My two pence: It's a friendly against a side I've never heard of and couldn't care less about. Hopefully we don't risk anyone with any injury concerns. HA'WAY THE LADS
Thanks for your efforts RTB. Not bothered about this one. Fitness for some of the lads who have been missing. That's it for me.
Wasn't expecting a thread, top marks mate. This all looks really well organised and professional. The club seem to be instilling the idea, in the minds of the players, that SAFC is a club whereby high standards are demanded and rewarded. I'm less interested in them charging a few quid for the stream or playing a convenient opposition tbh. Rather that than the ramshackle training camps we've previously had which were sometimes more like stag weeks than serious team building.
Millwall have a friendly against a Dutch team on Saturday aswell in preparation for our game. I have no issues at all about us playing this game. It keeps the lads ticking over and match fit. It also gives Mogga a chance to try new tactics and formations out.
Looking forward to LND getting some game time, pity Ballards not quite there yet. No injuries and hope our expectations of LND are sensible as he's been out a long time.HTL

Meh to the friendly. Just hope Stewart, Alese, Cirkin, Gooch, Michut and the others can come through this unscathed and get some minutes under their belts
I'll probably watch this. The players all seem up for it and say they've been working on new ideas ... ... after seeing some of the quality goals we've scored I've become reluctant to miss games.
