Have Saints announced any additional pre season games on top of the Brentford one. If not then I am concerned that we will be under prepared for the new season. Many of our rivals our playing quite a few games, many of them lucrative. Could be a cunning ploy of course
We never seem to play many friendlies....so I'm guessing that Saints use friendlies for preseason preparation, but not for fan entertainment or to help out local sides. It seems to be a plan they stick to, so must be happy with.
Saints had to put all the players on leashes so that Virgil didn't feel victimised. And, for heaven's sake, Saints, just buy Tadic some knickers!
What struck me (no, not a wayward Steve Davis shot) was the emphasis on striking the ball at speed. Hopefully a sign we will be getting forward a little quicker next season.
Anyone else notice that Virgil is never involved in contact play with the others....protecting him or perhaps not fully fit.
I like it when Saints show their caring side...they've done this before...extending contracts to get a player really up and running, even if it just means that they subsequently move on. Let's hope he gets back to where he should have been.
