Deano6 Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 It's game of football, nowt else. We will either win, lose or draw. But that's not good enough. We need to know NOW which one it'll be. And once we know we need to find out the reason why we didn't play as well as we should have, so we know who to boo and chant against when Saturday comes.

itchen_dan Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 I'm excited but not as optimistic as I'd like to be. Feel the same. Just got a niggling issue at the back of my mind as to whether Pards is playing mind games by saying Lambert and all are "touch and go" or they seriously are injured and therefore am worried for the weekend and possibly the Bournemouth cup game which is one I don't want us to lose!

Smirking_Saint Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 Peter Reid was there at the Reading game, i would think it was pretty unlucky to lose our 4 best players. I am pretty hopefull that Lambert, Schneiderlin and Punch will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowsaintsfan Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 I have a feeling it will be a draw, there will be mass doom and gloom on here but we will start to turn it on after that, I think we all have to remember whatever happens saturday its just one game and there is along way to go!

In terms of Lambert I have a feeling he's absolutely fine and Pards perhaps used this 'injury' as an excuse to try Barnard and Connolly out upfront together and give Rickie a rest. Also a bit of mind games for Plymouth ahead of Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 Plymouth know all about Third Divsion football and will be keen to start with a bang. Just like last season we are ill-prepared with players arriving too late to really gel with their team mates so expect over-enthusiasm to impress on their part, far too many loose passes as a result and not much cohesion in attack. Morgan will get booked in frustration as he contemplates another year of palying with averagely competent midfielders around him. We'll be vulnerable to set pieces again at the back especially from corners. We are so hyped up about our own abilities that we may not have prepared properly for Plymouth; if they come out fast at us we could be 2-0 down at halftime. This is likely to be our annual wake-up call in fact; if we draw 3-3 it would not surprise me but more likely we'll lose 2-1. Come Monday the Pardew out campaign could be in full swing on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 I'm excited but not as optimistic as I'd like to be. Kind of feel the same too, i'm actually a bit apprehensive for the entire season. I really want us to do well and believe we have the tools to do so, but then so did leeds the past 3 seasons and they never looked convincing. They only just made it this year. I just can't wait for the opening few weeks to be done with so we can get a sense of the potential season. It's important to have a good start, but i don't think you can read too much until after 6 or so games - the table is a bit of a mish mash before then.

SuperSAINT Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 Yeah, I was hoping to be 100% confident going into the season : A couple of months ago I had this great vision in my minds-eye of a full & proper pre-season (as opposed to last year) and a super-fit squad, with our 5-6 signings all bedded in. But we kind of go into it with 4 key players doubtful, and no great cover in for Morgan/Punch/Lallana. Still - I think we've got enough to see off the Pilgrims though.

ericofarabia Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 Hey, i'm pretty upbeat...yet have some real reservations after our underwhelming pre-season??? Thoughts.... Whoops...weary, should read 'wary'...sorry. I'm weary with effort trying to find out if the game is going to be shown here Since the very professionally run ShowTime stopped showing our mickey mouse league games and Al Jazeera took over it has been impossible to find out ant scheduling at all. At the moment the tv guide shows a 'Live' broadcast of a game that was played last week Could go down to the pub and make a few bets on the result i suppose!! The combination of Sky, opening game hoodoo, against one of the stronger teams with Reidy at the helm, and little n the way of pre season gelling in formations, line ups and tactics means I'd actually be releived at getting a draw to be honest. After that then we will be flying!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 3 August, 2010 Share Posted 3 August, 2010 I am nervous about saturday mainly because saints often have this habit of not living up to expectations. Most pundits are classing us as favourites, that makes me nervous. I was hoping that a side was going to be put together that would undoubtably look all dominating with some exciting new signings. The signings we have made have been ok but not wet myself ok, and with the loss of Papa and Antonio we have lost some buzz and speed, perhaps this will be rectified shortly, but overall I am a little more nervous and cautious than I expected to be at the start of this season.
