Smirking_Saint Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 So Barnsley are better than Leeds and the Southampton squad is now weaker than last season? Barnsley will potentially field a full strength side, up for a game at Home. We will potentially field a side, half and half. With some players that have no real game time this year and some possibly tired. Its not clear cut as people are making out but yes, we should have enough, though Im going to stick my neck out and say if we field just reserves we will struggle.

benjii Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 4 or 5 at least sounds hopeful then. Depends what he means by "first teamer". If it includes, Yoshida, Cork, S Davis, Clyne, Fox, Guly etc... then that is what everyone expects anyway. Basically, the senior pros who haven't played much plus Isgrove, Rowe, Stephens... If it is, for example, Clyne - Hooiveld - Yoshi - Fox Cork - Davis Isgrove - Guly - Rowe Mayuka That should be good enough to dispatch Barnsley - the defence and midfield is largely Premier League quality players and we will have loads of pace upfront. Barnsely are one of the worst teams in that division and have been dicing with relegation for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 I don't often agree with Glasgow but on this i do. Have a bit of respect for the opposition, this is chance for them to forget about the league and dump a Premiership side out of the cup, they will be up for this and if we approach the game anywhere near like most on here then we will be coming home with our tails between our legs!!

Matthew Le God Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Egg on face??? Why is any of that "disrespectful"? Barnsley finished last season in 21st place and have had a poor start to this season. Why is it then unreasonable to call them one of the weakest sides in the Championship? Hooiveld, Cork, Do Prado, Fox, K.Davis played an important part in a Championship promotion team and some of them an important part for a Premier League side last season, Yoshida, S.Davis played important roles in Saints Premier League season last year, Mayuka is an international - why is it then unreasonable to expect those players to be able to beat a poor Championship side?

Colinjb Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Seems a fairly strong line-up to me. Only Isgrove from the academy starts, the rest (excluding Fox and K.

ooh it's a corner Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Just cashed out my bet from this morning.

The Kraken Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Quite surprised to see Fonte being put in there; and especially no Hooiveld in the squad. The latter leads to the former, I guess. And echo the Guly comments; most odd. I did notice that on Saturday he was sat outside the players' box fiddling with his phone for most of the game and looking disinterested. Understandable really. A decent line-up though, and hopefully the young-uns can get a decent run out. Might also be an opportunity to try Rodrigues in a slightly different and more central role than he gets in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
