhaps we are dropping Kelvin off at Stoke on the way? Is there ane injury doubt on one of them or something? Seems odd otherwise.
old_southy Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 I agree, anything other than a Derby win would be good but can't really see us pulling out anything special on the road with all the transfer talk off the pitch.
sfcuk fan Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 You miserable negative toads. :mad: 15 posts in and everyone saying we cant beat a team who have'nt won for a year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We may not have got the results we wanted from the first two games against top teams but come on, ffs, we CAN beat derby :mad: I for one will maintain my confidence in the team for a while and go for a saints 2 nil win Come on you reds ( or yellows, greys, whatever we are today :confused: ) .
JibMcdo Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 If the matchday squad on the OS is correct, we will have two keepers on the bench today. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=10483
THEVMAN Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 As i said yesterday i heard a rumour Jamie White could be starting for us today,bit of a surprise if true.
the scud Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 They will score as we haven't kept a clean sheet away from home since the 3-0 win away against QPR
Nexstar Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Why do we have 2 reserve keepers?! Surely just put someone like cork in.
Window Cleaner Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Why do we have 2 reserve keepers?! Surely just put someone like cork in. Doesn't look very likely to me,no substitute defenders? Can only be a false lead from th OS to hide our real game plan. Cork for Bart or Forecast would make it about right, unless Morgan is to drop back if there's an injury or defaillance in defence of course-not wise,not wise.
Leicestersaint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 I am not optimistic about today - which is normally a good omen.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 If the matchday squad on the OS is correct, we will have two keepers on the bench today. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=10483 Perhaps thats the plan b have been asking for:D
Minsk Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 If the matchday squad on the OS is correct, we will have two keepers on the bench today. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=10483 Yep, I noticed that too. Also there is no mention of Wotton or Cork. Hopefully this is just an OS mistake. If not, this bench is even more mad than last weeks!!
VectisSaint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 The squad on the OS cannot be correct, surely. Why would we only have 16 players in the squad, including 3 keepers. Matchday squads are usually 18 or 19 players, unless we are saving money by hiring a 16 seater coach
saintjay77 Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Maybe Kelvin will be off soon so Forcast is being involved in the 1st team more. I cant see us having 2 keepers on the bench but you can take as many as you want in the squad. Cork wont play in this game or make the bench IMO as its too soon for him to jump into the way we are trying to play. Should be a good game though. Its just a matter of time before we get all the boxes ticked on the same day and look like a good team. Would be absolutley amazed if that happens too often though. As for JP losing hiss job based on results I cant see it happening unless we look like a team that is not at least moving in the right direction. If we look like we did last year then it will happen. But looking like we do right now we still look like we are doing the right things.

I don't know then, the BBC preview(for what it's worth) says Cork goes straight into the squad and may make the bench, confusion abounds-as usual,when the info available seems very doubtful.
bmthred Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 your rumour ref jamie white is correct, what odds first scorer?
benjii Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Jamie White as right winger? Does that mean John or McGoldrick dropped?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Jamie White as right winger? Does that mean John or McGoldrick dropped? If that is right i hope its DM that is dropped.
benjii Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 If that is right i hope its DM that is dropped. Or I suppose, it could be Lallana with DMcG or John "in the hole".
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Or I suppose, it could be Lallana with DMcG or John "in the hole". As long as it`s "Total Football";)
saint_ed Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 I predict we will struggle to score again. While I do favor this formation over 4-4-2, its biggest weakness is having only one man in the box. Our wingers are being told to stay too wide and the player in the hole isn't supporting the striker enough. Until we can learn to get more players in and around the box to receive crosses we won't score more than 1 goal a game IMO.
THEVMAN Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Or I suppose, it could be Lallana with DMcG or John "in the hole". Why,he`s been one of our better players so far.
buctootim Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Derby have 13 new players since last season. Their track record over the past year is now irrelevant. They have a very good loan from Arsenal and made some other good signings. If they happen to gel today and thrash us - its not the end of the world. If we win by three - it doesnt mean were going up. Lets just hope for a good match and a point.

Gemmel Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 If we sent out the man utd squad in Saints shirts today, we would still lose....We are Saints and that's what we do, any sort of record is always broken against Saints. Some sort of rule the FA included back in the early 70's
buctootim Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Are you Burley?? A good match and a point?? Let's hope we stuff Derby 4-0!!! Only 4-0??? Are you Branfoot? Of course I'm hoping for a big win, Im just trying to head off some of the wrist slashing if it doesnt happen
Saint@Bristol Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Am I the only person who not only hopes we can win this game, but actually thinks we will???
Leicestersaint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Am I the only person who not only hopes we can win this game, but actually thinks we will??? So it seem:cool:s.
Saint_clark Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 I think we CAN win, but whether we will is another matter. My Radio Hampshire is fooked, I shall have to wait until it comes onto Saintstv....
revolution saint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Am I the only person who not only hopes we can win this game, but actually thinks we will??? Yes. Derby haven't won in a year and they're playing us. It's inevitable we'll lose just as Phillips was always going to score against us last week. At least Oakley won't score against us though.
Danny Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Am I the only person who not only hopes we can win this game, but actually thinks we will??? Looks like it!
benjii Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Can anyone confirm the team? They were just talking about White on Solent, so I guess he's playing or they might have just been talking about the squad. Missed the line-up though. I'm keen to find out as soon as possible so I can plan how I'm going to win loads of money from the match. Thanks.
Um Bongo Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Come on Saints, finally it will work today and we will win. 2-1.

Davis, James, Perry, Svensson, Surman; Schneiderlin, Gillet, Lallana, Holmes, White, Mcgoldrick
Saint_clark Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Not having a go at Poortvliet, but seriously - WTF? Does he actually know his best team???
Edmonton Saint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Davis, James, Perry, Svensson, Surman; Schneiderlin, Gillet, Lallana, Holmes, White, Mcgoldrick Any idea of the subs?
revolution saint Posted 23 August, 2008 Posted 23 August, 2008 Any idea of the subs? Think it was John, Dyer, Cork, Bart and can't remember the other.
