Saints Academy Thread

Red card for Stoke.

 

Scissor tackle never a doubt.

 

Finished 3-0. Targett went off injured. We played a strong side. Pied worked hard...good play all round.

 

3 - 0 FT

 

I think that match really showed how playing a few quality players can bring out the quality in the rest of the team. Its why i think having our best youth players either injured, in the first team or on loan has made it hard for the U23's.

 

Good to see Virgil making the effort, he was coaching Bednarek throughout the game.

 

Nah, the coaching and scouting are ****.

 

He was last week at Villa too. It will do the lad a world of good being mentored by VVD

 

Virgil could pick the ball up on halfway and score on his own to be fair

 

Enjoyable game that.

 

Bearing in mind how desperate we are for a proper attacking midfielder, I would like to see Slattery given a few games against teams that are expected to sit back and shut up shop like WBA, Burnley etc

Just a flick through the photos shows how strong a team we put out last night....unlike at the start of the season. Poor old Stoke just caught it. Wonder how many games Pied and McQueen will get this season for the first team....both good players, but may hardly get a sniff.

 

There really is no reason not to try a different option, the creative side has been pants for most of last season and the beginning of this season

 

Decent free kick that, goalies made a right hash of it mind!

 

The OG was pretty amazing too....it wasn't pinged back with over much power....any keeper should have trapped that. Guess he took his eye of it as he thought of his next move....except there wasn't a next move.
