Michael Svensson came through the first half of tonight's friendly unscathed as Saints comfortably overcame their Swedish 3rd Division hosts, 4-0.
McGoldrick was suffering a minor illness while Surman, Baird and Bale all missed the match through minor knocks.
Dexter Blackstock and Djamel Belmadi gave Saints a 2-0 advantage at the break with Bradley Wright-Phillips and Gregor Rasiak completing the scoring in the second half.
Saints finished the match with 10 men as Jermaine Wright left the field with a tight hamstring after Saints had used up all their substitutes.
Saints face stronger opposition on Thursday as they visit Svensson's old club, Halmstaad.
