Right I’ll take the bullet then. I want to see Scienza, Matsuki, and Stewart all starting. Because why the f*ck not?
Might be worth Still listening to Adam and Jo in this week’s Solent pod. I found myself agreeing with everything Jo said: 1. We need a forward who is happy to put himself about and make his presence felt by defenders, at the moment no one is doing that simple job of bossing the opposition 18 yard box or feeding off through balls into the box 2. Still has to learn quickly to lead as well as manage. Don’t worry about dropping players that under perform, throwing hair dryers around the changing room when angry but be able to put an arm around the player who needs reassuring. The team looks unsure of their individual roles and maybe don’t understand what they are being told?

Want to see wholesale changes at the back. No one expects a win at Anfield so might as well try something different & who knows, if it works there then it’ll work anywhere (right?!) McCarthy, Fraser, Wood, Quarshie, Manning Charles, Jander, Fellows, Azaz, Robinson, Archer I know some will say no to Fraser at RB but he’s been our best player so we need to keep him in the team somehow & I think he is versatile enough to play out & out RB. We really need to make room for J Rob / Scienza to offer more in attack too and let’s face it he can’t be any worse than Roerslev has been the past 2 games!
Glad I'm not going to this one. Expect us to give a good account of ourselves but ultimately succumb to a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool's kids.
Can see it being similar to the cup game a couple of years ago. We will start well but ultimately their u18s are better than us so we’ll lose comfortably
Careful, what you say, it would be typical Saints to pull a rabbit out the hat and surprise us all, before meekly surrendering to Boro on Saturday
Put our U18's out then , I am sure Harry G could get us a goal or three? Put George in goal, another Long might do something special!
Us to win 1-0 off some random liverpool ass cheek in the 92 minute to make a mockery of the papers crowing over "slot time".
Slot's Second String School Still's Sad Saints I'm not very confident, Have to admit Hoping for magic But expecting **** We'll pass it around for Some pointless possession And get schooled by some kids like a training session We're defensively weak, Our attack pretty toothless We'll be easy pickings For a team that is ruthless I'll say 3 or 4 nil By the end of the game An hour and a half Of frustration and pain A salute to you travellers, Sat in the stands Still singing your songs And clapping your hands Self inflicted it might be A choice that you make If I pray for a win though It is for your sake Let's hope for a hero Downs, Archer, Armstrong I know who we need though But Shane Long is long gone Still still might surprise us With tactical nouse And pull off an upset That upsets the Scouse But I doubt it of course I'm a cynical soul My glass is half full And my luck's in a hole So I'll sit there on Tuesday Watching a stream Of Saints getting battered Living the dream. *Here's Shane just when we needed him
I’m dropping both stephens and THB. McCarthy Fraser squashy wood wellington Charles jelly Robinson Matsuki Seciento Archer if squashy and wood do well they can start against boro.
McCarthy Manning Stephens Wood Jelert Downes Charles Fraser Azaz Fellows Archer Will be the team I think
