Really wouldn't be the biggest surprise announcing a signing today! pards knows he needs someone!!!

 

Can't see there's much pressure before Saturday given anyone coming in is likely to be cup-tied.

Agreed signing perminent or loan only option now!!! Straight red for morgan so thats 3 games out plus hammond out for at least another 3, we cannot rely on James and wotton alone for that long even if both did well tonight.

 

 

I do not understand why AP does not give Jamie White a run out, he could fill this role and get goals, no doubt about it IMP.

I would expect the Ipswich game to be an opportunity for Oscar Gobern, as a few others have stated.

 

James - Thomas - Perry - Harding/Mills (illness permitting)

Antonio - Wotton - Gobern - Lallana

 

Or he could put Waigo on a wing (Edit: or Holmes), and move Lallana into the middle.

 

Fort Tuesday less of an issue as Thomas- Fonte - Seabourne/Perry - Harding

If Gillet is back then he may play. Pardew has shown he has no problems with throwing a new boy in. I guess because of the makeshift defence we will go for a 5 man midfield of Waigo Gillet Wotton Lallana and Holmes, with Gillet and Wotton sitting deeper. Smacks a bit of last season!

I think this would be suicide, poor defence and a midfield too light weight. I agree, move Lallana into the middle though.

I see Kayne McClaggon has recovered from his injury and is back training. Another possibility for the bench over the coming fixture pile-up.

 

Yeah - I like the lad McLaggon whenever I've seen him...which isn't that much of course due to his serious injury. He looks very promising indeed & Pards would have seen little (if anything) of him because he's always been injured since his (Pard's) arrival as gaffer. Not sure how far Kayne is from staking a place on the bench tho?

We need to go and buy someone today if at all poss Stock or Danns or both and Barnard as well come on Saints lets mean business get these 3 in and we have a top quality squad with quality cover for every position and would give us the best squad in the league imo.

 

James & Wotton can fill in for Saturday for me Tuesday is the more important game and we will need some new faces all league games are must win to keep the play off dream alive

maybe he might do his work on the training grounds and get gobern up to speed...rather than throw money at a small problem

Do you think he is anywhere near ready though? If so, why not? Not seen him enough to be honest

how much do you expect us to spend...?

 

we have spent an utter fortune for league 1 already....with probably the biggest squad...maybe pardew could give gobern a game against ipswich....who cares if we lose..

---- James - Wotton

Waigo - Lallana - Antonio

------- Lambert

 

I think Antonio would be a better option from the left, his crossing isn't up to much and he looks better when he cuts in side and just runs.

 

The three advanced midfielders can basically spend the whole game switching around and we can easily swap to 4-4-2 when needed.

forever a red and white

for me its a no brainer, pay the money and get Stock in!!! for that matter, get Danns in as well!

 

can we stop obsessing about brian bloody stock please. Just because we have been linked with him. There are other midfielders out there, can bring in a loan if we get desperatley short in the middle

Is seaborne not cuptied?

 

Mills, Waigo and Gobern probably all deserve a run out and wouldn't really disrupt the team too much.

 

I'd be inclined to give Paterson a start, let Lambert have a break.

I would give gobern, mills, holmes, seaborne amd waigo a games against ipswich

 

I'd go for 'fringe' players all round - if we're going to get to the play offs we're going to have to blood a few more line ups as injuries and suspensions catch up with us (as they have!).

 

---------------------Bart

Thomas----Lancashire----Perry-------Mills

Antonio----Wotton----Gobern------Holmes

-------------Paterson--Connolly/Saga

 

Subs: Forecast, Saga, Saville, Boyle, Doble and any other youth teamers with squad numbers you can think of....

 

My selection might be slightly coloured by the fact I'm going to have to miss the game, but I honestly think this team could give Ipswich a run for their money :)

Jaidi at the back with Perry then,Harding (or Mills) LB, Thomas at RB, James in midfield with Wotton,Lallana,Gobern and Antonio (I suppose)

Suddenly our so-called 'bloated' squad seems very thin...

I'd let Mills retain his place. He played well and Harding could do with a rest.

 

Davis

Thomas - Jaidi - Perry - Mills

James - Wotton

Waigo - Lallana - Antonio

Lambert

 

Maybe consider Paterson instead of Lambert.

Well half of it isn't really even League 1 standard.Although if I were running the club I'd be tempted to ask Gillett (or Doncaster) where they are with that move and if it's going nowhere get him back here for the 2 league games that Morgan (and Hammond) will miss.I do not believe in tarting about.

I'd give Gobern a go for the Cup game,see where he is just now.

considering we have six players out for saturday i would say we are not looking to bad, if keep adding players whats the wage bill going to look like with a fully fit squad...'bloated'

 

Hang on. We're the 'Man City' of League 1 ffs!!!
