Saints include Preston midfielder in friendly at Barnet

Saints included Preston midfielder Darren Carter in their starting XI for tonight’s friendly at Barnet.
Carter is deemed surplus to requirements by North End boss Darren Ferguson and recently spent time on trial at Millwall.
The 26-year-old started his career at Birmingham before moving on to West Bromwich Albion, from where he joined Preston in 2007 on a four-year contract.
Carter played for Millwall in a friendly against Exeter recently but a potential move fell down when the two clubs could not agree terms.

Never fulfilled that potential though but maybe Pardew can get the best out of him.
Solid enough without being spectacular.

We were probably as good or better than Millwall last season and if they don't want him then I think we could probably do better.

If you remember it took LEEDS THREE seasons to get out of this division.Its a place where anybody can beat anybody on their day. We as supporters must get right behind the boys for ninety five minutes in every game regardless.
Why are we playing not playing our strongest team yet again tonight? Surely by now we should be full strength getting match practice. We obviously need it after Saturday. Disappointed...not the right preparation for a season we're expected to win...

Of course I'm right behind them every week, but doesn't it make you mad when Pardew sticks out a team like this? I don't care what anybody says, we need to get consistency with a WINNING team...if we're gonna get out of League 1 it's got to be this season, (the owners won't be around for a third year in L1 I can tell you that now) and at the rate we're starting at we won't get off to a flyer and that will be CRITICAL. Winning is a habit. What bot of that do you not understand?
Personally, I'm thrilled that AP sees fit to bring the likes of Holder-Spooner, Raccine and Doble on in these games.
It says that after two years of throwing away our developed youth players such as Best, Blackstock, Mills etc. we might actually have a few potential irons in the fire!
I would be mad if we were playing only the so-called 'best 11' and the side became a breeding ground for complacency.
Give these kids and trialists a bit of
Bloody support man!

Racine and Holder-Spooner are both promising youngsters,apart from those 2 the others are all first teamers!!
Lambert is the only blatant absentee.
Don't think you understand the reason for playing friendlies.
Yes we need to be winning games,but since when have we had a good pre-season.
YOU need to lighten up and think about what you're saying.I trust in AP you obviously don't!!!

Good to get into the winning habit isn't it,especially with an understrength side.

What is important is who will the new signing be. I really do feel it will be Vassell, and that will be a huge feather in our cap in League one. It would really send out signals if a former England International who is still only 30 thought that we were going places.

I love these games and see them as a way for fans to stay in touch and really support the club. I can't for the life of me see how we can get 13k sths and and only a few go to preseason games... is there no interest in the club except home seats? It's upset me there has been no solent coverage.. and it's due to our club pr people releasing exactly what they like and shutting out the media... thats happened before in history and I don't like it.

We have put out a team that included a number of teenagers, 2 new full backs and a trialist and beaten Barnet 1-0.
What is so wrong with that?

In terms of watching, there is a cost to going to any game. I went to Sutton, and the cost was £10 ticket, £1 stand, £3 beer, £4 food and £12 fuel. Thats £30 for a pre-season friendly. All you see for that is a cr@p pitch, hundreds of substitutions, and players trying not to get injured.
I'm single, so money is not so important, but to most I think spending summer money on the kids and nice days out by the beach is far more important. Remember keep the family happy in the summer so they don't moan when you are never there during the season.

Wonder if we'd get Tyson and Vassell..
Checked that last Pards interview, I read it that this mixture will continue for Reading game. I guess he really doesn't want to give away much.
Got a reply on Twitter they said Carter looked a good tidy prospect but maybe lacked fitness... played 90 mins.

Could do a job in league one but no better than what we have got.
Would rather see us go for Oakley.
