Skates Away 25th Jan

[WinglessWonder]

I'm hoping that the players can somehow sort themselves out and bloody win as living in Fareham will be even more insufferable if not! Due to the rubbish bubble rules I will be watching in a local alehouse (saints shirt on of course!) with fingers firmly crossed. 

Good luck to those who are making the trip; having visited in 2004 & 2005 I know it's not the nicest of away ends out there!

If you were under 40 and wanted to know what my generation and older talk about when they describe what the poorer Division 1 grounds used to look like in the 1970s and 1980s, the Milton end at the Fish Shed is it.

Why 😉

[Gloucester Saint]

At least after getting walloped there, the fanbase doesn’t have to pretend to support the likes of Flynn Downes, Ryan Manning and Nathan Wood any longer and get stuck in. The more piss takes the better. Give them some of the misery they’ve enforced on the fans.

Good point! I've known non-league grounds have better facilities to be fair!

Exactly, give them some proper shit and make them have a cry baby fit at the fans like all 3 have done before. That will hopefully prevent them from being picked any more.

Gimps will say, “you wouldnt say that to their face”

I like to think we still have a few fans who fucking would say it to their faces.

Less inbreds noticed in the 70’s though.

Be careful, Nathan Wood might tell us to fuck off again , don't want to hurt his feelings

At least with the midweek game, it means less time for all of their Portsmyths to get an airing. 

Wonder how many times we will hear of:

- the mythical strike breakers

- how they sent us down in 2005

- the list is endless 

[Gloucester Saint]

Agree with TSP - even if we can only get 45 mins out of Romeu it’s him and Downes starting there in central midfield unless Charles can start. Maybe rotate Oriol and Charles. Not a game for Jandar. Have to play 4231 and get Fellows and Scienza playing wingers.

But Tonda won’t. Unless Sheff Utd score 4 or 5 and he becomes. Untenable.

Unless Romeu has improved dramatically over the last few weeks, he won’t be anywhere near starting unfortunately, best we can hope is Charles is fit enough for over an hour.

True, maybe the other way around, get 60 from Charles and 30 from Oriol. Rest Stewart midweek, see if we can get 60-70 mins Sunday. Last time Stewart played 3 in a week he broke.

[Challenger]

Seriously doubt SR will give shit about the implications of this fixture, just another game to them.

Downes and Romeu to clumsily barge into skates players in the first 15 minutes and carry a yellow the rest of the game whilst doing nothing but pass backwards and sideways. 
 

I’ve seen nothing to suggest that Jander and Bragg have left mental strength and that’s the only thing that really matters here.
