Sharp midfield again? mayuka on right wing I guess.

Chelsea Arsenal Man City Liverpool Southampton Man Utd Everton Spurs Newcastle Burnley Happy Clapper signing in (Although I will be happy with any position top 10)

It's a constant battle but unfortunately I keep coming up short

Nice to see the saints media team keeping a tab on Us. Seriously though lads if you are it's about time SWF forum got a mention/wave on the official twitter.

You used the word woeful, that I disagree with. Your new question is very different. Don't now move the target to try and sound like your trying to have an actual discussion.

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC substitutes vs @sportinghasselt (1 of 2): Boruc, Gazzaniga, Chambers, Fonte,Yoshida, Turnbull, Flannigan, Reed[/b], Sharp, McQueen, Sinclair, Mayuka, Gallagher Thankfully most of them are defenders, But clearly you are a wum and you are writing off our academy then. Try harder Barry

Sh itty

Yes i see it made a first half appearance in Belgium on McQueens face.

Saw someone on youtube comments suggest Mayuka could be converted into winger. Interesting idea, but I have only seen the little he has played at Saints and he never really had enough of the ball for me to get a real idea of his passing/crossing ability. Anyone seen more of him? What do people think of this suggestion?

Of course he will play, they have paid a **** load of money for him. Rogers will look like a tit if he doesn't give him a decent run, and I hope Lallana struggles to find any form under the pressure.

Agreed and was what I meant, should have said recent history.

[video=youtube;-AaPRStWSiA] Genuinely sounded disappointed that we didn't win at least 8-0 but excused it as was only first performance, liking his style. I guess he will be imminently addressing our recent poor chance conversion rate.

If he is I stand corrected, I don't know much about the lad to be honest.

Sounds like McQueen ran that first half. Laying down an early challenge against Gallagher for the first team youth striker spot.

@SouthamptonFC: 44: #SaintsFC make it two as McQueen’s inswinging cross from the right is headed in by Chambers at the near post. [0-2]

Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC · 24s 33: Sweet strike by Reed parried away well by Grootaers, with Olaf Rompelberg preventing Sinclair from following up. #saintsfc [0-1] no mention of mayuka yet… (edit:typical )

no stream but will be highlights later

Blue kit on show today then. Fonte captains…

Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC · 16s #SaintsFC team vs @EHC_Hoensbroek: K. Davis, Chambers, Fonte, Turnbull, Clyne, Cork, Reed, Ward-Prowse, Sinclair, McQueen, Mayuka. subs: Gazzaniga, McCarthy, Stephens, Hooiveld, Targett, Flanningan, S. Davis, Tadić, Isgrove, Sharp, Gallagher. Maya Yoshida, @DejanLovren05 and @ArturBoruc not yet ready for matches, while @GPelle9 only joined up with the squad last night. (I have been looking for dutch link as there is a lot of holland media there for Koeman and Pelle but its very unlikely to have a stream anywhere)

Especially Lovren?

Nice interview with Erwin on saints youtube as well [video=youtube_share;l_iJyAcJyww] Says at first that the players struggled with the training methods they brought as they were different to what MoPo was doing.

Thought it would be good to have a place like last year to discuss the performances of our players in the friendlies, training vids, Daleks inevitable relegation prediction. etc. FIXTURES: TUE 15 JUL - EHC Hoensbroek A THU 17 JUL - KSK Hasselt A MON 21 JUL - Swindon Town A FRI 25 JUL - AFC Bournemouth A THU 31 JUL - Brighton A SAT 09 AUG - Bayer 04 Leverkusen H Belgium training camp player list for reference: Artur Boruc, Billy Sharp, Calum Chambers, Dejan Lovren, Dušan Tadić, Emmanuel Mayuka, Graziano Pellè*, Harrison Reed, Jack Cork, Jack Stephens, Jake Flannigan, Jake Sinclair, James Ward-Prowse, Jason McCarthy, Jay Rodriguez, Jordan Turnbull, Jos Hooiveld, José Fonte, Kelvin Davis, Lloyd Isgrove, Matt Targett, Maya Yoshida, Nathaniel Clyne, Paulo Gazzaniga, Sam Gallagher, Sam McQueen, Steven Davis Read more at http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/13072014-saints-arrive-in-belgium-1751827.aspx#dA8xUurczwxMgjAQ.99 Highlights of our recent game against EHC Hoensbroek: [video=youtube_share;W3Goa0A4pWU]
