Eight out of Ten Saints

[redkeith]

My nephew recently posted a picute of himself with Steven Davis .

My wife didn't know who he was, so I described her to him as a good player, 8 out of ten every week  but not really a Man of the Match.

Got me thinking, in this international wilderness of a weekend,  as to whether you could build a Saints 8 out of ten team.

Here is my effort.              

 

                                                            Peter Wells

            Jason Dodd Claus Lundekvam Malcom Waldron David Peach 

                          Matt Oakley        Morgan Scheiderlin     Nick Holmes

                                                   Steven Davis

                               Paul Rideout            Phil Boyer 

Nothing fancy, but good enough no to get relegated.

Have I missed anyone ?

Santa ‘Claus’ was definitely not an 8 out of 10 every week.

From what league?

The 8 out of 10 league 😉

[VectisSaint]

Harsh on Peachy (and Davo for that matter).

[Holmes_and_Watson]

8 out of 10 is my all star team. 🙂

So that's mainly Lawrie's team.

I'd have had Telfer in the above. And I'd not have had Claus or Oakley.

Obviously, I'd have Holmes in any team. 🙂

If a player was 8 out of 10 every week they wouldn’t be at Saints very long 😂😂

don’t you mean more like 6-7 every week? Solid, steady rarely had a bad game, some times good

[Midfield_General]

If we’re talking championship level then Breezer is a solid 6-7 every week. Never going to set the world alight but just gets on with it, does a job and we miss him when he's not there.

Surely we can get this going at SMS

Would be right up there with the Angus Gunn baby shark song. 
 

 

[Lighthouse]

The only consistent 8/10s I can think of were Toby and Virgil, even Mane, Tadic and (to an extent) Tiss blew hot and cold.

Solid six and seven is probably more fruitful; Niemi, Bertrand, Fonte, Lovren, Killer, Davis, Pelle, Le Saux

Are any other club doing it? We could set the trend - James Bree 6 7 6 7 6 7 with the hand movements

If you had a team of Oakleys, would that make it 8 out of 10 Matts? 

[Noodles34]

Morgan? Jesus, did you ever see him play? One of the best midfielders we’ve had.

I was wondering if we could have a team of Matts. Off the top of my head...

Any others out there, to fill the gaps?

Remember: Door Mat was not a player, but was our last PL season. 🙂

Tbc - Matthew Bound - Matt Mills - Matt Targett

Tbc - Matthew Oakley - tbc - Matt Robinson

Matt Le Tissier

Matthew Paterson

Yes I did , one of my favourites. I am open to any suggestions  for any other steady Eddie players. Maybe that chase back and tackle that Morgan did at Old Trafford disquallifies him.

Matheus Fernandes...

Jack Cork? Played a solid part in our promotion from the Championship, and came into his own in the PL under Poch too. Solid 6/7-10 player for me. Can't remember too many stinkers, just steady.

Matthew 'Gunner' Reilly

Matthew Marshall - Matthew Bound - Matt Mills - Matt Targett

Matthew Robinson - Matthew Oakley - Matheus Fernandes - Matt Robinson

Matt Le Tissier

Matthew Paterson

Matty Fernandes of course. 

And I'm surprised you've overlooked versatile full-back Matthew Robinson, who could play both sides and made four appearances under five different managers between 1994-1998 before becoming a copper; Matthew Marshall, a right-half who played once in 1894; and Matthew 'Gunner' Reilly, who made two appearances between 1895-96 and as a former Gaelic football player was able to turn his hand to a stint as a glovesman.

Matthew Marshall - Matthew Bound - Matt Mills - Matt Targett

Matthew Robinson - Matthew Oakley - Matheus Fernandes - Matt Robinson

Good shout. We could have done with few like that the last few seasons.
