Saints hand FIVE their first starts
6:00am Friday 8th August 2008
By Adam Leitch »
JAN Poortvliet is planning to hand five players their first ever Saints league start in tomorrow's curtain-raiser at Cardiff.
Remarkably, that will be the first time since 1946 that any Saints manager has given so many players their first start at once.
Poortvliet is expected to start with Simon Gillett, Morgan Schneiderlin, Lloyd James, Jake Thomson and Lee Holmes at Ninian Park.
But he has no doubts that they are ready to shine.
He said: "When you make a choice you make a choice and the coach has to be the number one person who believes in it.
"I don't know who will be the subs for this team but I think they need each other, they have played with each other and every game they play well.
"They have to go on and you have to believe in them. It's up to them because at some time you have to start.
"Normally you start with two or three youngsters but we start with a lot because the situation is like that.
"We have the quality and it's up to us and them to show it in the real games."

Do you remember the young side that Chris Nichol built. They were exciting and got us to two FA cup semi finals. We have pace in the side now which we have been lacking. I still think though that we need a couple of fullbacks and a strong striker even though McGoldrick has done well in the friendlies.

Just been looking at other websites predicting that Saints will struggle to come higher than 22nd this season, i think that would work in our favor we were always good as underdogs, but when we were predicted to do well we stumbled under the pressure. this side i think are gonna shock the division and be right up there in the promotion mix.

Keep trying, but you won't spread your mood of doom and gloom to the majority of people who want Saints to do well.
Still at least you've learned to be ironic, which is a step up from the usual dross.
Up the Saints.
