Justin C Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 A good line up. Will be interesting to see the bench to see if there are a few kids on it.
itchen_dan Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 Shame Martin doesn't get a chance. Would've liked to see Doble get a go as well. He must be decent if he can get in the full Welsh side.
Leslie Charteris Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 "On the bench for Saints today are Davis, Martin, Harding, Butterfield, Chamberlain, Doble and Reeves" according to the OS.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 Just right team I reckon - can't make too many changes!
benjii Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 I note Connolly is not in the squad. I think it's a fair opinion that he is arguably, when fit, our best striker but it looks as though he might be paying a visit to the treatment room instead today.

I agree...shame is never fit.. then again, he may have fallen out with cortese....?
Gis Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 "On the bench for Saints today are Davis, Martin, Harding, Butterfield, Chamberlain, Doble and Reeves" according to the OS. Hope Ben Reeves gets a run out at some point. I'll be really interested to see how he gets on against adults, having only seen him play in the U18s where he usually stood out as a class player. Could be a great full back if he can handle the physical side of things in the first team, but he sure isn't another van Gobbel in stature.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 I agree...shame is never fit.. then again, he may have fallen out with cortese....? this was one of the last things lb suggested to us.Well not NC exactly, just fallen out with someone.
Thedelldays Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 this was one of the last things lb suggested to us.Well not NC exactly, just fallen out with someone. may god go with connolly if he crossed cortese
Window Cleaner Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 may god go with connolly if he crossed cortese don't see why he should have though, more likely didn't think so much of not getting a game when our "star striker" could score his way out of a wet paper bag.I suggest that maintaining the ridiculously out of form Lambert in the side is causing problems.

fish fingers Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 A Shame that Connolly is not fit today, he does spend a lot of time out of the first team due to injury. When fit he is probably our most effective striker.
madruss Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 I note Connolly is not in the squad. I think it's a fair opinion that he is arguably, when fit, our best striker but it looks as though he might be paying a visit to the treatment room instead today. I agree with you on this point. It is a real shame. There is no doubt of Connolly's ability, and I would certainly rank him in the upper echelons of saints' striker hierarchy. However, and this is the crucial part, he spends far too much time in and around the treatment room.

Thedelldays Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 do we know that he isn't fit?? Was a few minutes against Shrewsbury too much for him then? quite possibly...
scott_saints Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 do we know that he isn't fit?? Was a few minutes against Shrewsbury too much for him then? All I know is that he is in the treatment room. Shame really, as he is potentially the best striker we have.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 Really glad to see Holmes starting. Hope he plays a blinder.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 November, 2010 Posted 27 November, 2010 All I know is that he is in the treatment room. Shame really, as he is potentially the best striker we have. So was Marian Pahars until he contracted an affliction remarkably similar to lead swinger's cramp.
