Saint Garrett

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34762806 Some interesting comments regarding people who leave early. One of my pet hates, and having been to quite a lot of grounds, always feel that our fans are some of the worse for it. The Kingsland/Northam corner where I sit, is regularly half empty with 85 mins on the clock. Never understand it, especially when the game is not dead and buried.

I used Kodi and the "Phoenix" plugin, perfectly fine free watch, no buffering.

Had a good game today.

Really good performance that.

Personally don't think it weakens the team, think they're both at a similar level.

Personally think JWP will be a better player than Clasie, also would prefer JWP to be playing most weeks, or he'll be off. Club needs to show it'll prioritise youth products if the standard between the player is very little IMO.

Stek Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand Romeu Clasie Davis Mane Pelle Tadic Team picks itself really, only question would be be between Clasie and JWP.

Has improved considerably since the first few games, he was all over the place defensively. Probably helps having a settled back 4 alongside him as well.

Loved going to Herning this summer, more than happy to be back in Europe next season!

Pwopa Nawty....!

Apparently there was a few Bournemouth fans with "WE 8 Saints" on the back of their shirts, hilarious.

Whole lot of meh, currently no better than JWP or arguably Reed. Seems a shame to bring in a player from abroad rather than blooding the youth if there isn't much in it. However, I'm assuming they've got high hopes for Clasie, and he will come good once he bulks up and settles, new team and league after-all, a long way to go though. Be interesting to revisit the subject come the end of the season.

Some lairy Saints "youths" were trying to cause trouble early on by Yates, Police ran them down the road, pathetic. Horses were unnecessary.

Some pathetic little Saints chavvies trying to make a derby out of it, kicking off outside Yates then getting chased down the road by the police, embarrassing.

Been absolutely brilliant this season. We'd be buggered without him.

Think Howe will make a decision whether to play Boruc or Federici - Boruc is far the better keeper but obviously didnt do well last week vs Spuds.

Surman should get a fantastic reception - always tried his best but had to leave because of a lack of money. Boruc is a character, and was a good keeper for us, we just out grew him. Looks a bit more vulnerable than he was for us too.

Ah, I noticed they were smaller, i assumed they had done a special Carling cup one, which was 2 quid or something. £4 is ridiculous.

Will be a tough game I think, a lot harder than people are saying on here - wouldn't be surprised if they have lots of possession. Would be a different game if Wilson was fit IMO, really good player.

Stek Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand Wanyama JWP Davis Tadic Pelle Mane Expect Clasie to start though. Is there any chance of Long/JRod making the bench ?

Think the club have made a bit of a f*ck up calling this one a category A, yes they're geographically pretty close, but there just isn't the spice there from our end - with the addition of it being on TV i'd be surprised if it's a sellout.

Better than a group at the top of the Kingsland/Northam corner who want to sing about Pompey every 2 minutes. So boring.

What a shocker of an atmosphere....and that first half I was actually bored. Two good goals though and through to the next round. Have to be better if we're going to beat Liverpool.

I like Gaston, but have to disagree with this. Davis is arguably our most important player. We play so much better when he is on the pitch.

He's improved, still a tad worried about him defensively, but the addition of VVD, Wanyama getting back on the rails, Bertrand getting back to fitness, and not playing with a "front 4" has definitely helped Cedric. Davis has played in front of him for the last 2 away games too. Always looks dangerous going forward and great to see he can whip in a decent delivery with his left foot.
