Joesaint Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Disagree with is changing the game completely, Lallana is our best player but with De Ridder, Holmes or Chaplow and Gully coming back we should be able to cover it, its what the league is about - having the depth to deal with players injured/rested. Connolly is back as well isnt he. We are going to win this I feel it!!!!!! COYS Plus our defence is starting to really gell.
Thedelldays Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 I can see... davis fox hoiveld fonte richardson chappers cork hammond de ridder guly lambert
Dr Who? Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Right I am off to the game, COYR!! Well yellows!!
shurlock Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 I can see... davis fox hoiveld fonte richardson chappers cork hammond de ridder guly lambert Yep, I'd go with Chaplow. Better not to give too much away early doors- and if we then need to go chasing the game, bring on Holmes.
InvictaSaint Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 AL not fit to play today (foot injury)Chaplow to replace him. Do you know how serious the injury is? Is it a case of NA preferring not to risk him so that he's ok for West Ham game?
Thedelldays Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Thought our defence was chuffing dreadful against Watford. Just got by on their finishing being pathetic. We can cope with some injuries, but Lallana is different. He's so far above this standard it's not possible to replace him and be as good. No other team in the league has a player like that so can compensate for injuries a bit more. Holmes/De Ridder/Guly can be good but it's a huge blow. I just don't see us creating much without him. Don't go over board or anything
saints_is_the_south Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Not read about Lallana's injury anywhere, where did you hear it? Bad news if true.
Toadhall Saint Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 We'll go behind in the first half and win it in the second - 2-1 Saints (RL & AL). COYRAWM! AL not fit to play today (foot injury)Chaplow to replace him. Well thats my prediction buggered - Looks like Sir Rickie will be getting two! AL is a big loss but we have a squad and I'm sure Holmes (or AN Other) can step up to the mark.
Killer Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 There isn't an "I" in team. But there is in meat pie. The anagram of meat is team. I dunno what he's talking about.
saint_jas Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Time to get the 20 min train to Derby, cmn Saints !!

THEVMAN Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Apparently Holmes is also out with an ankle injury at the moment.
NickG Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 3 points over next two games will keep us on track for automatic promotion. Anything today is a bonus and would make Tuesday even more of an exciting opportunity for be heading for promotion.
Saint_clark Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 AL not fit to play today (foot injury)Chaplow to replace him. Apparently Holmes is also out with an ankle injury at the moment. Where are you getting this from?
Dalek2003 Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Apparently Holmes is also out with an ankle injury at the moment. Holmes could be one of our best players if he did not spend so much time in the treatment room.
ohwhenthesaints Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Where are you getting this from? He always has accurate team news before it is announced. He's probably friends with one of the players.
S-Clarke Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Gutted for Holmes to be honest. I can't see him having much of a career anymore in the top leagues anymore, he just cannot stay fit for more than a couple of games. He'll drift to the lower leagues after this year unfortunately, frustrating as he is decent when he's fit - but he just isn't ever fit. Lallana is a blow, losing him will make us so much weaker, there's no other way to dress that up. Teams don't look better because their best player is out...so we'll do well to still be in the top 2 after the next few games. We do have cover...but no ''Lallana'' - he's the guy that dictates how we play, opens teams up, attacks players etc. We do not have anyone else that can do that which is a bit worrying, but there isn't really anyone of that level who'd be happy to be backup if lallana does get injured...
Benj Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Starting line-up is Davis, Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox, Guly, Schneiderlin, Cork, Chaplow, Connolly, Lambert
S-Clarke Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Starting line-up is Davis, Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox, Guly, Schneiderlin, Cork, Chaplow, Connolly, Lambert Good to see Conners back!
Window Cleaner Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Starting line-up is Davis, Richardson, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox, Guly, Schneiderlin, Cork, Chaplow, Connolly, Lambert Hammond injured as well then?? If so not a great 2 weeks rest period, went into it with a fully fit squad, no competitve games,half the squad banged up at the end, footballers need competitve matches otherwise they train too hard .
the wedge Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 A starting midfield of 4 central midfielders. We're gonna lose today.
S-Clarke Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 A starting midfield of 4 central midfielders. We're gonna lose today. I would imagine it's a diamond. Guly at the tip of it, Morgan sitting with Cork left side central, and Chappers right side central. Get the full backs to bomb on, which both are great at doing, and it could work well.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 A starting midfield of 4 central midfielders. We're gonna lose today. 3 surely, Guly is an advance midfielder.
Matthew Le God Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Hammond injured as well then?? If so not a great 2 weeks rest period, went into it with a fully fit squad, no competitve games,half the squad banged up at the end, footballers need competitve matches otherwise they train too hard . Hammond is fit, he is on the bench.
Chris Marsden = Genius Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Not too confident seeing the team, can see Theo Robinson causing us problems with his pace.

Saint Without a Halo Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Big test will be interesting to see how we raise to the occasion!
Saint_clark Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Don't agree with dropping Hammond again. Not too confident now.
Saint_clark Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Pompey fans on Solent thinking they're bigger than Forest...and saying that they should bring Martin O'Neill in.
S-Clarke Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Pompey fans on Solent thinking they're bigger than Forest...and saying that they should bring Martin O'Neill in. They're still as deluded as ever then. Good to hear.
trousers Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 I can see us losing this by 2 or 3 goals.... :-(
