saint lard Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 (edited) Saints V Norwich Hereford v MK Dons Leeds V Accrington Carlisle V Bradford. Ties to be played week commencing 14th December,i believe. Pretty chuffed getting Norwich at home in the Semi,i feel we can overcome them in a one off match,would not have been so confident in a home /away scenario.

bjk Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 This is a good draw.I'd rather face MK Dons or Hereford over 2 legs than Norwich so if we can get past Norwich we've got a very good chance of getting to Wembley.At this stage anyone at home is a good draw really.

Northam Girls Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Oh poo would have prefered one of the other two - still when we beat them at home in the Semi we can start booking our trip to Wembley. Been once for concert but a footie final in AP's first year will be no more than he deserves. C.O.Y.R. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Norwich away would have been a nightmare, but getting them at home seems totally winnable! We get to see how the tie might turn out next Saturday aswell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 We would have to beat Norwich anyway to get to Wembley so home in the Semi is probably good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point and well presented. With Naaarrrwich already up there vying for a promotion spot, will they view this game as a hinderence? I'm pretty sure AP will be delighted with another home game and will be licking his lips at a possible big day out at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 I think thats a good draw, more likely to beat them in a one off game at home than over two legs. Beat Norwich and you have to fancy us over two legs against MK Dons or Hereford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countysaint Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Without getting carried away, Why should we fear anyone home or away in this league? Many on here are saying that they wouldn't fancy us away to Norwich. Why not. On the evidence in recent weeks when high flying MK Dons and Charlton turned up(or not) we made them look what they are..........Average at best! This side now IS capable of beating anyone including Leeds. We have a winning mentality now which is something that Pards stated he wanted right from the Hearts game.We also have a team that don't know when they are beaten, L Orient and Torquay being two examples of comebacks recently. Believe in this team and we WILL be promoted this season. Stuff the season of consolidation sh1t. Listen to Pards interviews after the Charlton game.He mentions Wembly appearences, either through the JPT trophy final OR PLAYOFFS This team BELIEVES that they are capable, so should we...............COYR.

Spudders Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Best draw we could have hoped for in my opinion. As others have already said, this round is one game, whereas the next round is over two legs. Would rather play Norwich just the once, plus being at home is great. I reckon we'll get a big crowd for this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Rabbit Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 This is the best draw for us.....we've already shown we can beat mk dons...i'm sure we can handle hereford, worry about that later. As said above...Norwich over 2 legs could be an open ended contest...wouldn't be so confident of going to wembley with that. However, a single game at home, playing like we are at them moment...we should get through to the 2 legged final...and we should be able to take either of the other teams over 2 legs. That's alot of 'shoulds'......Can almost smell Wembley now though....we have been given every chance to get there, so let's make sure we take it and get a big crowd for this game.

I hear what your saying,however although playing very well we still only drew with Orient and Torquay and we still have this tendency to always concede goals late in games so you still never know with Saints.Too many times in the past when everyone has been so confident of Saints winning we have ended up disappointed.Although we look like beating everyone at the moment i still get worried about over confidence.

oggiee Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Norwich are in great form... even better than ours, they've won 8 of their last 9 games, and the one they lost in that time was away to Leeds. Still, i'm feeling confident of getting a result, though I doubt it will be easy by any stretch of the imagination. Hopefully it will be a good game, as you've got us scoring freely (what is it, about a average of 3 goals a game??), and them with only 4 goals conceded in their last 9 games.

Tac-tics Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Not worried about Norwich, yes they should be respected but we are the better side, Holt is a poor mans Rickie Lambert who Jaidi will easily contain.

I talked to a Swindon supporting mate earlier today, he said that Norwich were absolutely dire in their Johnstone's Paint Trophy match on Tuesday night. Swindon are having a lot of trouble scoring at the moment, but they apparently ought to have won about 6-0. He suggested that our reserves could probably beat Norwich if they played like they did in midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 From reading their forums it seem like their manager puts out the reserves for the JPT - if this is the case then we should most certainly beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaptopSaint Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Put it another way, I reckon Southampton away would have been the tie everyone else would have hoped to avoid.

SFKA South Woodford Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Doubt it will be on TV this time as there are Premier League fixtures on both the Tuesday and Wednesday evenings that week. I really want to go to the game, but am scheduled to have an operation to have two wisdom teeth removed at four o'clock on the Tuesday afternoon. So the guys had better win for me, as i'll already be in a lot of pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 The dream Saints-Leeds final has definitely moved a few steps closer this morning! Last time we beat Norwich in the Cup it was on the way to Cardiff, so why not Wembley this time?! Norwich home was possibly the best draw for us. Big crowd, more revenue in the coffers for this game, as the Southern Final home leg (hopefully) would be a big crowd even it was Hereford in all likelihood.

saintstr1 Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Best Draw we could have got I think, Better to play them in a one off than a two leg affair. For now though I would rather cocentrate on 6 points from Brighton & Norwich this week, Get them and then we will be looking the real deal.

SO16_Saint Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Think i'm more happy that Hereford are at home to MKD rather than us being at home to Naaaarwich. Hereford are 100x more likely ot beat MKD at home than away, so we could see a Saints / Hereford pre final final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Norwich at home good draw, I know they've been on a good run of late, & I watched them win 3-1 at Stockport couple of weeks ago. Whilst that score line sounds convincing, it really wasn't. I was expecting to see a confident & much better team, similar to what I've seen of Saints. I expected them to be full of running & a much bigger goal threat than they turned out to be. In fact they didn't create a single goal, County gifted them all three from poor passes around their own box, and goalkeeper error(similar to Hammonds miss against Charlton but they scored). Other than that no goal threat, I was really surprised how poor they looked. Hope they play like that at St Marys in the league & Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 BRILLIANT!!! With my other half being a dirty Canary, we couldn't go to either of the league games this season, due to work commitments (and haven't been able to for the same reason as we've been slipping down the Leagues together...), but we can go to this game! Whoop whoop And we're at home, which is a big advantage. Great draw for me, on a personal level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvaduck Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Remember a Cup game against Norwich in the early nineties - first game I took my son to - he was a Liverpool supporter as most young kids were at the time Managed to get tickets in the stand close to the Directors Box Saw a lot of the ball because it spent most of the game level with our eyesight!! Branfoot never understood the concept of FOOTball only LONGball I think next month's game will be more attractive to watch!

Jackie@home Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Saw Leeds v Norwich a few weeks ago and Norwich looked pretty good - some quality passing football.

niceandfriendly Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Agree it's the best draw we could have hoped for, but the result will by no means be a formality. Norwich, by all accounts, are up there with us and Leeds as one of the best teams in this League so they will feel they can beat us. It could be a very tight game, but we have no reason not to be confident in our own ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 Not a bad draw at all, anyone at home would have been perfect - as i honestly feel we could beat anyone at St Mary's at the moment. ....and if Hereford beat Mk Dons....which is completely possible, wembley looks amazingly close..
