saints_is_the_south Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 (edited) Thought i'd get the ball rolling on this... For me it would be as follows: Davis Cork - Perry - Killer - Surman Gillett - Wotton Lallana - Schneiderlin - Holmes McGoldrick Subs: Bart, James,White, Peckhart, John. Edited 27 August, 2008 by saints_is_the_south
rpb Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Same as against Derby please, though I would be very tempted to find a place for Cork.
washsaint Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I think JP will go with the side that started at Derby. Davis Surman Perry Svensson James Gillet Schneidlerlin White Holmes Lallana McGoldrick Subs: Cork Wotton John New striker Mills
South City Si Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Same as against Derby please, though I would be very tempted to find a place for Cork. Maybe should give Killer another rest then, and put him on the bench.
Matthew Le God Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 At some point the CB's have to be Svensson and Cork so why not start on Saturday
Deanovski Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 svennson has not trained at all and has spent alot of time on the physios table.maybe another rest would be good
toofarnorth Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 What about Cork at left back. Who is better, James at RB or Surman at LB?
saintbob40 Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Got to include Cork so either Perry or James drops out for me.
Minsk Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 svennson has not trained at all and has spent alot of time on the physios table.maybe another rest would be good I think a CB partnership of Cork and Perry would be too short and would not win anything in the air against 6'3'' Burgess. I would go with the same 11 that started against Derby, with a bench comprising: Bart, Cork, Wotton, and 2 of Thompson/John/Pekhart (depending on how the latter has looked in training).
saints_is_the_south Posted 27 August, 2008 Author Posted 27 August, 2008 My thoughts on swapping the team around slightly is that we have to remember these players are only young so whilst they are going to carry on getting better as the season progresses they are also going to get tireder so rotation can only be a good thing IMO.
Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I think a CB partnership of Cork and Perry would be too short and would not win anything in the air against 6'3'' Burgess. I would go with the same 11 that started against Derby, with a bench comprising: Bart, Cork, Wotton, and 2 of Thompson/John/Pekhart (depending on how the latter has looked in training). Perry wins a lot of headers against taller players. It's incredible really how good he is in the air.
Saints67 Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Blackpool are supposed to be playing 4-5-1 (this saturday) which proved difficult for our team to break down under previous recent managers. Let's hope 'Total Football' pulls them all over the place.

Let's hope 'Total Football' pulls them all over the place. Not a problem. Our midfield/forwards are so hard to mark because they are constantly switching positions and running all over the pitch.

JP states on many interviews that the lads wish they could play every day!! I know that would eventually drain them but they seem to be full off energy at the moment. Tireder??

There's a two week gap after the Blackpool game so I think we dont need to worry about resting anyone just yet.

TopGun Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 It's good to have so many choices for the positions. What a change from last year. I would rest Killer if he has been feeling it this week. We should be able to beat Blackpool without him and then he can benefit from the two week break before QPR too.

You don't even have him as a sub!
Bensfcno1 Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Isnt this a nice dilema for a change! 4 Central defenders in form!
saints-cris Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 ----------Davis------------ Cork - Perry - Killer - Surman ----Spiderman - Gillett------ ---------Lallana------------ White---------------Holmes --------McGoldrick--------- Subs - Bart, James, Wotton, Dyer, Peckhart. Haven't even got the likes of BWP, John, Euell, Rudi etc even on the bench. Spoiled for choice at the moment.
saintkiptanui Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I hated these threads last year, same old rubbish but this year the joy of seeing the line up almost masticates me.
Andy_Porter Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 If everyone is fit then i'd start the same eleven that started against Debry.
tombletomble Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 If everyone is fit then i'd start the same eleven that started against Debry. I would like to see that too. It sounds like they played very well on Sat. Confidence should be very high. There is no point messing around with it. I would like Pekhart (sp) to com on for the last 20-30 mins so we can see what he can do.
St Chalet Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Blackpool are supposed to be playing 4-5-1 (this saturday) which proved difficult for our team to break down under previous recent managers. Let's hope 'Total Football' pulls them all over the place. It will technically be 3-4-1 if Wright and Hammill are selected.
John B Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Thought i'd get the ball rolling on this... For me it would be as follows: Davis Cork - Perry - Killer - Surman Gillett - Wotton Lallana - Schneiderlin - Holmes McGoldrick Subs: Bart, James,White, Peckhart, John. I dont think JP will drop James yet I dont think it would be good for team spirit. Although he is good I think Cork will have to wait. I know we need to win our games but developing a team is very important Cork is only on loan James is one of ours.
Andy_Porter Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I see no reason to drop James either, Jack Cork will understand that he needs to wait to get a run in the side. Chopping and changing a winning side to accomodate someone on the back of a good game isn't the best idea, imo.
St Chalet Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Personally I would go for same team that started against Derby with subs as: Bart Cork Wotton John Peckhart
