Arizona Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 Doubt we'll get much traffic checking in on this one, so just the one thread. Personally I'd give a few players the night off, given how we've got 3 games in 7 days. I'd go with: Bart James Thomas Trottman Fish Bonio Wotton Gillett Holmes Pato Saga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Posted 6 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 6 October, 2009 Yeah, I'd revert to the team that beat the Gills on Friday, but for tonights game I'd rest a few of the big names. Perhaps Pardew wont, but it's a busy week to be playing unchanged sides. Mellis (international) and Lallana (minor knock) are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 (edited) Pards said he wanted to name an unchanged team from Sat but would be forced to make changes due to Mellis being on international duty & Lallana picking up a knock. So one would imagine there will be 2 changes & that will be that. I'd go with the sort of 4-3-3 that we played on sat. Anyone know whether Thomas is fit? If so play him at RB & move James into the middle. -----------------Davis------------------- Thomas----Jaidi-------Trottman----Harding -------James---Wotton--Hammond------- Papa-------------------------------Holmes ----------------Lambert----------------- Edited 6 October, 2009 by saints_is_the_south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 I'd prefer it like that to be honest. Me too - I'm an old f*rt so I don't go in for "resting" the players.. 3 games in 7 days? Well ease up on the training a bit then... Players always say they'd prefer to play every game. We haven't been together as a team for that long, so the more they play competitively, the more understanding they'll build up. Mind you, if Lambert gets a knock tonight, I'll be spitting feathers that he was used in a less-important game - fickle, moi?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 Think it was from Solent interview, he said something like it won't be reserves and it will be a strong team to win as think we can win the trophy.

niceandfriendly Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 where did he say that? On solent he said a strong team. Would expect a few changes. In todays Echo. He said if Mellis and Lallana were available he'd have named the same team and would look to take a few off on 65 minutes if we're in a position to do so. I'd like to see Holmes and Gillett come in, who we all know are decent players but haven't had a chance to show it yet this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 Would expect to see the bench failry full of nippers for their first run out with an old head on there for emergency. Jaidi looks like he still needs games seemed to be blowing a bit on Tuesday and looks a little bulky still. James is slowly becoming less bad at FB and is improving in the attacking sense, his crossing and link up play would benefit from being more settled. Is Morgan fit again? If so I would expect --------Davis------ James -- Jaidi --- Trottman/Perry ---- Harding ---------Gillett----------- -----Morgan---- Hammond----- Papa ---------------------Holmes ...............Lambert If Morgan is still out then Wotton in the DM role and Gillett more on the right If he is taking it seriously then don't see why he would give Forecast a game But I'm running close to 100th in the prediction league so WTF do I know?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 A settled side is good but we also need to give some game time to Holmes, so would like to see him start.

LostBoys Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 I see Scotty Bevan is the Torquay goalkeeper for tonight. He comes from Southampton and I remember refereeing a Hampshire Cup game when he played for Winsor at under 11 level. He had a terrible day that day against Waterlooville but not through letting any goals in as Winsor won 6 nil but because he kept hitting his head on the crossbar. He was well over 6 foot at age 10 and the school goal was not regulation size. His father ended up behind the goal telling to him to keep moving off his line to avoid any permanent damage.

Update from OS: Saints (from): Davis, Bialkowski, James, Thomas, Mills, Trotman, Wotton, Perry, Harding, Lancashire, Gillett, Antonio, Holmes, Hammond, Preen, Paterson, N'Diaye, Saganowski, Lambert. So my revised team: Lancashire----Thomas-------Trottman----Harding -------James---Wotton--Hammond------- Papa-------------------------------Holmes ----------------Lambert---------- Reserves: Antonio, Gillett, Bart, Mills, Saga Thomas instead of Jaidi who's rested. A pity we are only allowed five subs, so I don't think Preen and Paterson will be seen. I personally would not have risked Antonio either as a first showing in any cup match, but it seems this has been agreed as a condition of his loan.

St Marco Posted 6 October, 2009 Share Posted 6 October, 2009 It is a mickey mouse cup but i said the same thing about the Zenith Systems Data Cup and that did not stop the enjoyment of being at Wembley! So really as much as the rest of the football world might laugh at the cup we should give it a bit of respect. On paper this would be the easiest trophy for us to win. If we did win it i think that would be a great gift to our new owner and hopefully make him want more! So i think some players will need to be rested as we got another game on friday which is a little bit more important due to our league position. I would go for ---------------Bart/Forecast----- --------------------------------------- Mills---Perry--Thomas---Molyneux ---------------------------------------- Mellis-----Gillet--------Wotten-------Holmes -------------------------------------------- ---------Saga--------Papa------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
