    Two different XI's today do we reckon?

    Wonder if we'll see Quarshie and Downs.

    Not even sure who that is, where does he play?

    I'm honestly still half tempted to not go given how hot it is but I've paid for the ticket so may as well.

    At least the terrace is covered. Though that might make it worse I guess.

    Japanese playmaker, was on loan at Goztepe. Used mostly as a sub but got half a dozen goals and assists.

    A few teams in Bundesliga interested in him.

    Could be interesting. Hoping someone a bit leftfield will come out shining this season, whether it be a Matsuki, one of the new signings or a youngster. I'll take anything!

    Just tried to pay for the stream on the official website, using my Santander debit card.
    What a palaver.
    Went from the Saints website to my bank app to confirm the payment and all that happened was that my bank app hung and the payment failed, twice.
    Don’t know if it’s a Santander issue because after 2 failed attempts I used my MBNA credit card and bosh, straight through with no hassle and no hung apps.
    Now looking forward to seeing how we lineup and who shines.

    Honestly, it beggars belief doesn’t it?

    If you’re whinging about the first team sheet of preseason, for a friendly against a non league side, when the players have only been back 10 days, then you need to give your head a wobble

    Mental, all pre season is about is getting everyone fit, so everyone will play. Add in the level of the opposition and makes sense for utterly useless waste of space players like Fraser to play. He’ll still be the worst player on the pitch but he should get some fitness for when he hopefully leaves

    In all seriousness quite looking forward to this. Rare opportunity to stand on a terrace and might even see a BBD goal <diva>

    I'm interested to see what BBD might do if he's not shoved out on the touchline and shoehorned into a possession-heavy system

    I thought Fraser was good for us, coming off the bench, 2 seasons ago. I don’t have a problem with him being given a chance to see if he can replicate that.

    This. Think he could be a surprise package this season.
