"Saints succeed; Of the true old enthusiastic breed"
(Dryden)
No need for a detailed assessment or prediction for this fixture against Southampton’s kindergarten squad. Suffice it to say that Darrell Clarke will take this opportunity to experiment in some (if not all) areas of his starting XI with a view to having his strongest possible team available for next Saturday’s important League 2 match, the visitors being Salford moneybags City.
Top half of the table, here we come?
One point to highlight at this stage though … the kick-off is reportedly 7pm for those hardy few planning to attend - the reasoning behind this is presumably so that the match will end before the kids’ bedtime?
Not interested in this game in the slightest. Only benefit is it will give fringe players game time…i personally would NOT go to Wembley if we managed to get to the final of this awful competition.
It will most certainly be fringe players on the whole, I think we now have the nucleus of our first team squad in place.
Tend to think why the hell he signed players of a similar ilk to Facey & Kiersey in the first place?
Here Efl have a truckload of money and let our kids teams play in the competition said the premier league.Worst mistake they ever made and killed this for most fans.
I was going tonight but a combination of a bad cold and the awful weather has persuaded me to stay at home in bid to be fit for Saturday. I hope LP will put my fiver to freehold acquisition fund!!!
