  1. I'm impressed with the Yeovil commentary from BBC Radio Somerset. The guy has done his research on Saints and knows a lot more about them than most away team commentators do.
  2. Alexander Ostlund was right back for most of the later part of 2006/07. Chris Baird played occasionally at right back before moving to centre back in 2006/07 and Jermaine Wright also had games at right back.
  3. Guly is a central midfielder. I said those four can and have all played as "second strikers".
  4. The Yeovil one is working fine. More interesting hearing the opposition commentary.
  5. Lallana, Puncheon, Chamberlain and Guly can all play as a second striker. Better to have experienced attacking midfielder subs on the bench than a youth team striker. Dickson, Guly, Holmes, Lallana are all midfielders on the bench.
  6. Who said he was picking the team? With pretty much every club in the world the final say if a player is signed is by one of the money men. After all it is their money and investing in a player is a big financial commitment. It would be daft for it to be any other way. Obviously it is not good if Cortese signs players the manager doesn't want (but there is no evidence of that), but I think he is well within his rights to refuse to sign a player recommended to him by the football staff as it is him running the money side. Signings come from consultation between the scouting staff, coaching staff and board, as it would be at any sensible club.
  7. No, but it is the most notable thing in the 30 miles between the two.
  8. The AFC Bournemouth website and a few other national and local media outlets are calling it the "New Forest Derby".
  9. - Guly is not a wide player really. Puncheon although frustrating at times is still very dangerous at this level. - Who is Seabourne? - Fonte will be back.
  10. Listen to Nigel Adkins in interview and you will find out why. He has mentioned a number of times he doesn't like to make public this information as it gives the opposition a clue as to how Saints might play. Thus he wants to keep injury news a secret as it gives an advantage. It may mean the opposition don't know how to prepare if they don't know who will start for Saints. That is more important than telling the fanbase what is happening and could be the difference between a win/lose/draw.
  11. He is 23 and a half. He still worries me greatly. He doesn't seem to be able to judge when to jump for a header and his general reading of the game is poor. He'll get found out if he ever plays at a higher level than League One. I don't think he is the man we need to partner Fonte should Saints get to the Championship. Martin shows much more potential in my opinion.
  12. Nigel Adkins and Alan Irvine post match interviews are available to watch on Owls Player. You can use your Saints Player username and password to watch them both as they haven't been put on Saints Player yet. It is a different interview from Adkins to the one heard on BBC Solent.
  13. Closes on 25th November and then reopens on 1st January.
  14. Also if Saints were to sell him, he'd cost roughly £2m, which Palace couldn't afford.
  15. Needs to be slightly more than that as an average I reckon due to the already poor start taking up 8 of the 46 games.
  16. He has a thigh strain and should be back for the Yeovil game on Tuesday.
  17. Why is it "picky"? If it is a foul throw, it should be given as a foul throw.
  18. Yep, it is a huge pitch. Alan Irvine asked for it to be made as big as the rules allow in the summer with a view to exploit League One defenses.
  19. It does take you quite a bit closer to the action than FM10. Any closer and the lack of graphics would give it away, as the players are no where near as detailed as they are on FIFA or PES. FM still has a long way to go animations and modal wise but is improving significantly each edition, it will never be as good graphically as FIFA or PES of course, but I'd say the underlying engine is a better representation of a real football match. Although purely cosmetic I think the buildings surrounding the stadium are a nice touch which gives the game more atmosphere than just a green field as it had previously. I doubt I'll use the twitter or youtube feature much, but I'd imagine lots will find it fun. The twitter one may become a tad excessive if you see it in loads of feeds and will get boring. The youtube feature will make it easier to report on career games you have and should prove popular I think.
  20. It gives a more zoomed in camera view similar to that of what you would see for a TV game, which wasn't possible before due to licensing issues.
  21. New match engine videos (all still work in progress) New for FM11 "TV Match view"... [video=youtube;fi3B-rIqY6k] Other match views... Social Network Features 1) The Football Manager series will introduce the ability to upload videos from the hugely improved Match Engine directly to a YouTube account. 2) Via Twitter, managers can set manual or automatic updates of achievements to their Twitter account.
  22. No two injuries are ever the same. Yes, both might be labelled as dislocated shoulders, doesn't mean they did the same amount of damage though.
  23. It is a very complicated joint and dislocating it may have caused untold damage to the surrounding muscles and ligaments which take months to repair.
  24. Saints don't play in the reserve league anymore after pulling out along with a number of other clubs. So it isn't the reserves as traditionally used at Saints. They will be playing friendlies home and abroad all season. Lots of other teams use the term "development squad". Martin Hunter is the coach of this side... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2090243,00.html
  25. Unlikely (but not impossible) Guly, Holmes and Dickson will start on Saturday as they were used for this rather than working with the 1st team in training.
