Matthew Le God Posted 15 January, 2011 Share Posted 15 January, 2011 (edited) Have people forgotten he was walking around before todays game for all to see and collected an award at pitchside before the match kicked off. He really isn't "that" badly injured. Edited 15 January, 2011 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 15 January, 2011 Share Posted 15 January, 2011 Just heard on Solent that Lallana is out for 6 months with serious ligament dmage to his knee? Do I hear that right? not that it is easy to tell much from Adkin's interviews but thought he sounded fairly relaxed saying something like "we expect him back sooner rather than later".

NickG Posted 15 January, 2011 Share Posted 15 January, 2011 but if he is it will be a huge loss - probably the player we would miss more than any others. This is why I hope both Alex Ox-C and Puncheon stay unless replacments ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimond Geezer Posted 15 January, 2011 Share Posted 15 January, 2011 Well obviously losing 2 CMs out of 3 has a negative effect, it's not supposed to happen that way is it,but we can't keep good players on the bench just in case we have a bit of an injury crisis.Having said that Chaplow getting another injury (unless it's a minor illness) is a bit disconcerting as he hasn't played all that much of late. He got a whack in the back, about 10 minutes before half time. I assume that is why he didn't reappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatchamsaint Posted 15 January, 2011 Share Posted 15 January, 2011 Spoke to lallana when he went into the ground today ,he reckons up to 5 weeks, but as an earlier poster stated he sees the specialist on Tuesday and until then he does not know for sure.

Dark Munster Posted 15 January, 2011 Share Posted 15 January, 2011 Jeez we draw to day , and the wrist sliters are out in force on this thread and the post match thread Seems a draw against a very good team is the end of our promotion hopes if we believe the comments on the forum tonght PS if you are going to slit your wrist make sure you use the correct technique Yes, but didn't Saints also fail to score in 5 matches that AL missed earlier in the season? That's what makes this worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 This is a BIG problem, we missed Lallana's creativity today and can't afford to drop too many points if are to get automatic. If it's around 6 weeks he's out I would get a top loanie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 You cannot replace Lallana with a cheque book. He unlocks defences, hence the 0-0! In fact you can. You sprinkle some blank cheques along their back four. They pick up the cheques, allowing our attackers time to sprint through and score. By the time they realise the cheques are in the name of Ali al Faraj (and hence worthless) we'll have already scored. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Lallana is IMO the best player in the league. However...... Other teams don't have Lallana and still score goals. So...... I would be very worried if we were such a one man team. We are not, we can win without him, as much as his loss will be missed we were made early season favourites for a reason and not just because we have Adam.

SaintRichmond Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Adkins said in his post match interview with Solent that both Hammond and Lallana will be back 'sooner rather than later'.

SaintRichmond Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 There's a HUGE difference between having a squad good enough for league 1 promotion and replacing lallana. We have lots of good players for this league and could sign others who have good league 1 ability. But IMO lallana is a top flight quality player and therefore stands head and shoulders above this league? How does a league 1 club handle that? If we'd just signed puncheon from millwal we'd be saying great signing great replacement. But even him, who is good enough for a higher league, doesn't come close to being lallanas quality. If were looking at league 1 or championship replacements then Dickson and puncheon will do. If were looking for lallana quality, it'll have to be a big unlikely signing. Unfortunately NONE who can do an attacking Midfield role though Yesterday was ample proof of that It was back to hoof it up in the air again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Millwall he was relaxed, enjoyed his game and then out came his championship quality. All he needs here is a goal, it's been a horrible barren spell for him in a saints shirt and I think it's affecting him mentally. Adkins is the best possible person to help him with that though.

trousers Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Here's a "cup half full" view.... Lallana getting an injury now, that could keep him out for several weeks, could end up being a blessing in disguise.... To me, we were always going to be in danger of burning Lallana out over the next few months, especially with the FA Cup still on the radar. Despite having a squad rotation system (of sorts) in place, Adam was always going to be first name on the team sheet for EVERY game. Now he's got a period of enforced rest, him coming back in February/March for the final quarter of the season could well work out in our favour as he will be fresh again. Of course, this 'positive thinking' view on the situation is based on the assumption that the team will be able to stay in touch with the automatic promotion berths in the meantime. Every cloud....

miserableoldgit Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Yeah but for us or Millwall. He had a great chnace in the first half but blazed it over. Some of his cross-field passes to AOC were sublime. I thought that he had a decent game. Sadly he is one of those players where the nay-sayers pick up on the negative and ignore the positive.

Thimble Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Surely its time to buy ryan harley. Just the player we need imo. He would be ideal. We have been in for him during this window and we even inquired towards the of last year but we have been re-buffed which is odd considering he is out of contract in the summer and can walk away for nothing!...Now he knows that other clubs are interested in buying him he is surely not going to sign a new contract with them which means Exeter will miss out on a transfer fee. But what was interesting was that whilst we kept everything in-house as that is how Poyet likes it, Exeter's DIrector Of Football blabbed about it all to the press, which leads me to think they have done this to make other clubs sit up and take notice in the hope of tempting further bids. So, if you are going to make your move then I would do so quickly because if no one buys him before the end of the window I would expect us to go back in for him knowing that this will be the Grecians last chance to get any money for him before he walks out for nothing...Not that I think we need him as we have plenty of decent mid-fielders...

Very strange contradiction indeed... No, not really a contradiction at all, more an observation about perception. Do you not think it strange how the wrist slitters on here, no names mentioned, who rarely see our team yet claim to "support" them, see one thing, yet our promtion rivals see the opposite, which tends to subscribe to the majority view on the "this squad is good enough for promtion" thread. No doubt they all "inform" themselves from a lot of the same sources, strange one that. Edited 17 January, 2011 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
