Can't say I'm fussed in the slightest about this starting XI. It's fine by me. These players need games.

My only gripe is with the bench. It's impossible to bring all 6 outfield youngsters on, so why select them all? Half kids, half first team - and then depending on how the game pans out pretty much determines which half of the bench you then use.

I am not fussed either but then again i am sitting in my nice warm home

I Feel for the loyal saints supporters who have gone to the game on a cold October night paying for travel and tickets to watch this ****

So when do we give the up and coming players experience? against Chelsea?
and why will a defeat of the second team reduce the confidence of the first team players who didn't play?
the only people losing confidence are the fans on this forum - and for no reason at all!
Goals galore for Saints 2nd 11 after a little chat at half time.
Can't remember a positive post on here for weeks

The problem is that the fans will be negative about tonight if we lose so that wont help our side.

Lee & De Ridder off.

I am thinking we all need to get a grip here...just say we played our strongest team and, besides possible injuries, we lose the game - how will that affect us...

And the way we are losing games and shipping goals NA has done the sensible thing to ensure this didnt happen.

Also, he needs to see which other players are ready for consideration (which may sound like not many...)


So, just get behond the team and support them, win or lose...

Not sure I understand the problem, sure we all love our club and want to do well but that isnt always possible.

Personally I get more annoyed with the team when they play really badly in a meaningful game - even against Spurs I wasnt too unhappy as 2nd half we were great.

Now this may not happen today but what else did you exepct with this team out?

Really? Lets not play our best team incase they get beat and it damages confidence? From what I have seen we seem to be getting beat most weeks anyway. But I take your idea in board. The next time we get UTD, City, Chelsea et al we'll not play our best team because we don't want them on the end of a hiding and damage confidence.

Seriously this was the perfect time to try and get a win with are best players and get some confidence. If we had lost with them then we would know we need wholesale changes as they are not good enough.

I couldnt disagree more - why on earth would we not play our best 11 in the premiership against any of the teams. If we did play them against Leeds and it backfires (we lose) then NA is under more pressure as is the team...

makes perfect sense to me!
