wessex saint Posted 2 August, 2018 Share Posted 2 August, 2018 Apologies... haven’t seen this elsewhere so thought I’d start it. Soooo, Weds night. Yoshi, Cedric, lemina, redmond not involved. Started with maybe 7 of Hughes’s favoured starting XI. I would like to think that the starting XI on Saturday will be much closer to his idea of our best first XI. Possibly still without yoshi as he’s just come back. In other news, BVM are bringing 800 so it may feel like a real football match rather than a training game My suggestions: Don’t sell targett... he looked decent on weds. Gabbi is key, he looked really bright v celta vigo... just play a system that gets the best out of him. Flog Forster.. even if it’s at a loss. Hs obviously not required so get him off the wage book. Umm.. and that’s it. Hopefully a few more saints fans will be there Saturday than last night! Cheers Nick Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessex saint Posted 2 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 2 August, 2018 Oh, and apologies. Stuart Armstrong looked promising last night,; sprints into space in front of him with the ball- not seen that since ...erm.. lallana maybe? If the Northam mongs can get the Celtic Armstrong song going I’ll be stunned! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 3 August, 2018 Share Posted 3 August, 2018 I'd like to see Sam Gallagher given a start and a decent period of time on the pitch, to see if he might make it this year (as I hope) After all, the point of these friendlies is at least partly to assess players against proper opposition, not just to build up fitness.

wessex saint Posted 3 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 3 August, 2018 Yep I’d agree Need to understand what attacking options we have I.e. can he play the target man role? To be fair he looked quite quick on weds night so would be good to see exactly what he can offer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 3 August, 2018 Share Posted 3 August, 2018 Clean sheet and a few goals would be welcome and a nice confidence boost for next Sat. I guess the first XI will give us an idea of MH's preferred line up also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 3 August, 2018 Share Posted 3 August, 2018 I just hope Shane Long isn't starting again. He's played a worrying amount in pre season for a team not trying to get relegated. If Hughes sees him as a starter, we're in for a shocker of a season. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 4 August, 2018 Share Posted 4 August, 2018 Doesn't look like that many tickets sold for this considering season ticket holders could claim a free one, nice day with a Saturday 3pm kick off hopefully a decent walk up and make the ground seem more full than it was on Wednesday.

Yeah, I forgot to get my free ticket in time, the deadline was 08.00 on the deadline day, ho hum, so I've made other commitments. We've got a full week to debate amongst my crowd which pub to go to, but KO time against Burnley means we may well have to adjourn to a different one afterwards.. In other news my ST arrived this morning so the anticipation can begin. It's a bit like Christmas: when you're young the anticipation starts earlier, now you wait a bit longer but it's still there.

John Boy Saint Posted 4 August, 2018 Share Posted 4 August, 2018 Anyone know if print at home tickets will scan from your phone screen? My print at home tickets didn’t work the other night in the turnstile, so we (and others) had to be checked in through the big exit doors by folks with hand scanners, mine didn’t scan still so the guy tapped in the detail off the ticket. I’d say give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 4 August, 2018 Share Posted 4 August, 2018 Anyone know if print at home tickets will scan from your phone screen? The turnstile scanner itself is too thin to fit a phone in so you'd have to go to one of the stewards with their mobile scanners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
