Don't be too greedy - we already won the Euros!

 

Or maybe Tadic for Hesketh actually as it mihgt not be ideal throwing him in at an away game vs Israel's finest. Probably save him to start in home games in the Europa. Although Forster has not had a save to make all season so it's me being kind to McCarthy.

 

I'm not really bothered about the distance for this one (Israel is roughly 4 hours flight time), more worried about the weather. Be'er Sheva play in the South close to the Negev desert (can recommend a tour if anyone is going) and even now temperatures will be quite warm.

When we get the ball we will need to keep possession otherwise I can see them trying to tire us out. I think this might be quite a draining match if we have to chase.

 

This. Don't think this is the game to throw Hesketh in with hostile crowd etc.

 

Sorry FLT, I'm a fleeting glory-hunting plastic fan of these recent not606 successes, not appreciating the dark days of League One not606 threads, when the only replies were from one man and his (keyboard literate) dog.
Of course, true not606'ers will always appreciate the quick-fire witty repartee of FLT, his ability to sum up a match in one pithy phrase, and his unwavering ability to be positive in the face of overwhelming odds (That, my friends, is how to win away)

That should open the flood gates for nostalgic reminiscences of the good'ol days, when emojis were just mis-spellings, and you HAD TO USE CAPITALS to get your point across. 'Branfoot Out!', or am I now being prehistoric?

 

No one will forget my mentor. I had to learn the skills and technique from somewhere.

 

I like all these games and am really enjoying being in Europe.
Just to see Inter Milan v Southampton in bold on our fixture is awesome!

 

Ah, but can you start an argument in an empty room.

 

this team beat celtic didn they.
but celtic are pretty bad areent they
so saints can win porbably
i am thinking of replacin mark lorenson when he retyres

 

We've not got to that bit of the training Fran.

 

Are you arguing with me??

 

Bloody right I can and you had better not think otherwise.

 

Anybody know when the squad is flying out.?

 

I wouldn't dare

 

I've no idea on the type of crowds you get at Israeli matches or the pitch quality, but you probably need a decent amount of experience for this game. Hopefully he can join from the bench as we will have to protect Tadic physically.

 

Agreed that we need to protect Tadic. Make no mistake about it though, a win here would be absolutely massive. I'd certainly take a win here over Leicester.

Regarding the atmosphere, check youtube out for their game against Celtic.

In fact, I think they've only lost 1/2 games there in total, though admittedly it's quite a new stadium. Not 100% sure of facts though.

 

Will be a completely different atmosphere to what many of our players have experienced before. For me Tadic is the only one who (at national level) will regularly experience something similar....so he has to play



McCarthy
Martina Yoshida VVD Targett
Reed
JWP Clasie
Tadic
Long Redmond

Subs: Forster, Fonte, Cedric, Bertrand, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Austin

 

Not strong enough for me.

I'd have Forster & Romeu in. Plus at least 1 of Pierre & Davis (not in your 18?)

Reed & JWP in midfield won't end well in this sort of game imo.

 

In fact, I'd certainly start Davis, another one who would have played in a similar sort of atmosphere.
